NieR:Reincarnation [SUMMARY VIDEO]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- You wanted this video and so I finally made it.
I will admit that, this is a very bare-bones recap and summary of the events, only going over the characters and the basic plot of each arc. You cannot get the full scope of nieR Reincarnation from a summary video. Even if you don't feel like watching 20 hours of gameplay, you are missing so much by not watching every bit of content you can on this game. So, while this recap does cover the basics of NieR Reincarnation, it does not include a lot of the deeper lore...the tie-ins with other Drakenier games, nor does it talk about the connections with the EX stories, event stories, and Recollections of Dusk.
. . .
There are spoilers in this video! And VERY graphic details!
Spoiler Warnings for Drakengard 1 / NieR Replicant Ending E / NieR Automata Branch C.
All gameplay and cutscenes used in this video are my own, recorded while the game was still online.
. . .
Once again, a huge thank you to all who have supported me in making Reincarnation content. It has been my honor to archive this amazing game and to have gotten the opportunity to genuinely play NieR 3 in a way that many people will never get to experience. Likewise, I will apologize for how long this video took to get out but honestly, the app shutting down hit me much harder than I ever expected it to. I didn't realize just how bad I would feel after the app I played religiously for two years shut down. Also, for those that say this video is "lazy" you're right. It is. I did that on purpose. A game as good as Reincarnation cannot be understood with a mere summary and, I think it's almost an insult to the art itself to hope that 40 minutes to an hour can summarize all those years of work and effort. If this video does interest you and you want to know more, I have the whole longplay in my NieR Reincarnation playlist. I also have every EX story, RoD story, and Event story in there as well.
If you have any questions, I am always happy to answer them in the comment-section as well! Enjoy!!!
omg i cant express how thankful i am to have stumbled across this video. i wasnt able to finish the game due to losing my account a few weeks before the game shut down. you did an incredible job explaining it ( as clearly as a yoko taro game can be explained LOL ) 💕 thank you so much.
My pleasure! It was overly simplified as anything more and this video would be 3-4 hours long but, I think it's a very good introduction to hopefully get people to watch the longplay so they can absorb it all. I'm sorry you couldn't finish it before EOS :(
why did the game crush down?? what part of the game is this even , could anyone explain please
I made it to the end of the first arc, fio and levania but never to the rest. i'm so glad someone archived the entire series before the game was lost. I wish I had archived some of the Nier events in other games that we'll never get to see again
I got to do PGR's NieR event and I recorded the entirety of the NieR raids in FFXIV but yeah...I wish I had done more NieR events for archiving as well but Rein really did take up most of my free time.
Thank you for the video. I love the story.
My pleasure!
Thanks! I downloaded the game back in 2022 but I was never able to play it due to its mechanics.
And now that it finished I can check the story.
My pleasure!
It's kinda out of the context considering that this NieR Reincarnation answer most of the questions in Replicant and Automata, I don't know if there's going to have next NieR. Just like Drakengard there's only 3 series, of course this only my assumption.
Great content with simple explanation and summary you give in the video, alsoi hope you create more Drakennier content in the future❤
Thank you!
YO THAT WAS NUTS! :O So basically, reincarnation takes place in the matrix? Its more than that, but thats the gist right? I love how each iteration of the franchies goes into different aspects of the games.
Drakenguard
Nier
Automata
Reincarnation
I'm not for gacha games, even now. So I hope reincarnation turns into an anime at some point regardless that the servers shut down. Also, yoko taro is clever for useing "human data" for cross overs. Lol
The Automata anime has already made hints to Reincarnation if you know where to look ;)
But also The Cage is a database where human Memories are stored, yes. It contains all of human history. But it is a lot more complex and we still don't know exactly how it works. Likewise, it's where we get the weapon stories.
