Nier Replicant

Nier[b] is an action role-playing video game developed by Cavia and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in April 2010. In Japan, the game was released as Nier Replicant[c] for the PlayStation 3 with a younger main character, while an alternative version titled Nier Gestalt[d] with an older main character was released for the Xbox 360; Gestalt was released outside of Japan as Nier for both platforms.[2] An updated version of Replicant, titled Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139...,[e][f] was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows on April 23, 2021.

The game is a spin-off from the Drakengard series, and follows the fifth ending of the first game, the events of which have left the planet Earth in a state of decay. Set over one thousand years after this, the game puts the player in control of the protagonist as he attempts to find a cure for an illness, known as the Black Scrawl, to which Yonah—either his sister or daughter, depending on the version—has succumbed. Partnering with a talking book known as Grimoire Weiss, he journeys with two other characters, Kainé and Emil, as he attempts to find a remedy and understand the nature of the creatures known as Shades that stalk the world. The gameplay borrows elements from various video game genres, occasionally switching between them and the main role-playing-based gameplay.

Nah, I’m about 4 or 5 hours in.

I’m surprised how much Automata is in here, I always thought that was some stylish offshoot, but this is generally that game in a different setting.

Music is exceptional

That it is, I really have been enjoying the music. Lots of Nintendo in here, from the chickens and the noise they make (Zelda) to the robot boss battle (Mario64)

Also IMO Grimoire Weiss sounds like Piers Brosnan

I played the original a little after launch, and am interested in picking this up, but don't really have the time just yet.

The original on 360 was decent, but flawed, so it's good to see some of the issues ironed out and it getting some wider attention with this version. Sounds like they still haven't sorted out all the multiple endings gooseberry fool though. Soundtrack was the standout back then, and while I think it's been re-recorded, it's still a highlight from the sounds of it.

Automata was a lot of fun, with a fantastic story and music. Very tempted to get this one.

I am actually enjoying the side quests but it throws loads at you straight away and I don’t know if any are missable. Finally moving on with the story 11 hours later.

20+ hours in and spent most of the time doing side quests. I have hardly done any of the main storyline but where I am now has just gotten very good.

30 hours in now, if you do the side quests there is a hell of a lot of running around. The music and the main story though :wub:

Personally I prefer Automata so far but I am still loving this too.

Just rinsed the original in under 4.5hrs for the full 1000Gs for the 10k reward / achievement challenge. It looked stylish and piqued my interest in playing this at some point through Game Pass. Is this more of the same?

This is a remaster of the original Nier, the only major difference being you play as boy Nier rather than dad Nier like in the original Japanese release. It's definitely longer than 4.5 hours though so I don't know what you were playing...

Maybe it wasn't the original then? Some of us don't care about the folklore of a games series. It was Nier Automata and yes I did it in 4.5hrs courtesy of a guide.

Only played it for the Gs and Reward points. But it seemed something I might like to play this stupidly named sequel/follow on/next release at some point
