Yes, because nobody had actually played it yet. It was all potential and no disappointment at that point.

And then the first two tiers involved utterly lacklustre storytelling and the NieR fans telling the non-NieR fans "don't panic, it always starts out like this and all the big stuff happens in the third act" – not a particularly reassuring thing when we hadn't seen the characters enough to build a connection to care – and then the third act turned out to be a total mess that threw a heap of new concepts into the mix without trying to explain any of its imagery.
