Nier Automata's soundtrack is god tier
- Thread starter Zen
- Start date
My views on the OST of both games are that NieR's music is the single greatest soundtrack ever created for a video game and can be slotted into any situation, whereas Automata's music is more specific to its circumstance.
The seamless transitions from one variation to the next add so much with so little. Play the game for the full experience. ^^'
I was listening to disc 3 of the cd soundtrack on my way into work today. Listened to the whole thing many times, still picking out new moments I never noticed before.
Also have the first Automata concert on bluray and the second one is gonna be delivered tomorrow or friday, it just came out.

The man and Emi Adams are musical genius, but no shit I think that look at my avatar. However while both nier soundtracks are genius give some love drakengard 3, this song brings me to tears by itself.... also some nightmare fuel but it's so powerful.
Nier automatas soundtrack is even more impressive when you are familiar with the original. It rhymes with previous songs and bubbles up emotions from previous music cues but is done subtle enough you wouldn't ever pick up on it if you didn't know

also highlights the localization team's effort as the automata track in the OP for example is also translated :D and it's actually even better in english than the japanese version!
Yeah, it's all time great soundtrack. It's also one of the best integrated soundtracks of all time too, just with the transitions and how it's all seamlessly synced to the gameplay. For example the chiptune versions of every track, and there also many examples of the music changing on the fly to suit boss fights or other big events. It's all extremely well done. Can't forget to mention Weight of the World either, especially the Japanese version which is almost guaranteed to give an emotional response.

And I just so happened that I am listening to Disk 3 of the soundtrack right now in my ol' CD player! This was my #1 listened to album when it released.
I even bought the Orchestral Arrangement LE but haven't opened it yet.

I didn't care for the orchestra version, to be honest.
They got it right with the normal version and I found the orchestra version loses some things in translation.
Eh. Original Nier's soundtrack is better. The fact the overworld music in Automata regularly glitches so only the piano track plays without any of the other layers is fucking torture to me.
Good. I hope you'll enjoy your stay cos you won't find a way out of this rabbit hole any time soon.
Glad you're liking it, IMO its the OST of the generation. We've had some incredible music but Okabe is just so far ahead of the curve its scary.
Interesting. I'll give it a listen on Youtube and see whether it's worth keeping in my collection, or selling it to buy the Nier soundtracks. =)
And here I thought I was being hyperbolic lol
Like, just put Shadowlord over any final boss, or Hills of Radiant Wind over any long grassland or field, or The Wretched Automatons over any mechanical industrial area, or City of Commerce over any beachfront area. It just instantly clicks, like those songs are the primal embodiment of the settings and feelings they're trying to convey.
By contrast, NieR Automata's music feels specific to it, and could only work within itself the way most game OSTs do.
OSTs for both games are absolutely ace and some of the best compositions and performances I have ever heard. And Emi Evans voice is well past angelic. There are some tracks on both OSTs that I can sit down and listen to and just... cry. Not to mention both games are amazing but the OSTs absolutely stand out.
Please do a LTTP, I have been dieing to hear what people think of the originals story and characters if they play automata first forever.
