Here is the rest of the NieR Replicant journey. I'm extremely proud of this video and glad I took the time I did on it despite some people being a little too impatient in my direct messages (plz dont do this lol)
I put so much care and thought into this and having to sit through my playthrough and relive the game all over again was emotional, and solidified that this is truly one of the favourite games I have played so far in my life.

Thanks for the vídeo! Is there any chance of sharing that Ashes Of Dreams cover of yours? We will love to see it !!

Воу. А я всё думал, когда же. Надеялся и терпеливо ожидал. Потрясающая серия игр и изумительная серия роликов...хотелось бы ещё, но...даже не знаю...позволит ли Square Enix нашему многоуважаемому Yoko Taro sensei, создать ещё один шедевр в серии игр NieR. Или хотя бы сделать ремейк серии Drakengard (он же Drag-on Dragoon). Кстати о нём, очень советую пройти Drakengard 3. Ведь он, в конце концов, был приквелом к серии игр NieR. Ну и я не могу порекомендовать пройти первую часть Drakengard ибо она очень старая и её геймплей не выдерживает абсолютно никакой критики по современным стандартам, но могу порекомендовать ознакомиться с сюжетом первой части, ведь она имеет прямое отношение к NieR Replicant. P. S. Интересный факт. В оригинальной версии NieR Replicant для Play Station 3, можно было сперва убить Гретель вместо Гензеля и Пополу вместо Деволы и кат сцены были бы немного другими. Но при этом, в ней не было сегмента с кораблём (Луизой - она же Русалка) и пятой концовки за Кайне (как и геймплея за неё в целом).

@frankielollia, now that you have finished the games, you can react to clemps lore videos! You're gonna love it trust me

Ohhhhhhh my very pagesss!!!! Yes, yes, yes,..... Good days are here. Definitely not gonna watch in one go. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from India !!!!!!!!

[@sciguy98]

A friend recently finished Automata and I asked her, "Ok, when are you going to start the sad Nier game?" She was taken aback, "wait, Automata isn't the sad one?!"

[@Hunter0327]

Yes yes yes

[@lumpcrittergravy]

Oh how adorable

[@cruzzosanchezzo9632]

Please we need an update

[@kungfuvoodoo9889]

I mean all games in the Taro-verse are sad

[@vdinh143]

I will feel for Emil for as long as I live. The boy continued to live on for tens of thousands of years, fighting against the alien invasion until he couldn't remember even himself, all to protect this world that his friends lived in.

[@NinosThighs]

It's actually a copy of himself that forgot the original Emil's past

[@impaler331]

It's possible but u likely the original is alive. Automota Emil said he has no idea where he is so not a definite dead but he also said he can die and respawn indefinitely so I'm not sure what that means like is the reincarnated Emil different than a copied emil​? Like a reincarnated Emil would keep her memories before while reincarnated maybe only knows things only after the copy @@NinosThighs

[@CCTVnerd]

He doesn't remember himself when you fight him at the end, but he still remembers Kaine ;_;

[@itsdokko2990]

Like, no joke, both Replicant and Automata helped me cure my depression, and holy shit, feeling emotions again is the best experience one could feel. Watching Frankie endure all that emotional damage made me remember why i love these games so damn much. Screw you!, and also Thank you Yoko Taro...

[@frankielollia]

I relate to this deeply, I played both those games at some of the lowest moments of my life and it helped me process so many complex emotions I was feeling at the time. I'm glad it helped you as well!

[@thaori8019]

There's a story that tells what happened to the P-33 after the events of the game, it's called "the fire of prometheus", and it was probably this robot that caused the machines in NieR Automata to stop fighting.

[@pezdispencer113]

That's the same story from 9S's first storybook section. The robot was P33 and was the one that gave emotions to the machines.

[@christiantaylor1495]

​@@pezdispencer113Is that the Forrest King?

[@pezdispencer113]

@@christiantaylor1495 No, the storybook sections of the 9S playthrough. The very first one in the desert when you are about to reach the apartments. The book talks about a volcano erupting and a god emerging. It was the Junkheap with P33 escaping it after the events of RepliCant. The section is called 'Spirit of Fire'. It's also a short story from some Drakengard 3 additional material.

[@daygel5513]

i watched a whole 6+ hour video to know that. The story has so many more beautiful details that the games don't mention, its much more deeper than I thought I love it

[@celfhelp]

"this game is doing damage and repair at the same time" is probably the most concise description of Yoko Taro's M.O. that you can get

[@mectainea5575]

It’s finally done guys, the Nier video is real it exists.

