...and since he gave me rides to and from bus-stops on my trip to NYC, I bought him Nier (PS3). I remember the board talking about it a lot at one point...

So did I get him a good gift? I think you guys spoke highly of it, but it's hard to remember sometimes.

Its one of those games that hardcore JRPG fans like but casual fans hate. If hes a hardcore JRPG fan he'll probably enjoy it

He likes a lot of older Square-games and I saw Square Enix made it, so hopefully that lines up well enough. He also enjoys WRPGs though, so I think his taste for RPGs may have wide borders anyway.

Square Enix didn't make Nier, they just published it.

Nier is a good game with a great soundtrack. It's more of an action RPG rather than a traditional turn-based RPG, so if he's wanting something more traditional and turn-based, then...

Well, there's not a lot out there to choose from!

Remind him to follow the red X on the minimap when he gets stuck.

Oh...whoops.


So what does Nier best compare to then? GameFAQs is trying to recommend Demon's/Dark Souls on Nier's page, both of which which he really likes. I suspect those two games fall into that genre enough, though I've only seen a little of their gameplay.

And yeah, the soundtrack was the only detail from the game I could remember from past discussions.
