I don't typically preorder games, just as a general rule. However, I made an exception for this one. I really want to encourage and reward the idea of taking a reasonably well regarded gacha story, stripping that live service muck out of it, and making it a fully-fledged game on its own. I really hope more devs take that idea, even it's only when the live-service version hits EOS.

Somebody ought to do that for stuff like Magia Record and Dragalia Lost. Or every gacha game for that matter.

If the success of this game gets us any closer to an offline version of NieR: Reincarnation, then it will all have been worth it

Great to hear it turned out well, I was worried about it considering it's origins.

Also Tales of Crestoria. Could easily be one of the best games in the mainline Tales franchise.
