Not giving it an actual minus for Father Nier but I think it's slightly revolting that a change happened like this just out of the thought that westerners need to be catered to. And I'm not blaming the devs, especially since there is a meme aspect to it with Yoko Taro having funky ideas, but just a sad reminder of the perceiption of JRPG/Japanese games and content in the west and also how this is perceived in japan, leading to the decline of a lot of JRPGs later.
Great characters, story, setting, variety in storytelling, fun sidequesting (for me), farming, fishing, great atmosphere and music. I picked this up on a whim back then when I was frustrated with the state of the games, especially JRPGs on the PS3 and this instantly became not only my favorite on that console but in general.
