    YEs, yEs, wE gEt it, thE game has four chapters and you only get the last 3 after repeating the whole initial game once. They’re not really “endings”. It’s not even 9S’ perspective, you see a ton of extra shit that’s not related to his viewpoint.

    The thing I wanted automated was the whole combat, at minimal difficulty AND minimal time spent. Not because I don’t play hard games (I’ve beaten plenty) but because I decided the combat wasn’t interesting to me and I wanted to fast forward to the story. The game didn’t offer that.

    And when I finally did wait out those long auto boss fights, I got an extremely unrewarding story.

    Ending SpoilErs

    How the fuck do you take a lady whose opening lines are “Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death…[get me the fuck out of this]” and reward her efforts in breaking the cycle by…bringing her back to life again? On a barren planet where all their friends, and even the village and the orphan group are dead?

    I swear, so many people were hard-shipping 2B and 9S so much they didn’t parse how torturous that ending is.
