I'm playing the remake of the game that preceded the masterpiece NieR: Automata. That of course is the "update" to NieR: Replicant. After that I plan on playing Persona 5 Scramble/Strikers.
@Kidfunkadelic83, you have my condolences. I can relate as I lost my father last year between Thanksgiving (US) and Xmas. It's hard but, we must endure. I don't think our lives will ever be the same but, we can grow and learn from even our losses. Anyway, as far as the game goes, I'm in the played through Automata but, never played NieR 1 group. I'd say people who are in this group will like Replicant better if they keep in mind that this is an update to a 2010 and not a full Final Fantasy VII like remake. However, it's considerably better looking and from what I've heard playing game. It's best to just get the 9 swords before the time skip to ensure you get all of the endings and skip the fetch quests that you can. Automata's were worth playing through but, not most of these. The music is quite good but, too repetitive (instead of 46 full and distinct songs, it sounds more like 15 songs that just have multiple variations) to be considered better than Automata. The story is good but, I'd give the edge to the sequel. It's worth buying in my opinion. I would like to clarify a couple of misconceptions that have turned off a lot of people when it comes to buying or going past the first "ending". The A to E endings are more like ends to chapters than endings of the game. So, this means that the multiple playthroughs are more like chapters from a different perspective and/or reveal a lot of new content. At least that's how it was on Automata and I could be wrong, what I expect on Replicant. This isn't up to the Automata masterpiece level but, is worth playing.
