You really should do the NieR Automata: A Beautiful Song. This is by far the best song from this game imo.
Not gonna lie,this game itself is an amusement park of great songs,one of the best game OST ever made
Dang, that's so f*cking right dude. 🔥🔥🔥
Even though this game's ost isn't my typical genre of music I still absolutely love it and while I don't listen to it a ton, when I do it's truly a great experience
one of the best but still not as good as nier replicant imo
Fun fact about the lyrics in this and most other songs from the Nier games, they're written in Chaos language which was made up by the composer/singer in order to specifically not distract the player while they're going through the game!
It's also how the singer imagined how human language would be 10.000 years in the future, everything is mashed up to a single language with some sounds looking from different languages.
@@theLikou1 Too bad there wasn't an option for the characters to speak Chaos language with subs. It would have given an otherworldly and ethereal feeling like the OST with Chaos language lyrics.
It's basically gibberish that Yoko kanno used in her compositions too (for Cowboy beepop, gundam, ghost in the shell, terror in ressonance, wolf's rain, etc)
(Moon by Yoko Kanno for thoes who want some kind of example)
Even cooler still is the fact that the language was created with the idea that in the very distant future, the world may have a single universal language, and so this was created by taking the sounds of many bits and pieces of different accents around the world. Sometimes it sounds almost English, sometimes almost Japanese, sometimes almost French, etc, because those accents are poking through. Really cool stuff.
@@alpha-tomahawk532 Although Yoko Kanno does a similar thing with her music as does others such as Kajiura Yuki or Keiichiro Toyama in the game Gravity Rush, it is not Chaos Language.
Chaos Language was created by Emi Evans, the main singer for the NieR games and Drakengard 3. The language shift and does not sound the same in every tracks because she doesn't use the same base language. The best example is a track from the first NieR called "Ashes of Dreams" which has 4 versions, one in contemporary English and three others in different "dialects" of Chaos Language based on French (Nouveau), Japanese (Aratanaru) and Gaelic (Nuadhaich).
Releasing Nier OST was quite a task for the people that created it. Because there's very rarely it's just one set track that plays, instead the music is dynamic adapting to what's happening on your screen/in the story. So most tracks have 2-5 versions that transition seamlessly while you play. I think that's pretty cool.
My brain broke when the music switched seamlessly to '8bit'-style during hacking.
That’s friggin awesome! I gotta play more of it
@@cjwes9386I promise you, it's a damn good ride to get all endings
The best part about NieR Automata songs is almost every one has like 4 versions, being ambient for when you're running around, soft for when you're in the pause menu, a more involved action version, and a second ambient with vocals added for certain areas. And that's just if I'm remembering right. The song will change on the fly based on what you're actually doing in game which was the most interesting part of the whole soundtrack. I like the breakdown!
That's very cool
i'm a bit late with this, - there is also a chip-tune version of all the tracks. :)
The way I remember when you just enter the amusement park, the music box version plays, then you come further inside and more instruments appear, then you come even further and the vocal appears. Absolutely magical.
There's also an 8-bit version playing when you're hacking as 9S
All the soundtracks are pure masterpiece you need to do the other !!
I'll be back in 5 hours. This is quite the banger. Wish you'd experience it with the boss battle at the same time.👀😩 It ties it all together, also suggesting more persona music, maybe one of the persona dancing game themes.
I def need to do more Persona
I'm so glad he is finally checking out Nier Automata soundtrack, it is truely one of the greats in any medium. The video he is listening the song on does not quite do it justice. Arriving at the Amusement Park for the first time after fighting through a bunch of machines to then hear this song drop and see the friendly machines was such an experience.
I suggest also watching the video "How NieR: Automata Tells the Ultimate Humanist Fable" by "Michael Saba".
The Nier franchise is just full of amazing music, I’d love to see you check out more in the future. Different sections of this track play depending on where you are in the Amusement Park, so you get a very unique experience when hearing it ingame.
Entire nier series has some of the best soundtracks for gaming ever
Finally Nier music!!! Hope you react to more pieces as all of them are just insanely good.
Holy crap finally nier automata reactions, I seriously need more of these, it's way too good music
You said you think lyrics often get in the way of the song, so you'll love music from the NieR series because the vocals in their songs is a made up language, in fact here's a quote from the games' director Yoko Taro “The reason we went for this mysterious made-up language is because we felt that as game music, having lyrics which you can recognize and understand might distract you from the gameplay.”
Now I'm going to go listen to, my suggestion for you listen to, Kaine's theme from NieR and cry.
Funny enough, this is also the reason all the lyrics in vocal tracks on the Persona soundtracks are in English, to avoid distracting players (since the games are primarily developed with the Japanese market in-mind)
Nier Automata has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a game in a very long time. You definitely should check more tracks from it out.
