"A red dragon falls from the heavens... Ah, that memory has been lost. A shame. It was a favorite of mine..."
I cannot express how much I love this part and how emotional I used to get whenever I had to read it again
Funny thing is, in grimoire nier only that tree have memory of our protagonist after deleting his own existence for kaine.
My jaw dropped when I read this in game
I havent played any of Drakengard games and I am unaware of the story, yet the phrasing combined with the music gives chills somehow
What does this mean ? Can anyone explain ?
Everything started with a Giant and a Dragon....
Apolion, you do know this story took place after Drakengard 1 (2003) since Caim and Angelus (The Dragon) fought against the Queen-beast: claimed to be Gaia (The Giant) that cause Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan in ruins over the maso/White Chlorination Syndrome and the failed operations of Project Gestalt and Replicant.
@@bernardorios9948 yeah I know, that's why I said this hehe
drakkengard 3, right?
@@FreedomPLMarcin Drakengard 1 actually. The ending E
@@psycodude565 and if we go further back, everything started with a flower
_It all started years ago, with a father and his daughter trudging through the snow, at a time when snow should not fall, alone in the ruins of a fallen world._
_...or perhaps it was a brother and his sister. One is lost so easily through the fog of time._
_...no, it all began with a vicious murderer in a pair of Crocs and a majestic red dragon. Honestly why was he even wearing Crocs_
_...perhaps it all truly began with a foulmouthed warrior and a flower._
The answers to this question has since been lost to the annals, but one thing remains true, through Kainé and A2, that foul mouthed warrior still lives.
@@Gojira98 A cultured opinion indeed
That damn flower...
@@someboiwhogivesadamn to be honest, Kali reminded me of Zero the most. Kainé _did_ take up a lot from her "grandmother", so your sentiment still rings true
I think the foul-mouthed warrior and the flower is Zero despite some replies because she predates Kaine timewise and held the pre-evolved lunar tear growing from her eye
I pray we get a Drakengard trilogy remake, those games are even more obscure and unknown than Nier. I would love to just have the complete series on a single console so people can experience the full mind blowing story.
Just Drakengard 1 and 3 remake since it has more potential to be better. 2 however I'm not sure, maybe a reboot would work out.
@@Lamp94100 I think it would be interesting to see Drakengard 2 remade with Yoko Taro's vision behind it. I did think some aspects were kind of like that like going into Mana's mind to fight her demons and some of the dragon history stuff, but yeah a lot of it falls flat. Legna was a pretty good character though.
I hope we can get some of the guys at Platinum Games for those remakes just like this game if Square decides to make them
@@SacrificAbominat I don't yoko taro would want to work on the same game. He did mention he doesn't like to work on something that he already did before
@@Desmond-xp4wr Yeah his time would be better spent on a new Drakengard, Nier, or another title instead of trying to polish a turd. Still If they do decide to remake/remaster Drakengard 1 through 3 it would be nice if he did add some changes to 2's story so it better fit with 1 and 3.
The despair tone really hits you on second playthrough. There is nothing epic about your task, you are literally up to ruin the world. Song perfectly captures this false heroism.
agreed
3:27 was absolutely and incredibly perfect on that last visit to the Lost Shrine.
That part, that specific part - that incredibly specific instrumental, made me fall utterly in love with this game. There's no going back for me. It's perfect.
Exactly how I felt! The anticipation of what's to come and then the music hits you so hard.
So heartwrenchingly beautiful, like you said- Perfect
yeah love that part, definitely noticed it when it came up in game
the vocals always conveyed to some sense of despair(they had to do it, save Yonah) in addition to a tragic "lambs going to the slaughter" kinda deal situation; they were all walking straight to their deaths(Ending E notwithstanding)
I played nier when I was too young for it... that opening sequence terrified me. The snow in summer, the shades, the feeling of being cornered and hopeless, that music... now, even years later nier is still one of my favorite things ever :D
Now instead of being terrified, you're in too much despair to even know what fear is once you're done with the game
The shades you fought so hard were human souls.
@@user-tb4do1oq3k And that snow is...😳
I never played the original but once I play automata I knew I had to play Nier replicant and boy ever second of it was worth it
Nier replicant and automata are now my favourite games
Everybody gangsta till you realize that's not snow
Wouldn't it actually be snow because it is cold enough.
Or is there THAT much people dust it's causing it to be colder?
