Bump. I just learned they're having a concert in LA 2 days after my birthday AND THEY ARE ALREADY SOLD OUT.

About ready to throw hands.

Did I already mention I got tickets to that concert in Berlin?

In this case, they sold out within an hour of being released

All the music in the Nier games (and the FF14 Nier Raids) is really amazing. However I still think they should have given us the option of using the original Nier soundtrack in Replicant. The new versions are really really great but the old ones had something the new ones are missing. Especially Blu Bird.

I think that's fair. Though the remade music is still incredible.

I haven't heard Drakengard 1's, but I know 3 is pretty legendarily good.

It's not on spotify though, so I can't listen at work. Neither is Nier Replicant V1.22.

:(

Nier Replicant V1.22 is the exact same as Gesalt and the regular Nier.

Something subtle the game does that doesn't often get attention is how most tracks have three variants so that the OST can seamlessly transition from calm scenery to tense moment to battle without ever having to hard reset the current track that is playing.

The original Nier OST is superior to the remake

considering the remake used an actual orchestra, it's a shame how much better some songs like the Wretched Automatons arrangement from the CDs with the harsichord is than we got in game

The soundtrack is what I remember most about OG Nier.
I've been wanting to replay it and Automata, maybe I'll just suck it up and get the remake and pretend that I'm still Papa Nier.

No, it's not. It has entirely remade and new tracks.

Like, for example, one of the best tracks of both: Shadowlord.

OG: https://youtu.be/9vZUbyM5PxY?si=ciatnJ2zmUFFqeBI

V1.22: https://youtu.be/AdYIAlJYSCE?si=Wp5SfjE8LaIEG2RA

Another fantastic one: Kaine - Salvation.

OG: https://youtu.be/FP4duz43t_A?si=a9jdxeCUWR-Pe7xU

V1.22: https://youtu.be/lM5B59zBDYQ?si=lyjUI5uIyrISJn01

Then there's the new tracks that appear in ending E and the extra chapter.

Trust me, they are very different. And incredible pieces in general.

I don't see one as superior or worse than the other, tbh. The new versions and arrangements are still very good, just different enough to stand on their own in their own ways. I love them all.

You can especially notice this during the more tiered tracks, or the songs that shift into others. Like Automata's ending E song, Shadowlord, etc. They will seamlessly shift between different intensities and still keep the tone perfectly.

Treat it as a different experience entirely tbh. Like watching an alternate universe version of it. Keep your memories of the old one and build new ones with the new game.

You also get to see Papa in the formerly DLC segment, which is required to get all the endings!

So good. Feels like a...shit, cheerful, celebratory sort of experience. Which you'd expect from an amusement park. But at the same time, lonely and sad. Like it's missing something. Something you can't quite place, but know it's not there when it should be. Eerie and somber, but jovial and happy. I love it.

It's a way of expressing shock at something being better than it's expected to be. Specifically for a game that likely wasn't expected to sell more than a million copies.

Sometimes people use terms like that. It's an expression.

It's an idiom. If you really need it explained, the intent behind the phrase is that the content (in this case, the music) is either so good or so bad that it should not be expected of game developers. In this case, people are complementing the music to such a degree that we are saying it would not have been reasonable to expect or demand that the music be as good as it is. It transcended expectations. Also keep in mind that, at the time Automata released, Yoko Taro was a nobody that kept releasing broken, grindy, borderline boring games with interesting narratives. So expectations were low, and Keiichi Okabe hadn't yet really seen his moment in the spotlight for general audiences to recognize his name and raise their expectations of what he can deliver.
