Have you heard of Fermat's principle?
I loved the hell out of Nier, but boy is it difficult to get people into the game, and I can't blame them for being wary of it. Not only does the game have an incredibly weird theme and very odd characters (one of whom parades around in a negligee, for god's sake), but in order to get to the meat of the game, you need to play it at least 2 times to get into New Game+. And then to get the real ending you need to play it again in New Game++ and do some obscure collection quests. That's a lot of commitment needed from a player, especially in this current age where people rarely finish a game once at all. Not only that, but I felt that they could've worked on the fighting system a bit more: they set up an interesting system that's like a cross between dynasty warriors and bullet hell, but they ruin it by making the bullets trivial through blocking and the combos lacking in variation.

Oh, and the fishing part, as people have already mentioned.
