The play test also makes mention of a prize since it's a battle royale. I think it's an Amazon gift card.Over 100k players hot damn. Downloading it now.
The release of the playtest function is already doing work I see.
Also for Nier tips. Unless they have changed it (I never played the DLC) just kill a lot of sheep since there is an achievement for it and it's very easy to get early in the game. I can't remember if it's 100 sheep or 200 sheep.
My question is about the garden achievement, how will that work. On the PS3 and Xbox 360 it was easier to get the achievement by messing with your internal system clock, other wise it would take days and even weeks to get the achievement the "correct way".
From my time playing the only missable things are the eagle egg and this one quest that you talk to someone on your way to a lighthouse. They are a noticable character it just never accursed to you to talk to them again sort of thing, they will be over looking the vista.
Unless things have changed a lot the most OP weapon in the game is a maxed up phoenix lance, that will just 1 shot pretty much everything in your path.
