I'm just saying, perhaps had we lived in a better timeline where more Japanese adventure games and dating sims other than Princess Tomato, Phoenix Wright, and, I dunno, JB Harold Murder Club had actually been localized, Square Enix wouldn't have felt the need to explain the concept of routes to westerners upon clearing Nier Automata that first time in the year of our lord 2017 so they wouldn't lose their shit about spending $60 on what they thought was a 12 hour story.

"To unlock the last story, you need to complete all of the endings by following good and evil paths, once you've defeated all of the final bosses such as Black Doom, The Egg Dealer, or the GUN commander and Sonic, the last story will be unlocked, if its still not unlocked, it means you missed some endings...If so, go again over the whole story and remember which paths you took and which ones you forgot to take, now after seeing what you missed or after unlocking the Last Story, select it, and the cut scenes of the real truth from shadows past shall appear one by one."
Shadow the Hedgehog is 18 years old, they all know about true routes.

Ahem
I think it's perfectly fine to pay $60 for a 12 hour story.
