Save slots???

[ashsedai]

How many save slots you can have in the game? Just three? I play the game with my sister so we use two different slots but it seems that we will need more when start playing 9S and A2.
Or so I heard..

You need only 3. Play the game. After this, back here to say: 'now i understand'.

[ashsedai]

Oh... Well, thanks then!

In all case, u can save the folder 'Nier Automata' in 'my C:\Users\Home\Documents\My Games\NieR_Automata (in other location from your computer)

(but, play the game, you will see 'why' have only 3 slots)

I suggest holding off on Ending E until both you and your sister can and want to do it.
For techinical reasons.
But no, you don't need multiple save file slots.

yeah I used to think the same. "wtf only 3 slots with so many branches?" but then after finishing the game I go 'ooooohhhh'

"For technical reasons"

You don't HAVE to delete your save file

SPOILERSI'm not talking about that. It will delete all save slots. So if his sister isn't finished and he decides to preceed with Ending E it will delete her save as well.
So that's why he and his sister should wait until they both can and want to proceed with Ending E.SPOILERS

You're doing it wrong. You should be using different windows user accounts and different steam accounts with family sharing enabled.

That way you can both play the game with your own save files that won't be deleted if the other chooses to do so, both get access to steam cloud save, both get to complete achievements and you can point to the same steam install directory to save space.

I see, that makes sense. Thanks.
