I just got it recently actully, i got about 1/3 of the way through, but i havent played it in a while because i'm busy with other stuff. its an okay game imo, its good if you just play it and dont bother item collecting or quests, thus playing on easy is advised because all the hard and normal modes do is make battles last longer (i think) and its long enough tbh.

i didnt get that far, so probabily not the best person to comment, but personally i think its a good, linear based action RPG, but you might not like it if you dont have much time on your hands.



Just bought it last night and was about to finally start playing it but now I have to go food shopping.

Can't wait to get home. I will probably spend the entire day with it.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Bought this week ago. Cost 12€. =D Probably going to start today. Just finished Star Ocean 4 so I have good JRPG streak going. =P



I have a lot of JRPGs to get this gen. The reviewers haven't been very friendly with the Japanese this gen. Except for MGS4 (which they still only gave an average of 93.56%) and Street Fighter.

Absolutely FANTASTIC thread!

NIER is my surprise of the generation along with Yakuza 3......2 games I thought I wouldn't like I loved.

NIER's soundtrack like you said is shockingly amazing....it really makes feelings come out from you!

The story is decent, it does have tear jerker moments and the writing is very very good for a JRPG.

The amount of gameplay variety is so so good....its almost like an open world from the start, tons of side quests, tons of minigames, tons of time to spend. The overworld music is fabulous

Battle system is your regular ARPG affair.....the magic attacks you make can be pretty cool effects and range wise.

Overall I give NIER a 9/10

People are missing out on this hidden gem!


i pretty much agree with this. Expeshaly yakuza 3 O_O that took me waaay of surprise. neir in my opinion was a 7 or 8 out of 10 but i got it for £8 so i was happy with it XD



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

Just a warning. The beginning is a little akward. At first I was like "eh wtf is this" then it went away and I started to love it.
