#Only real difference is the Nier you play as: in Gestalt he's Yonah's father but is her brother in Replicant.

In the year of the 10th anniversary of NieR, we are announcing that the cult classic third-person action RPG NieR Replicant, is to be rebuilt for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Steam) as NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139…

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… invites players into a dark, apocalyptic world as they join a brother’s captivating quest to cure his sister of a deadly disease—a quest which will in turn make them question everything.

I just watched ray narvaez jr play nier automata in the background while I farmed loyce souls in dark souls 2 because I've loved ray since even before twitch when he was with achievement hunter and I like to keep up on him and also recently I watched the late super zaibatsu play nier gestalt because I've loved matt pat woolie and liam since 20fucking12, this is relevant ok, anyway I literally put down the controller and stared open mouthed at the screen when ray was doing the lunar tear side quest because I realized the moment emil said that he couldn't remember I understood EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK WAS HAPPENING.
YOKO TARO YOU SICK BASTARD
HAVE MY HEART ON A SILVER PLATTER WHY DONT YOU???
to anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, let me explain.
drakengard is a JRPG trilogy for the PS2 that was co-developed by yoko taro. the series is the mainline universe that the spinoff games nier replicant and nier gestalt were based on, and nier automata was based on those games as a distant sequel. the events of drakengard are irrelevant. nier replicant and nier gestalt are basically the same game, the only difference is that in nier replicant the player character is a young man who is the brother of side character yonah, and in nier gestalt the player character is an older man who is the father of yonah. the games are functionally identical, and the only real differences are cosmetic. spoilers ahead for a game that's been put for a decade! at the end of both nier gestalt and replicant, after you beat the game three times to unlock all of the endings, you are faced with one final choice. to save yonah, nier must sacrifice his existence. the game asks nier, asks you, if you're sure, and if you say yes, the game begins to delete your save file. piece by piece, inventory item by inventory item, collectible by collectible, slowly and painstakingly you watch your entire save game be deleted until everything is gone, and the game continues. the cutscene shows that yonah and nier's friends have forgotten that he ever existed. they have no idea why they're there. they don't remember him. he no longer exists. he never did. everything he ever did is now erased from the timeline. as far as the universe is concerned, there was never a nier. the only evidence that he ever existed is that yonah was alive, because of a flower; the lunar tear. and as far as the game is concerned, the only proof that the player ever beat the game in this way is that a lunar tear is present on the title screen. unless you back up your save.
one of nier's friends and companions was emil. yes, the same emil as from automata. sort of. okay so emil died in nier gestalt/replicant but not really. he got better. fast forward thousands of years into the future and yorha is running the show. 2b goes on her sexily-clothed adventure and along the way she meets emil. during the course of a side quest she discovers that emil is actually a copy. during the war with the aliens emil (who was created as a weapon) clones himself a bunch to fight them, but every time he did so he lost some of his original memories. he managed to remember some of them after looking at the macguffin of the quest. which is? mother. fucking. LUNAR. TEARS.
EMIL REMEMBERED THINGS ABOUT HIS PAST BECAUSE OF THE VERY FLOWER HE WENT ON A QUEST TO FIND WITH NIER. BUT HE DOESNT REMEMBER NIER BECAUSE NIER NEVER EXISTED. HE CAN ONLY REMEMBER CLONING HIMSELF TO FIGHT THE ALIENS, WHICH HE WAS ONLY ABLE TO DO BECAUSE OF NIER'S SACRIFICE.
EXCUSE ME WHILE I FUCKING SOB IN THE CORNER FOR NIER MY ANGRY GRANDPA T.T
anyway catch me playing nier replicant version 1.22474487139 when the remaster releases on pc in april because holy shit I never got to play it myself but I am so goddamn hype I'll punch a fuckin hole in the wall jesus fuck
