JRPGs That Still Need to Come to PC

NieR: Automata absolutely killed it last year with flashy combat and philosophical overtones. The game received an underwhelming PC port that is easily fixed by a fan patch, but its prequel, NieR, never received a PC release, which is a shame since it hits most of the same notes as NieR: Automata, especially when it asks philosophical questions. And, since the game is published by Square Enix, it’s a surprise NieR hasn’t already released on PC.

Now, you might wonder why I’m discussing NieR and not NieR Gestalt or NieR RepliCant. Well, that’s because what we call NieR the Japanese call NieR Gestalt. Its sister game, NieR RepliCant, is exclusive to the Japanese PlayStation 3. Since RepliCant never released outside of Japan, it would make for a good bonus in a PC port of NieR.
