What an experience this game was! I was super excited to play this after finishing NieR Automata and immediately bought it. Took a while to arrive but once I was able to immerse myself in this world again I was absolutely amazed.
My first steps in this game and I stood around an hour just listening to Devola sing Song of the Ancients. Then spent another 30 mins in the Northern Plains just looking at the beauty of this game.
I felt so many emotions playing through this game. The story was amazing although after playing through it so many times, it can get a bit too repititive considering you can't skip whatever you've already seen. it does give you an opportunity to get stronger and farm for some materials and upgrade your weapons though but it makes the pacing a bit... rough.
I much prefered NieR Replicant's gameplay for sure. Being able to target the enemies and the movement was just in general much better to me. I also much prefered the more "medieval" feel of Replicant and also got quite more attached to Nier as a character than Automata's characters even if I loved them a lot, no one compares to the sweet boy that is Nier! (without forgetting his absolutely peak design)
The game is a bit hard to navigate without help, that is one thing for sure, but that is just Yoko Taro games I guess.
I loved the story, the characters, the worldbuilding and obviously the music. It's crazy how you get attached to some side characters that aren't too important to the story, especially after playing through the second part at least 3 times. I think my favourite place was always Facade because I really enjoyed the King's character. But then again I enjoyed Seafront although it's hard to appreciate it after the boat part, but especially after knowing Nier's backstory. I also love how they introduce different things in the game, when I did my first ending, I was always not expecting whatever was going to happen, loved the "unpredictableness" of it. As for the music, I really enjoyed it, no matter how many times I heard it. my favourite one will always be Song of the Ancients, I love when Devola sings it or both her and Popola and it hits harder in the ending during that one fight. I was also quite a fan of Blu-bird and obviouisly Kainé and Emil's themes.
Definitely trying to go for the platinum since it seems doable.
ps: I want to marry Nier.
ps again: yonah is so pretty...
