Hidden Gem among Square Enix games
This is definitely not your classic Square Enix turn-based game nor is it your more so family-friendly action RPG like Star oceans no this game is more akin to the original series drakengard back in the days of old but is that a bad thing absolutely not this game has replay value multiple endings a great combat system tons and tons of sidequest and much more to offer. The gameplay is challenging yet rewarding and the story is riveting all the way from beginning to end

Nier
Its a great game that focuses alot more on its unique approach to its story, and its oddly characterized but compelling characters. The disc came in perfect condition, the case was slightly worn but overall it is a great product that shipped fast. Thanks

Good Graphics, Amazing Designs
It might not look great and combat is a bit clunky at times, but the designs in this game are amazing. The graphics are a bit lacking and the gameplay is slower than most may be used to. Once I got past those minor gripes, I found a very charming game with a strong attention to detail. Combine that with the great characters and the mystery that slowly starts building up and you have a incredibly engaging game.
