The Beauty of NieR: Automata's Soundtrack

Nier Automata is one of my favorite games of all time, with my favorite OST of all time. This video will go into exactly why and how it achieves that title.

Normally in my videos I have the ending stuff talking about channel and things, but I thought this ended perfectly so I'm gonna include that stuff here. This video took WAY longer than it should of, and it's mainly because of laziness and Monster Hunter World. My next video should be out in a shorter amount of time than this, but I can't promise nothing. What I CAN promise though, is that the channel MrClemps is who I'm gonna shill today. Yeah he's a much bigger channel than mine, but whatever. He makes Nier analysis, Drakengard Analysis, and random JRPG videos. Fun fact, my Gitaroo Man video and the structure of that, was HEAVILY inspired by his videos. He's working on the last apart of his Automata analysis, and the other parts are PHENOMENAL. Here's the link to his channel. kzbin.info Anyways, I had a TON of fun making this video, as Nier Automata is a truly inspirational game to me.I really hope this video reflects truly how much this soundtrack and game means to me. Thanks for watching!

[@TuningAnApple]

Amazing video. I alway love seeing someone genuinely appreciating the Nier series!!! Edit: Adding that Emil's storyline flows with his track very well, and it's just a devastating story.

[@bananr_manr1789]

I still have yet to play this game, so i’m gonna postpone watching this until then.Keep up the good work though, your videos are really well put together!

[@vinnysuperg123]

Completely fine by me!

[@ryanmalleck9184]

It doesn't matter how many times I hear Weight of the World, I always get chills and watery eyes. Something about that song in particular sticks with you. Even though I only understood the English part, you can tell in the other languages that they're all singing about the same thing: hope despite despair. And when those La's kick in? I get CHILLS. EVERY. TIME. The La's are the most important part of the song: everyone coming together under the same banner of hope. It's highlighted by the lines in the song that says they're going to "shout it loud, even if our words sound meaningless." The words DO sound meaningless, but those who went on that journey through NieR and NieR: Automata know that there is a deep meaning behind those words. All in all, Weight of the World will and should go down in history, at least for me, as one of the most impactful and meaningful songs ever written.

[@SirSvotter]

Well said. I'm just crying hearing this song again, I can't stop, it's magical.

[@jakqatif]

This game .. These themes ..... are so up there Words describes less of how much I love this game After leaving gaming for like 15 years and this game is the first one for me to have !!!, it's just magical I hold this game special in my heart

[@ElFriCoo]

Nier Automata OST is a masterpiece itself, thanks Keiichi Okabe for this amazing music, and thanks for your video, great content.

[@YorchAF]

es bueno verte por aqui, realmente me hace sentir que de verdad este juego esta conectado a personas del mundo

[@jaymeister26]

This video should have more views. Great video and very good analysis, Probably my favorite narrative and OST in any video game! ggs

[@DormBrand]

With ending E you're literally "killing" the representation of the staff to get to your good ending and yet they still sing on the chorus, they still cheer you on. That was such an amazing moment. I am crying again just thinking about it. Also: Amazing video, you really managed to put the reason Nier has such an amazing soundtrack into words.

[@NintendoCade]

You said it perfectly. Fantastic video expressing your feeling and thoughts on Nier Automata’s music.

[@44444444443333333222]

Another beautiful essay, per usual. I hope your message gets received by many other players, who struggled through Ending E.

[@morriganrenfield8240]

It’s my favorite video game, and likely my favorite art piece I’ve ever experienced, nier automata. And it is ABSOLUTELY in large part due to the mastery that keiichi okabe and his studio displayed when they worked with yoko taro on this masterpiece.

[@KeyToWite]

The very fact that at the ending E all those players who can help you have sacrificed their save's, in order just to help a random person out there makes this moment much more greater,and only makes you realise after you do it yourself,a bit of a shame that you didn't mention it in the video. But it was great nonetheless,you deserve a lot much more attention and subscribers.

[@rRekko]

This was the only game i've beaten which i didn't archive a copy of the save file, i actually did 100% two times just to archive a save file before i uninstalled it. (Yes, i do keep 100% saves from all the games i've beaten, it's like my little trophy collection)

[@popeofrei4124]

The nier automata soundtrack is fr so good... the Replicant one as well. I, to this day, almost and sometimes do start crying hearing them. I even bought the Vinyl collectors box for them

[@Soundaholic92]

During the BECOME AS GODS sequence the torches flare up in sync with the music. Another small touch I absolutely adore

[@Iconami100]

I can see you're channel growing to become a beautiful thing keep being yourself and doing videos appreciate ya and God bless ya

[@YorchAF]

you made my eyes on tears with that sincere opinion on the weight of the world, i got the same feel right there, you got my suscribe and my like bro

[@arturoporraz6046]

1:50 BRUUUUUUUUHHHHH So there is people like that...

