      It’s just an action-RPG, not sure what ground was being broken when it released the first time.

      I love this game. I remember playing the PS3 version Nier.

      My first JRPG!

      Also, what genres are being mixed here?

        There are some times the camera angle is changed and locked to make it 2d side scroller for certain parts, and some parts reminiscent of some arcade games like 1945 Air Force: Airplane. And “hacking” opens a mini game mode that feels like a mobile game. On top of that, the lore and story is great and gameplay is fun. There are also collectibles if that’s your thing. And it still has the classic leveling and gear progression common to JRPGs.
