@Wiseman108 They make the music tracks seperately, so that they can be seemlessly integrated between cutscenes and combat. Drums kick in when you need to dodge a giant hadouken, drums and strings cut out when people talk, etc.
The combat was kinda boring, and the graphics were a touch bellow terrible. However what Cavia did right was some phenomenal music and amazing character development (even though they just filled the jrpg niche.)
@Conciet253 I don't know why everyone calls the graphics "terrible." Is it because it had Square Enix on the box? It's pretty average - as in, not bad - compared to a lot of PS3/360 games, and it's really not so bad you'd ever notice it and exclaim how awful it is (except maybe the Shades but that's design choice, not graphics). I honestly have never been turned away by bad graphics since the PS1 era ended.
@endhalf Thats because mass effect is too straight forward with their characters to the point, that when people die you kinda dont care too much because it was like who the heck were they and why should I care? but nier emphasised characters and built a relationship with them so when things happened the impact was much more emotional, glad that someone else notices these kind of things though lol (remember kids story is important but the characters are the people who make the story happen) :)
Absolutely loved the game! I don't know why, but for some reason it had bigger emotional effect on me than for example Mass Effect, or others RPGs... God I love Nier...
This is from Wiki: Square Enix executive producer Yosuke Saito has since commented that "a number of things" related to Nier are in progress, and that an announcement could be due in 2011.
So yes people, a sequel (or at least an announcement) will be due out by this year or next year.... FUCK YES!
@Etrian2 You don't have to start over to get the multiple endings. You get dropped in at the halfway mark, and the revelations during gameplay leading up to the other endings are what make it worth it.
The game is fantastic and has multiple endings, fantastic if you love to collect all of the items as they carry over from the last game. The soundtrack is so fantastic it brings me to tears. I feel blessed to have played this game.
why...why is this game so amazing? Easy!! Nier is underrated! And this song... man ff and all the rest of rpg's can go away. No game has this amazing soundtrack. Maybe just maybe FF versus 13 might best it.
gonna get this game when after my birthday and christmas (together with el sahddai, and folklore^^). well the first time i saw a game review i had to laugh a bit because of the graphic and the castlevania 2D- style... but after seeing the intro and some other gameplays i just want this game *o* and the osts are really epic!
@Whitewyvernkiller I just bought the game last night because I remember being interested in it when I saw the previews. I am digging it so far, I like the music, the characters and just the way everything looks so far.
@Sanious I'm guessing you're a bit farther by now. Don't forget to do a new game + and actually play through it. Don't just youtube ending b, the experience is in the second playthrough. It will completely change your perception of the game's story.
@Kiro0 Yeah, I haven't. I just started my New Game+ today and I have to say I already know what you're talking about. I love that they went about telling you more of the story this way.
@FieryRedDonkeyOfHell the story changes in a good way making the game soooo much better i wont tell you more cuz it would spoil it but you gotta play it more than 1 or2 or 3 times hahaha trust me it´s worth it...just one tip...you might cry so get a loooot of tissues :3
one of the best songs i ever heard... i actually listen to metal but this masterpiece leaves me dewy-eyed... an amazing game deserves an amazing soundtrack and they did everything right... i'll appreciate this soundtrack forever, thanks to the great composers
@galvenize2 it breaks my heart they r in japan and i live in england ive just found this music and it is the most beautiful i have ever heard i would love to go....
Never heard of Nier until someone I watch on devART made fanart of it. Is this supposed to be a boss theme? Not many songs give me a music high, but this one does :D
I never play at Nier but this music is really perfect the first part is just beautifull and sad, the second part is really dynamique and awesome for a battle, this music have all I love when I listen a music.
Oh my god, spare me your pathetic mocking and grow up. It was clearly not intended to argue and believe it or not, writing with a PS III is difficult on youtube. And yet logical thinking would have helped to understand that I wanted to avoid an arguement.
And yes, your description shows that you follow the stream and don't understand the story. It is by far more than just an "FF VI-2".
And oh my god, JameNeko - not another "overrrated" comment. Final Fantasy VII harvests so much hatred, you just prove yourself wrong. That is because of the Anti-Hype-Hype nowadays.
@Cetra29 I don't even, what did you just say? If you're trying to argue for something, perhaps you should learn how to properly phrase yourself first? Lol.
FF7 is pretty much a 3D FF6 (with a far worse story, that revolves around a momma's boy..) as far as I'm concerned ~
Also, at your previous comment, what is there not to understand about the story? Subliminal messages that only you seem to catch?~
@JAMiEneko You understood his entire point really; your wild generalizations of Final Fantasy VII are mildy retarded at best sir. The only thing that would even remotely become anything subliminal about VII's story is the emotions involvled in the music. As far as I am concerned....your "momma's boy" comment groups you with the ignorant, stereotypical incompetents who think VII is overated because they fail to grasp the evident art of it's themes.
The story is far from difficult to grasp, especially the "art of it's themes".
To believe it is more then what meets the eye one must be incredibly dense.
Also, it holds an incredibly weak ending. Fitting, maybe, but it lacked the emotion to turn the game into something greater (some might say a "masterpiece"). Hastily explains what happens to the planet and hardly tells you what happens to the characters on a personal level.
Lol, "how moronic it was". That can only be from another one who didn't understand the story and believes internet theories. I love Final Fantasy VII's story more thsn Nier's, but Nier comes directly after it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
...Is that Lilium raped in style of new Evangelion and then marketed under differrent name? Who cares, it's awesome, all that really matters to me in the end.
As much as the game itself is flawed, the character development, story, and music are exceptional. Grimoire Weiss alone is one of my all-time favorite characters.
@appledozeLeonTaz I agreed, the fight between Kaine et Weiss always make me smile. The story ( and the newgame+ ) make me want to cry.. The music? No need to talk about it. Just awesome.
so epic at 2:50 when yonah leaves the body and the shadowlord yells and turns slowly toward you with this face of just pure and complete hatred (i get shivers). i love when games can convey true emotions from a character
