Some thoughts on Yoko Taro's Action-RPG epic Nier - including some thoughts on its humanist themes, the differences between its various versions (including the 2021 remake Nier: Replicant) and the intangible charm of its messy plot and lore. Also discussed: oversexualization of women characters in video games and anime, horny Japanese auteurs, a really succinct plot summary of Nier, how much I hate styrofoam packing peanuts and more.
