Nier Automata's achievement shop ---- opinions? [story spoilers!]

[Soulkey]

For those who doesn't know, because they haven't unlocked the shop or haven't played the game yet, here is the short rundown.

Upon finishing the game 3 times and getting the true ending (30-40 hours), one of the NPC opens up her little business, which is an in-game achievement shop. (lol)

Any not story related achievement can be unlocked for in-game currency.

What are your thoughts on that?
Have you used it or would you use it?

Omg, that's just ridiculous!
If i played - i'd never buy achievements.

It's not really that different than buying achievement spam games.

Nier is not a 10minute to 1 hour shovelware, though.

I have Neir: Automata on PS4, and I knew about this from the start. It'll really help cut down the time to get all the trophies, but, you have to wonder, why was this added to the game? It really does ruin it for others who actually want to get the achievements without it, knowing that many others just used the shop.

From what I understand the achievement shop is some sort of meta joke on achievement hunting. The flavour text in the shop and the NPC dialogues on it are rather sarcastic too.

I finished the game today with 60 hours.
To be honest, NieR is one of those games that really deserves the time invested in it.

You can wrap up the game in 30 hours if you rush, then grind money to buy achievements, but it's rather tedious and simply not fun.
Or you could play the game and enjoy the story. For me it was quite an obvious choice.

Novus Inceptio does the same, but it's only to get time related achievements like "Play while in early access", "blabla on haloween" etc, those achievements cannot be meet for everyone and i like the concept.

For Nier i cannot say, i think all depends on which achievements are available to ingame currency

This is not a bad idea, at least when not for real money :D
