Line 3:
* [[Creator Killer]]: Cavia closed down following the game's commercial underperformance.
* [[Dueling Games]]: ''NieR'' was published by Square Enix at roughly the same time as ''their'' post-apocalypse epic fantasy ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]''.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: There are conflicting stories about which one came first, but the gist of it is the fact that one of the Niers (most likely father Nier) was created to appeal more to one of the markets, the idea being that Brother Nier would be more in line with Japan's tastes and dad Nier more in line with the West's. This seems to have paid off: while some people prefer brother Nier for various reasons, father Nier is much more popular with Western fans of the game due to a father-daughter story being perceived as more primal and powerful, and the relative scarcity of playing as an older protagonist in JRPG's, making this a case of [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: ''Gestalt'' might as well be called ''Darker [[Tales of Vesperia]]''. Devola/Popola being Estelle, Kaine being Gauche, Nier being Duke, and Emil being Karol, oh, and Weiss is Cumore.
** Oh dear God, [[Dynasty Warriors|Lu Bu]] is a [[Papa Wolf]], with a [[BlazBlue|GIGANTIC TAGER]]!
