![]() Nier Replicant was the first game in the series that was originally released for PlayStation 3. ![]() Hopefully in the Nier Automata anime they'll reference or elaborate on some of them in some capacity. Nier Replicant: 9 Ways It Connects To Automata By Jessica Thomas Published Nier Replicant takes you to a time before the events of Automata, but you can still see the ways in which the two games connect to each other. The Weapon Stories present so many interesting characters and unique methods of storytelling, and they always leave fans wanting for more. This is a series of what seem to be journal-like entries from Angelus talking about Caim, both of which are from the first Similar to Virtuous Dignity, but the story about its fourth owner is in reference to Father Nier in Ending D of the original The part about its fourth owner is in reference to Brother Nier in Ending D of Obviously a reference to the original Yonah and Nier during the White Chlorination Syndrome crisis long before the start of For example:Ī story about a girl named Yonah talking to her dad. And, in Nier Automata, a few of these weapons have stories that are obviously references to Nier Replicant.

Weapon Stories are by far one of the most interesting mechanics that the Drakengard and Nier franchises have innovated on. This is probably done as a way of punishing all Devola/Popola units for the sins of their predecessors. That said, likely because the "original" Devola and Popola failed in stopping Brother Nier from ruining Project Gestalt, all Androids are now hard-coded to feel general dislike for all Devola and Popola units. The Devola and Popola of Nier Automata are actually just the same line of Androids as the twins seen in Nier Replicant. ![]() And, this is exactly what makes it so painful that they end up "betraying" and trying to kill Nier to bring back the Shadowlord and finish Project Gestalt.Īnd, in Nier Automata these two twins reappear in the Resistance Base, sort of. The connection between these twins, the Village they take care of, and both versions of Nier (Father Nier and Brother Niet) are very well-written and believable. Devola and Popola, the red-headed twins of Nier's hub area, are some of the more memorable characters in the game outside of the main cast AKA Nier, Weiss, Kaine, and Emil.
