Fun fact, the Nier Automata v1.1 anime, which is a new timeline/branch of the original game and is personally written by Yokotaro, has adapted the Copied City’s Church location. This mod is now semi canonish.
Who ever made this mod has an appreciation for the Drakenierverse They included elements of the Gestalts/Shades from Replicant as well as the 5 intoner statues from Drakengard 3.
It is a testament to the stylization, aesthetic, and implementation of assets of Nier that I would have no idea this wasn’t official if I wasn’t told, and I 100%ed the game lol
Its a decent homage to Drakengard 3 but It would have been nice if this was expanded into two paths First path is a reference to the entirety of Drakengard and the Second path is a reference to Nier Reincarnation since you can equip a Mama skin for the Pod in the End of YoRHa version.
That would be really cool. I finished drakengard 3 2 days before the big twitch reveal so it really got to me. I still havent played Nier ReIncarnation tho.
@@takeru9391 honestly, don't. Its a fuckin second job, not an actually playable game. go watch some video about the lore if you rly want to, but playing is just damn painful.
It’s actually horrifying. The machine life forms ark is basically them becoming the new “Watchers”. Given how splintered and more android like Machines are, the next NiER is probably going to be Drakengard but they don’t know they are machines.
dude it just does NOT LOOK FAKE! I really don't get it...what's with the voicelines and small 'cutscenes' ... this is is kind of annoying that it's not real... wth
My attempt to break down the references: Phase 1: I'm guessing that's supposed to be a copy of Yonah where the flower is within the church itself. The boss itself being NieR. Though, that feels all kinds of wrong. [Boss Model: Eve] Phase 2: The chained status look a lot like either Zero or The Flower in general from Drakengard 3. While I'm not sure what the boss itself is a reference to, it does remind me of Drakengard 1's final boss (Ending E), the Queen-Beast. [Boss Model: Red Girls] Phase 3: Ok, yeah no, that's Zero alright. [Boss Model: Adam] Phase 3-2: More allies for both the player and the boss itself. It's hard to tell, but your allies seem to be Zero and someone else. As for the enemy, the Red Girls-like bosses make an appearance. [Boss Model: Red Girls]
I think this is beautiful, like it was already so well made when we were still unsure whether it was real or not, but this was so wonderfully made. You can feel the love and passion in this, I feel this mod adds to the argument of video games being an art form. Well done
The people who created this mod did an excellent job that almost seems made by Platinum Games, I am very happy to see the love and dedication of this community
I would believe this was a secret more if the door wasn't so obvious...you approach it and there is a prompt....you mean to tell me in years no one walked up to that wall? ....yeah...no.. this is still cool.
Ah that was so damn cool and I came into it not knowing it was a mod and thought I totally forgot something, so well done it should be in the game to be honest.
Sad this wasn't real, I was really hoping for a drakengard remake... But it's a phenomenal mod, I would think it was part of the game, if I didn't know
@@nightwish1453we don’t know for certain he DIDNT brainjack the modders in preparation. Mr Taro is crafty… and also a troll. In all seriousness though this mod is extraordinarily well made and the secretiveness around it was after Yoko Taro’s own heart he’d be so proud
Had to return after attending the end of data concert. The church is semi canon now 😅 I wonder if yoko taro saw this and decided yep I should include this
Lol, this situation got me banned off Reddit. I said it was a modder because literally NOBODY could replicate it, and everyone was calling me stupid because "the game is leik totally unpossible to mod" (wtf does that even MEAN, bro?). Ngl, the sheer stupidity of everyone claiming just one dude had a magical copy of the game sent me over the rails and I got permabanned. Good times.
At that time the modding capabilities for Nier Automata werenr so advanced. Tge only thing people were able to mod are Weapon model swaps and custom character. But pretty dumb to ban someone. although that time was filled with controversial stuff that happened.
Nah dude, you're not smart. This was literally the first example of area modding tools ever been used for Nier, they literally didn't exist before the church door
*Slight spoiler* Ngl, I teared up when I realize what the ending was telling the story of. A lot of us has a big care for the Drakengard series. As I realized who's hand that was reaching for the Lunar Tear, when I realized why the hairs of the models in the darkness felt familiar, when I rewatched the ending and realize the placement of the Lunar Tear to the hand was really close to where Mikhail was when the final blow was struck... On the real, thank you for creating this. You warmed a fans heart real hard with this, truly
Should I get into Drakengard? The hidden details of the Church and what lies underneath does make me curious as someone who plans to replay Automata this year and only started getting into Replicant come 2024.
AFAIK Platinum Games, and by extension Yoko Taro, haven't commented about this mod. But I don't doubt they are impressed by the connection made in this mod back to the Drakengard series
Jeez this is incredible. But I have 1 sticky thought, do you play it with en voice and German subs? When if you use subs, why don't you take jp voice? Like isn't it jp game and voice actors are blah blah blah...?
For me it was one of my greatest gaming experiences. Being there in a channel with nearly 80 people in it, talking over my favourite game of all time, even beating Ocarina of Time.
It is a mod for Nier Autonata to show off new modding capabilities that werent possible before. And they thought about a way to make the reveal, or concept, as near to Niers lore as possible.
It is the same dialogue as in Nier Replicant Its in one of the last areas so search for it if it doesn't bother you to get spoiled if you didnt play it.
how does this mod work? do you just install it and it shows up in your world on your save file or does it create a special save for you to go and do it.
The original Nier beats Drakengard 3 by 3 years so the shouldnt be a big problem. Drakengard could get the nier combat formula added to it. that would be good