[@Lolleman255]

this is exactly what ive been waiting for

[@jackgerambo]

​@@Lolleman255 Let's go!!!!!!!!!! In the name of Weiss and Kaine's bad mouthing. Let's go!!!!!!!

Never forget: The King of Facade is the realest bro in any game ever. Rest easy with Fyra, you absolute legend 🫡

[@bySkriK]

Automata was amazing, but Replicant will be stuck forever on my head. Truly an incredible and unique experience

[@trevorveillette8415]

Automata is the one that really stuck in my head between these 2 games. Automata leaves such a strong impression with route C. Its one of the only times a game has really shocked me and left me speechless. Automata route C feels exactly like shadowlords castle sequence except for the length of an entire route. It's non stop emotional pain train and plot/character development. The icing on the cake is that the side material/lore for automata is actually written and made to work extremely well in the game once you have knowledge of it. Makes it feel like the game and side materials were both written with each other kept in mind. I did get spoiled on quite a few things before going into replicant (by fans rather than automatas own reveals), but this new ending E sequence was completely new to me and it was definitely my favorite part of replicant (funny since it's more like automata). It was just so so so cool seeing automatas style, influence and "callbacks" dripping and seaping in as you progress through the tree. I was weirded out fighting the kaine robot clones, but the MOMENT I saw those white blocks leading to that little doorway I let out an audible "no fucking way" I proceeded to have a happiness attack and got giddy like a child when I walked passed that door. From there you can guess just how ecstatic I was going through this sequence. Ending E was a great gift for replicant fans. But with the amount of fanservice for automata fans, I'm almost inclined to say that it was an even more spectacular gift to automata fans. All around amazing sequence. Still wish I could skip route C, but ending E is just so damn good

[@dighad3824]

Both. Both is great

[@ChanchodTierra]

I wish i could erase all memories of this game and have the experience all over again - said by all players after a full playthrough of a Nier game

[@mesasone2280]

Watching other people suffer through it for the first time is the next best thing.

[@BillNyeGuy]

Man the wolves part still hurts me so much. I played this game shortly after losing my 🐶 and that part hurt. These games and emotional pain but I can’t stop playing or thinking about them.

[@wongnexus7716]

When Rock says grandfather.....I cried in past. After my grandfather passed away, my damage is more now

[@kyrolazioko4783]

You have such great voice replicating skills. As I was reading along, and you started to talk, I thought it was actually Emil and Kainé's voices. Then I saw it was you and was surprised. Even after knowing it was you, it still got me a couple times later lol.

[@Lazypackmule]

HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUCH A GOOD VOICE ACTOR, WHAT

[@zaftnotameni]

she's crying and broken... then switches to perfect pristine in-character voice acting... really crazy talent

[@luvstrucc2131]

I THOUGHT IT WAS VOICELINES IN GAME AND THEN REALIZED SHE WAS READING IT AND WAS BLOWN SO FUCKING FAR AWAY.

[@MediaMeister]

"The tears and feelings. A gameplay feature" -Yoko Taro (Probably)

[@MrRushfanatic]

One of the most intense experiences of my life. I felt so empty after finishing Nier Replicant and Automata and acknowledged even more how it is to feel alive. Everybody should played or at least know these masterpieces. Everyone who played and understood Nier, can relate to your emotional reactions Frankie ❤

[@takanuvabosconovitch6072]

time for Drakengard 3 huh

[@bruh5073]

​@@takanuvabosconovitch6072yay 10fps gameplay

[@pierreissop3551]

u know a game is built different when even the saddest story wont make u tear up and here i watched contless time that ending and still have water in the eyes .

[@elChirrinChirriondelDiablo]

This game always gets me, I get teary eyes every time. Nier is something special, something VERY special.

[@TheDeathNoteNear]

God. What happens to Kalil is the most guilt I've ever felt in a game.

[@sierratuazon]

MALPHIER IS THE ARTIST YOU COMMISSIONED?! I'm a huge fan of their work, this video is fantastic, 10000/10, thank you for supporting such amazing artists and thank you for your hard work on this absolutely amazing video!

[@Joeindimension]

Completely worth the wait. Edit: also her Kaine impression was excellent

[@VTWS]

Yeah I was surprised, really captured her tone

[@IchigoKurosaki911]

Between that and the Emile impersination i think she has a career in v/o if she wanted to

[@andrelucca3369]

The voice acting in the visual novel-ish parts was amazing. The Nier Franchise is really one of the best pieces of art I´ve ever experienced in my life

[@Locaneo]

Thanks so much for playing, understanding and crying with us with you.

