Every day's a sale, every sale's a win!

I did. And will happily do so again when I play again.

As a narcoleptic, I am fucking pissed.

Haha, it can certainly elicit some emotion, which is fitting, given the story.

Yes. This. 100000000%

It’s more than a soup.

Overclock for Speed Star helps, if you can dodge an enemy in the area. Also, on the third race, jump off the building, and then start the self-destruct sequence: you drop like a rock and don't take damage or have to take a pause before moving.

I hope it does not meet the same fate an NieR, which was rolling along in the 90s before some reviewers decided to only play the first chapter and give it 50s, 5/10s.

You know, it actually wasn't that much of a grind for upgrade stuff. Also, you start swimming in money (thank you machine cores + fish!), and you can buy most stuff. A couple of items for weapon and pod upgrades are a pain: black pearls, pure water, meteorites, and elaborate gadgets, I'm looking at you! But all for…

My clock ended at around 95 hours when I finished route/ending E. I don't know how people got through all of it in 30-40. They must be avoiding a ton of enemies or not picking up every shiny pick up they come across.or revisiting old areas to see if there is anything new. Or grinding for weapon upgrade parts.

I'd say that's somewhat accurate: it's very much the same chain of events (minus a few changes near the end), and a different character that engages fighting in a much different way.

That's exactly what I was referring to, haha.

Argh, can't get the spoiler text to work, but that moment at the beginning of route C/D where you realize that, now you are playing the game.

Yeah, it took me a couple of days to get everything together; the unit data was the longest, but was needed, because it provided the elaborate gadgets I needed for my last pod upgrade. It was a lot of transporting back and forth from the Flooded Coast to the City Ruins Cave.

That chapter select was essential in trying to find 95% unit intel. Ugh.

The NG+ in N:A is really like Chapter 2 of a story, which is a retelling of Chapter 1 from a different character's perspective. Sort of like Rashomon.

There’s no save points on the Team Cup Noodles Recipeh! route, from what I can tell, so no opportunity to switch back and forth. At least that I can discern.

You would have to know when Noctis and Gladio/Ignis reunite within the chapter. You’d have to play as Noctis up until that point (or close to), head to a save room, choose the Team Cup Noodles Recipeh! route, and play it through.

Only way I can think of playing both at the same time.

No, it appears in-game during Chapter 13. You get the choice to go with Noctis or Gladio/Ignis. If you choose Noctis, you can switch to the other route at any save room. However, if you do switch, you’re playing as Gladio/Ignis until they reunite later in the chapter.

Noctis can sprint in the chapter now, and I…
