Tbh, i love Gestalt, in all of its janky glory. Grumpy Nier just plays so well off of Kaine and Weiss. And the idea of ||A father trying to save his daughter|| is just so much more compelling to me than a Brother, though that is just my feelings on it. But i disagree that the narrative is "vastly" catered toward Brother Nier. The narrative of Nier makes much more sense and has a much higher emotional impact with Gestalt than Replicant. SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . . . . . FINAL WARNING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Just look at Emil's transformation scene, Kaine's reawakening, or Kaine's confrontation at the end. It all just flows so much better with Father Nier. Plus Nier and Weiss bickering like an old married couple is *chef kiss*

I too think that father Nier is overall a better character and makes the game experience better as well. but as some things work so much smoother with Papa Nier, some don't. not that much, at least. think of Devola and Popola: they're parental figures for both Yonah and Brother, while for Papa they're mostly like... friends? also they're twins, and the games revolves a lot on the "siblings relationship" theme. think of the blacksmith and his younger brother who both live near the junkyard. moreover, the latter one "grows out" alone after his older brother's death; exactly like young Nier. and, you know, they both become kinda obsessed over something due to the loss. in any case, I do think Papa Nier is still better. it wasn't in the original Yoko Taro's script, but he definitely fits better in the overall narrative, even despite the inconsistencies aforementioned. I would love an update for the remake that makes you choose which one to impersonate, but sadly that just won't happen

@@InktheImpassive People always bring the "We're friends now" moment, but with Papa Nier I've never interpreted that in the same manner as the scene with Brother Nier. Like, that scene comes across as naive with Brother Nier, like he was genuinely talking about being friends, like anime protagonists and all the baggage that entails. Papa Nier has the simple virtue of being older. That changes the context of the scene, even if it is identical. We are seeing not a naive boy, but a husband that lost his wife, has a dying daughter that he barely sees due to trying to find a cure for her, and is seeing someone basically give up life in front of his eyes. I don't interpret that as a genuine friendship speech, but more like a desperate attempt at stopping someone he barely know to stop giving up living.

Personally I I find the new version better in just about every way. Specially the gameplay. I was never really a big fan of old man nier. And mad af when I learned the Japanese version was the intended version, and featured a different character, that i found out gets cooler after a time. I suppose they made the right call considering it seems most people prefer the old man. I've always preferred the original vision of someone's work over somthing that's been...revised. Kaine looks so beautiful in the new version. She was fine in the old one. But I think this new one really brings out the artists Visage of her. Same for nier. Epically when he ages. His design is badass. I'm glad they changed his durpy hair also lol. Music. I'm good either or. Both are just some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard.

1 year later: The combat is still horrible to the point of boredom and loss of momentum especially the jack of hearts fight and I really feel like Gestalt had much better feels and made more sense. In the modern era kaine is more acceptable to a lot of people that's good. But watching grown women offer themselves an underage boy over and eover again in every town and location is a bit disturbing and Im surprised this is the way replicant was written alongside Gestalt. I think i prefer the old kaine but in the end the game brings all the feels and thats its only real strong point so they did a good job to bring it back for newer consoles. Kinda sucks how gestalt wasnt an option the masculine conan archetype defending his last child was just better suited to the world they were portraying. This was difficult to type because i've had surgery on my fingers but your vid makes me want to.

A lot of people played Automata first, but, I'm glad I wasn't one of them. I feel that having played Replicant/Gestalt first made Automata all that more impactful for me, because I caught all the callbacks (even the music) and connected lore and storybeats. [Automata Spoiler Alert] Seeing Emil again brought tears of joy, and seeing his questline's story and recalling back all that he started to remember, was such a beautiful experience that newcomers to the series would've missed out on. Not to mention understanding Popola and Devola's plight, knowing why humanity was extinct, and exploring the library near the end, gave so much more meaning to Automata's narrative. I still hold Replicant/Gestalt's story in higher regard, but, Automata just has so much more impact when you've played the first game beforehand.

