This is somewhat of an outsiders view, but I have a girlfriend and friends really into NieR.Can somebody explain the papa vs bro arguments in this thread? Only played Automata.
Is this confirmed for the western release as well? I'm surprised they're going through the effort of re-voicing brother Nier rather than just using the Papa Nier recording.
Why are you so confident that it's a simple remaster?
Despite the thread title, the trailer and the game title itself don't indicate what kind of treatment this is getting.
japan had both versions (Replicant and Gestalt), America only got Gestalt.This is somewhat of an outsiders view, but I have a girlfriend and friends really into NieR.
Basically in Japan the original NieR game was about a brother saving his sister. For a Western audience, they thought a father saving his daughter would be more appealing, so there became two versions of the game, the Japanese one with the brother, the Western one with the father.
To my understanding they're basically the same with only some story changes to accommodate the father/brother changes.
Weren't they also each exclusive to PS3 and 360 respectively, or did I imagine that?japan had both versions (Replicant and Gestalt), America only got Gestalt.

NAY I SAY NAY! Papa Nier's ugliness is what makes Papa Nier Papa Nier.
Lmaooo the true ending is in the bookI really hope they change the Collect And Upgrade Everything to see the true ending bullshit.
iirc, yeah, they were console version dependent in japan, unless there was another release laterWeren't they also each exclusive to PS3 and 360 respectively, or did I imagine that?
Both were released in japan at the same time.Also to people saying that dad vs bro nier were basically the same, there is one massive difference. One is in japanese, and one is in english lol.
I'd really like to know your thought process behind that one. Octopath has nothing to do with this release.Yeah this is great news. Bet octopath traveler makes its way over
Conversely, part of why I slightly prefer Papa NieR is because he's a very atypical hero for the type of game it is. He's not attractive, and he's old going on a journey for them whippersnappers to save his daughter.Not really bummed about the loss of Gestalt. While Papa Nier is charming it is abundantly clear that he didn't really fit the story and undermines some of its core themes. Especially now that we have more "Dad" games it feels like less of a loss. It would be cool if they could still work it in somehow as DLC or something.

Hmmm. Wonder if that means they'll recast. Hopefully not (beyond obviously having to find an english voice for Brother Nier)-Developed by Toylogic
-Fully voiced, re-recorded voices
-Automata's Takahisa Taura is also helping the development
Brother Nier prostituted himself to get money for Yonah I'm pretty damn sure he's willing to go as far as Papa Nier.I think a brother would try to save his sister, but maybe not to the point papa nier did. I'm trying to not get into spoilers lol despite it being a 10 year game. I do think the kaine/Nier romance will look more organic than papa nier and Kaine. And the gay subplot with Emil will... you know not be creepy with a kid wanting papa nier.
Please no I want to play as brother Nier this time.
I'm under the impression that most people aren't really playing this series for the gameplay, but I'd also argue that the first one wasn't as bad as anyone made it out to be gameplay wise. I played it for the first time the year Automata came out, and found the transition between games to be pretty similar.
