Yep. Reading up, looks like I’ll have to go with an original pressing… Am glad there IS a half-decent pressing. Was beginning to think was just the original production was a bit poor (when I used to play it loads in the 90s, I would have used pretty rubbish kit)
I jumped into Nier:Automata pretty blind, but ended up loving and completing it! I’m generally not a huge fan of JRPGs (either find them a huge grind, or story just too impenetrable), but found this flowed and the story, although still quite strange, I could actually get. All-in-all, good stuff. Oh, and I found the soundtrack absolutely gorgeous! Ended up buying that on vinyl.