For me replicant didn't hit as hard. Replicant didn't feel like I or the main cast lost anything. The game felt strangely devoid of suffering for the main cast. Automata felt like I truly lost loved ones. I guess they just have different focuses. Replicant focuses on the cruelty the main character inflicts on those around him in his belligerence and ignorance. Automata focuses on the cruelty the world indifferently curses upon the main cast. Replicant has a whole guilt trip angle it takes in route B, and Automata has a whole grief angle it takes in route C. I'd best describe replicant and Automata in their similar but different storytelling angled as this: replicant is about what people will do to protect what they love, and Automata is about what people will do when they've lost what they love.

Kinda wished that the pc version had cutscenes capped at 30 but still have gameplay at 60 and higher. The cutscenes were made with 30 fps in mind and didn't have proper lip sync for English dialogue. And in 60fps, you can really see it. But gameplay should be 60fps and higher

So technically you're right. In the original Japanese release NieR Gestalt was exclusive to Xbox 360, but when brought outside of Japan Gestalt was the one ported over to PS3 for the worldwide release.

Why did they cap the resolution on the consoles? I have it for the Series X and my PC, but I can't stand the lower resolution and choppy cutscenes. For sure wasn't getting it for the PS5. I know it's been out awhile still hope it gets patched though. My 3060ti does the job though!

@9:55 yeah, I'm pretty sure they just ported over the updated versions they had made for Automata and just brought them back into Replicant because I don't really hear any differences in the tracks by comparison. Makes sense, since doing so saves both time and development funds, and I don't really see a point in updating the tracks yet again.
@kidkytes62332 жыл бұрын
There's no differences in the Automata tracks, they've just been pulled from Automata's soundtrack. Most of the Replicant OST has been re-recorded.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the reason they change the protagonist into an adult because JRPGs were seeing as kiddie games due to the success of Western RPGs, seeing how you always play as adults? Therefore, they were becoming less popular in North America and we had to beg the developers to bring them over. Nowdays that's not the case, but I remember back then how JRPGs popularity was decaying in NA at least and how that was stressful for us who wanted to play those games.

God, I'm so torn. Nier is one of those games (many, many games) that has sat in my backlog for ages, along with Automata and all three Drakengards, for that matter. When the remaster was announced, I figured "well, I'll play the original first, and then play 1.22 down the line after that," what with wanting to experience how the game evolved, play as both protagonists, etc. But then I find out that dad Nier was corporate-mandated, and combined with the QoL upgrades and additional content/better graphics... I'm thinking maybe my first encounter with Nier should be the newer release. :S It's a conundrum.
@RobertoHidalgo3 жыл бұрын
I love NieR Gestalt, IMO even if it was a corporate decision they make a great work, papa NieR the personality was great, but saying that if you haven't play any you should totally go with this new version, it's kinda the same but they really polish and make it better than ever

Put it this way. The gameplay in og Nier is super dated. So if you play Replicant and try to go back to og Nier, it might feel even worse. If you intend on playing og Nier for that sweet Papa Nier experience, then play it first imo.

No dude, play the replicant remaster. Its not worth it to play through the jank of the original. Also papa nier doesnt even make much sense as the story was masterfully written for brother nier. Like the whole of chapter 1 you do mondane, boring jobs for cheap because the people feel bad for the kid that has a sick younger sister living alone, so they find safe odd jobs to help them out. But in chapter 2 he grows up and is known for killing shades so you get more killing related quests that pay like 30 times more. That shit doesnt make sense with papa nier so you just do shit fetch quests for no reason whatsoever and people start treating you different just because you have an eyepatch? Also many dialogues are weird, like the drunk woman trying to hit on you but you are a teenager and then hitting on you when you grow up or emil having a crush on the monstrosity that is papa nier's face and calling him "very cool" lmaoo. Its not worth it playing the original. Also replicant has many QoL stuff alongside the waaaay improved gameplay and combat (you move a lot faster for example), it also has DLC and a new ending. And you DO NOT want to get all the endings to og nier and then nier replicant remaster... that would be...kinda torture. Doing all the mondane stuff in the game is BORING AS FUCK. Nier replicant vers. 1.245754 gameplay and pacing is not as good as automata's.

Gotta say, I've been playing both versions for the first time recently, and the only changes I think I truly dislike are that some soundtracks lose their original feel or get swamped entirely in effects until they're no longer fun to listen to (e.g. Temple of Drifting Sands) - though that's bound to happen with these sorts of things - and that some of the reworked maps lose their original sense of scale.