[@min1gun97]

1:58:28 "Everytime I think that game has gine to another level, how can it go further? and it goes beyond and even further" Yeap, thats perfect description of Nier games!

[@Rubix78]

Youre voice acting is amazing. Glad this finally got posted, worth the wait 😢

[@stephenkern7503]

Holy shit, I'd never seen anything after ending E before, that was absolutely insane, thank you so much for playing Frankie, it was worth the wait in every way.

[@TrooperSixtyFour]

i'm always so amazed by your emil voice, i think it's the game every time

[@dankmeemo3464]

I think the fact you have to put your name on the hero and answer "who is the person your cherish" by your proper name means a LOT for yourself in this game.

[@princessLINDAA.]

This was 100000000% worth the wait!! 😆🩵 Your editing is incredible as always, and watching you repeatedly take emotional damage is always a good time, LOOOL 😂🩵 Malphier's artwork being featured was such a surprise, but I loved that extra touch! 🥺🩵 ALSO, I STILL CAN'T GET OVER HOW SPOT-ON YOUR EMIL VOICE IS 👏👏👏 Thank you so much for putting this all together!! 🥺🩵🩵🩵 (Also, I totally agree that the third playthrough with a little bit of a drag to get through, but the fourth made it all totally worth it in the end!! 😆)

[@ialtog]

1:39:30 omg i never realised they removed both ray chase + zach aguilar's credits in ending D because of that 😭 LMFAO

[@FR0ZeN_FoCUS]

This was awesome, and the arts and animations were great!

[@mexlilaofoda8864]

I waited for so long for this video , and worth every single day. Thank you for this beautiful moments you gave me!

[@Asbjornen]

I am swapping back and forth between playing the game myself and watching you play, and I just gotta say that your impersonation of Kainé and Emil is blowing me away. Literally had to do double takes to see if that was actually you or the game 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@Kirbyluver2]

still not over her emil voice

[@DatedSandwich]

I very much relate to your desire to experience this game again for the first time. This game means so much to me, and the art you had commissioned is incredible!

[@DragonL]

Brilliant edit, thank you so much for sharing. It was very validating and I enjoyed suffering through the story with you again (possibly the best/only way to relive the moments)

[@disenfranchised2.073]

It shows how much you put into this and how much you respect the story. Good job and Best wishes! 😀❤

[@88Cdizzle]

"You've not time to become lost in your thoughts" "Right, okay, LETS GET HIM BACK!" Literal tears when I played and experienced this.

[@vladmarmelad_131]

I don't belive it's finally happening)) Thank you! That was a great journey. I cried at ending B almost the same way. This game is remarkable.

[@AvanToor]

The Laura Bailey impression is spot on!

[@apotionforlove]

i relate SO MUCH to wanting to be able to play this game for the first time again, what a masterpiece. bawlled my eyes off playing and watching these videos, nier replicant has no business being this emotional like holy crap yoko taro fr both giving us depression and curing our depression at the same time also your voices for BOTH email and kainé are insanely good i was shocked the whole time, great video! thanks for letting people experience this story again with you, reactions make it a bit fresh again its fun and second best thing since we cant just play as if its the first time again, we live vicariously thru you haha

[@ThomasVvV]

I think this video and Part 1 are the best videos about this game ever. Thank you so much!

[@henyvieira]

17:19 i finished Automata in the last week, and this song "kaine/salvation" everytime breaks me in the heart, because the "gathering keepsakes" sidequest of automata. And Lunar Tears are very emotional to me.... Now im playing the replicant too, and finished the A ending just now.. Thanks for the reactions. Its good to know that im not Alone with my tears.

[@jojolaivas3532]

Thank you for the wonderful video, Frankie, and for the chance at reliving my favorite piece of fiction of all time together with you!

[@pitchysadistic]

Ooooohhhhh yes I've been waiting for this! Also: emotional damage :) Edit: btw your Laura Bailey voice is really good

[@olldo23]

Really enjoyed watching you complete your playthrough! Replicant truly is a special game. No matter how many times I see many of those cutscenes, they still get me! Glad you enjoyed it so much.

[@Renoistic]

Now imagine playing the original which did not have the final scenario where you play as Kaine. The Lunar Tear at the title screen was the only evidence Nier existed. It REALLY felt like a sacrifice. But it also was fun playing the remake and seeing the Automata tie-in.

