The original soundtrack was re-recorded with higher sound quality, along with some extended tracks. The old Replicant had an amazing soundtrack, but the new one will get even more auditory symphonic fun. It’s possible that Square Enix and Toylogic are giving a certain focus towards action and combat mostly because of NieR: Automata’s success in those areas. That makes for much more satisfying combat, and we can rest assured that gameplay will be more action-oriented, even more so with the old Replicant’s dodging and parrying, now faster-paced in the new game. Players will be able to use melee and magic attacks at the same time, like in the old Replicant, but many spells will now be usable and chargeable while moving. Despite that improvement, the original Replicant’s combat was still lacking in some aspects. It had lots of blood, and attacks that connected to the enemies gave off a really satisfying feeling. Combat Will Be Improved Nier Replicantĭrakengard wasn’t known for having amazing combat, but Cavia, the old Replicant’s developer, had better results with NieR. Long story short, the games are in the following order, from first to last: Drakengard’s ending, NieR Replicant, and NieR: Automata.ģ. Then, some thousands of years into the future after one of Replicant’s endings, we begin NieR: Automata. NieR Replicant opens up just as the apocalypse is dawning, but after the opening scenes, the game moves on to more than 1,300 years later, when humanity isn’t exactly extinct, but also not exactly sprawling, either. A seemingly incurable disease, called the Black Scrawl, and monsters, called Shades, plague the world. Yeah, I know.Īfter that event, it seems mankind plunged into a spiral of misfortune, mostly caused by the interdimensional confrontation from Drakengard. In that game, there was a secret ending in which the protagonist and his dragon companion get sent to modern-day Tokyo, and they kill a huge goddess there before being shot down by a fighter jet. To explain how things started, we have the first Drakengard title from 2003, which takes place in a fantasy world.

If you already knew all about NieR before Automata, then you most likely know which game comes first, and which comes last.īut, if you just recently discovered the franchise, you probably don’t know how things work in this strange, almost surreal universe. There Is A Timeline Of Games Nier Replicant While some speculate Automata’s androids will make an appearance in the new Replicant, that’s highly unlikely, and anyone who’s knowledgeable of the NieR timeline will know why.Ģ. The Japanese voice cast, on the other side, will get the voice actor from NieR: Automata’s 2B, 9S and A2, but we don’t know what role they’ll be playing. The same goes for Liam O’Brien, who still vocalizes Grimoire Weiss, the deuteragonist talking book. In the new Replicant, Laura Bailey still voices Kaine, and she’ll be shouting new and old foul-mouthed lines with even higher quality. If you’re familiar with Replicant’s characters, you probably remember the hot-headed warrior, Kaine. Not everything is new, though, as some of the original game’s English voice cast will be present. Some of the old dialogue lines have also been modified a bit.

That includes new voiced dialogue, possibly with new scenes and even a new ending, which means we might get a changed Replicant story. The new Replicant will get more content added on top of the old.
