It's finally catching up to the quality of their product, which has fallen by something like 9000%.

Actually their quality has fallen by at least 9001% percent, AT LEAST! 

 

I'd go as far as 18000%.

I bought Nier for £6 a few days ago and played it for about 4 hours. Straight away after I played Final Fantasy X on the PCSX2 PS2 emulator at 1080p native. (I use my OWN PS2 bios from my very own Ps2 PAL console and my own physical copy of Final Fantasy X so it's perfectly legal), just to clear that up.

I have to say FFX looks better and it came out almost 10 years ago. Everything is superior, art style and the imagination that went into the art style, voice acting, gameplay, controls, features etc etc.

Obviously things like texture resolution are higher in Nier, you can't magically make Ps2 textures higher resolution with emulation.

Here's an example. Really need to visit the full resolution link to see. http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/1569/ffxr.png

Here's what it looks like playing at the native PS2 resolution straight to a 1080p screen. Looks even worse in motion with crazy flickering. http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/8207/failfd.png
