My playthrough
In my playthrough for Bad ending i fought Special forces and Enforcement Squads for Good ending, however, some online guides show say that these two missions are swapped for the bad and good endings.

I only chose the Special forces craft over the Enforcement squads because it was an easier fight, its also very possible that this choice on the first playthrough doesn't matter.

Also, when choosing between Vespers or Redguns, I chose Vespers during my Bad Ending playthrough and Redguns for Good plathrough, in this case, its possible that this choice also doesn't matter.

This most likely applies to the choice given in the Attack the Dam Complex mission when given a choice, in the sense that it doesn't matter.

According to a guide i found for Good and Bad endings, only a single late Ch.5 mission choice dictates your ending

i dont consider fires of raven a bad ending personally. also, i intercepted the redguns but sided with carla and got fires of raven. so you dont need to side with balam to get it. pretty sure the only choice that affects things is outside of the ng++ stuff is whether you side with ayre or carla at the end

So I guess only the choices in chapter 5 are what really matter for the first 2 playthroughs? 'Cause I'm going for the bad ending first but I eliminated the Redguns...

eliminate enforcement squads and destroy special forces craft doesnt seem to have a bearing on the ending

The "good" and "bad" endings in the first 2 playthroughs do not depend on choices. Stop pushing this misinformation, I did nothing in the right order and still got to choose if I helped or destroyed the coral. The "true ending" is the one where choices matter.

@WaggishBean13 オタク I can also confirm what @Wah! says. If you accept the offer in chapter 1 - Attack Dam Complex, you can still have the good ending. Done it while streaming the game.

@Wah! that might be the case, but i refused the offer and i also got Good ending

nah you don't. I've done ng+ blindly and accept the offer rather than refuse and it still gives me the option to do the "Good" ending at the last chapter

So if we didn't refuse chapter 1 choice in NG+ does that means we have to redo the entire playthrough for the good ending D:
