Not being able to play as your party members.
Since this game doesn't have a character creation I thought there will be a good chance to play as the other members of your party or being able to switch characters in battle.
As time goes by I realized that it's not going to happen. The devs go for this chosen one main character which can use his/her allies' abilities which made him/her pretty op so there's no point to use the other members. Being able to switch characters in battle would be great tho.

Anyway this is my only nitpicky negative point about this game and still pretty bummed out about it, the rest I saw are great.
Am I going to buy it? Yes but I still want to see the reviews just to be sure.

The media preview talks about two seperate campaigns, not sure if those were only for the media, or if you can pick them before you start and as you play the game.

But i gotta agree it always feels like a big wasted opportunity to run around with a full party and not being able to switch and play as them at some point at the very least.

Not sure why you think OP didn't know this already, they clearly did.
But i gotta agree it always feels like a big wasted opportunity to run around with a full party and not being able to switch and play as them at some point at the very least.
I think that's more of a minority preference. The majority of Jrpg/arpg players don't care about it. I gotta wonder if you complained about not being able to play as Kainé and Emil in Nier Replicant (my bet is you didn't).

And I don't think OP sees it as a mixed opportunity, maybe just more of a "Why?" than anything and I'll explain it to them.

I really loved Code Vein's character creation, Bamco definitely made one of the best character creators there, but I'm glad they went a different route here. Concrete characters always provide players with a more solid story/universe.

As far as the party systems, it is based off/inspired of Code Veins "borrow" system but at the same time, a little different. The borrow system in Nexus is weaved into the story but the gifting/bonding system remains the same as Code Vein - where you can give party members items you find and after building enough favor, you can get rare items or upgrades in return.

In battle, I love what they did with the animations when you borrow powers, inexperienced gamers will probably see these animations as breaks but 2D anime fighter fans will instantly recognize these animations.

First of all stop following me into every thread on this subforum like a damn stalker.
Second i sure did, just becasue i never posted it on this sub doesn't mean i do not get annoyed with exactly this stuff. I'm not a fanboy in desperate need to defend "my game" against any critisim, like you come across as. I do see and hate falws i find in games i like ;-) Maybe try thinking like that sometime, just an idea.

You were btw the one talking ♥♥♥♥ about the newer Ys games and now i know you never played any of them or tokyo xanadu for that matter. These games have party systems and they work great, tokyo xanadu's system allowed you to switch out elements very early on, that is a plus against Ys VIII, btw. In general i do not give a ♥♥♥♥ if it apeals to the majority or minotrity. It is a gameplay feature that could be implemented in every jrpg with a partysystem and in my opinion it should, period.

And again stop talking like you are some unpaid bamco pr rep, that is just sad.

Yup, sure thing. Especially since I was in this forum long before you but I like how you write this before responding to the thread I created, proving how much of a creep and troll you are. And picking this thread to make such a claim when you responded to me on various threads? *cough cough*

But you do, every time someone compares Scarlet Nexus to Nier Automata, you feel obligated to defend Nier Automata. This has been seen many times.

Joke's on you, I have all the Ys games in my Steam library and on console. You probably never even played the original Ys games lol So who's talking ♥♥♥♥? I think you're full of ♥♥♥♥... Just because I disagree with you, I suddenly magically never played Ys or Platinum games? lmao
And again stop talking like you are some unpaid bamco pr rep, that is just sad.
Sure thing, from Stalker to ♥♥♥♥ talker to Bamco rep. Your schizo mind can make itself up, eh? You're probably a flat earther who can't tell whats left from right. What was the point of your comment again? To insult me with petty annoying superiority?

Are we really gonna do this? You assume ♥♥♥♥ for the short time we interacted on this sub about me, i tell you that much.

I only took what you posted at face value until i got confirmation of you not being able to destingish between, game genre or even how combat systems work. You go around claming bamco compared this game to nier, all the while the only things i found was you and game journos on youtube making this comparison. I never bought that claim becasue you made it and you were not able to substanciate it a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time.

You came across and still do like you are ♥♥♥♥ talking a hell of a lot of games, while at the same time being unable to even give examples that fall into the same type as this game. Which in turn makes you look like you didn't play any of the games you talk about, call that a pro tip and have it for free, my dude ;-)

It's great if you think you simping longer for bamco is something to be proud of, but i tell you a little secret it is the exact opposite.

I am on this sub to get info about a product i will or will not pay money for in the immediate future. I also posted into this thread becasue i love party systems in games.
And yup i do like NieR and Ys VIII specifically, so sue me lol

I even liked Ys Origin and Oath in Felgahna, less so Ark, hell i even give you the confirmation that i did indeed never played a bump combat Ys game, i do own Ys I and II chronicles, though. So if it makes you feel better i let you have the longtime Ys-fan award. I would still be interested to talk about the party system in the Ys games Ys Seven onward. Becasue to be real with you i saw folks on the net talking crap about that system before, but besides it is diffrent and special attacks are abuseable i never really saw much else. Give you the special attacks, though. Not even a question about that.

What i do however still fault you for is not being able to talk about the details like gameplay systems when me or other folks coming here for the same reasons like i do to want to get some substantial info to make an informed purchase desicion. And also resorting to low blow personal attacks, when you get called out for your irrational attachment to bamco.

Yeah, nobody likes when the shoe is on the other foot. I've only returned the same respect you've given me.

Except for the fact that we've caught you lying on multiple occasions, one of those being when you claimed I said "review" and wrote an essay about how I couldn't tell the difference of a review and preview, so excuse me when I call you out by saying you're full of ♥♥♥♥ lol

And just because you don't like the fact that Nier Automata isn't the genre you thought it was, doesn't mean I can't tell my game genres... Nice one though.
You go around claming bamco compared this game to nier, all the while the only things i found was you and game journos on youtube making this comparison. I never bought that claim becasue you made it and you were not able to substanciate it a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time.
Because they did. They said in the interview that they wanted to create a Nier type game ever since 2B was featured in Bamco'd Soul Calibur 6, but you wouldn't know that since you're somewhat new to the Nier universe and hate Bamco.

Strange since I am constantly proving you wrong, like I just did. And yeah, I do know alot of things about games you don't, but why are you so jealous of that fact?
It's great if you think you simping longer for bamco is something to be proud of, but i tell you a little secret it is the exact opposite.
Not sure what you mean by that, I'm guessing something alomg the lines of me feeling hagecto defend something that doesn't need defending? Bamco isn't my favorite studio but you tend to lap up the milk of Nier Automata without even knowing too much about it. And then you get offebded when people observe that Bamco loved Nier Automata. Why?
I am on this sub to get info about a product i will or will not pay money for in the immediate future. I also posted into this thread becasue i love party systems in games.
Not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic. Most comments from you are trolling comments "Brain map is stupid" "Missed opportunit""Wait for a sale, buy Ys", etc... Seems like you've already made up your mind.
And yup i do like NieR and Ys VIII specifically, so sue me lol
So do I, in facty screens of those games are much nicer than yours hence the likes they've garnered so not sure why you're acting as if I've never played the games or owned them when I did way before you?
Hey i even liked Ys Origin and Oath in Felgahna, less so Ark, hell i even give you the confirmation that i did indeed never play a bump combat Ys game, i do own Ys I and II chronicles, though.

Give you the special attacks, though. Not even a question about that.
I'm a long time Ys fan abd can't stand what they've done to the systems as the games have devolved. The difference is that I have no problem talking about those games faults or comparimg systems.
What i do however still fault you for is not being able to talk about the details like gameplay systems when me or other folks coming here for the same reason like i do want to get some substantial info to make an informed purchase desicion. And also resorting to low blow personal attacks, when you get called out for your irrational attachment to bamco.
Not sure what you're talking about. You never once wanted to talk about the games combats, stories or systems, you are following me and remaining on my thread makimg accusations and snide comments.

And when I question you, you always seem to avoid the questions and throw more insults. It's not that I have an irrational attachment to Bamco, just making an observation that you're bs is just that... a lot of bs. Have a good one mate, when you actually wanna talk about the game, I'll be here!

I just pick out single or at most two points form now own, becasue i'm honestly tired of this useless back and forth at this point.

I do not give a ♥♥♥♥ about cross-promo stuff why should it? Hell while we are at it am i supposed to care about geralt in SC 6 all of a sudden too, just becasue TW 3 was my GOTY at some point. You think getting hung up on a single company like you apparently am at this point is healthy? I just do not even know what to say if you think this way.

Back to the topic at hand.
So how about linking to that source instead of just claiming it over and over again and not backing up your claim? Like you do all the damn time since really the first posts we exchanged in this sub. If you had done that from the start you would't have been put into the category you were put in very quickly.

I do not hate any publisher, maybe with the exception of koei tecmo, because they are just a lazy as ♥♥♥♥ with pretty much all their pc ports for many years at this point. But i also do not have such a strange attachment to a publisher like you do. You might wanna take a look at my profile i'm sure you will be able to spot quite a few bamco games there, fyi. ;)

Anyway.. TLDR
Back up your claims, know how and what to argue in the future and stop ♥♥♥♥ talking things if you are not able to make points without backing up that ♥♥♥♥ talk. If you do that i will try my best to interact with you on this sub as civilized as well.

Edit: You wanting something akin to a review form a preview post is btw not a lie, but oh well i do not even care what kind of tantrum's you throw around a this point anymore, so have at it. You will just get ignored if it happens again. That is for sure.

Edit: You still come at me with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ "internet fame aruments" like more likes to your screenshots? I do not care how long or how much you played game XYZ, what i do care about is how you make your points either pro or against those games, ffs. Also did i read that correct? Thinking trowing in stupid crap like that somehow makes your nonsequiters more valid. How old are you man, can you just stop this ♥♥♥♥?! And for the love of god learn how to argue and give useful info about "a game you know so much about" according to yourself and try to not be a biased fanboy while you are at it. That would be great. How damn hard can it be not to have to trow around ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like that with every single post over and over again?!
Also about lying look at the very first i made oin that sub and tell me i was not asking you about the combat in this game, again. Holy ♥♥♥♥...

Not sure ehy you are spamming this comment when I literally linked you to an interview where they stated this themselves (Namco Bandai).

Just stop with the bs and we'll be good. It's as simple as that. Again, I can help if you're serious about asking for the info. That was just a perfect example how when someone provides you with proof, you ignore it. Amazing really.

Then you're not a true Nier fan but that's besudes thr poin. It proves that Bandai Namco loved Nier abd wanted to make a game heavily influenced by Nier, an answer to Squenix, a love letter.
Back to the topic at hand.
Well, you asked so I provided.
So how about linking to that source instead of just claiming it over and over again and not backing up your claim? Like you do all the damn time since really the first posts we exchanged in this sub. If you had done that from the start you would't have been put into the category you were put in very quickly.
Alreasy provided it, watch the video link but I thought we were going back "on topic" smh... kids these days tsk tsk...

As you will find Nier and all Ys games on mine. The irony...
Anyway.. TLDR
I shouldn't have made those stupid accusations wnd put words in your mouth, I should have done my research and mayve found common ground with you instead of further derailing threads to feed my vendetta and end up looking like a dumbass.
^FIFY ;)

Never wanted that, have no idea why you seem hellbent on thinking that I want a review. I was simply pointing out that thr link you posted was from a clickbait article, the writer obviously didn't play the game. Never once mentioned "review", just questioned why he didn't share why he thought it was like monster hunter/god eater. Seems like he just wrote it knowing MH Rise was a hot topic..

Yeah i have a bad habit of going back re-reading things after i already posted something. You can ad that to the list of things you can sue me for, btw. Have fun :D

No for real, are you some kind of schizo? You posted that exact same thing in the other thread and told me i only am here to troll. Now that i post you the link to this first post of mine doing exactly what i told you i did do. You move the goalpost and deny you called me a liar. We might just end up getting banned both if this continues. Wow. You are indeed a special person. Just a wonderful friend i made on the net /s.