No need to pay attention to the lyrics here, they're in a made up language anyway :)
Personally, it is right up there with Xenogears; basically tied. I love both soundtracks so much for very different reasons. As I experienced each OST - 20 years apart, roughly. Automata's OST was just so damn clean and polished.
Every time I listen to this song out of context I realize how much is added to it in game. It's not that it's bad but some things only excel in their original environment.
Right? One thing i realized about watching all these video game OST reactions (not just in nier), is how much the context of a video game adds to the music and vice versa. Like how the music in nier automata changes depending on what you're doing, all the souls games boss themes, etc.
There were indeed three versions.
You can think of them as, "amusement park / haunted amusement park / amusement park parade." Each would be playing on a loop under different circumstances. A lot of Nier: Automata's soundtrack works like this, presenting different versions as variations in a single piece.
If you're looking to try others ... well, the whole playlist is excellent. "Possessed by Disease" is a fan favorite, along with "A Beautiful Song," though "Alien Manifestation" and "Birth of a Wish" are the ones I'd actively seek out during a playthrough. "Birth of a Wish" in particular is the in-game herald of a very-human desire manifesting in some utterly bizarre way.
Very few songs get me to tear up. This was one. Especially when you walk up to the park and everyone's dancing. Wish i could erase my memory so i can experience that again. And to think i never would have played this game if it wasn't for game pass.
Ill never touch the game again tho. It broke me.
I like how you mention that the Amusement Park song is a little creepy because SPOILERS, up until that point in the game you have encountered almost exclusively hostile machines. Yet now, in the middle of an abandoned amusement park, we have countless, friendly machines acting as if they were visiting the park, or working there, etc and generally acting like humans. It’s unnerving watching all these robots masquerade as anything other than what we’ve seen and been told about them.
"There was something here, something happy. Long ago. Now it's gone forever, and what's left is its uncanny echo."
That's the vibe this track gives me.
Something that I think neir: automata does really well (that gets a little lost in this format) is how nicely the music fits the context in which it is played. Still great to see this soundtrack represented here.
I played glockenspiel for band whenever we need it and omg you just remind me of all that anxiety 😂. I love this tune and area, and yes it's supposed to be kinda creepy but very pretty. It's the end of the world, everything is destroyed and...is that is that an amusement park? There are fireworks and all the murder robots just chilling and having a good time
I also recommend the English version of “Weight of the World”, this game have a lot of good songs throughout the entire game and it makes the game so much better.
Im not a native English speaker and understand japanese just as good as english, Even then English Nier automata Ost Are reaaaaaallly better Weight of the World And This Cannot Continue is Perfected OST for a Game.
The music in this game really is exceptional, very glad you covered this! A fun followup to consider would be A Beautiful Song, which is the track associated with the boss fight of this area. It's a really gorgeous track with how it has such fun contrasting instrumental portions. The vocals are also really fun, especially the switch halfway through which leads into one of my favourite vocal performance segments in a game (especially cool since, as a few people have mentioned, the vocal language in this game is made up!).
Whichever track you go for, Nier Automata is definitely a treasure trove of great tracks to cover haha
The impact is greater when you pair it with the visuals in game. It's an amazing experience. The gameplay and music go together and make the experience complete.
One of the best games ever made and the OST is the BIGGEST component of its success in my opinion. The story is amazing and perfectly executed, the characters have depth, but the music is what makes the game achieve the most insane levels of emotion and immersion. Hands down the best tracks I've ever seen in a videogame.
I absolutely love keiichi okabe’s work; nier automata and replicant contain some of my favorite songs in gaming. Super stoked to see you checking it out finally! ❤
To add on the nier OST fun facts : most background themes used in the various area have at least 2 versions, a "calm" version and a "combat" version that organically swap between if your in and out of combat.
That is why the second part is much more dynamic and "aggressive" than the second part as I believe this particular source Tony picked has both versions mixed together!
In fact, it's usually three, a quiet, a mid, and a combat version. Amusement Park has three, but the quiet part used in the soundtrack is not the same as in the game. And then there's the fact the game will also use vocal and instrumental versions of the music, something that the soundtrack will also mix into most of the tracks.
what i LOVE with NieR music is that 98% of the time, it's sung in "chaos" language. And to me with audio processing issues, I LOVE this, because the vocals in this exact case are an INSTRUMENT, rather than the actual focus of the song. Because I agree with you, sometimes the lyrics get in the way of the song. I hope you do more! There are tons of beautiful/intense NieR songs.
OH BROTHER, My all time favorite game AND soundtrack
Dude's shirt and hat game is 10/10.
