I have seen 99% of what this game has to offer. Recollections of Dusk, EX Stories, Hidden Stories, Event Stories, Weapon Stories, Costume Stories, and obviously Main Story, i am honestly blown away with how Yoko Taro does it. He never ever misses
If someone told me this is their favorite DrakeNieR game i would not be surprised in the least and likewise if someone told me 10H is their favorite DrakeNieR characters (or many others honestly there are many spectacular characters) i would not be surprised in the least
do not know where to begin talking about this game honestly nothing i say will grant it enough credit for what it is but i will try my best to talk about my personal thoughts and experiences with it and touch on my favorite parts/aspects of it
i think what i appreciated the most about this game is how its not just a solid continuation of the series but also fills in so many gaps in the series you never thought existed. it made everything much more cohesive and retold the whole timeline in a many genius ways
covered everything in the whole series from drakengard 1 all the way to here. i honestly cannot do it justice for what it did you just have to see for yourself how unbelievably good it was all connected and filled the gaps in between
an incredible and much needed installment/continuation to the series this is honestly one of the best things a DrakeNieR fan could ask for 'narrative and lore wise'. this is easily the most lore heavy game in the series imo and thats saying A LOT
No matter what your favorite game in the series is Reincarnation will blow your mind in many ways, be it amazing references or explanations or music or designs it has everything. what it lacks in gameplay it compensated in EVERYTHING else
although the ending felt rushed (and that's because it was due to the sudden EOS i believe) it wasn't the most satisfying thing out there but i still very dearly love this game and love what it did for the series lore wise.
the usual Yoko Taro Writing. amazing twists and reveals and incredible meta and wall breaks. something this game made me realize is the amazing color coding in every game and what they all stand for. this is honestly too big of a subject for me but i would like to point out some things. the most prominent colors and what each one means. red and white and black
red pods, red dragon, red girl, red administrator
white hair, flowers, armor, clones.
black book, song, scrawl. i cannot explain it but they all stand for something
and the color coding was used in a genius way in this game. this is just one of many things i appreciated in this game besides the usual which is a given. Art, designs, obviously narraive and character. what wasn't good imo are just the format and gameplay.
and it is what deters people from this game (unfortunately) although i would understand the argument of it being the best i also understand that it's not for everyone. which saddens me because soon enough this will be lost media and stay underappreciated as always.
if it gets a rerelease in a different format or an offline version and ports i really do think this can do numbers. alas i cannot show enough love to hundreds of hours of content in a thread with a few tweets it'll never be enough.
Thank you Yoko Taro for saving me once again

what can I say they ended it really damn strong. it finally felt connected to the rest of the universe and by the end I was crying for Levania

This final arc of NieR Re[in]carnation is without a doubt the best part of the game. Every arc before this was just planting the seeds and after years of buildup I'm happy to say that they were able to bring it together and conclude this experience in a satisfying & surprising way.

This entire chapter was filled with plottwists & crazy moments at every turn and it was incredible to finally get answers to so many questions. Not just questions from NieR Re[in]carnation but from all of NieR and even Drakengard, as this game directly ties together everything that came before while also laying a foundation for what comes next and dropping some massive lore bombs along the way. But while it did a lot of heavy lifting for the greater story of this universe, it also manages to bring a satisfying conclusion on a more personal level to every character that we met throughout our journey through the Cage. All of them get their time to shine here.

The only thing holding this back is ofcourse the gameplay and the fact that it is a mobile gacha game which will soon be gone forever... I really hope that they preserve this experience in some way because it definitely deserves it and its importance to the world of NieR can't be understated.

Love it or hate it, this is NieR 3. And while I used to be on the hate side, I'm glad that I decided to check it out regardless because as a fan of the series this was a joy to experience

Viva e abrace sua humanidade. um fechamento singelo e emocional não só para Reincarnation como para a trilogia Nier, o jogo se apropria do seu proprio destino em se tornar lost media, para conversar sobre o que realmente torna esses personagens e essa historia algo especial, mesmo com seu fim prematuro. Estaremos contigo, voce não vai ficar sozinho.

Remarkable end for all these character's stories (including fixing one that felt very troupe-y in the bad sorta way imo), and how it managed to tie itself together with Automata and Replicant was excellent. Gameplay be damned, this still got me teary eyed at the end.

Now going to hold my NieR playing friends at gunpoint for the next month to make sure they play the true NieR 3 before its gone forever.