@@flockaveli2968 there's a few reasons I can think of,
A: because the sun no longer sets, they could just be in a region that's cold
B: same idea but the seasons don't work properly anymore
C: this is a little weird, but in Ashes of Dreams, it mentions "clouds came and covered the sun", and during the intro sequence it is completely overcast. Whether this is a result of nuclear winter or what I don't know, though it is interesting how frequently the sky becomes overcast during the main game as well
isnt it salt from the legion?
Not snow gachiHYPER
@@elkay_ezh2o Legions are basically humans who turned into salt correct?
When you get halfway through the lost shrine at the end of the game and this starts playing, I felt that
Look at all that beautiful white chlorinated people dust 😍
Wait what?? 👀
@@MrGillie12 It's a... long story
since you've been spoiled, you might want to look up a plot summary, Nier (and I guess Drakengard 1 since that's essentially Nier 0 if you go for ending E) get ridiculous
Maso in summer
You guys wanna go outside and make a white chlorinated people dust-man?
How is that beautiful when all these were originally people who gave up their life to turn into salt
Fighting your way up the tower for your sister, then this track kicks in. The pinnacle of story telling in 50 years of gaming from my very first ZX Spectrum
At first I was unsure about this remix, but as it went on, I found that it felt even more heavily steeped in desperation. There was a greater sense of urgency than before. That just made it all the better and now I'm even more excited for the remake.
Right? Something about it reminds me very much of the tone of Crumbling Lies: front from Automata. The sound of a fireballing meteoric fall of everything.
It's the climbing in the Lost Shrine while this plays in the background that makes it feel so much more impacting
playing this while doing lost shrine gave me an emotion i dont know how to explain, it was simply amazing
I feel you. Nier emotions are impossible to explain...
every time i went back to the library after getting a different ending, i'd look forward to this moment the most. such a good feeling, brings a tear to my eyes every time
Nier is more than just a game. Nier is a life changing experience. A true masterpiece. i will never forget it.
Just finished route A in nier automata for the first time. Phenomenal so far. Can't wait to finish the rest and explore the rest of the franchise. Very curious to see how these installments connect to each other. What a great time to discover this great series!!
just to be certain, you do know that route A is just the first chapter of the game and that you aren't done until you get ending E right?
@@Anddroiden yeah. I'm halfway through route b right now. I accidentally got the G ending as well haha. Loving this game but I find myself rushing the second playthrough to get back to where I was haha
@@joefawley9264 don't do that, there's a few new sidequests that has opened up and one of them is great, so i would really recommend pacing yourself and enjoy this second playthrough. One thing i will say is that many don't find the hacking part that great and if you don't like hacking in combat try to make a POD build and deal ranged damage.
@@Anddroiden oh very cool!! I left a few side missions left over by accident but did most of them for playthrough A. So far I like the hacking but I'm a fan of oldschool scrolling shooters. It was actually really cool hacking into the "beautiful" robot to get more back story. That's where I left off last!
I wish I could wipe my memory and experience it for the first time again, I hope you have fun!!
This is one of my favourite series and after 10 years have I only just realised the horrible truth...
...that's not snow
what is it then?
@@justkavin1128 Sodium Chloride, play Drakengard
@@justkavin1128 why do people speak in riddles on youtube? The white substance is salt, but salt from another world, and more specifically the body parts of a dead goddess, the salt contaminate people with the goddess' will and giving them 2 choices: become her brethren or become salt. Lots people became salt unknowingly.
@@filinkcyt ahh i see. Thank you tho, and sorry for asking such question... I thought it was a snow at first, until they mention that it isn't.
@@justkavin1128 it’s ok, people here don’t speak straight 🙄
This is so epic. 3:27 and beyond gives off the feeling of the game much better.
That part is literally an eargasm. It made this version even better than the original.
Chills every time
Does anyone else hear a voice behind the choir going on during this part? It reminds me of the growing wings song from Drakengard
"Snow in Summer" of the original OST was epic.
This one is the greatest epic update.
All NieR Gestalt / Replicant Original and ver.1.22 are a masterpiece. So beautiful...
I would not worry about the intro. Don't forget both original Nier and Qutomata had several layers to each song. The intro will most likely still be a choir only.
At least I hope.
This track is an extra, it will not be in the game.
all these remastered tracks theyre uploading are all gonna be part of an extra cd that u get from buying a special edition of the game, these remastered tracks arent actually gonna be in game playing while u play.
