playing this. 2 hours in and its a mess, but possibly a glorious and rewarding mess. camera is kinda awful, but i guess i never realized that i wanted a rpg with crazy strafing fireball attacks before. gonna be pissed if i get stuck playing lots of farming sim bullshit tho.
graphics are sorta lolful much of the time, but then there will be moments where they are totally stunning, which is confusing to me.

just ignore the sidequests unless someone says "there's a big monster over there". ignore the farming & fishing ones for sure!

shocked to say this, but i am really liking the boss battles most of the time! and yeah its def got a sort of kitchen sink approach, but its keeping me going (fuckin fetch quests tho jesus), some really interesting environments and clever little moments. i figure im at the halfway point w/about 14 hours in so far. not bad for $20.

shame that the second half of the game is so easy. the spear thrust is brokenly powerful.

yeah when they rolled out the oh now u have 2 handed weapons and spears and all of the magic i was kinda thinking the diff curve was going to go way way down.

So the sequel's out now in JPSN and apparently fully translated into English. Now if only I wasn't halfway through Yakuza 0...

it's so different from the first game that no one revived this for it but sure

I am fine creating ILG threads that no one posts to: Nier Automata: may contain Loligoth robots, mechs, giant swords, and fishing