What? Where and when?

That is rather funny, fan fiction fake news mods actually influenced the anime

Always has been.

They included elements of the Gestalts/Shades from Replicant as well as the 5 intoner statues from Drakengard 3.
The work people put into these mods with the church is amazing. It looks so good and fits in so perfectly!
I wish this was real. The Copied City lacked something.
it really was just a Boss area. Had so much Potential
The tower too, to be honest
@@takeru9391 fr gave me so much kingdom hearts vibes
Textures?
Oh, this is fake, oof. Clicking off the video now.
As of 2024 the end of data canonized this.
It is a testament to the stylization, aesthetic, and implementation of assets of Nier that I would have no idea this wasn’t official if I wasn’t told, and I 100%ed the game lol
For real!
“Hey, Zero.”
* music plays *
No…not now, my heart can’t take it.
This sounds exactly like something Taro would've done himself if he had the chance. It fits perfectly with the lore.
Its a decent homage to Drakengard 3 but It would have been nice if this was expanded into two paths
First path is a reference to the entirety of Drakengard and the Second path is a reference to Nier Reincarnation since you can equip a Mama skin for the Pod in the End of YoRHa version.

What would be a fitting boss for Re[in]carnation? Levania? Tatarigami (that Giant moose in the Cage)?
@@seraphkiel6456 how about [Rion]Mechanical Exile and [Fio]Mechanical Girl?
@@takeru9391 honestly, don't. Its a fuckin second job, not an actually playable game. go watch some video about the lore if you rly want to, but playing is just damn painful.
@@HoplessNihilist lmao
They should make this real. Nothing wrong with some new dlc for this outstanding game
Well they made another remake, so... it's possible they could
Another remake? When? Where? Which platform?
@@RD-ii8sq they meant
replicant
Its SQUARE ENIX, dont expect anything good from them.
@@sencren4645 replicant's a remake of NieR (Gestalt), not NieR: Automata
ahh the zero & mikhail mention! love the drakengard 3 reference, so cool that all of yoko taro's creations are connected.
I think that is really great to. And the pure crossover nature of Nier automata is so cool.
Just so you know, everything in this video is a fan made mod!
It’s actually horrifying. The machine life forms ark is basically them becoming the new “Watchers”.
Given how splintered and more android like Machines are, the next NiER is probably going to be Drakengard but they don’t know they are machines.
dude it just does NOT LOOK FAKE! I really don't get it...what's with the voicelines and small 'cutscenes' ... this is is kind of annoying that it's not real... wth
you guys killed it!!! you made something beautiful for a beautiful game. i fucking respect it. i love modding communities and am so glad nier has one.
7:55 no, my heart can't physically take this, no

Phase 1: I'm guessing that's supposed to be a copy of Yonah where the flower is within the church itself. The boss itself being NieR. Though, that feels all kinds of wrong. [Boss Model: Eve]

