There is a really long (but thorough) video series on youtube that someone made that explained the Drakengard universe and how everything ties in. Automata is basically the sequel to Nier as a result of a specific ending that you can achieve in Nier. Yoko Taro is an insane genius.
I recommend people, who haven’t played Nier before, to not read the responses to comments here. There’s a person going around and intentionally spoiling major plots of the game
Don't say it out loud, or Yoko Taro will throw another tantrum for winning Best Soundtrack but not Best Narrative. No, wait! Do say it out loud, his reaction was great!
And I don't know why but man their voices aged really well. I think they sound better on 2021 than their voices on 2010. It feels more emotional and I love it ❤️❤️❤️
Except Nier's VA, unless they get the old man Nier VA as his voice actor. Remember, OG Replicant was JP only and what we get outside JP is Gestalt where they change Nier into old man because westerners like buff old man more than slim bishounen, they said.
Honestly the fact they got as many voice actors back for this game as is is, impressive and Liam will always be Weiss’s voice so glad they didn’t forget to put him back. What’s more impressive is probably Laura doing Kaine I cannot imagine that contract was cheap lol
Yeah... I totally agree with you!! without the same voice-actors as last, this game could'nt be near as great as it was before! just remember Silent Hill 2 remake .lol
Was it new voice acting? I mean if they have the original clip's they just reuse that. --Like Cool if they did come back, I would just think they aren't doing 30+ hours of work, maybe a few lines.

@@bluepaw7 I liked it too but that game deserved better. I definitely don't recommend playing it though, watching it on RUclips is probably more enjoyable than getting through the horrible fps that game has.

Oh is just glorious. Is it me or it feels more broken with the new instruments? Like, we are going to break you again, now even better!!! Such a masterpiece ✨✨✨✨✨
@@Sunnyboy-ob4xz i remember reading somewhere that yoko taro said that if this game sells well, we might get Papa Nier. Not sure if that implies DLC or such.
@@IllMatic97 It is? Because SHE is a female and sees herself as a female. It surprises me how there is still people that seem to not understand what happened with her.
Nier PS3 was one of the best games I’ve ever played in my life. Now it’s time to relive that time in HD! For those that have never played, prepare to be blown away
Hmm, well I admit, I may end up checking it out after the collab with FF14 and knowing it's the prequel. But, forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly positive the PS3 version was HD too.
Apparently they said in an interview that if Replicant v.122 sells half the amount what Automata did, they'll consider either adding the father as an option into the game or making a remaster of Gestalt, not sure which.
@@JB-ci8fc Can't see them doing another seperate release; I mean, the games are nearly identical other than a few lines and the character. DLC seems more likely - the only real work they'd need to do is the dialogue.

@@thebigzan It's not that close to Automata. No on-the-fly weapon switching, no aerial combos, probably no dodge offset/witch time etc. The animations don't appear to be mocaped either.
blame taro for wanting it to release on the exact date of the original release, just 11 years later. game is ready but they wont release. taro is a troll.
The big twist of NieR Replicant is that the shades (enemies of the game) are the last humans left. This leads to why there are no humans left in Automata. You kill what is left of them in Replicant unknowingly. Also, Shadowlord is the real Nier..
Emil karma sounding great. Gods bound by rules at the start sounds fresh. Song of the ancients is an atrocity if its meant to be the remaster of fate. Sounds nothing like fate.
They better have kept the original of Song of the Ancients at some point - I’m a bit concerned because I don’t think any of the music needed to be redone and was perfect as it was.
@@PaulHofreiter yes yes.. While this new arrangements are great (I'm talking about Song of the Ancients, Emil, 2 songs from the prev trailer) but some are Miss for me (Gods Bound by Rules and Blu-Bird). Eventho in the beginning, the choir is beautiful, but the Gods Bound by Rules they showed in the prev trailer are Big Mehh 😕 They really need to give us the option to switch between new and Original songs.
