1. What is NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... ?
NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is an updated version of the acclaimed 2010 action-RPG and predecessor of NieR:Automata.
It's being developed by Toylogic, in collaboration with series Creative Director YOKO TARO and producer Yosuke Saito, and adds numerous refinements to the game. Think revived visuals, faster, smoother combat, full voice acting, a re-arranged and re-recorded soundtrack and more.
2. What's the history of NieR Replicant?
The original NieR has an interesting history. The game was technically a spin-off of the Drakengard series, but no knowledge of that RPG series was required to understand and appreciate the world and story presented.
The game released in Japan, Europe and the US in April 2010 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, although the nature of the releases differed between East and West.
In its native Japan, two editions of the game were released: NieR Replicant (the version that ver.1.22474487139... updates) and NieR Gestalt. Although the games shared much of the same content, and followed the same basic narrative, there were differences between them, most notably the protagonist himself.
In NieR Replicant, players took the role of a brother on a quest to save his sister Yonah from a horrifying disease that infected her. In NieR Gestalt, the main character was older and Yonah was his daughter.
In the US and Europe, only NieR Gestalt was released as the game titled NIER, and while it was only a modest success sales-wise, it found an audience that continue to enthuse about its virtues, such as a fascinating world, thought-provoking story, genre-bending gameplay and emotive soundtrack.
3. Where is Papa NieR????
Father NieR will be playable in the remastered version of NieR Replicant. Not in the mainstory but in the 15 Nightmares, a very difficult dungeon that was DLC in the original NieR game but it's been added to the base game in this new version.
4. How is NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... connected to NieR:Automata?
There are numerous narrative and thematic links between NieR Replicant and its sequel.
That said, both games are designed to work as standalone experiences - just as you didn't need a degree in NieR-ology to understand NieR:Automata, you won't need any existing knowledge to enjoy and understand NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...
But if you have played NieR:Automata, you may find yourself stroking your chin knowingly more than once as you pick apart the threads of its prequel.
5. Who's the English voice cast for the game?
Here's a partial list:
The combat system of NieR Replicant has been refined, with snappier controls, more mobility and a faster pace.
As the protagonist, you'll battle Shades with a variety of weapons, using swift sword strikes, carefully-timed counters and evasive dodges to take down hordes of foes.
You'll be supported by Grimoire Weiss, who gives you access to numerous magical spells, such as Dark Blast, which peppers enemies with bullets from afar, Dark Lance, which fires powerful projectiles at your opponents and Dark Hand, which lets you bludgeon enemies with… well, a dark hand.
It's a simple to control system that gives you loads of options on how to approach battles. And rest assured - there are tons of enemies that will test your mastery and reflexes.
7. Are there multiple endings in NieR Replicant like in NieR:Automata?
Yes.
