It was sometimes I quickly started to suspect about Nier and I'm glad someone can back me up. I’m sad to see this article hasn’t gotten more comments.

There are jaggies everywhere. Again if the "Love letter to PS2 RPGs" thing is true, that makes sense, but when you look at Nier relative to all the other games, it just looks Lo-fi. Character models are nice though. Expect that was intentional. I dunno about “Beautifully clean”. There are jaggies everywhere.

There's one concern I'd like to point out regarding your comparison with that articular Akira Yamaoka piece, which relies heavily on a sample by German band "Janus", and thus might not be the best choice as a <i>Yamaoka</i> piece. I might well be the first person to point this out on the interwebs, since Janus is not exactly well known.

I don't really remember how I heard about this game, it wasn't from a friend or a television ad, but when I saw the way the game looked, not necessarily the graphical capability, but the art direction, I had to go out and buy it. I did get very frustrated with the fishing, but that is honestly the only gripe I've had so far. The story is so much better than so many other JRPGS, and the characters are so much more interesting. The newest Star Ocean title on the 360 made me want to kill myself pretty much the whole time I was playing it with its atrocious voice acting and boring as fuck story, and I just think it's sad that gems like Nier get overshadowed just because they might seem a little flawed for someone who doesn't have enough imagination to think that it could have been intentional. I seriously laughed out loud at the end of the Desert Dungeon. Thank you for making so much sense.

Redemption can also means the payment of a debt prematurely. Edgar Ross owns his life after he takes John Marstons. The naturally payment of his debt (his life) would be at his natural dead, but Jack Marston makes him pay his debt early by killing him - it also why Red Dead Redemption appears on the screen right after you kill him.
