is it worth to finish all 26 endings ?

[xSW 於]

well i finished the first ending i played like 1.5 hours on the second one and i feel it's the same , the only thing that changed is the charecter your playing
so the question is should i continue playing the second ending ?

You definitely must finish the five main endings (A-E), that much is true. All the others are more or less auxiliary, you could do them for the achievement after beating the game.

What the hell, final act is the best. Why the hell you would stop after playing as 9S? Also you want high level to finish the colosseum in the DLC.

Keep playing. 9S play-through is indeed pretty similar to 2B's, but after that, it's very different, and you should just keep playing until ending E.

The structure of the game is broken down like this:

Route A = the first half of the game/story from 2B's perspective
Route B = the first half of the game/story from 9S' perspective
(beating Routes A and B unlocks the second half of the game/story, called Route C)
Route C = the second half of the game/story from multiple perspectives

There are five main endings. The other endings are "joke" endings that can be found by basically doing things the game doesn't really want you to do. Some of them are easy to find; some of them are hidden. Think of them as collectables, since they show up on your load-game file.

Although only the first five endings are "real" ones, as others described, I think obtaining all endings is still worth it, as they can be quite entertaining. Ending Y on the other hand is a little bit off this track, and while it is not mandatory, I highly recommend playing it as it concludes one of the Nier series' stories in a somewhat true yet sad way.

route B (or the second playthough) is my least favorite. I also felt as if it was a chore. The third playthough (route C-E) is where the game really picks up, and you won't be doing the same story bits from a diferant perspective. In my oppinion, it's worth it. But don't bother with the rest of the endings as they are pretty much just glorified death messages. I'm having fun collecting them though, I mean you can get killed by eating fish! just try it, it's a good laugh.

Yep, route B is a bit odd although this is more related to its gameplay style.

Or you can get the actual true ending by just going fishing!
