Line 16:
** The Phoenix Spear. Without upgrades, it is the best combination of speed and raw attack power, and can one-shot most enemies by the time Nier gets enough money to acquire it, making the rest of the game trivially easy.
** The Beastbain, which is sold by the blacksmith in Nier's Village, may count too. It's expensive, but if you're lucky enough, you can get both enough money, and enough items to upgrade it, to make the first part of the game pretty easy.
* [[Player Punch]]:
** Can't get much worse than the haymaker that is the {{spoiler|forced deletion of ALL your save games you've put 30+ hours into in order to see the ending D, complete with each page of Grimoire Weiss being erased one by one, finishing it off by deleting the save files themselves}}.
Line 29 ⟶ 30:
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: The game was overlooked on the whole, selling poorly in the West and greeted by mixed reviews. However, a few critics and a number of the people in the game's small fanbase consider the game unusually well-written and interesting, not just for a JRPG, but as a game in general. It's also easily one of the most depressing and oppressive games in recent memory.
* [[The Woobie]]: The main characters could all qualify. In fact, most of the cast could qualify. Hell, the ''Shades'' qualify, once you learn what they actually are.
▲** [[Iron Woobie]]: ''Replicant'' Nier. Both of his parents died before he was ten, but he forbids himself from mourning them in fear of making Yonah sad. Instead, he focused on earning money doing odd jobs in the village, but when Yonah became sick with the [[The Virus|Black Scrawl]], he couldn't afford her medicine. Nier eventually had to resort to prostitution to provide this (he developed a phobia of people touching his hair from these experiences, which led to him tying it up), but even then he bears it silently, believing that it's for Yonah's sake. Later on, it's even implied that {{spoiler|he killed the sex buyer in a Shade-slaying job}}. Since this is [[All There in the Manual|never mentioned in the actual game]], you can't even tell from his general positivity that these things even happened.
* [[World of Woobie]]
