Original Nier wasn't very good. It had some good elements, but the meh combat held it back enough to prevent it from being really great. Even the experimental gameplay sections weren't refined to the extent that Automata's alternate gameplay sections were. And there were still some visual novel-y sections, like A2 and Anemone's backstory.

Story / Characters / Side Quests / Feels: Nier


wat

Nier's sidequests were terrible. Most of them were bad fetch quests. The occasional one had some cool story twists, but I feel like side quests and combat are the two areas where Automata really distances itself from the first game.


I just found more of em more interesting compared to Automata's (to be fair Automata had its own fair share of escort and fetch side quests). Automata had some neat ones too but I think what helps is Nier and Weiss playing off each other during them better than 2B and 9S. At least to me

Some to name off the top of my head

Lighthouse and the Letter Quests

Fishing Quest that gets you hooked on it (with Nier and Weiss kinda reflecting the player's attitude to the fishing in general)

The Twins

The Dog that was looking for the medicine
