Nier or Final Fantasy XV?

[cardboard]

I was wondering which one I should get, from the opinions of people who have played the game. Also, is Nier a hard game?

2 completely different game. i've only played the demo of FFXV but in my opinion, i'd get Nier first since it's on sale.

Personally I never buy games on release day because I do not know any problems it might run into. I usually wait a while when others make reviews on the issues, system ports things like that.

Nier is not a hard game but you can make it really hard

Only got $50 to spend on a game right now, and I've had final fantasy on my list for a while, but with the sale of NieR, it kind of puts a wrench in my works.

Oo that being said though, FFXV is much more optimized game than nier

[Heads will roll]

I'm a fan of final fantasy xv, but this game surprised me. NierAutomata my option

With the current price I will say Nier Automata. with it's long playtime due to the different ending available, it's totally worth it with the current price

Nier has a better story, more enjoyable gameplay, but is less optimize you will stutter and see popins right in front of you and there's nothing you can do about it. FFV is more optimize, beautiful world, but more generic story with the bigggest bro I got you ending ever. You will love them 3 guys at the end. Both are fantastic you can't go wrong. Nier is easy on normal difficulty and below so you can adjust base on how much you are struggling. IMO get Nier just because its cheaper and you seem to be on a budget.

I say both but i'm waiting on FFXV myself so i say just get Nier Automata for now I just picked it over the weekend sale they had with a few other games also

Nier is a good game, but not very good. Until the first ending everything is fine. After that the story takes a sharp nosedive.


Playthrough B with 9S you just play through the whole game again, without any sidequests, you solved before.

Playthrough C is different, the parts where you play the revenge rampage of 9S are just 3 very small dungeons. You get small cutscenes before bosses, that explain those bosses motivation. But unfortunately those scenes have nothing to do with the main story. You are not really enriched by seeing them. The end game in all playthroughs explains more about the game world.


Everything after ending A is very disappointing. The author of the story focuses too much on tragedy. Are you sad yet. He kills off everyone you get to know in the game. Literally everyone.

It is a good game. The combat is too easy if you use ranged combat. On normal difficulty it is braindead easy if your character is overleveld. Nier is hurt by the RPG mechanics, it would have been a much better pure action game i think. If your level is slightly higher then your enemies they do not hurt you at all anymore but still give a ton of xp and loot. Balance problem on normal. On hard the game is okay. If you use ranged combat it is still too easy. Very hard is insane: Everything can kill you in one hit.

The combat is fast and fun though.

The open world is rather small and focused. Not bad in my book. There are no collectibles in the world.

The quests are quite variet and not all Fetch A bring to B. All Quests are interesting, the tragedy part is very strong in the quest story too.

I think you would get more quantity in Final Fantasy 15, then in Nier.

Nier is a fantastic ride, even with the flaws i mentioned. Both are good i suppose?

Have fun.

no begging

I played the FF demo and I must say combat here is better and more fun. + game has some WTF moments

[BLKJGR]

Nier has a FF weapon bonus so you can use that and pretend it’s FF

I can't really bring myself to play a game where my "character party" looks like an anime boy band made up of Bieber derivatives. Just can't do it.

But that's moot. I won't buy Nier:A because the slimey devs can't be bothered to patch the game. I can't imagine FFXV will get patches it'll need. Not a company I want to throw money at.

I own many games and I'm patient - if I ever buy either it'll be when they're on sale for $10 or less.
