NieR Replicant ver.1.22 - Devola & Popola: Song of the Ancients - Duet in the Tavern

Devola and Popola singing the Song of the Ancients in the tavern at the end of the side quest "The Ballad of the Twins"

Standing in that tavern and listening to them sing just makes you think: "At this exact moment, I am okay, and I want it to last for a short while. Everything is fine."

This was the most worth while fetch/trading quest of all time. Especially if you'd never heard this track before.

[@daniel-joseph-davies9823]

I think this was the reward for doing all the side quests in the first half of the game as I'm pretty sure this side quest won't show until you've beaten all the other ones. Sad the second half doesn't have a reward like this. just money to buy all the weapons that are only acquirable in shops I believe.

I've been playing games for a long time, longer than you would believe. What an excellent reward for a side quest, arguably the most elegant and delicate ballad in the RPG genre. Popola and Devola, the twins, in a mesmerizing duet. Just love it....

[@KonniWynn]

For all the questions regarding the unseen instruments... y'all know how Weiss is "magic"? He just has audio output. Where does he know the song from? Well he should anyways, so... there you go.

[@efficientlylazy0]

Easily the best fetch quest of all time. Totally worth, I sat and listened to this for a long time. Such a great track

[@rkr9861]

It's interesting that the reward for the best fetch quest gives you no loot, no tangible item, and nothing you can use on any other part of the game. It's an experience, and one that only appears this one time. I wonder if that's why it feels so special.

[@Densoro]

God, the point where they cut the song off for this mix adds so much suspense, once you've heard the full thing. That lingering 'keizha~' without breaking into the next verse. I'm still sad about this leitmotif 12 years later.
