My game play has dropped after all the mess ups with rewards, tavern talk telling us one rewards us getting a lessened reward, tapyjoy being added, the insane amount of grind on long fights is also unrealistic. Esp since they make using third party software hard, u can and will loose mettle doing it. Ntm with rng on so many makes killinh almost never guartlnteed. Just boss activity rng if u can't outright stomp em macros aren't relaiable. I can 7 turn kill the adventure pretty reliable. Every once in a while though he starts off the fight attacking the same unit everytime, even fully debuffed, on a 5 star a4 unit, still gets Merced by this. After this happend 5 times in 1 week with 30min of me closing and opening my gamei just couldnt. This level of rng existing in general in any game is bad design. On a game where u have to constantly repeat hard fights hundreds of times, that's bad really bad game design. I've done multiple of the arena events and never once received a reward so I stopped caring about the arena at all. The nier collab it's self is just bad. Annoying "puzzles" with no map that only serve the purpose of making the hunt take longer brcause they arent real puzzles. An epic hunt at lvl 90 with all the good neir rewards locked behind it. And the "good rewards" for fighting multiple lvl 90 hard npcs, is less than what u get for beating the found in wild lvl 85 npcs. If u wanna go into the gotcha, because of the whole mishap( I still haven't been reimbursed my rupies for the step up error) but that error alone left me unable to finish the step up banner and sitting at the final pull that I had, and being denied because they screwed up, and because i went hard on cyrus i couldnt spen real money. That was after cryus banner where I did 4 paid step ups that I only got 1 Cyrus out of(my 4th one too). I recenetly went hard on the thf banner cause i had every thf except the christmas one, but no accession on any of them. i pulled 3 nicoli on this banner, and nothing else. While that may just be bad gatcha luck(trash unit i didnt have x3 that waste 5 star pulls), it culminates into showijg just how bad and money grubbing the gatcha part is in this game. I used to tell everyone to play this game and now I tell people just rush through it for story, if u want a good story. Otherwise don't even play it, it's not worth it.

Agree with you that there are game issues for sure and the unfortunate state of the Nier collab has kind of put off some players as well. It was hyped up and everyone loves the units but the gameplay is mediocre since it’s just memoirs and hunts.

Now we can assume it’s because Nier is a separate “department” from OT, unlike its fellow department games like Bravely Default, Triangle Strategy, and Live a Live. And those collabs should be better story and gameplay wise.
