Is it more like Automata w/ regards to gameplay? I'm definitely on the outside of the story/series but the gameplay was fun enough to keep me hooked to see it through to the ends.

Yeah the gameplay feels similar good enough to keep you hooked. The game itself is a bit more fetch questy

I wish it was the version that ended up being ported to the US.

The protagonist didn't look nearly as lame and the story is a bit more touching with it being about his daughter rather than his sister.

Got all the original endings working towards the new content now

After you get ending D and delete your save once you start over and reach a certain point the game spins off dramatically

Just got ending B. Definitely a great game. I think I enjoy Automata more because it basically addresses any nitpick I have with this one (grindy RNG loot for quests, improved fast travel system), but I'd still recommend this one. Part of me wishes I had played Replicant first. Because I had played Automata first I kinda already had an inkling of the "twist" at the end. Gonna probably wrap up C and D tonight, and if I have time, E. If not, I'll do E in the morning and move onto Resident Evil Village.

Yes in the Forest of Myth

I've also been playing this game a ton after I pre-ordered it. I have almost 50 hrs in it.
Getting pink seeds is a huge fucking pain in the ass. This has got to be the most annoying sidequest in the entire game, and I need 10 of them. -_-

Completely agree. NierMAN is one of my favorite protagonists. I also find his story a lot more compelling, only the timeskip makes a little less sense for nierman. VA was extremely memorable and so was the character, and it made a lot more sense in the context of the story with him helping out the town, IMO.

I was already turned off Automata by having a girl with floaty weeaboo swords as the protagonist. I will probably not play Nier remake because I don't want to play as Nierboy.

Just got endings C and D. Route C was way quicker than I anticipated. Probably because I started skipping some cutscenes I had seen twice already. Gonna definitely wrap up with Ending E tonight then.

Tbh, I wasn't a fan of the text segments. I'm playing video games to get away from my recent reading binge lol. Though, they did kinda put me to sleep which fits in with them being dream segments I guess.

And fuck the pink seed side quest. I did every single side quest in the game, even went above and beyond with the fishing and got the trophy there, except this one. Fuck cross breeding flowers. I'm not Mendel. And apparently if you want the Lunar Tear and trophy, you've got to go even beyond pink. No thanks.

Honestly I found fishing pretty fun, though I have a feeling my Xbox controller stick had years taken off it's life because of it.

Fishing was the only sort of item grind I didn't find tedious because it was simple and easy. Could just farm in one spot. Plus none of the fish requirements were insane. I had more trouble farming one memory alloy for that jackass near the pigs than any of the fishing. And some of the more tricky fish were pretty fun.

Ending E was a bit tedious to get to with all the repetition (at least it was nowhere near as bad as Bravely Default), but was by far the best portion of the game. Probably benefited from being designed after Automata and added specially for this game, because it is the best designed segment in the whole game. Only complaint is once you get to the E content, it's over in a flash.

Overall a very solid game. I like Automata more, but would still easily consider this one worth playing.
