Which version should I play? are the differences only graphical?
>are the differences only graphical?No, they reworked the combat to be more like Nier Automata.
>replicant was 5 years agowhat the sigma
>>722330661The original release of the game had two versions. The Japanese version has the character on the right, who is the brother of the little girl. For American release, the protag was replaced by her father to appeal to American audiences. The new version of the game has substantial changes and upgrades in technology, but does not bother with the American protagonist.
>>722330661Why did they turn him into a twink?
>>722330661Replicant>are the differences only graphicalNo, the combat is a little bit better and it has more content and new content that was supposed to be in the original release of the game, but didn't make itA lot of people on /v/ prefer dad Nier, but personally I think the writing functions much better with Brother Nier, you can tell that he was the original.
>>722331000They didn't newfriend.
>>722330661>Which version should I play?Neither.
>>722330953When Replicant came out and I read about Gestalt (yeah, zoomer, I know, I know, born in 1998), I found way too funny that they changed the protagonist just to better cater to a different market. You can't see things like this anymore.
>>722330661Replicant (PS3)
>>722331175The father dynamic is ironically better than the gay twink who sold his bussy for money.
>>722331175>You can't see things like this anymore.You couldn't see it even at the time, changing a fame so much to fit a different market was an 80s/90s thing.
>>722330953>but does not bother with the American protagonist.Thoughever there IS a small Easter egg section of the game where you can battle as papa Nier
>>722330661Replicant v1.0224No, the differences are NOT just visual.Replicant is the original (PS3) version, originally only released in Japan. Gestalt was a Microsoft mandated localisation, that changed the main character and censored a shitton of content.The HD port of Replicant Also adds a lot of new content, some which were previously only found in official side merch.
>>722331369Wrong. And Nier is not gay. Hell, the whole romance part between him and Kaine was completely removed from the Gestalt version, because Papa Nier was a dumb as rock widow now.
Replicant remaster +origonal OST mod is the patrician way to play the game imo.
>>722331862>+origonal OST modstop saying some buuuullshit... that original OST mod was abandoned for YEARS now.. and it's the main reason why i still havent played the remaster.im fucking pissed about it, cause i hate the new OST remix trash

>>722332519Enjoy, the remaster is kino
>>722332728thx again /vro, you guys made my day
I think every game with a remaster that makes any massive overhauls needs to be played on the original first Unless the original game is Bubsy3D level of bad
>>722331369Hell nah, papa nier looks abysmally retarded when people start teaching his 60yo ass how to live
>>722330661The remake looks fucking disgusting, every single character was completely demaked even worse than donkey kong
The remake is better and more faithful to Yoko Taro's original visionDad Nier is a localization and is always bara, which makes you gay if you prefer it, no ifs no buts you are gay>Dad can't use heavy weapons until part 2>YOU AND I ARE FRIENDS NOWNot to mention the gameplay is atrocious and the combat is a slog and you have to walk back and forth everywhere so it many regards it's aged worse than even Drakengard 3>it wasn't that bad I finished the game, route d tooYou used the phoenix spear
>>722334061Well it is 3 years older than DOD3
>>722331162You mean... ni'er?
