Iconoclasts - I can't believe it. Humans are so flaky. I knew I should have asked the tengu about this instead.

Another one is when Mina leaves to rescue samba, you can actually catch up to her before she reaches blockrock and offer to go with her. It's a neat little detail!

Re: Iconoclasts - I don't think she knows what troublesome company she's taking up...
Harder Mode adds a few things here and there to make things more annoying for you, and hits are far more painful. In the Dark Cave, we see this in the flashing blue squishy things. They're bullet sponges, and hurt, despite being stationary. In the boss fight, the shockwave attack has the added feature of those bouncing bullet things, which are more annoying to dodge. The lights in the final stage of the fight also go out much faster than they do in Normal mode.
And here, Royal truly shows how he's the worst! From what I interpreted, the samurai dude was basically showing respect for saving his life just before he got ceiling dropped. Royal throughout this episode shows how out of touch he is with anyone but himself, the way he speaks to you, the way he sort of discusses the Transcender, etc. These scenes are kind of what pushed me away from him, since the gilded life he's lived makes him incapable of connecting in a meaningful manner to anyone, even when he wants to. Like, we know what's trying to do in terms of trying to join Robin's adventure, but the way he says it unintentional sounds like he's just trying to use her.
And it gets worse from here.
Interesting to note: While the game doesn't quite say it, the Statues are likely of what the note (and, implicitly, Royal) referred to as Father. Given the Triangle symbol on the statues, it seems likely.
Something that the game never really notes that you should keep in mind while exploring (and since you asked): When you find treasure chests that are locked, the key for them will always be in the same screen/room as the chest. You cannot carry the key from another screen. Same goes for any treasure chest with a light bulb lock, the power generator will be in the same screen/room.

And yeah, Myron sounds like he's onto something when the talks about the machine.
Like this planet isn't actually Earth (like raocow said) but an artificial planet. It's also interesting that the Controllers that formed the Penance were basically designed from this machine to some degree.
Also, Royal is still being Royal.
A quick reminder: I would suggest that the next time you encounter a warp, you take the opportunity to explore and cover some sidequests, as well as try out your new abilities in areas you've already been in. It would be a good break from linear play.

Also, I'm particularly glad to be watching this in this moment because Myron's dialogue makes a lot more sense when there's no gameplay pressure on me and I can read and parse it properly.

Anyway, the Side Quest list has been updated in the OP.

Re: Iconoclasts - Awww, my optical camouflage suit broke!
I admit I had been waffling back and forth about providing a (spoilered) Missed Items list once you were deep enough into the end game. However, given the map keeps track of the completion percentage for each individual section of the world, I have since concluded that I don't really think one is necessary, because you can always tell if there's at least one thing left undiscovered in any given area, and the map system highlights screens with items with those square icons. I feel like any advice beyond that is simply telling how to solve the puzzles, and that's no fun at all. At that point we might as well just shove a prewritten online guide in your e-face and call it a day.
I suppose I cannot stop anyone else from doing it, though.
Finally, as always, the OP has been updated with the side quest list.

Polro (Pre-Game) (???)
Agent Grey (Pre-Game) (Juice)
Mrs. Anders (Pre-Game) (Penance)
Henetta (Penance)
Ella (Penance)
Agent White (Seeds)
Gerrie (Fell to his death)
The Silver Watchman (Drowned)
Grey's death is particularly graphic and I love it.
Re: Iconoclasts - Awww, my optical camouflage suit broke!
I actually love Elro as a character specifically because of how much I HATE Elro. He's genuinely well used in that he's an insufferable asshole who selfishly endangers everyone around him while trying to take a moral highground and insisting that he's "just trying to protect his family" but he repeatedly pays the consequences for that shitty behavior. Literally the only thing Mina and Agent Black agree on in the entire game is maiming Elro, which should tell you all you need to know about Elro.
