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.

NIER had much better voice acting than FFX and more competent writing, FFX's love story makes George Lucas' love stories look good. Nier most probably didn't even have 1/10th of the budget FFX got for itself, your doing unfair comparisons. Anyway Final Fantasy X was pretty mediocre in my opinion, Final Fantasy IX was the last great FF game.

Funny enough I found IX to be the weakest out of the VII-X bunch and NIER'S voice acting is close to non existant with what I've experienced so far. You only really hear dialogue when talking with the book and your daughter. All other Npc interactions have been text except for the chick in the libary which is a mixture of the two.

Can't say I dislike the game. I'm finding the story interesting even though the gameplay, graphics and execution is extremely medicore. That's all mainstream reviewers of today look at now I guess.
