Even just the goddamn soundtrack.
The entire game is flawless.
::: spoiler It's still my favorite game. The ending hit me so hard; had me messed up for a while. I just started Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 in hopes of having a game hit me as hard as Nier: Automata did. spoiler :::
My main gripe is that replaying the story as 9s can get pretty slow, and the combat isn't nearly as enjoyable.
The soundtrack quickly became one of my favorites. It's on rotation with Chrono Trigger/Cross, Xenogears, Expedition 33, and Hades.
