      Literally the opposite. You're outing yourself as a refugee.

        On the contrary considering primarily people who played the original release would care about the brother/father debacle wouldn't it imply the opposite? I also have to agree with the other anon that disregarding canon doesn't really make you a secondary- particularly when it comes to things that made it into an official release.

        Ultimately I think Father works better since it works as a reflection of NieR's ugly soul in a satire on JRPGs, the better Kaine dialogue and the more imposing Shadowlord model are welcome bonuses.

      He is right though, only redditors care about what other people say is or isn't canon and have their actions changed because of it
      >no you can't choose that it's not canon
      >no you shouldn't equip that armor, it doesn't make canon sense
      >that ending isn't canon btw
      >you could do X but the sequel reveals canonically Y happens
      It's all bullshit, the second you start thinking outside the box and disregarding it altogether is the second you stop giving a shit about what is and isn't 'canon'

      Yeah, when it comes character selection/creation, but you're defending a fricking localization change.

    Yeah you think, thinking isn't knowing and the purpose of canon is "to know". Brother is canon, being the Official Whatever can be respected without tourists coming in the cry about existing fans. Don't call people redditors while radiating neuroticism

    I've only played brother. How do the party members even work with dad Nier? It's a pretty big plot point that both party members are in love with Nier and I can't imagine that's still a thing with dad nier.

      Pretty alright. Emil no longer has de gay which IMO makes him more of his own character rather than Taro's misery porn. Kaine kind of sort of still works, especially the scene after king of Facade dies works much better. What comes after a bit less so.

    If you think Brother is better you unironically do not deserve to start a family.

      Papa ends his family and all the families in the world despite having more life experience than Brother so you don't deserve one either

        He's a bitter old man with nothing left to live for.
        In the same vein, Brother is an abused figure who has everything to lose. So they're both similar in that aspect.

    I like Papa Nier better simply because the father-daughter relationship resonates better with me than a brother-sister one. I think Westerners in general have a stronger paternal relationship while Asians have stronger fraternal bonds. A Japan specifically has that myth of the two lovers that reincarnate as siblings.

    I don't know of any coming of age stories that were improved by having a 60 year old protagonist. Just sounds fricking moronic to me.

    the opening with a beat up dad protecting his daughter in the post apocolyspe fit better but yeah th rest of the game makes more sense with the brother. though the nier and weiss friendship seems more fun if there both old dudes
