"NieR Automata gets a new fan HD Texture Pack that is over 1GB in size, overhauling lots of textures"
The game really needed this.
Square Enix / Platinum Games really should put in some effort.

I think Platinum is the kind of company that would like to improve the performance and graphics of NieR, but they can't really afford it without S-E paying them to do it.

After all, they're not charity and they need someone that pays the expenses related to work on an already released game.

Have you seen the textures in the game.
It looks like they just took the PS4 textures (they look pretty bad for a PS4 too), and slapped them in the PC version.
Platinum should have been mastering the game's textures at a much higher resolution / quality.
High res assets should be sitting on a hard drive, in their office.
If higher res assets don't exist, then it is incompetence.

Assuming the higher res textures do exist, Square Enix is most likely at fault.
