We damn well better not.
Also it sounds like they're adding more content and re-recording all the lines again. Why would they bother making two versions again when the other version did worse?

The quality of the voice acting, and Price's performance as Old Man Nier is 90% of the reason Old Man Nier works so well. It's absolutely stellar.
I also agree that having both options would be most preferrable.
The gameplay is fine, it's not like the improved combat in Automata mattered much because the encounter design never did anything with it. They're both games you mash through and enjoy the world, story and music.
if so, surprising! i didn't play C:FB
still think people are better off preparing for the worst than expecting the best
Plus the original Nier has waaaay more gameplay mix ups than automata.
She did do the lines in Catherine full body. But the best way to make you wonder and hope we do get the cast back.... Tales Of Vesperia DE... because someone at Namco Bandai never contacted Troy Baker (whom also came back for Catherine) and imma be real... the voice difference was so fucking jarring for that game that i couldnt play it in english again because of the voice shift.
To clear up some confusions, in Replicant you start off as a boy and grow into a young adult.
That's what the "older Nier" refers to here, not the 50 something american version.
It's gonna be my next gen Raiden fix
<3
Try the game at 60 fps on ps3 emulator with Replicant (fan patched with accurate translation).
You'll change your mind when the game isn't dying and running at sub 20 fps.
But if they can fix the jank animations and rebalance the game a bit, this is gonna just as fun as Nier Automata. The powers are just too cool.

Having both is the preferred option.
I just don't want to be stuck with Papa Nier again.
I can't imagine Kaine without Laura, she'll be back.
Drakengard 3 may have had the worst gameplay(though I liked it), but it has my favorite story of all the Taro games. It is absolute, unbridled insanity, with a god-tier voice cast.

That may be true for japan's sales, but anyone should know that hardly matters for international markets.
I-imagine if they give us a power and weapon wheel .............
omg this game is going to be a fucking megaton
I think a Nier Replicant/Gestalt remake/remaster with some tweaks and improvements could do plenty well. The game cops way too much hate for it's game design, when the clumsiness and clunkiness could be improved with more time and a better grasp on what they want to accomplish. Everything else surrounding that design is action game 101 and perfectly servicable in this day and age.
Improve the combat, improve the presentation, tighten up some of the design, and I think you'd have a wonderfully enjoyable action RPG that could easily piggyback off the success of Automata. Nier might have sold poorly, but Automata sure as shit did not. The latter has created a brand awareness that I can guarantee you will enormously benefit a remake of the former.
Precisely. Price's performance is amazing and elevates the script tremendously.

Oh my god YES!!! YES! Holy shit, I got so 0 to 100 instantly hyped that I nearly friggin' screamed out loud and it's the middle of the damned night LMAO.
Omg I'm sooooo happy!! I've wanted to play Replicant version of Nier for evveeeerrr!! Aaaaaaaaa!!! :DDDD

Great news.... a shame it's boi-Nier and not best Nier daddy.
Glad I still have my physical dad-Nier edition.

Wasn't there a reviewer that quit the game and gave it a low score over the fishing?
The fact that it's on the Xbox One is confirmation in of itself. lol
You know Yoko Taro can start brand new fuckery with Gestalt and Replicant co-existing or turning out to be the same game which you find out in an end-game twist except you now play through the other version of the game after your first playthrough and vice versa.
A lot of reviewers didn't even start the second part of the game
Honestly the only thing about combat I remember is the dive attack and the phoenix spear lol. Vaguely remember powers but don't remember any of the weapons at all.
Justin McElroy made a video complaining about it, which helped contribute to it's notoriety.
Most likely the former
Maybe Xbox will get Papa Nier :P
Sweetie ...
Probably gonna work in some Grimoire "ending E" stuff with Kaine epilogue !
Which also would explain why they erased Gestalt since it was written for Replicant.
Not officially, but the fact it's on Xbox and Steam does definitely point to them releasing this in the West.
EDIT: Oh speak of the devil, confirmed right as I typed this.