@@TheSamUtari I haven't started season 2 yet. I'm gonna wait until its finished. But in season 1 whenever 9S hacked a boss, we its interpretation of the mind. Like the "I am beautiful" boss for example. Buts a machine. I thought of this as what little humanity the bosses are trying to have. But simular to androids having made up back stories, its possible that the machines are taking human data from the cage actually being whatever person they got. Rather than thinking "thats what humans do". Like getting ambushed in the desert by cowboys or in pascals villages with the sisters for example. Those were actual cowboys back in that time amd they are actually sisters whoever they might be.
The only mobile game I’ve been with from beginning to end
Same!!! I miss it so much!
I know right! It’s like a part of me is missing. As you can see by me coming back to this video lol
This game deserves some kind of rework on consoles, putting it on mobile was a huge mistake, despite it being amazing by itself, imagine team battles with actual combat, being able to switch between a team of 3 characters
Literally WuWa but NieR Reincarnation
You're missing the point of how much budget WuWa had compared to Reincarnation, ofc they would had done it if they had the possibility
Nah they're gonna move on to the next nier
I am going through Nier Automata recently....depressed how good it is and how it seems not concluded but apparently is? Also sad I can't se this game and hope they recon it kinda into being a branch into a real fleshed out deeper sequel to the direct Replicant- Automata characters/story.
You have no idea how thankful i am to you for making this video.
I never got far into reincarnation due to its nature as a mobile gacha, but as a massive nier fan, i very mucb appreciate the story, so experiencing a short audio summary version of it is good too.
Thank you.
My pleasure! I am glad I could help! It was an amazing game but I understand that it was not the type of game everyone enjoyed.
thank you for this. there aren't a lot of videos on this game so this is a god send.
A lot more videos came out after they introduced 10H but yeah, not enough people have covered this amazing game so I am happy to help!
You truly outdone yourself! I’ve been in the drakenier franchise for a long time and I was about to get into reincarnation until the unfortunate shutdown. Just like mama, you truly save most of the data for us, the people (viewers) to see. I’m truly greatful for your work!
Thank you so much!!!! Your comment nearly made me cry! T^T
It was an honor to capture as much as I could before EOS- I am glad this content is here for the people that wanted to experience the game but couldnt.
Amazing video, I got the chance to play before EOS. The story was phenomenal, gameplay was hit or miss at times. But boy oh boy, how the game connects literally everything in the DrakenNieR timelines is just fantastic. I really can't wait to see where Yoko Taro takes us next! Personally I want a console/PC game again but I'll play anything for this story.
Yeah I will play whatever Yoko Taro throws at us but I also would prefer something on console/PC. Mobile never was my favorite thing.
NOTE: Fixed the overlapping audio issue that was in the previous version. I'm still not sure how that even happened to begin with lol and yes...I'm a bit sick. So please forgive the scratchy voice. This sinus infection or whatever is really kicking my butt right now.
Im soooo lost rn lmao like is her and the red girl she met then uh fused with or whatever? Is that the red girl in Automata? And then like uh dayum idek brah like whats yokos next move fr 😭 at the NieR Concert we get a story about 2b and 9s after ending e in automata so that was peak but like idk im still so lost on what the last cutscenes means like idk im feeling like im confusing myself my small brain cant handle this info
It is very confusing. But yes, HER and the Red Girl fused. More like, HER took in the Red Girl's data since the Red Girl could not be repaired. And yes, it is the same Red Girl from Automata. The Red Girl is the machine network.
this video showed up exactly when i needed it, i just really needed an updated lore recap of this game but couldnt find any recent one, thanks for this
My pleasure!
Thank you! I know a lot of people who would like this!!
Glad to hear it! It's my pleasure!
Thank u so much for this video. I donwloaded the app a month before its shut down and I was really sad when I couldn't continue so it's amazing to be able to glipse into its main story. again thank uuu so so so much :3
Awesome! I missed out on everything after chapter 12. So when I make my breakdown videos it is hard to make these connections. But now I have your videos to watch. Sweet! Thank you for making these videos!
