Small grievances with this remake aside, this is the definitive version of the game in my eyes. The new combat makes the whole experience less of a chore, and the additional ending, while not strictly necessary, was a treat to experience.

My only wish would be a few more options; the ability to switch to the OG renditions of the soundtrack would've been nice (though I don't fear any of the new arrangements are as bad as others think), and Dad Nier would've been a nice addition as well. Neither are big flaws to me, and I'd still recommend this version to both new and old fans alike.