[@s69-5]

I've walked the same road as you. In the end, fight for what you believe in. - s69-5 Canada

[@hohnsenhoff]

I don't remember why I subscribed to you but I'm glad I did because this was a great video

[@MrMarmur40]

we need nier automatas soundtrack composers to to make all the background music for other games

[@paulnoell39]

That red haired woman probably doesn’t even know what separates an RPG from a JRPG. Heathen.

[@orimonochrome7902]

I've played a few and listened to alot of music in JRPG/RPGs and honestly the Nier franchise to me has such a unique tone and sound, it's one of the reasons why it's one of my favourite games. When she said that I was trying not to be rude but yes HEATHEN

[@acoolnameemm]

im listening to the Copied City theme (best non-combat ost, fucking fight me) to fall asleep faster because its just too good

[@acoolnameemm]

NieR Automata is so fucking good and i love it so much that i watched through the english voice actor of 9S (Kyle... something) play through the original NieR just so that i could enjoy NieR Automata even more

[@currentlybeingremade9706]

As someone who copes with pain by going to Emils secret place is Is just.. I love Nier So so much Hearing someone diss that music really just.. hurts. It hurts my soul. It feels like its insulting how I feel. Also Replicant ver 1.22 is out, anyway yeah.. Nier has super good music and its something I adore I adore it so much I bought the disks

[@TheRainbowthunder]

YES HE IS BACK WITH MORE CONTENT

[@vincdraws4742]

I kid you not I still cry a bit after all this time when I hear this song in english

[@joarddelagarza5779]

Ironically your not the only one who feels this way...and I'm 39

[@tommoss5308]

Still love pascals village, the opera boss, and which ever one has the line about being one girl

[@JimmySentence]

Earned a new sub brother

[@jacklomas4218]

Played the shit out of automata and playing through my 2nd run of nier. Can honestly say played nothing like it and automata is one of the best games I've ever played.

[@potatoeSSB]

you make good videos

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

So little subs for so much talent

[@darciheadswillroll]

Damn honestly soundtrack is second to story for meand gameplay is third (OK ik I'm weird), why I love bloodborne, Isaac, persona , and it makes me feel great, I've never wanted to buy a game and soundtrack (simultaneously) but imma do it soon, thanks

[@yuuuutsusaiban]

BECOME AS GODS

[@alfa01cesar]

Thank you & glory to mankind

[@snuffles-]

thank you so much for this video. i swear as soon as i heard weight of the world come on i started balling my eyes out. god this game made me such a bitch lmao Edit: it's been like 20 minutes and I can't fucking stop crying, this game has ruined me

[@ОвочеваБаза]

top 10 reasons why OG NieR soundtrack is better than Automata's one: 1. Shadowlord 2. Snow in summer And another 8 tracks designed to burn your heart and turn your soul into a emotional wasteland after realising what you've done. I love Automata with all my heart, but it's just not out here to emotionally destroy us as the OG did.

[@vinnysuperg123]

You know if I could take back one thing about this video, it would be me saying that Automata's OST is straight up better that NieR's OST. While I still think Weight of the World is the best ever, I think both soundtracks are equal in quality. I can't choose one over the other honestly.

[@JPTQJR]

What's your opinion on the Drakengard series aka Nier's predecessor series?

[@r-saint]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@Lauren-nk1ou]

Nier Automata has the best soundtrack I've ever heard in my life hands down don't even @ me

[@trevorveillette8415]

I'm @ing you and I agree with you

[@Roque023]

Bro...

[@zhoupact8567]

The nier games are among my favorite too. Although I have not played the first one and did not get a third of the way into the 2nd one. >.> I do happen to LOVE drakengard. ... I have a love hate relationship with the 2nd game not being dark enough and the 3rd game I found to try too hard to be the dark like the first one. But the 3rd game still rocks... although again I have not played that one. o_o'

[@Max_G4]

Well, for Drakengard 2, Yoko Taro was left out from the development completely, so maybe that's why

[@Kirill-Ivanov2002]

What about the Devil May Cry series?

[@vinnysuperg123]

WAY better gameplay than NieR, but I like this game more for different reasons. Trust me though, I LOVE me some Devil May Cry.

[@vinnisvidya]

hello there

[@Iconami100]

69 views nice

[@OoXLR8oO]

Ehh, I mean, I came here to get an impression of the game’s OST but I ain’t impressed.

[@vinnysuperg123]

I mean I said it in the video. Automatas OST is just generic JRPG music.

[@OoXLR8oO]

vinnysuperg123 Not gonna lie, I’m impressed that the music changes based on what you’re doing in real-time, but at the end of the day, I could be playing Legend of Zelda and I wouldn’t know the difference.