@huhndaking777 Nier blows any FF game's plot out of the water. The characterization and general writing is less like a J-RPG (see: blatant archetypes in a simple good vs evil setting) and more like a really, really good book.And yes, it is constantly epic.
@JAMiEneko Square titles are always black and white. They never go in-depth into any of the issues they present, assuming they present issues at all. They never present actual challenging topics like Nier does. The characterization spends five minutes when the character is first introduced setting up their archetype, the next 60+ hours using their dialogue for nothing but exposition, and then they get a 5-minute end or post-game event that reaffirms their archetype. tl;dr: they're awful.
Any money 6 and 9 were among the first. Nostalgia mixed with the fact that all Square games are extremely similar in plot and characterization. 9 especially had a nearly nonexistant plot up until the last hour, and among the worst characterization in the series, with a few characters who didn't even have their usual 10 minutes of archetype setup.
I'm not telling you to hate it, personally I love FF6, but I can still admit it's got bad writing.
@Shinkada how did 9 not have a plot until the last hour? You always knew what you were doing, and why you were doing it, it's just that a lot of stuff gave you always new main goals, but that doesn't mean it didn't have a plot.
@danw91 So, "You knew what you were doing and why you were doing it" makes for a good plot? Square sure has lowered peoples' standards over the years. Admittedly I haven't played 9 in years so I can barely remember it, but that kind of illustrates my point. It's been longer since I played 7 but I still (unfortunately) remember a fair chunk of that, even if it's probably because of how moronic it was. 9 was just... Unmemorable except for the clone bs, which again, I remember because it was dumb.
@Bake749 Sigh... The game was developed by a now-bankrupt company named Cavia. Square just published it, and printed their disgusting name all over it.
Is it bad that, during the final-final fight with the Shadowlord (where you have to him him three times), when the music changed to this song in music-box for the final hit I actually cried?
I'm a freaking 25 year old man who has never cried in a game ever. This game is so, SO good.
@TheUselessGod and underrated, but atleast it got released (thanks sony), check out NoA's decision on not releasing Xenoblade, last story and pandora's tower
as for Nier: i loved the story, and its emotional value at the end, and the soundtrack, simply dazzling
This is definately a game worth playing! Great story and awesome soundtrack!! The only thing I found a little boring was the fact that most of the sidequests are just collecting materials/ grinding. But that is just a minor flaw in this otherwise great game.
@SoulReaper461 I dare you to say that on New Game + On the hardest setting. Go on, i dare you. That crap is HARD, specially if your aiming for No item use.
can someone please send me a link to see the sheet music for song??? please i'd like to learn how to actually sing this song rather than just try and figure out what they're trying to say
I finished listening to the entire OST in a playlist, I'm a little sad that it's over but I will say that it was very repetitive. I'm happy that this soundtrack exists but it could've benefited a ton from more variation.
@BigDrawMan You remember the second time you go to the forest of myth? It has references to Drakengard in the story you read from the tree, when it talks about the woman and the dragon falling from the sky.
@BigDrawMan This story is long years after the events of Drakengard if you finished it completely the last ending when you go to Tokyo and they kill the dragon it releases a virus in the world then comes this.
@BigDrawMan actually, this is a direct sequel to Drakengard 1 from its Ending E, where Angelus and Caim appeared in tokyo and were shot down, in which resulting the white chlorination plague, and thus the story of nier hath begun
Possibly the best storyline I have ever seen in a videogame, possibly the best graphics I've seen in a videogame, DEFINITELY the best soundtrack I've ever heard.
Possibly the best storyline I have ever seen in a videogame, possibly the best graphics I've seen in a videogame, DEFINITELY the best soundtrack I've ever heard.
@Sinagrom I will disagree with the graphics part but but! this was supposed to be a low budget project so the grafics are more than great considering that fact alone! I just hated fishing and farming :P aaand a tiny bit of bug where if you had a main quest there was no way to track the sidequests and it would ONLY track down the main quest
My first playthrough clocked in at almost 50 hours because I didn't want the story to come to an end. But then the Shadowlord's Castle was kinda easy...
Its a shame many people don't know the prequels to this game. they are much the same in many ways. it only hints to it very little in the game, i hear.
music took a step up in both the original sequel and now in this cast off X3
@FlameHasChannel well, sorta. their not full prequels, but Neir extends from one of them supposedly. not much traveled from them to this game though.
Drakengard for the ps2 is the one where this game extends from, the fifth ending. the first ending of Drakengard goes into Drakengard 2, the other three are dead ends. well, maybe, the fifth was too before Neir came out.
their gameplay is tedious, but i like the stories. worth a try at least.
Never played the game but here I am sitting through this whole soundtrack. It's hard to imagine as many epic moments in a game as there are epic tracks.
Beat Ending A yesterday. The ShadowLord's castle is amazingly fun and the music is mind-blowing. Working on the DLC and Ending B now. Also, although not many people seem to like the "Forest of Myth" area I find it to be very fun and entertaining. Like I can immerse myself into the story, this truly is an underrated game.
The game is a lot of fun and i LOVE the forest of myth. I like the stories and the music is simply amazing. Of all the games I've ever played this 1 has me the most caught up in the story of them all and has the best music. NieR is THE best to me.
@sumowow forest of myth is a good place but in the second dream if you make a mistake it's game over and you have to spam circle/B button to go through all the text
Nier spoke of a story that will let you get in touch with. Spoke of a story that talked about Love, Surviving, Determination and why people do things. Even the evil ones have their profound reason of doing what they do. Taught us to hear the other side first before attacking. The OST helps to achieve the epicness of this storyline.
I wish other companies would see this game for what it really is about and try to make a game at least half as good.
@FlameHasChannel Felt the same way :/ I kept thinking for several days after I finished B and how amazing the game let me open my mind into looking more into stories to hear the two parts(if they were 100% true that is :P)
What's sad is that Nier is a better FFXIII than FFXIII.......................Nier is worlds above every single RPG on PS3. Screw you if you disagree.