I love this song so much, but so much of this game's music is so evocative and powerful. The Amusement Park song has one cool trick you can't hear outside of the game, there's like three versions of this song that play in different spots. Like there is a version that kind of plays before you get to the park and then the one in the park, and the final one happens when you're in the last section. This game does a lot of this kind of thing.
(Annd I just realized that it sounds like they bled the versions together)
It makes sense that you can't understand the lyrics! It's not a real language after all! Great soundtrack overall. Definitely would recommend more.
the repetitiveness is due to the multiple layers of the set, tied in together to form one long repetitive music
its used to play in the background while playing the game, changing dynamically once you enter or change location without stopping the music
its neat
Best videogame music ever. Please do more reacts to the NieR OST 🙏
The whole OST is a masterpiece.
Hell yeah, this and Copied City are two of my favorites from this perfect OST
The voice here feels ethereal.
Nier music is such a gift honestly. Im glad you got to experience it, and Im glad we got to see you experience it. ^^
Just found this channel randomly while watching through warframe content, happy to see even years after release there are still people discovering things like the Nier:Automata soundtrack and getting so much enjoyment from it. Personally would love to see you play the game though as simply hearing the songs from nier on youtube don't entirely do them justice. I know for a lot of players of the game, myself included, the first time going to the amusement park, seeing all the fanfare, and hearing this song, it's all just breathtaking.
Automata's soundtrack is amazing, but there are tracks that really hit different if experienced in-game vs just listened out of the game. This one is enhanced by the visuals and the contrast between what you'd be expecting to happen and what is actually happening. You're expecting: figthing robots. What is happening: Disney World. It's weird. It also toggles between 3 versions: this full one when in the main area of the Amusement Park, a slightly muted instrumental version that plays when going in the backstreets and an 8-bit version when hacking enemies.
Others like "A Beautiful Song" actually have part of the song being played by the boss themselves with the song being made to match certain parts of the boss fight (or I guess the fight is made to match the song, if we're to be realistic) like chimes that play during certain attacks or the intro being a voice... "line" kinda sorta, which the separate OST doesn't include.
Weight of the World's 3 language versions are the same as in the game, so context notwithstanding it's relatively the same experience (JP version has the signer seemingly break intro crying near the end, like the rest of us), but since the game's director is fond of making us fight music at the end of his action games, the fourth version is a mashup of the other 3 plus added choir (sung by the game's staff) that switch dynamically depending on how far into the "fight" you are. It's a great song but it really smashes you in the feels when you've been playing for 20-30 hours and now you're fighting the game's end credits to save the game's protagonists because a drone of the "armed with machine guns" variety just developed sentience and decided to make a stand against its programming. Fun stuff but the tears make it really hard to target and murder the scrolling (and attacking) names of the staff who are currently singing in a choir that just dynamically came on to encourage me to see it through to the end. Game's weird. 10/10
Great coverage Tony, and glad to see your appreciation of music of this kind. Also its called "Chaos Language" so there are no meaning behind the lyrics as far as anyone is aware!
This song gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. The Nier ost is just something else. Beautiful. Thanks for that video - always wanted to know what you would think about this
You have to make more reactions of NieR's OST, theyre all so amazing, been watching you channel as of lately and im enjoying the way you see music and analyze it, really hoping for more vids from this game to come.
i play alot of JRPG and they always have good music for their game to support the story
nier series have one of the best ingame ost , definitely one of my fav
I would absolutely love to see you react to more of the Nier OST. It's my favorite video game OST and I think you'd enjoy a lot more from it.
Also fun fact: the language the lyrics are sung in is a made up language using multiple different languages. So really no one except maybe the creators can understand what is being sung.
The repetition is semi intentional, most tracks are tied to a prominent location in the game's post apocalyptic setting (in this case, the remains of an amusement park). Themes will fluctuate from a baseline format to quieter arrangements for somber emotional moments, or increased tempo for combat instances without ever cutting between each other. Listening to all those arrangements back to back would likely be repetitive, although tbh even that might be intentional give the nature of the game.
Nier is my favorite soundtrack of all time! Definitely if you ever decide to do songs from Nier again, I would put the ear focus on strings. There are always subtle background melodies going on that add flavor! And everything lyric-wise in the game is made from a made up language!
Darkengard & Nier ost > all other games ost
This game is a floodgate of amazing songs, its just so hard to find any of them bad.
I hope we get to see you react to more tracks from this OST. There are quite a few absolute winners.
"Memories of Dust" is another excellent track from the NieR:Automata soundtrack.
Love the music from Nier automata.
I would also recommend "March of the lost" from the game "Code vein".
