**** it man, I'll explain to you why Nier Automata is one of the best games of this gen and you know what? I'd say it's Square Enix's best game in since the PS2 era. And this is coming from someone who loves The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy XV.
One of the best soundtracks created.
Great cast of characters.
Destroys the fourth wall like it was nothing and has things that are pretty ****ed up in the game, yet somehow manages to keep the game flowing.
Yoko Taro is a gift from the Gods to share his bat**** insanity of ideas with mankind. If Square was smart, he'd be Director for Final Fantasy XVI. And admittedly I'm cautious about the FFVII Remake because the guy who messed up the series is co-directing. Also the guy wears a mask and does stupid stuff like
cause why the hell not.
Story that touches on pretty serious stuff like government, humanity, life and death.
Akihiko Yoshida's artwork on the game is amazing and I have it hanging up on my wall.
Gameplay that messes up genres on a dime and yet works. Oh and the lead designer on the game became the director of Astral Chain.
Need I say more?