This is how it is, when played fully.
There are indeed several layers to the song that play separately at certain times.
@@AlexxxMYLSince2013 you must feel silly now lol.
@@mybestfriendisaduck7992 why would i?
3:28 gives me chills every time I hear it. Hands down one of the best osts.
You know what would be a cool game idea? A game set in this sort of setting, fighting the legion with the might of humanity in a losing battle.
More Nier is always good. More Nier please.
The CD Drama basically does this, takes place before Replicant and where Humans still lived but the Legion Outbreak happened
It's funny how...I didn't really get into snow in summer at the beginning of the game...but when it came back in the last shrine. I immediately fell in love..the slow build up as you climb. The added intrustments or phrases that add so much more emotion during the final climb before you enter into the unknown
THIS IS INCREDIBLE, I JUST CANT WAIT TO PLAY THIS
It is
I played it
10/10
To think this started as a Joke ending with a touch of Bad ending to a reverse isekai genre.
It was never confirmed to be a joke ending. Look up the video "Ending E is not a joke!"
@@budgiecat2885 it was a "practical joke" doesn't mean it has to be funny or that it's not meant to be taken seriously, the guy in that video is a schizo
@@wwld9823 We'll never really know but judging on how serious they built off of it I'm more inclined to believe it wasnt meant as a joke
@@budgiecat2885 considering the director said it himself I believe him
@@wwld9823 the director did not say it himself
When you make an already awesome song even better. Okabe is out of this world with his music in both NieR games.
2:01 hits so hard...
the ost is selling me this game
When i played replicant for the first time i knew i was in for an experience. When I got to this moment at lost shrine, i knew i'd found the game i'd been looking for for 14 years, and there's never going to be one like it again. No story has ever made me feel like that moment did, not even automata.
Automatas story is way better than replicants imo.
@@trevorveillette8415explain why and how
@@trevorveillette8415 nah they both masterpieces
How do so many people not like the remade soundtrack? In my opinion it made an already amazing soundtrack 100 times better with absolutely no exceptions. Every single song is so much better
The only one I get is Gods bound by rules, I miss the heavy percussion. But overall it's a significant improvement
Yea, tbh I feel the new arrangements are just simply better than the og, especially with them not sounding as compressed. The only real exceptions being Song of the Ancients and Ashes of Dreams, but that could just be me.
I sense a lot of "hipster contarianism" with a lot of the more negative comments on 1.22's music. I attribute a lot of this to people trying to establish their drakengard/nier "bona fides" by dumping on this new product (and I'd go further to say that a lot of these people probably started with automata and have some irrational fear of being seen as a bandwagoner).
I'm not an OG but I started with drakengard 2 and played 3, nier, and automata on release. Some tracks I prefer 2010s version, but with maybe one or two exceptions the 1.22 soundtrack is still exceptional. Even if you prefer the old OST (which I do for some of the tracks, honestly), the new versions are still fantastically close and still thematic. And outside of the compositional choices, mainly gods bound by rules and wretched automatons, the 1.22 soundtrack has much crisper and cleaner audio mixing.
Look at this song's comments - people absolutely sure, 100%, months before release, that it would ruin the intro sequence, the very same intro sequence where it wasn't used. Instead it gets used in the final Lost Shrine ascent, and it fits brilliantly. Wonder why they haven't edited or deleted their probably false assertions. Maybe it was never about the music, but about establishing clout.
@@EricGreenFrightened-Crayfish I actually like more the new version of song of the ancients
Snow in summer....This come very meaningfull in these times
Please, Square Enix, include the option to change between the new OST and the original in the game! This new version is great, but it would be awesome to not let the older one get lost in time, ever.
UPDATE: Yeah, fortunately (nothing really wrong with this remix, but it's not the one the game truly needs) Square Enix's Facebook posted these versions are included in an audio disc that will come with some limited editions of the game... so hopefully the originals (re-recorded or not) are intact. NieR has, hands down, the best OST of all existing media and I'm not exaggerating. :-)
true
Old version is better
It's not part of the ingame Soundtrack. These are just special edit versions for an album.
@@nonic_ it is in fact ingame new OST look the new gameplay and i hope they will add the option to switch them.
