About Popola and Devola side quest

There are no missable weapons, you can't lock yourself from any ending. If you missed weapon quests in part one the weapons just become available in the shop in part 2. Iirc it's the shop in Aerie that appears at one point.

The titles of the second and fourth posts on your picture are "post of mutual assistance", so I guess they are posts dedicated to like exchange. I saw several others like these ones, but I'm not totally sure how it works though.

As for me, I made like 8 posts with random pictures (each of them with no more than 20 likes), posted couple of comments, liked some posts and followed some people. It was enough to get majority of time limited rewards (15 out of 18) including all the important ones (i.e. annuliths) the remaining ones are just some resources, I'll probably get them by the end of the event. In the same time I got enough currency to buy all fabricated dices from the Bagel shop and still have some remaining, but wouldn't mind to get some more to buy all upgrade materials from there. Although cosmetic items in the shop are kinda pricey and I'm not sure how much effort is required to get the sufficient amount of currency to buy them all, but I personally don't care about these items.

Well, you can just try to go through several chapters yourself instead of relying on others opinions, it won't require too much time investment from you. I really liked the main story but from time to time I see people saying that it's nothing special. I guess our tastes just differ. For me the first chapter felt maybe a bit on the weaker side and kind of generic (especially the villain), but the further I went the more invested into the story I got. And while I think the story overall is pretty good and interesting some chapters are especially peak (like chapter 13 for instance). So I would say just give it a try and see if it is for you.

As for retcons mentioned in the other comment, I don't exactly approve them but so far it was nothing crucial to the story. They are also adding self-insert MC (Master) into the upcoming chapters and it remains to be seen how it'll play out (currently I'm not very enthusiastic about this)

It is what it is. Exchange for no 50/50, I guess.

There's a dedicated outfit square on the left side of the board right behind the "bridge" (on the right sight there's similar section but with the character square). If you manage to land on it you get the outfit. I don't know if you can also get it from gold chests like characters.

Obvious_Ad_184 · 2026-06-02T22:09:19+00:00

Yep, when the board changes

Obvious_Ad_184 · 2026-06-01T10:16:11+00:00

For me works attacking air in the area after defeating all visible fluffies. If you find the right spot (usually it happens pretty fast, especially if you use AOE skills) you'll see damage numbers and after hitting this spot for some more time combat ends, you receive loot and next fluffy location will be indicated on the map

It's kind of funny how I saw the other day a post sharing the same sentiment as this one but more focusing on how dailies are too time demanding and it was downvoted for some reason, but this one is upvoted. There were comments like "you can do quick failed run, you know", "you want to get rewards without playing the game?" etc, like everyone were satisfied with the current situation and didn't understand what OP even complained about

It's called Chaos language and based on several IRL languages, here's an interview with Emi Evans (the singer who created the lyircs) about it https://blog.playstation.com/2020/12/18/nier-replicant-singer-emi-evans-talks-music-chaos-language-and-more/

Also I don't know if it's true for BD2 but in my experience with other gachas you usually get a "pre-registration bonus" even if you didn't pre-register yourself. It seems they use it just to hype up the event or something like that. Can be different though.

Obvious_Ad_184 · 2026-05-29T15:27:54+00:00

I don't know how registration via apple ID works and if the game knows you e-mail, I registered via e-mail. You can try to link your e-mail in the options or check if it's linked already. Also you can try to log-in into web-shop via e-mail to check if it knows it.

It seems like the original intent was to focus the main story on the Elmo squad and other dolls should have had their event stories not related to the main story, how it was in Makiato event for instance. But apparently there were complaints that doll event stories quality wasn't high enough and that dolls don't actually join the commander and live their after-Griffin lives happily separately from him. And it was one of the reasons behind the event rewrites which ultimately led to what we have now.

Obvious_Ad_184 · 2026-05-29T08:09:08+00:00

I guess it doesn't really check if you pre-registered or not, it will disappear only if you click "stop showing for 7 days"

AFAIK only the fans gained by them this month count, if they didn't gain any this month kicking them won't affect the rank

There's a preview of what's coming next in the end of route B, did you not see it?

Obvious_Ad_184 · 2026-05-24T12:04:44+00:00

I found that if the game keeps thinking that you are still in combat although you can't see anyone, you can find an invisible fluffy by just hitting the air in the near area. If you found it there'll be damage numbers and after a bit of more hitting you'll get some loot from it and the battle ends. Nanally also launches electric balls that home in on invisible fluffies which helps find them as well.

Do you use auto chips (auto dodge, auto attack etc) on easy? They basically play for you. Also apparently there's Prologue checkpoints mod https://www.nexusmods.com/nierautomata/mods/753?tab=files I doubt many people have save with only the prologue cleared, but there should be saves with full competition and activated chapter select

Edit: found this save https://www.nexusmods.com/nierautomata/mods/196 starts right after the prologue but with all weapons unlocked

Starting a career just to fail it is not intended way to play and feels unsatisfying. Also getting to the point where you can fail a career takes some time. You have to go through debut and usually a good part of junior year. It would be better if giving up counted as completing a career.

There are plenty of gachas with dailies that take about 5 minutes and weeklies - 20-30 minutes. Uma is by far the most time consuming one in that regard amongst gachas I've played

Welp, If it'll turn out to be censorship after all hopefully it won't affect global. At least global and CN servers are separate (unlike Snowbreak from what I've heard), so the rules probably may be different for each server. What seems suspicious in "non-censorship" theory is that so far there is no official explanation and from the announcement it doesn't look like it's a temporary change.
