NIER

Nier is also the name of the main character who is seeking for a cure for his dying daughter.

Nier is accompanied by a talking book named Grimoire Weiss, also used to shoot projectiles at enemies.

Progressing through the game yields new powers and different weapons.

Main and side quests lead the party to various battles, controlled in a hack-and-slash manner using melee and ranged weapons as well as magic spells.

Weapons can be upgraded and specialized to deal improved damage against certain enemies.

The camera can be controlled throughout most parts of the game.

The view switches to isometric or 2D-side scrolling at some locations.

The Japanese version of the game comes in two editions: NieR RepliCant​ (PS3) and NieR Gestalt (Xbox 360).

The major differences involve Nier's appearance and his relationship to the character Yonah.

All other international releases are based on NieR Gestalt , regardless of the platform.

NIER for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €22.89 loose, €17.74 complete in box, and €24.83 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

NIER has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For NIER, loose is €22.89 and CIB is €17.74 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of NIER is currently worth €22.89 loose, versus €18.38 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