Oh shit, Nier Music! Man, you're in for a treat if you continue reacting to the Nier soundtrack because there are some fantastic pieces there. ("Weight of the World/壊レタ世界ノ歌" when???)
sometimes i wish i forgot about this game and play it again...i love this game somuch,,,the story,plot,theme music,graphis ang every thing
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh finally, so hyped to see this reaction. Nier is truly smth different
The song in the resistance camp always gets me emotional
As a former glockenspiel enjoyer, I felt EXTREMELY nervous when there was a concert and I saw I had a solo. One mistake and I panic. Even just ad libitumed my own rests, lol
Keeping the Nier theme and close to the amusement park... Do "A beautiful song" next 🙏
Yes please
despite how intricate it all sounds, it is still background music. so it is intended to loop.
Brilliant game. It's sad it came out at the same time as Persona 5, because you can't have 2 games winning best music of the year
Meh, they are meaningless awards
Meh, they are meaningless awards
Nier Automata has one of the best ost in gaming.
You would definitely get a kick listening to "a Beautiful Song" from this ost
It's cool to see you digging into Nier music. Funny enough Amusement Park is one of the few songs not actually composed by the credited composer Keiichi Okabe.
Should do the entire soundtrack
Great reaction as always! You should react to weight of the world( japanese ) or grandma from nier
"Lyrics gets in the way sometimes" 💯

OST de Nier é sempre excelente.
Should definitely check out more NieR:Automata, so good!
My favorite track in this OST is Memories of Dust. Please DO check that one out!
This music was pretty magical for me, this was after time and time again you're fighting a bunch of hostile robots in a post apocolyptic world, and you're expecting more fighting when you're entering this place, but instead you're greeted by a bunch of robots performing like you're being pulled into an alice in wonderland carnival, truly magical, made me take it slow and explore the place, one of the best experience I had having my expectations twisted for the better.
"NieR:Automata" and "Gravity Rush" man.... these games have such unbelievably great music!
Love your S&D hat
So fun fact that I'm sure 1000 other people have said the same, but they 100% agree with you on the lyrics. That's why Emi created Chaos language for NieR, to have the lyrics be a part of the music more and not be understood by anyone
es perfecto 🧐🤌
best game i ever played, is perfection in all senses
I often find vocals add a lot to music even if I don't understand them. Or rather, you can understand vocals without understanding the words.
nier automata in the game and the anime have the very good soundtrack
I’m so happy he’s doing NieR
You really need to Listen to Pascals Village and Weight of the World next. Especially the latter is soooo beautifully composed
Nier franchise OST is one of the best OSt's in gaming so thanks for more Nier music reactions! :D
Ah, Automata is a music masterpiece, City Ruins it's still my favorite, even though you hear that one *a lot* throughout the game, it's has different variations too!
I would love your reaction to A Beautiful Song or Weight of the World
I recommend grandma-destruction is one of my favorites nier ost
Best part is you don’t have to interpret the lyrics because it’s “chaos language” in 99% of Nier songs. There is no translation, the lyrics are the notes from the singer and nothing more just like another instrument.
man Nier has some insane music
This is probably the best game I've ever played besides Persona 5 (which also has an amazing soundtrack) and this song is one of my favs besides Pascal and City Ruins
años despues de que disney quebrara y cerrara sus puertas para siempre los exploradores urbanos exploramos sus ruinas y contemplamos lo que una ves fue un gran imperio mirabamos con nostalgia tristesa lo que una ves estubo lleno de vida y felicidad ahora solo hay ruina y abandono por todas partes y mientras me pregunto. mientras suena la musica de fondo como es que todo acabo asi?
So nice that when you buy this soundtrack, you get a free game :)
I showed him a Beautiful song on stream :)
Stumbled upon the channel cuz I wanted to see if music singers/players/etc have been reacing to nier. Hope you can play shadowlord, and a few other ones.
Ayo Summit2G went the producer road 💜
Best track in the game. All versions.
Beautiful and kaines salvation are mandatory city ruins II dynamic is a suggestion
Please do the song of the ancients as well, and shadowlord, incomplete stone, wretched weaponry and wretched automatons. Etc
We allk ow why this game won the Best OST award in 2017.
Nier has one of the best soundtracks, but in my opinion NieR Replicant has the best ones
Replicant, or Replicant sqrt1.5? Cause I'm very much partial to the original
@@hundvd_7 The remake game
@@hundvd_7 I've only played √1.5, how much different is the original soundtrack?
Calm sleep 穏ヤカナ眠リ is a really nice automata song
Lets goooo
A Beautiful Song next, please
I have been listening to this song for a while now and I didn't know that language in the song wasn't even real lol I'm also someone that prefers melody over lyrics so I didn't care to much of that.
Also I wished you could react to some Persona 3 OST I think it's great
delving deeper into the Realm of Nier soundtrack Is pure musical Bliss. Hope You'll make more from Nier my man, Cheers
More Nier music is a must. Also would recommend FF13 trilogy, specifically 13-2. That OST is banger start to finish.
