Please it is badgenome-san.....not genome

anyway no I haven't played ROF because its still too expensive in the stores and I don't prefer to buy games USED....so waiting for its original copy to be cheaper.

Nier's battle system is similar to KH the most, its kind of like a hack n slash with cool magic. NOTHING like Crisis Core! And nothing AT ALL like Dirge Of Cerberus.

NIER has swearing and is really funny in part.....its a very maturely well written game!

Do yourself a favor and go get it >_>;

I'm not sure, almost every reviewer and person I asked who played it has said it really has no story, thats a major minus for me. 

You should get NIER though, its user reviews are better than ROF's anyway. 

Well it is true to some extent. Resonance of Fate's story is practically non-existant. The game has an overarching plot about some religious priest trying to reestablish his faith since he knows the true God, or something like that. However, only like 3 chapters are revelant to this plot, with two of those being the last chapters. The rest of the chapters are just random tasks or jobs, that are irrevelant to the plot. It's just one job after another with no proper connection, and a lot of the flashback cutscenes are vague. The ending is a huge wtf.

Also, the game is very repetitive, hence my petname, Repetitive of Fate. Around the 10 hour mark to the end of the game (and afterwards, since I platinumed the game), I used the same strategy over and over again, and it worked. I was able to beat every battle using the same moves, excluding the final boss.

OT: I would recommend NieR. The game has a nice sense of humor, enchanting music, and some of the best boss fights I've witnessed this gen.
