I've never played the original. I mainly got it because I like Platinum and the demo was fun.

Apparently that's not supposed to happen. There was an update in the JPN version that glitched up some text, and it seems the recent update over here made it appear elsewhere.
Edit: Yeah, the 1.04 update is what's causing it. If you can somehow play the game pre-patch it'll be fixed up (alternatively, patiently wait for a new patch to come up, since it does affect the story later on rather than just menus):

I booted the game up again and everything seem to have fix itself. Weird, but I'll take it.
I just got into the open world and there are so many dead bodies (other players). I feel a little bad retrieving their stuff.

Two questions:
How do you unlock those locked chests with the chains all around them? Something I need to find or a skill I need to get later on? NG+ even?
And second, there were two doors I couldn't access in the prologue level. Would I get another chance to go back there or was I just not able get into those rooms period?

Game is designed to play through NG+ several times, so don't worry about locked doors/chests right now.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.

Biggest misconception of the game. Not really spoilers, but you play through the first half of the game twice, first as 2B, then as 9S who can open locked chests, then you continue the rest of the game. It is so sad to see how much the trophy acquired percentage drops after the first 2B section, barely even 1/3rd of the game...

At least you can always try again later.
Also yeah, same thing happened to me, lol. Only I tried sticking it out. Did a bad-ass job surviving, but the parade wasn't so lucky since I couldn't take out the machines in time.
There's one side mission I found in a canyon that ended up making me fight an enemy I was HUGELY underleveled for. I could've stuck it out there, but didn't want to take an hour to beat him because I was doing so little damage.

This is another case of the game intending to be played in a non-traditional way.

I just beat level 40 Mr. Servo.
How many more times do I have to fight this clown?

I think two or three more times. I recommend waiting until later to do him, I think he gets up to level 60.

Definitely. He was really tedious to beat that last time and he was taking half of my health every time he hit me. Thankfully, I have a ridiculous amount of healing items, so after 30+ minutes, I got him. I decided to wait until I'm a higher level to fight him again.

Oh yeah that explains why the % goes considerably down...

People should realize it's not really NG+ and it's more of a continuation...

good news =) you don't have to

it can be upgraded and because of the speed, imo it's one of the best weapons in the game =)

btw, self-destruct. do it a lot. it doesn't kill you, it leaves you with 1hp and then you can just heal up and enjoy the viewwwww

That's great to know about the sword! Now about self-destruct, I think I almost did it accidentally.
I have this habit of pressing L3 and R3 together sometimes for no real reason. I did it and she started screaming and freaking out for a quick half-second. If that's how you do it, I'm glad it's something you have to hold down to pull off.