@@thereisnico IT IS ?? PLEASE TELL ME IT'S NOT ! Please.. Please 😭😭 It's fine if they put this in the album, but putting this vers in the game....... 😭😭😭😭😭
sorry to say i don't like it. i mean it's great for fighting bosses but putting it in the beginning it doesn't sounds right.....
*”So this is the power of the black book”*
Can't wait to play
Same
I liked the first Nier story much more than Automata's, but I hope Yoko Taro could make some new things for the Nier remake story
Wish granted: Father Nier makes an appearance and a whole new boss was added
@@layers5255 Don't forget a completely new ending
@@oneofthekindscarf8612 Hell yeah
I found automatas story to be much better than replicants.
I prefer the philosophical depth over the moral approach of replicant
Can't wait to listen to the full OST😭
I never really connected the meaning of Snow in Summer until I remembered that Drakengard Ending E takes place in June.
It’s because the prologue takes place in summer, as stated in the setting card “Summer, 2049/2052”, right in the first cutscene. Sorry for bringing you down like this.
@@romo7919 wait, so nier takes place 46 years AFTER ending E?
This song feels like I'm fighting to save a world that's already dead
Instant goosebumps, only a few songs can do that.
these soundtracks affect your inner core especially when youre playing the game "
Truely
Yeah man. Some of the music in this game as well as Automata are really good for sleeping and meditating.
Really vitalizes the spirit.
I got them all saved on my playlist named Suffering.
3:28 i remember when i first played this game.. i stood in the prologue getting lost and marveling at this part of the song from there i knew i was gonna love this game
Also Ost's are Remastered...?
Jesus christ
Hopefully it won't end up like FFX remastered OST
These in fact are not in the actual game. These tracks that say "another edit: Weiss edition" are remixes that at the moment are exclusive to the white snow edition of replicant.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487.... is a remake of the ps3 title. I do have my doubts of how much are they using from the old version (Façade doesn't look so much different) but is expected that everything (from sound effects, OST, textures, character models and items as well, etc) is rebuilt from scratch... but I still think they will reuse some assets from the Cavia version, if they have access.
who this Jesus guy you mention a lot
@@jorgemurilo7779 Indeed, this doesn't sound like Okabe's style at all, these are "sidetracks" featuring other composers, we still have no idea how the new OST might sound, the only clues we have are in the trailers.
Imagine, is 2022 and in the summer game fest present a little teaser.
A red dragon, flying.
Then the title shows up.
Drag-on Dragoon Re-make.
The whole world hears the sound of every Drakengard-NieR fan crying out in a single voice. A sound clear as Bells tolling on Christmas day. *They.will.hear.a.sound.*
this is such an amazing edit, especially when you're fighting. it just sets a really good mood for it
2049
...
Summer
*2052
Goosebumps..
@@RealLotus002 that's right, this is Replicant
Well they changed it to 2053.
Humanity is on its last leg, your sister is sick and you're stuck in a wasteland made of the salt of the deceased humans that once populated the area. you are abandoned. alone. Attacked by human souls that have relapsed and gone insane.
The more i hear this theme the more i realize how much its specific elements fit this scenario perfectly. The main instrumental sounding very somber, reflecting the hopelessness of the situation everyone is in. The chants almost sounding like cries for help. Cries that will never reach their intended ears. The ramping up of the music towards the end signifying that despite how hopeless and dire nier and by extension Humanity's circumstances are, they will still fight to the end. Even if that means sacrifice. Even even it means giving up your body and becoming a gestalt to get the smallest amount of hope that yonah and the human race could possibly be saved.
If they don't play this at my funeral, then I'm not dying!
hahahahahahaha gooooodo joiek xDXEDXDDXDDD
More like the funeral of the humanity
So you have chosen... Servitude.
I will make it "snow"
Are you wining son?
Yes, but...the cost was worthy?
As if this Theme wasn't already a masterpiece, you had to elevate it even more Okabe-san.
Seeing a lot of mixed reception to the couple of new tracks they've released. I'm actually very pleased to hear them sound so distinct from the originals, rather than just being a higher-fidelity, orchestrated version of the old OST, like the Demon Souls Remake or, going a bit further back, FFXII Zodiac Age. It would be ideal if they actually offered the option to switch between them in-game, obviously, but even if they don't the originals will still be around for us to listen to. God knows I do all the time.
I’ve only played Automata admittedly but I really like both versions of this song.