Glad I could help!
To me the biggest twist after 10H was the Last Hidden Archive
Because it actually talks about the Reincarnation of Mankind and that ACCORD knew everything (because of course she does lol)
Because OF COURSE she does haha.
Yeah, for me it was the hidden archives where 10H basically learns to create beings on her own but that she must remain in that weird subspace for them to exist. Wish they expanded more on this concept and what-not...but it's NieR hahaha.
@@TheSamUtari Yeah, for me it was really weird when at the end of Act 1 I realized we were in the Moon Base, like so far Yoko always avoided direct links between his works
You don't understand how helpful this video is
Glad I could help! :D
thank you so much for making this ! it was a pleasure to watch :)
Thanks so so much for making this video! I played since launch but fell off around Act 3 and didn't get a chance to finish it. It also hit me very hard when the game shut down. I still miss it to this very day. It kept me sane while I was in school and fed my DrakeNier lore itch 😭
My pleasure! Yeah, I miss it every day~ such an addictive app and so beautiful!
I’m so happy someone is out there retelling the whole story :3
Wonderfully done. I played Rein pretty hardcore up until the end, so this'll be nice to share with people who ask me what it was about. I don't think this game would ever be redone as a console style game, thought I do hope they rebox it as like... I dunno, a fancy visual novel? Or maybe something akin to 13 Sentinels. One can hope at least.
I've been writing video content for Nier in my own language and work with my country channel, now your video help me a lot for the Reincarnation story. We will definitely credit you for all the effort, and thank you for making it easy to understand for us.
My pleasure! I am glad I could help! Thank you for your own efforts as well!
Thank you so much for this - I had to upgrade my phone when I was almost done Act I (a whiiiile back), and it made me start over again - so the game just sat on my phone for the longest time in spite lol. I finally picked it back up again shortly before the end of service announcement🥲🥲
What are your thoughts on this helping connect the story to Thou Shalt Not Die (if you have any!)? I am trying to find where I found what I had seen before... but I believe there were some theories TSND kids were like the beginning of the Hamelin Organization and the "Crusaders" part of the museum seeming to follow similar paths? While it's not confirmed I feel like it HAS to be connected to DrakeNier somehow and Reincarnation seems to be the one starting to connect everything!
You're quite welcome! Just in general, I do believe that Reincarnation was the attempts to bridge the gaps. It told us once more about the branching paths and this time alluding to pieces of the more "successful" paths being picked out via the owner of the library (which we know is Accord) to give humans/androids/ etc a better chance at succeeding in the next branch of things. As far as the anime goes, I feel less that Reincarnation was an attempt to link to the anime more that I feel the anime was Yoko Taro really solidifying Reincarnation as canon since some people wanna blow it off due to it being a mobile game. I have thoughts when it comes to Rein and the anime...but I think there would be too much to go over. NieR is very complicated. But 100% Reincarnation was the start where all the pieces were finally making a more coherent picture.
We love game preservation.!!!!
Thank you for this video I really wanted to know about this games story but 1. It has ended its service 2. I did not have time to play it nor the will at the time
@@Talia_Vantas My pleasure! I was more than happy to archive this because it was a great time!
Wait a second. A tree? So like the one in Episode 23 of Nier Automata??!!!
And in Ending E of Replicant.
I love this game and I really miss this game
Thank you very much
@@guadaluperodriguez8365 I miss the game too :(
And it's my pleasure!
I really wanted to play this game but my phone os stopped being supported by the game when the second chapter went live...
I am very sorry to hear that :(
i just saw this video, and thank you for making this. i played reincarnation since launch and stop playing around after chapter 2, when i learned about its eos couple of months i felt kinda sad. i dont remember why i stopped playing it, maybe because of the gameplay, the grind the gacha im not sure but other than that, the ambience, the setting, the artstyle the music, the story, the emotions, the writing, man oh man, i love it so much, its so sad, melancholic and i admit i got teary-eyed a couple of times because of the story.
team nier really doesnt dissapoint.
