Nier Replicant Discussion

I like making fun of troons but Kaine is intersex, not a troon.

Oh that's fair. NGL I like her/him/whatever.

This game fucking sucked and failed as a remake. None of the performance was addressed and the art direction downgraded. This franchise is dead.

Automata was better.

Replicant (on PS3) is better than Automata and I will stand by that statement. More creative, more interesting. Better soundtrack, better story, better characters.

How would you recommend playing this series? Automata first than replicant or other way around?

What about Drakenguard games?

Kaine is probably just the creator's futa fetish turned into a waifu. Despite this, she's still the best character in the entire story

Automata had better gameplay and coherence, but Nier has better emotional resonance and moments, probably helped by the characters not being robots. Also better music.

Drakengard 1 and 2 (it's not that bad), no need to play them for all endings, but at least the normal ending. Then Nier, then Automata (or Drakengard 3 if you want to go semi chronologically).

I like Emil for his tragedy, but Kaine is more fun to hang out with.

I am still kind of pissed we never got Papa Nier as an alternative mode. The two protags was an interesting element of the original game and it feels like a shame that we didn't get the option in the definitive edition of the game.

I don't care if Taro doesn't like Papa Nier.

When Papa Nier was designed it was in the vein of "how do western protagonists look like", ironically today a Nier designed on western standards would be even more effeminate but with facial hair.

And yeah Papa Nier is way more effective with the main rescue Yonah plotline, while brother Nier is more appropriate to how Khaine and Emil acts around him and the feelings they develop towards him.
