        You can ignore most of the quests early on. Some of them have nice stories attached to them, but a lot aren't worth the hassle.

        I'm not a fan of some of the new arrangements, but it is implemented a lot better. I got so fricking sick of Hills of Radiant Winds in my first playthrough of Gestalt, but splitting it into multiple versions that play at different points really helped.

        They still could have stood to make a few more tracks or reuse a few from Automata, though. Emil~Sacrifice is still pretty much the only dramatic song they had to work with and in the second half of the game it plays in every other cutscene making it really fricking hard to take seriously. I hear that song in my head when I drop my toast in the morning or realize I'm out of toilet paper.

    It finally brought the original, real version of the story to the West, washing away the shitty Microwiener-dictated Gestalt version. On top of that, it implemented a lot of story content that was previously left to side merch.

      Depends whether the sequel would've been good or not. Sequels are always iffy in a way, they might be amazing or they might be a disappointment that somehow retroactively ruins the previous entry too. Obviously I would've much preferred a good sequel to Automata over a remake of the first Nier which I had already played anyway.

      Canonically, it's petite and small. The one who calls it huge is a nun who has never seen a naked man outside of some books on anatomy.

        How do you know it is small?

          1. In the past, she was a clone of both her grandparents, both of whom were from Japan. That's why her replicant ended up having a wiener.
          2. Her in-game model has a very tiny, 1 cm thick bulge.

    Is there someone who knows what the frick is actually going on in these games and can explain the lore and connections between Replicant, Automata and so on? Because I swear to god, homosexual Taro has made so overcomplicated thing, it's barely possible to make sense out of it.

      If you want to actually understand everything, you have to read the various side materials.

      Read the side materials. if you just want a basic connection between the two games though then Automata continues on from Ending B of replicant, specifically the part with Emil in the desert.

      It's really not that complicated if you're only talking about Nier and Automata. The characters who appear in Automata who the player should recognize from Nier even explain their own backstories themselves.

      Humanity found a magical particle that helped them improve society by combining magic and technology. But this also came alongside the spread of an incurable disease. In a final effort to save the humans, the androids they created supervised a plan to separate the body from the soul, and made new artificial vessels (replicants) from the human genes. But when replicants started to gain a will of their own, the original souls (gestalts) went berserk. Ultimately the plan failed when the protag from Nier (a replicant) killed the head of this operation because he didn't want anyone's consciousness to be overwritten by the gestalts.
      In Nier Automata humans are all already dead, and now only androids inhabit earth. There's a huge alien invasion and the android leaders want the rest of the androids to fight off the aliens. So they create this lie that humans are still alive, that they just escaped to the moon, to motivate the other androids to defend earth for them.
      In Drag-On Dragoon/Drakengard, the final battle takes place inside a huge dimensional crash that teleports the main character and his dragon to our world. The magic particle and foreign virus that started it all came from here, which is why Nier is a spin-off to this game.
      I hope this helped.

        I don't think this is right but it's been a while since I played the games. IIRC it's the souls going berserk (relapsing) that makes the corresponding replicants die (getting the Black Scrawl).

          NTA but it's both. Gestalts relapse because they can't go into the replicant, then the replicants get Black Scrawl and die, the end result being that the original humans and the replicants all die out by Automata time sans Emil

            Relapsing predates the creation of replicants.

    A buddy of mine played the original release forever ago and spoiled the ending.
    I know there are multiple endings etc but would knowing the truth about "shades" etc ruin the game for someone? Trying to determine if I should still try this since I got spoiled on a big plot point.

      Not really. the first playthrough is played assuming the player has no knowledge about the shades. but the second playthrough onwards its assumed you do know, and those playthroughs are important for the story. So think of it as being spoiled for the first 20-35% of the game but not the rest.

    Kind of, most of the actual gameplay bits in the original Nier were awful and the game was super tedious. Actually there was basically nothing good about it other than the story, music and characters, so I can see how some improvement was in order. I haven't played the remake so I don't know to what degree it actually succeeds, though.
