Amazing game. This game perfectly matched what I loved best about Automata, that being the Setting and OST. Adding on top of that a great story, fun gameplay and an amazing and super fun cast. Voice acting was great as well, more games need to make D.C. Douglas evil. And Popola? She went crazy. I played A/B, and watched the endings for the others. I'll come back to this when I have more time, but I just don't at the moment, other games and life stuff. Issues I had were route B gameplay felt kinda boring with a over powered Nier. Part of the reason I'm not racing to do C&D. But the third diary door was pretty tough and really fun. If B, C & D were like that I'd be much more interested. E looks really different and interesting, haven't looked much beyond the ending so I'll be going in fresh for most of that one. Other minor issues like with random loot drop quests and getting all the weapons was rough. Almost failed it. But otherwise it's really fun. Some amazing boss fights. Extra spoiler warning here. Especially Devola and Popola, really loved that fight. From the song changing in the mid phase, to Popola's VA going insane. Definitely my favorite in the game. I've read a bit of side content outside the game that's pretty great. Will read more later. Nier is a great MC, Kaine is awesome, really liked her stuff in B route. Emil is great too and Weiss is my beloved. I will come back to this game eventually, but for right now, minor grievances aside, it was amazing.
