Yes, once you recollect them. When you pick the records up again, they'll be shown as un-listened to in the gramaphone menu, and will give you humanity.

yay.... wasted time for an ingame hidden stat bound to story? if it's true (for my final NG+2 run) i'll write it down in my review.

you don’t strictly need to listen to any records for the good ending; even Golden Lie doesn’t require them. It’s also possible to autoplay them at the hotel while you’re upgrading equipment or quartz, testing weapons, making a sandwich or lifting dumbbells irl, etc…

The most valuable one is ‘Memory of Beach’ from Antonia, then the rest of the records are peanuts essentially, with the largest chunks of humanity almost always being from unmissable lie prompts and NPC sidestories. This also isn’t factoring in the DLC which has many chunks of its own, though I don’t know how much relatively speaking.

yeah, even without listening to any records, everyone has to wait until ng+ for "rise of p", at which point, everyone would've already reached "my heart is pounding" by the end of ng, whether they listened to any records or not, or if they did the dlc or not.

edit: ...unless the player didn't understand that lying and breaking p's "heart" gains humanity. if they choose all the wrong answers, then yeah, they might need to listen to the records to get to "heart-pounding" by the lux boss fight in ng+.

humanity isn't carried over between game cycles; likewise you can get the good ending on a fresh file

oh man, did the math. apparently the reason i didn't unlock rise of p on my first run was because i messed up the eugenie quest. looked at the list, hit every other thing on it.
yeah, you're right. been sitting on a clear file (waited to get/beat the dlc before hitting ng+).
too bad i didn't have the dlc when i originally beat the game, could've used the points to make up the ones i lost on messing up the aldoro stuff and got the "rise of p" ending.

edit: not a total waste though, did the nameless puppet mid-ending for the first run.
