Is this game really that good?

[HighLordRot]

I don't know if I should buy this game FFVII or Nier Replicant, please tell me the pros and cons

I assume FF7 refers to the remake so I will base this of that if you mean the og correct me.


All 3 games have very good reviews a big fan base you are really asking a difficult question here espically since they are also all so different


Tales Of Arise has great characters but not so great story that starts basic and ok but gets turned into a bit of a mess. Combat is nothing special but is still good. Does have new game + and many difficultly options.


If you love Final Fantasy and have played the orginal FF7 (or anything from the ff7 universe) then I'd say FF7 remake based of that alone. Though be warned FF7 is in 3 parts + you have the og + a film and like 4 other games so hard to get the whole story. Tales of Arise is one game so easier to understand. It is also more linear Tales of Arise is also Linear but FF7 feels more on tracks if you know what I mean. Combat again is good and has a few options to make it more accessible for your tastes. Game may trigger you if you have played the 1997 one though







Never played any Neir game so cant say much for that

Why not all of them? They all good.

[Senex - "Jesus loves you"]

It is one of my favorite games. I played about 80 hours and worked to get most achievements. Get it when it goes on sale.

Story wise it is

I hate when people ask this kind of question without context. What kind of stuff do you like? What I consider a pro, you might consider a con, so I need to know first.

[Quarren King of Q]

yes tales of games are good

[Lyff]

It's far better than the crap is FF7R. However it's still a Tales game.

They all are good games and you will throughly enjoy it , so then what to start with first - well it depends upon what you like
FF7 -remake- Good storyline ,Briliiant combat, high PC requirements ( it is heavy on processor ) to run smoothly , and it costs more than Elden RIng even after discount ,
Tales of arise - Descent story line (some quests are fine and funny while others just plain boring) , brilliant combat , Works good on medium range PC , On discount it is almost one third the price of FF7 Remake (Discounted) on steam.
Neir Relpicant- To be honest neir series stroyline feels like good and bad at the same time to me , i don't find and salvation in the story it just feels sad , works good in mediunm range PC , i enjoyed automata more than this one .
In conclusion if you already have an high end PC and Money is not much of your concern , i would go for ff7 remake else Tales of arise all the way ( most flashy combat )

Nier is garbage. Actual garbage.

[HighLordRot]

I am already playing it, the storty feels good but the menus are not the best.
But I give a ♥♥♥♥ cause the menus of monster hunter and the souls series are worst and those games are my favourites.

About the level system, it is quite better than FFXIII but also feels like a corridor

[Lyff]

Make sure you play on "Unknow" difficulty otherwise it's almost non-existent difficulty, also you can download a mod to make the difficulty harder.

It's honestly kinda weird to me how Nier/Replicant is having a revival. I mean, I guess it had some cool ideas, but I found it too tedious to finish.

[Tenjou]

I almost refunded this game. But I'm glad I didn't. The music and most of the beginning low-level animations made the game feel generic and stiff, So I figured this game was a cheap cash-grab.

But overall the game gets much better after the second big boss. Putting it on unknown difficulty really makes you consider your choices and makes the game feel more fleshed out and realistic. For example, if you take a gigantic axe to the face, you are probably going to die. That and it makes you bond more with the characters via the campfire scenes, because you will need to rest often on this difficulty.

This being said, I think the combat and highly-involved and dramatic battle system is the selling point of this game. The story is just along for the ride.
