help NieR FAQ
What is the difference between Nier Replicant and Nier Gestalt?
The original 2010 game had two versions: Nier Replicant, released in Japan featuring a young, teenage protagonist trying to save his sister Yonah, and Nier Gestalt, released on the Xbox 360 featuring an older father trying to save his daughter.
Do I need to play the original NieR before NieR: Automata?
While NieR: Automata can be enjoyed as a standalone story, playing the original NieR massively enhances the experience. The lore, the fate of humanity, and the overarching themes of the Drakengard universe tie directly into Automata's endings.
What is the gimmick of NieR's multiple playthroughs?
NieR requires multiple playthroughs to see the full story, but subsequent runs are not just identical replays. After the first playthrough, the game adds new cutscenes, dialogue, and context that completely reframe the player's perception of the bosses and the protagonist's actions.
When was the NieR Replicant remaster released?
The updated version, titled Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139, was released in April 2021. It featured completely remastered graphics, modernized combat inspired by PlatinumGames' work on Automata, and new story content.
