* [[Eight Point Eight8.8]]: Gamespot slapped it with a 5.
** Joystiq's reviewer slapped it with a "zero"... because he ragequit after [[Scrappy Mechanic|spending hours fishing at the wrong spot with nothing to show for his efforts]]... [[Mis Blamed|despite the map pointing out exactly where to find the fish]].
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: {{spoiler|Devola}}, and a borderline case for {{spoiler|The Shadowlord}}.
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Is Father Nier a good father? He travels to hell and back searching for a way to save Yonah's life, but in doing so he spends so much time away from home that it borders on [[Parental Abandonment]]. It's achingly clear that Nier's absence hurts Yonah far more than her illness.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The entire soundtrack. Seriously. This is true for every single track. It is amazing.
Line 9:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=774LdRLqWsM&fmt=18 "Song of the Ancients/Fate"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsQJPNOEAdg&fmt=18 "Hills of Radiant Winds"] are great as well.
* [[Designated Hero]]: It's revealed that Kainé, unlike Nier, is very well aware of fact that {{spoiler|Shades are sentient}}, however she never even remotely tries to hint on it or stop merciless slaughter.
* [[Fan Dumb]]/[[Fandom Heresy]]: The two versions of Nier, coupled with many people only hearing about the game via poor and sensationalist games journalism, occasionally leads to bizarre statements and accusations being made in comment threads whenever this game is mentioned. A common argument comes from certain ''NieR Gestalt'' fans saying that ''NieR Replicant'' only exists because the Japanese are so superficial that they won't play a game without a bishounen in it, but the dumb can run deeply on both sides. The director having a [[Viewers Areare Morons]] moment and suggesting in one interview that [[Nie R]] Replicant might have sold well in France, with the implication that only the French could appreciate Japanese culture, didn't really help....
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]/[[Fridge Horror]]: After finishing the game once, {{spoiler|the true extent of the Shades' thoughts, actions and purpose on the world comes to light. And it becomes horrifying due to the actions of the player, who ''already killed them all''.}}
* [[Game Breaker]]: 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.