(And yes I am really looking forward to the remake and finally getting to experience this masterpiece)
When the music picks up as your fighting it just hypes you up!!!
I can't put into words how incredible this is.
Thank you SE for FINALLY PUTTING THIS ON TH-cam. I MEAN DAMN. XD
Its been on TH-cam. Unfortunately awhile back they removed it as a music track however fleeting words edit version is marked as a music track
On the way to Shadowlord's Castle
Nier is not just a game. It's pain.
Epic song for the last time ever you see humans in Nier
Hello game of the year for me😁
This game must be game of the year
I love how the new version of this has some rage and malice hiding under the sorrow
This all started because a flower threatened the very existence of another world.
I cried, I been wanting a remaster for a long time
大好き……
Me, playing Nier for the first time, unaware it was actually a sequel: Hmmm... post-apocalyptic, snow in the middle of summer, neat.
Me, now having played the entire Nier trilogy: That's not snow...
the first time i heard the song in the game i was kinda like oh cool neato... and now when i listen to it i get chills man, goosebumps all over - definitely an unexpected favorite track
heck yes i blast the ost in the car on my way to and from work lmao
Impressive stuff, respect to the devs and everyone involved, all these remastered tracks are beautiful, im so excited to play this remake soon!!!
White Chlorination Syndrome:
Welcome back, old friend.
Excellent.
why can’t I stop listening to this
Amazing
This intro was so haunting. I loved it!
great memories im excited for this game.
Such a good track, really gives the feeling of desperation and hope that plays out in the prologue.
I usually slept on the original, man does this version hit so much different during the Lost Shrine segment.
I don't know why but I had crying yesterday when a played to remake... That song is just sad and beautiful now
I love the attention to detail their showing to this remaster/reimagining. Keep it up square 🙏
Trials of Mana,Final Fantasy VII Remake and now Nier Replicant,Square Enix remake are amazing.
@@jorgemurilo7779 At this point I can only hope that they don't release another broken PC port :(
@@Desmond-xp4wr yes
Thank you Keiichi Okabe for this Masterpice
damn this ost goes hard
This remix is amazing. I have complete faith that the remastered ost will be just as good!
Soundgasmic!
Beautiful and epic
The og was good, this is Mozart levels of good. Such a blend of harmonies and instruments it’s unbelievable how much better this is lol
3:18 made this the best song in the game
It looks amazing ngl
Certified lunar tear moment
Ok this version doesn't do it justice when you actually in the game and the song transitions when the mini boss appears in the lost shrine one of my favs on Replicant ver1.2
The song progressively getting more intense as you climb the shrine is one of my favorite things in the game.
@@eternalpain7762 yeessss omg 😌😌
Anyone has the lost shrine version of the song? I don’t think it’s this one
@@arturjr.8580 It's just the normal in-game version. You should be able to find it with a simple search.
I cant wait to hear hills of the radiant wind
I 💕 the video......so Amazing
finally, found the epic nier song
Man I'm ready to play this game!!!!
I love this part 3:28
The music super nice ☺️☺️☺️
Love the nier series!
Love. Crimson Blood. Poison. Eternity. Revenge. Two. Sacrifice. Mother. Ritual. Scarlet. Prayers. Heresy. Hell. Solitude. Clouded Skies. Madness. Goddess. The World Watchers. A Door. Us
_The DRAGON plummets_
_From the tower of red thunder_
_and where it falls no one has seen_
What are those?
絶望の始まり、、、こう聞くとかっこいいな
Cant even be Salty anymore without someone trying to throw the book at you.
best ost of 2021
The strings from 2:00 onwards are so heart wrenching... I just beat NieR on PS3, should I buy the remaster and play it again in all it's glory?
I'd say it's well worth it. Graphical upgrades are incredible, gameplay is tighter. Brother Nier changes the flavor of the story and character dynamics significantly enough to be a different experience. That's not counting the new dungeon/boss, cutscenes, texts, and ending E, of which enhance the emotional impact of the story and clarify some ambiguities. Only thing worse is some of the new versions of the old musical tracks, but they're not bad, just not ~as~ good.
Don't mind me. Just here liking all the comments and learning about the NieR lore more and more. Love all the commenters here
Звучит круто, драматично и динамично. Жду эту игру! :))
And now I'm re-experiencing my existential crisis which Nier caused... I'm going to replay the game.
