Hmm...I'm seriously thinking of finding a cheap copy of this game...the more I hear, the more interesting it sounds.

Edit: BTW, the soundtrack is freaking amazing. That said, I can't stand vocals in any game OST (a few exceptions, though).

But listen to this:

I thought that one was alright, but I especially like this track.

I like the vocals because it is all pretty much gibberish.

I also remember the first time I walked out of town and was introduced to this. I was seriously like "WTF?"

I was pleasantly surprised with the music when roaming the field.

I love most of them, but my favourite track is the one from the Lost Shrine. It's so atmospheric and foreboding...

I think it's that but without the background sounds. The version you posted replaces the initial one later on, IIRC.

OK. So overall, what would you guys rate Nier from 1 to 10?

HEY!  I just checked Nier's metacritic and the game got like a 68% or something!  Is this some sort of joke?  I can't play it until everybody goes to bed (kid having a sleepover).

Critics abused it but the people who play it really enjoy it. The game got screwed critically. It doesn't have GoW3 graphics or combat so therefore = SUCK.

Yup. These days if a game doesn't have killer graphics it is automatically a below average title, even if everything else about it is fantastic.

Only graphics matter these days, not gameplay, story, characters or music.