NieR games are amazing and yeah- I sobbed a lot through the story. Still, it's great that you got to play it!
omg thank you so much for the recap i was unable to get myself to finish the game past sun and moon
My pleasure! Sun & Moon was a great chapter but the final arc really blows the whole thing out of the water!
The cage is the data base on the moon!!? from nier automata!!?
Yes! :)
Thank you very much for this video!
It's a real shame that they decided to make it a gatcha mobile game because it looks like a very interesting sequel to automata.
I still hope that one day they find a way to make it a console game somehow so I can experience the story.
It wasnt a bad gacha game really. Even if it wasnt eberyone's cup of tea, it luckily was not hard to play. I dont think they will ever make Rein a console game it would change the whole "feel" of the game- but JP is releasing a book for it so maybe that will eventually come to the States. If they did make another NieR game it might reference Rein but yeah...I don't see them stripping the whole game down and redoing it just bc people didnt like the mobile aspect. It's not really Yoko's style haha.
@@TheSamUtari For me gatcha games of any sort are never enjoyable that’s why I never got into the game. And you are right Yoko Taro will probably never recreate the game. However, I would definitely like if we get any sort of other media like a novel, anime, movie, etc…
This is a great, concise summary! Very well done! I love that you included the chapter trailers at the start of each one. The music still gives me chills. I didn't get a chance to play the alternate Sun/Moon route before EOS. I know it's out of scope for this video, but could you maybe point me to info on the location you mentioned that changes between Hina's & Yuzuki's routes?
Thank you! Yes, the music still makes me super emotional. I felt like the trailers were absolutely needed so I am glad you like it! So, one route had Kaine's hut in the field of flowers, the other location was similar but I had thought that it was a different version of Emil's place. Now I feel as if I might be mistaken. I also didnt get to do route B due to trying to finish every EX and RoD story but I thought from early screens/trailers there was one different location depending on the route. I will need to look into it more.
@@TheSamUtari Ahhh ok, thanks! If it helps, when I played, I got to Kaine's hut with Yuzuki and there were several of his family's personal items laying on the ground. That section of the game hit like a ton of bricks. 🥲
GOATed video. I wish I could play it
Thank you!
Thanks you Thank you so much for creating the NieR: Reincarnation summary video! It was incredibly helpful and well put together. Your effort in breaking down the story and connecting the dots really made it easier to understand the game’s plot and its place in the NieR universe. I appreciate all the hard work you put into it!
Thank you so much! It was my pleasure!
what is yoko taro doing nowadays is he still with square enix?
He has another project in the works but we dont know what it is.
@@TheSamUtari All I know and remember is that he was supposed to make this mobile game where real world companies are evil in anime girl form that iirc failed? Do you know anything about it?
I didn't follow him lately so idk what he is up to now. Besides NieR Reincarnation that reached it's end and that they are gonna release the book about it idk much else.
Also I heard the rumors that he had a quarrel with Square Enix and doesn't work with them anymore or something?
@@TheSamUtari Oh and also the anime. I believe it got new episodes in July.
It would be interesting if it came on consoles after the end of service.
It might have been interesting but given how Reincarnation works, as it was, it would not have worked on console. They would have had to literally rebuild it for a console audience.
@@TheSamUtari Only the Switch and maybe Steam Deck would be able to work with the touch screen like with what they did with TWEWY remastered.
I hope this story gets adapted to a movie, anime, or maybe a cryptic flashback minigame in the next main-line nier game.
Amazing video ❤❤
Thank you!
Next game in the series. NIER: ACCORD
Finally giving a better understanding of the split timelines and the multitude of paths layed out. Maybe turning back the tides and finding light in the broken world
@@senpapilunar That would be interesting. I really want to explore more of the timeline fighting against the Legion and Red Eye.