[@donq4483]

The routes of NieR Replicant are the equivalent of Route A: I killed them! All of them! And not just the men, but the women and the children too! THEY'RE ANIMALS! Route B: *WHAT HAVE I DONE?*

[@rayventronstudios]

Route C : YOU TURNED HER AGAINST ME

[@nicholasholladay-elser7307]

Yeah, my nick name for Route B is 'Do you feel like an A-hole yet?' route.

[@Treminiel]

Thanks to you it is like i relived this game once more (and cryed my eyes out again, lol). Your emotions, your expression, your beauty, your flawless voice acting, your jokes, your compassion and empathy towards heroes... All these were absolutely amazing. And thanks for putting extra arts - they are truly catching and suited extremely well. You are magnificent. Thank you.

[@CodieHix]

The nier verse is my all time favorite. So happy i stumbled upon your playthroughs, makes me feel like im experiencing everything again for the first time.

[@boysenbeary]

There’s lore that suggests that the events of Replicant and Automata lead to those in Drakenguard, and vice versa. A time loop.

[@xtrance25]

This game affected me in just the same way as it did for you. Still crying like a baby whenever i play it 🥰😍😭❤❤❤

[@jmh8817]

Holy macaroni the immersive mode was something I wasn't expecting. Great stuff! Props to you and Malphier both.

[@LuisPerez-nx2hm]

This video is all I didn’t know I needed. Your reaction through all the ups and down in the story were the best way I’ve ever seen someone play it since I my own you get sis did. Thank you. It was a great ride!

[@notkurumi]

1:13:20 I can't everytime I see it just completely destroys me. Ending B is just perfect

[@sujaewa]

The ending C from Replicant destroyed me for real.... Watching it again is making me cry again :(

[@Dracobyte]

Wow, the editing on this video is incredible! And your reactions were genuine, thanl you for your hard work.

[@uirarodrigues8935]

The feeling I had when completing this game was a feeling that I will never be able to feel something like that again. As Yoko Taro said, ''I'm happy to be sad"

[@anubisftn]

AMAZING! So worth the wait! Thanks for sharing and putting in all the effort!

[@adrianschmit8991]

Fantastic video, thanks. There are bits of this story that I cannot watch without tearing up, no matter how many times I've seen them. Overall, I slightly prefer Nier Automata as it does the repetition thing a bit better, but both are masterpieces of story telling. Kaine is my all time favourite video game character, though (and I do have a hankering to call someone a "f**k-waffle").

[@eternalsugarhigh6843]

Completely worth the wait, Malphier's additions phenomenally elevated the mood

[@youcool6185]

It's incredible how accurate she is when it's about doing Emil's voice ... like ayo , it's litterally the same voice

[@YOUARE337]

Even I finished the whole game, I still watched almost the whole gameplay again. NieR series is such a masterpiece. The storyline, the music, all make it perfect.

[@asadaltaf3114]

Finally OMG Been waiting for this for a very long time Love you frankie ❤️❤️

[@spaghettibird5135]

I adore the Emil impression

[@CaptainKreepingDeath]

Fantastic videos. Well worth the wait The Nier series are some of the best games I've ever played. I even platinumed the original Nier in the leadup to the release of Replicant, and I wondered if it would hit even close to the same once I started going through the remaster. Cue ending E, and I'm weeping like I only ever have before at ending E of Automata. These games are truly special

[@JamiePikuyak-vr9hm]

You are an adorable gamer. I especially like where you danced along Popola I’m glad I get to watch you through this emotional game and feel the way I felt when playing it

[@alwynjaegar1778]

Frankie: What if i press no, does it send me back to the choice... Yoko taro: No!.... you made your choice 'twists knife in deeper' with a kiss 😂

[@darthnox7958]

WOW, I found your channel(by finding the previous video) a couple of days ago and was kinda disappointed there wasn't a part 2, I'm extremely glad I found the video when I found it! Finished replicant myself a couple of days ago as well and I'm no playing automata, I'll surely check your automata video when I completely finish it!