I finished listening to the entire OST in a playlist, I'm a little sad that it's over but I will say that it was very repetitive. I'm happy that this soundtrack exists but it could've benefited a ton from more variation.

@Sinagrom I will disagree with the graphics part but but! this was supposed to be a low budget project so the grafics are more than great considering that fact alone! I just hated fishing and farming :P aaand a tiny bit of bug where if you had a main quest there was no way to track the sidequests and it would ONLY track down the main quest

It's a shame that good graphics are the only things that make a good game for people nowadays.
This game is overrated because of the graphics but SHIT they are not bad as that and everyone forgot about fun, OST, Story....
This game is the proof that graphics are not the only that make a good game!

Its a shame many people don't know the prequels to this game. they are much the same in many ways. it only hints to it very little in the game, i hear.
music took a step up in both the original sequel and now in this cast off X3
i like this song.

@UnmercyfulDeath There were prequels? Oh, do tell. I only knew about Nier.
FlameHasChannel 1 year ago
@FlameHasChannel well, sorta. their not full prequels, but Neir extends from one of them supposedly. not much traveled from them to this game though.
Drakengard for the ps2 is the one where this game extends from, the fifth ending. the first ending of Drakengard goes into Drakengard 2, the other three are dead ends. well, maybe, the fifth was too before Neir came out.
their gameplay is tedious, but i like the stories. worth a try at least.

Beat Ending A yesterday. The ShadowLord's castle is amazingly fun and the music is mind-blowing. Working on the DLC and Ending B now. Also, although not many people seem to like the "Forest of Myth" area I find it to be very fun and entertaining. Like I can immerse myself into the story, this truly is an underrated game.

@sumowow
Can it be put in any better words?
The game is a lot of fun and i LOVE the forest of myth. I like the stories and the music is simply amazing. Of all the games I've ever played this 1 has me the most caught up in the story of them all and has the best music. NieR is THE best to me.

Nier spoke of a story that will let you get in touch with. Spoke of a story that talked about Love, Surviving, Determination and why people do things. Even the evil ones have their profound reason of doing what they do. Taught us to hear the other side first before attacking. The OST helps to achieve the epicness of this storyline.
I wish other companies would see this game for what it really is about and try to make a game at least half as good.
