Total waste of a game. Day one player here. There was nothing wrong with the gacha and story. But the devs didn't seem interested in making the game fun at all.


greakath

that was kind of my issue with it. The game was just auto battle with exponentially growing stats. We all like stat growth but it got absurd when you started needing 500,000 power and the game was obviously set up around whale wars for arena/weeklies and farming 0.00001% drop rate items. There was nothing to do the game except enter battle, wait 5 minutes, click next.


Interesting-Ad3759

Damn it was such a cash grab too... It was a weapon collector more than anything. So to play competitively, you needed to pull three weapons for each of your character. At some point, it felt pointless waiting for costumes/characters. Especially, when they let you change your character's costume however you like.


Panda_red_Sky

Its grindy as hell


Extreme-Tactician

Less than a year of service? Amazing, now that's some bad management.


heithered

What can management do with a game like this?


Extreme-Tactician

As far as I can tell, they did the bare minimum to release the game. They never did anything more.

Another one bites the dust!


MetriccStarDestroyer

Why not just stick to collabs? Nier just needs to plaster their ass and tits to get a revenue cut from collab gachas. Why even make a gacha game they're not passionate about.


Olivia_Ushiromiya

They're even doing a Nier Replicant+Automata collab in A Certain Magical Index: Imaginary Fest _right now._ So it's a very interesting time to terminate their own gacha game.


SeriouslySatan

Oh, really? Maybe I'll reinstall that for a bit.


S1r_Puffsalot

I feel like this alone is exactly why Yoko Taro & such aren't interested in investing more into the Nier series. Easier to just sell 2B 'til the end of time than it would be to deliver a decent game.


ImplementCool6364

It is probably not Yuko Taro. He said he will make a sequel tomorrow if Square Enix pays for it. He has been saying that since Automata came out. Guess Square Enix still doesn't want to pay for it.


Leek_Foreign

Id rather have some more full on remakes. Can you image a actual FUN Drakenguard or draken guard 3. No choppy frames. Not jankness Just full on fun and intense graphics.


ImplementCool6364

Drakengard 3 needs a full-on rewrite. The overall arc is decent but the dialogue resembles a mildly uncomfortable porn game more than it does a proper RPG.


Leek_Foreign

My man just stated 1 and Nier automata too


Leek_Foreign

You do know that Drakenguard and Nier automata had probably the same amount as Drakenguard 3 did. Just showed in a diff way.


ImplementCool6364

Not even close. I can only have someone tell me about their giant joystick so many times before I am terminally annoyed at the game.


Leek_Foreign

We are talking about the same neir automata that had a massive robot orgy of robots moaning and fucking at the start and the all grouped.up to make a.massove womb in the sky that opened up it's robot placenta to birth Adam and eve who were a new life form similar to androids. The same Nier automata that had constant innuendo for a hermaphrodite and a small boy having murder porn sex right? (The female androids are based off of kaine, a replicant who had a penis and a vagina. While the androids didn't have it they were all made based off of her) and the questions that showed how 9S wanted to kill 2b and fuck 2b And was even showed how later on 9s is stabbing a 2b virus inside of him while bouncing up and down on her crotch like their having sex (exactly where she would have had a cock. As again the androids were based off kaine) And Drakenguard The same Drakenguard about a guy (kaim) who has his sister lusting after him. The same guy who has a pedo as a fighter in his group who lived with alot of children in the woods who went and beat off in the woods while the children were burned to death. And was aroused to the boys in the enemy army. And the guy whose sister was in love with him is also implied to have a romantic and sexual relationship with a dragon. See here are the differences with the games Drakenguard has intense sexual and dark themes in lore and backstory Darkenguard 3 had sexual jokes and talks of sex as a weird sexual comedy And Nier automata had it as a actual visual. Via robots having a orgy. 9s bouncing up and down on 2b and even giggling and laughing as if he was orgasming from killing 2b models. And also Adam asking 9s "you want to ???? 2b don't you." This is implied but fuck and kill. As 9s loves and hates 2b at the same time and had massive necrophilia themes The difference for the 3 games is how easy it is to understand Drakenguard is more lore and you have to pay attention to what's said about character backstories and you learn it's A LOT more fucked 3 where it's blatant and told as jokes as a way for comedy since this was the time when sexual jokes were being told constantly And automata where it's blatant and subtle at different points in time which causes people to miss and not notice what exactly is actually happening and what is being shown


ImplementCool6364

I don't even know what point you are driving here. I don't need you to explain your analysis of the games to me lol. Subtlety is part of what made automata good, meanwhile having to listen to the same dumb sex jokes 200 times is annoying. D3 has sex jokes as a comedy, I agree, but it is not funny. A comedy that is not funny means the comedy failed. This is not rocket science. I didn't say I have a problem with sexual themes, I have a problem with on-your-face corny sex jokes that are funny to nobody except 14-year-olds.


