My expert sleuthing (lol) labels this as coming from "draw the squad" in which it is one of many templates that can be used.
It's the standard opening line for the merchants from Resident Evil 4. The android has apparently found a copy of the game and taken it for a historical account.

So this is post ending E, or like... everything, I dunno.
I don't know what the practical application of those last questions the pod was asking me was, as far as wanting to help people even though it may be someone I don't like, etc, but the answer was always yes. How could I not? People need help and you don't need to make it about liking them or not, or getting thanks in return, etc.
Anyway I don't have a save file anymore so whatever that did I hope it did it well. The title screen is very pretty now though.

By sacrificing your save data, you create a helper that helps other people get through the credits hacking sequence so they can get to the final ending. If you called for help on that part, every extra triangle helping you out was someone else who chose to delete their save to help someone out.
Music has been an integral part of the series and a standout feature. How closely do you work with composer Keiichi Okabe to ensure that the music matches the vision for bringing areas and scenes to life?
It's almost like the game is a slave to the music in a lot of ways. The emotions that are created in the players themselves are [a result of the music] and the game just sort of follows along behind that. I'm not quite sure how it's done outside of Japan, but certainly in most Japanese games development, the music is probably done in the last 30 percent of the development cycle, right at the end. Nier [both Automata and the original] is very different [in that] the music was done in a very early stage, and then the rest of the game worked around that and was fitted into that. The way I ordered the music there is that I look on YouTube for music clips, and I'll get one and I'll paste it and send it over to [Mr. Okabe], and say, "Right, I want something like this; this kind of tempo, this kind of pace, and [then] there's 15 frames in here like at the 45 second mark that the bass turns up, so we're going to have to make it very high-tempo, very exciting, you've got to bring the pace up there."
That's normally the kind of thing I send to him, and I think he really hates that. If you tried that with a regular composer and you made that kind of request, most of them would just turn around and say, "Alright then, you ask the guy that made that to make one for you!" But Mr. Okabe, you see, he quite likes money, so he'll do anything you ask him to. The theme on the overall Nier team, though, is if you'll give us money, we'll basically do whatever you want.

From that interview:
You're very vocal about your love of drinking. Is that part of your creative process?
I mean certainly, I've always liked drinking a lot, but I remember when I was writing the previous games' scenarios and the stories for them, I noticed a [recurring theme] that all the stuff I had written when I was really out of it was actually the stuff that everyone really liked. And I thought, "Why the hell should that be?" It worked out. If I drink, I become a bit tipsy and a bit of a fool, and I lose my inhibitions. That kind of uninhibited story writing only comes out when I'm drinking, so I definitely try to drink a lot more whenever I'm writing now. It's very interesting; when I'm writing when I'm sober, it's like, "Ah yes, that's an interesting story, I'll write that, I'll put that there." But that's very different then when I've started drinking. I just start getting involved and having an emotional connection to the characters. I'll start crying and [I'm] like, "Wow, this is a really sad story!" So yeah, that's why I think it's better. Then I'll pass out, and wake up with tears down my face like, "Oh, I was writing a story." In the original Nier, there was the story of the wolf and the people with the masks. I remember crying along with the story as I was writing it while I was completely wasted.
So first of all, I have to check whether this interview is going to be written in Japanese, and it's not, so I can tell you. Basically, when I was young and I was in school, I was really, really unpopular with the ladies and it was very hard to get a girl. So I felt at that time that the purpose of my life was to find a girlfriend, and I struggled really hard with that. And when I reached 21 years old, I finally got a girlfriend for the first time, and I thought, "Wow, this is great, I've achieved my life's goal now", so the rest of my life is really just leftover time. I've told this story once before when my wife was around and she got very angry at me and said, "You never tell that to anyone ever again." Again, I really love games, too, so one of my other big goals in life was to develop games. When I finally managed to do Drakengard for the first time, that was another one of my big life goals crossed off. So at the moment, I'm really wondering what I need to look at as a goal for the rest of my life. I'm not sure what I would like.
[...] The one thing I really want you to put in this article though is that, watch out children, because you're not going to learn anything about life or philosophy from a drunk, 47-year-old weirdo.

Experiment with different skill chips and level up the ones that fit your style of play. Be aware that because of the "cost" of installing certain chips, it's sometimes better to have two lower leveled chips than a maxed out one.
if you make it more than 5-10 hours in to the game and are enjoying yourself, I highly recommend going to the actual end of the game. Stopping at the last little bit because I couldn't take it anymore made me a sad husk of a man.

Which means you basically experienced what the characters were feeling.
This game is weird for me. Like when I quit playing the game I have a really hard time actually booting it back up to play it. But when I play the game I can't put it down. It's never really happened to me before.
The music though... The music is probably what brings me back, and everything else keeps me going.

Hey, quick question i thought i'd toss out. So, was thinking of restarting Automata from scratch (i'd started again after Ending E, but then got super busy and drifted away long enough it'd be worth it), i actually could afford to pick up the DLC as well now.
i was just wondering how it interacts with the main game? Is it something you can get into relatively quickly (as far as access/recommended level), or is it something better to hold off until post(ish) game? If it's the latter, i can hold off a bit more before i buy it.
This went on my backlog working on ending 2. 9S's DPS is just not there and hacking is getting tiresome. I'll pull this out eventually.

DLC spoilers...
It doesn't really interact with main storyline. It adds three arenas hidden throughout the map behind the elevator doors that you couldn't open during your regular play through. I was max level when I started it, so I'm not sure when the game lets you access them. Each one has a dozen or so levels; the first few aren't too bad, but for the final ones you'd have to be pretty high level with some good chip sets.
Thanks for the heads up, Mego. i guess it's something i can leave to the side for the nonce then, which is fine. The DLC isn't exactly pricey, but why spend money when you don't need to.

This was posted in SE++, but Famitsu published an interview they did with the devs. Had stuff like the surprise that the game sold more than double what they expected. And then the devs did something very troll-like.
Apparently something built into the game hasn't been discovered by any players yet. All they said was that it is "unpleasant."

More unpleasant than unlocking the final title screen?

*dies at sudden twin stick shooting section*
“So it’s gonna switch up on me here and there. I’ll be watching for that now.”
*dies at unfamiliar character action section*
“Jesus. This is a very long intro section. I’m getting tired of playing through it from the start. It would be nice if there was a way to heal. Wait, I’ll just start hitting buttons and see if one heals or something.”

“Oh god, I was really handicapping myself. Now that I can recover health this should be easy!”

The difficulty eases up after the opening segment when you start to tailor your loadout to how you want to play but the opening sequence is often regarded as one of the tougher sections.
