The OG NieR just had ok gameplay. The remaster enhanced the combat, though.
The subquests are all optional, mostly fetch quests, and they give low rewards. The real reward is the stories they tell and the emotion they convey. NieR is a cult classic because of the setting, the story and music, which are outstanding.
It's gonna be fun watching Nina play, but I'd recommend experiencing it alone for the full impact.