The statues are directly ripped from the last drakengard 3 boss. but besides that, really good break down
@@takeru9391 Thanks.
so wait... this is a mod !? Amazing, I genuinely though it was content i missed on my playthrough !!
I think this is beautiful, like it was already so well made when we were still unsure whether it was real or not, but this was so wonderfully made. You can feel the love and passion in this, I feel this mod adds to the argument of video games being an art form. Well done
This feels way too legit to not be real. Like, I would not be surprised if this was some secret ending that was only just discovered.
we hoped so
The people who created this mod did an excellent job that almost seems made by Platinum Games, I am very happy to see the love and dedication of this community
seeing this mod is Great Drakengard 1 & 3 need a Remake soon. 2023 is Prity much the 20th anniversary to the drakengard half of nier. love it.
Me parece increíble lo que puede hacer la comunidad cuando en verdad aman algo. Felicidades, les quedó increíble
i started to cry when i was hit by zero and mkhail dialogue
Why did I think this was real. I was legit about to play right now
you could play it on pc
looking up and seeing the flowerised intoners were really cool
They just put this on the anime thats so dope
So meta, for a fake prank to influence the anime
let's talk about how they ''somehow'' added this in the 9th episode of the anime
wow the kick combo is actually on the official release where we fight square enix ceo, actually pretty neat!
Woah every day i learn something about this game.
I would believe this was a secret more if the door wasn't so obvious...you approach it and there is a prompt....you mean to tell me in years no one walked up to that wall? ....yeah...no.. this is still cool.
It's a mod, it's not in the game
Ah that was so damn cool and I came into it not knowing it was a mod and thought I totally forgot something, so well done it should be in the game to be honest.
Looks like daddy nier is Hella pissed
"proposal: evacuate immediately" reminded me of the Ben Drowned MM creepypasta
Does this work for my fridge?
The Intoners and the Black Flower make a comeback somehow! Glad to see that Drakengard 3 didn't fall to Oblivion.
4:09 what song is this? its so good holy
Vague hope (spring rain)
Sad this wasn't real, I was really hoping for a drakengard remake... But it's a phenomenal mod, I would think it was part of the game, if I didn't know

Thought id missed something in nier for a sec and was about to redownload that shit real quick
The Drakengard Connection would be the non plus Ultra for NieR Automata ngl
Oh how I wish this were something I could play…. This is amazing…. And so nostalgic… such great references.
I didn't know that the Cathedral Tower in the beggining is actually Toledo's Cathedral Tower!
Had to return after attending the end of data concert. The church is semi canon now 😅 I wonder if yoko taro saw this and decided yep I should include this

What is the song at 7:53 ? Its so good I just keep listening to it
Faltering Prayer - Starry Sky
Thanks 🙏
Well I'm glad to hear this is a mod. I was wondering how I could have missed something so interesting. danke schön
Sorry if it was late. But I played the game on my PC and that hidden door part didn't exist at all.
Same for me , guess they removed it

I wish this could have been DLC.
Everyone were asking, are you using mod? Or Are you *"Yoko Taro"* .
Where exactly does the unofficial/modded part start, as a time stamp maybe? Is it the part where you get warped in the vast cavern?
Everything in this video is modded
Like 0:10 lmao
I hate you can’t play this with a2 I know nobody agrees with me but I never did like 9s
I think 9S has the best character development but A2 would fit aswell.
Guys, the ost at 1:06 exist? Does anyone know the name?
Yes,my friend,just found it. It’s called blissful death
If somehow we get a new nier game I bet yoko taro will troll us referencing this mod lol

AFAIK Platinum Games, and by extension Yoko Taro, haven't commented about this mod. But I don't doubt they are impressed by the connection made in this mod back to the Drakengard series
Yoko taro Said that he has nothing todo with it i think. But 1 cool little nod was that the english voice for 9S was on the hype train aswell.
I didnt play the game for years, and i STILL remember, that i have not fought this.
I'm so confused right now, this is real or not?! Is this in the game or did you make it? dude i'm really confused right now
Its not in the gane. Its a mod and i didnt make it. You can find it on Nexusmods.
the legend of sadfutago
Jeez this is incredible. But I have 1 sticky thought, do you play it with en voice and German subs? When if you use subs, why don't you take jp voice? Like isn't it jp game and voice actors are blah blah blah...?
I never bothered to change the default settings tbh
I'm gonna pay every price for adding that to game
I was so hyped when i found this turns out it was a mod, shame
For me it was one of my greatest gaming
experiences. Being there in a channel with nearly 80 people in it, talking over my favourite game of all time, even beating Ocarina of Time.

when i saw flower, i thought it might be relaed to Drakengard 3. and it was! wonderful job!
Perfect
When interacting with the fountain(?), what does it say with the dialogue choices and such?
It is the same dialogue as in Nier Replicant Its in one of the last areas so search for it if it doesn't bother you to get spoiled if you didnt play it.
The girls hanging upside down are the i toners I believe
The Music is different ngl
Like seeing this but would be nice to see some english subtitles.
sorry im german and forgot to switch these up for the recording
i waste 1 hour or more at searching secret door every time when i see video about this
how does this mod work? do you just install it and it shows up in your world on your save file or does it create a special save for you to go and do it.
it edits the map data in the copied city. You need a savefile yourself to get there. You can use Nahm to install it easily
@@takeru9391 ok thanks