[@YoRHa1442]

I was waiting for it a long time Many thanks

[@reiizayoi3376]

Random stranger says : loved your journey from start to finish. Also amazing characters impressions ♥

[@leornassilva]

Thank you so much for this video, really. i'm finished this game some days ago and i really wanted someone to share my experience with and talk about the game, but anyone of my friends play or have interesting in this game or automata, and see you playing and have the same reactions and emotions for the game, i felt like i could share my emotions for this amazing game, Thank you again 🌹

[@MaajidM]

Finally. You have become the Nier: Replicant

[@Bantolo-kc6do]

Your emil voice is just amazing deer❤

[@zaftnotameni]

most incredible story telling in a game ever

[@raehex9092]

I'm so glad that the KZbin algorithm brought your channel back around because I loved the prior playthrough videos, and my god the video art from Malphier makes this so much more powerful. This game changed my life and absolutely broke me and I'm so glad to see so many other people truly appreciate the absolutely harrowing and beautiful story.

[@codex8678]

both NieR Replicant and NieR Automata for my are the best game/story/music of all time

[@futanahriadventures]

I just rewatched your part 1 just so i could catch up to this. And i can say, without a doubt, thank you for this part 2, Frankie. The amount of love, dedication and respect you put on this is truly astonishing. The resonating reactions and care, the edits, the amount of work you and Malphier put is impressive. Every scene integrated with his art literally sent a chill down my spine. It feels like a reexperience of this game all over again. I’ve played this back in the ps3 as dadNieR, than later on as this remake. This game (and later on Automata) shapped my rpg gaming experience, my taste in music and so on. And this video is truly truly special.

[@mehmettekeli5706]

Watching this while NieR Re[in]carnation grinds itself in the background. Feels good.

[@TRaptorful]

I am SO happy to finally see this!! Too bad I missed it 12 days ago...! This game is pure suffering in the best, most human way, and I will forever cherish it as such. Few games will ever make me feel the ways that Nier has made me feel, and it is so special for that. I'm glad you were able to experience this masterpiece, you have such a kind heart for it to touch you as much as it did. Stay strong, no more crying(ok, maybe not that), and live with a smile on your face! A certain skull-headed boy would ask you to do the same.

[@BussyBachelor]

subscribed, thumbsed up, and turned on the bell BECAUSE you were willing to lose your save data for kaine. i went in blind and also lost all my save data for her on my first attempt at that decision not knowing i could get it back so huge respect to you

[@cleduc5059]

I probably commented this somewhere before, but this game is easily in my top 3 games.

There's somethin' in my eye.

[@fabian_182x]

I absolutely love your videos of the Nier saga, thanks for everything

[@RAWowner333]

I KNOW there's a lot of time but i feel like a scene missing is when p33 tries to fly away so he and kalil can be free. i also thougth that it would be too difficult to try to input the extra content into one video lol, hence why it took so long. but i'm really glad to finally see your reactions to the full nier franchise. you stated what i've been trying to tell ppl since i first saw the original nier replicant/gestalt release... EVERYONE needs to play and experience the NieR games. and this is the ONE game i wish i could experience again for the first time, as you also stated. thank you again for your videos!

[@trilechedelarosa4898]

poor woman she is 90% tears now and she make EPIC EMIL VOICE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[@vierkantig]

the only video game that made my cry about a book... and ofc a lot more... alone the music now makes me tear up wish I had the forget thing from MIB to replay the game over and over with fresh memory

[@inspectorwhoreacts]

I LITERALLY FINISHED THE FIRST VIDEO wondering if the rest would ever show up and LOW AND BEHOLD

[@BIGBASCH]

I remember preordering this game and taking vacation just to play it, because I loved Automata so much. It destroyed me so hard I was asked if I was okay even after my vacation

[@quiescence678]

Insane timing on this. The first vid came up on my recommended list last night and I thought "You know what, I fancy watching somebody suffer through this game, lets give it a watch" then got to the end like "Wait, she only played it up to here!? And there isn't a follow up? Ehhhhh". And now, 24 hours after that this video appears. Unbelievable. Loved experiencing this whole game again through the lens of somebody else. And your Emil was spot on, genuinely had to double take when I saw your mouth in sync with it. 4 hours and 26 mins well spent, I'd say!

[@winterTripic]

Anyone else been looking forward to this for a looooooong time?

[@Sergio-fw3ez]

Thanks for the video, it felt like I was reliving the experience of the game all over again. Now you just have to play Nier automata again and fight Emil

[@solidsnakeneo]

The effort you put here is incredible! THANK YOU!

[@CralexKokiri]

Thanks for the video! It makes me want to say something poetic about how I'd forgotten about the series just like Nier was forgotten, but it was just as sweet to finally see it... But I'm just too freaking tired right now to bother. 😉