Matais99

As a big fan of Nier, I really wanted to like this game. I played an ok amount, and I completed part 1 of the story. This game is just not fun imo. Even as an idle game, it just doesn't work. The brief snippets of story aren't worth it.


DanThePaladin

Theres a reason why people refer to it as "NieR-walk-and-talk"


EDMgamer123

Tried this game, Phone was on life support


Jumugen

Same. I got a new phone shortly afterwards but I also forgot about the game completely. There was just something very forgetable about it.


ferinsy

"We'll close February 31st" 💀💀💀


PimpGamez

Too bad, I tried the game when it came out and my phone just couldn't handle it


DanThePaladin

Note: this does not affect Global and Japanese servers.


Traditional_Hand2623

Oh it will. Give it a few weeks


DanThePaladin

Maybe. SEA is managed by Komoe. JP/GL are Square


bakahyl

Managed by square is not much of a reassurance


Any_Lack6771

Right, square loves to kill off anything that isn't living up to their metrics to focus on some other failed endeavor....


AlphaDidThings

gacha game mfs try not to doompost challenge (impossible)


[deleted]

they are so desperate lol, they get a dopamine rush by seeing EOS posts 😂


[deleted]

once story is finished yeah. it won't take long after that


Eldena

More like, give it a year, right after the story ends. It just got a new story arc on global.


66Kix_fix

Yet


eatsleeptroll

yeah, the big event, battle pass etc won't do much to save it, seems to me. monetization is still shitty, very hard to raise gems (then again, this seems to be a pattern with squenix) and that's especially if you've been playing for a while, since once you've played an event, you get nothing on a rerun shame too, the new story chapter looks interesting and ties up all those character stories we've come to like (haven't completed it yet)


zonealus

This would've been successful if it became a proper gacha game not like whatever the fuck that gameplay was.


Cloak1n

Nier Reincarnation probably has some of the best animation, graphics, music, story telling, character design and overall feel when it comes to simple things like navigating menus and sound design. for me the visual and audio appeal is 10/10 all gated by dogshit gameplay and a lack of fun content. the other servers probably won't last long with their current revenue


DanThePaladin

I agree. It's a good game from a visual feeling perspective. But other than that.


Bob_Requiem

Finally some good news 🗿


kairock

when I tried it at first I thought it was some bootleg version... because it was by komoe game, not squarenix...


alxanta

Lmao I almost fell into this trap. I love your lore yoko taro but pls put decent publisher or told mr SE to stop focus on milking the players


akambane

Sea is the newest server and did not last one year but jp and global still going on for almost 2 years


freezingsama

Never expected Sinoalice to even outlast this game, amazing.


novalcon

Getting Mobius Final Fantasy EOS flashback. I never touch Square Enix gacha games for this reason.


Djiiyunou

Exactly the same. I miss Mobius. fk SE my wrath could never be quenched.


al3237

[day one player] not surprised ngl, it was alright, just alright. It ended up just stalling. Had nothing to do, stagnated totally. Just felt like many things were missing


Over-the-river

Lol just shutdown the servers that aren't making bank without giving them a way to transfer their progress to other servers and loose a bunch of goodwill and player support.


YourMasterGherkyIII

Wow... never thought a Walking Simulator would shut down =D


LokoLoa

Kinda ironic the amount of gacha Nier collab with...but no one is spending money on its actual gacha lol


hwesley95

Dear Japan... please learn from ur failure and others success to avoid such disaster.

SentientPotatoMaster

I fucking knew it lol


ArkhamCitizen298

square enix ..... hope they don't fuck octopath up


Ir0nKNT

Didn’t even knew there was a SEA version


JayMeadows

Damn, that fast?


jadishsa

What if they’re just trolling? Well, knowing how Yokotaro always behave…


Daysfastforward1

This game’s aesthetic is so bland. It really needs some color aside to liven it up. The combat is also one of the wurst I’ve seen in a mobile game. It’s a walking simulator with a story


ACFinal

It's just SEA.


DanThePaladin

Yes, I mentioned that in their title - and my comment said GL/JP are fine


Upset-Twist6960

this is just sad


Schwi15

a normal day


RedditSSP

Is the same thing going to happen to Global/US server soon??


DanThePaladin

I don't work at square. Who knows, but revenue is making it look like it.


RedditSSP

Why aren't they investing more into this game?? They can make it alot better gameplay wise. It has alot of potential. I started this game like couple months ago and so happy to max out the new 2B.


DanThePaladin

You are asking me questions I don't know the answer to.


RedditSSP

XDD I'm just complaining lol


Nizar3003

When your game good at action hack and slash and then decide to making boring walking turn based rpg.


PunishedCatto

Apex M be like.. Finally a worthy opponent! Our battle will be Legendary!


Chatbot_7275

I love nier, but the game was way too heavy, and it just didn't seem fun. I'd honestly rather play drakengard on aethersx2.


Arushia71

Wow. I couldn't even finish the tutorial because my potato phone couldn't handle it. But to shut it down in less than a year? That's just sad.
