Tell me about it! He's just undergone one terrible ordeal after another after another with no rest and no comfort between any of it, and as he's stumbling back for repairs, this starts playing and it just conveys so well how broken and hopeless he's become. He needs a friend so very badly but everything is dead or turned into a nightmare around him.
I think the Reincarnation of the new nier game is gonna make his old games look better, maybe with old characters backstories. It's kinda sad we will have to wait a while to get 2b and 9s and a2 in
@@chunkmcbeefnob717 don't forget that the entirety of NieR Automata happens in about a week of time. 9S really didn't have ANY time to comprehend what was going on if he wasn't one of the most advanced models. I understand now why Pod-153 didn't want 9S to overstress himself.
Towards the end of my trophy hunting, all I had left was the one that takes you into Emil's cave. As this song played, I reflected on all the things that I'd experienced until that point, (through Nier and Automata both). And then I thought about what I was about to do, with the final ending I needed to acquire the platinum, and how I really didnt want to. Then when it all hit me, and I realized that after I accomplished my current goal it would all be over, I actually broke down. No game has ever had that kind of power over me, and invoked such an emotional response. I freaking love everything about Nier and Nier Automata, and I'm about to start a new full playthrough, a new annual tradition. If I had my choice, I would die to this song.
It's weird, I feel like this song gives a lot of people the impression that it's a good song to die to! I've thought about the exact same thing too. The music is really depressing, but at the same time it also has some kind of a calming effect.
I completed the grave subquest and when I was done, I felt kinda sad and empty just like this song. The game is great but all too sad. We've got the E ending and the narration scene but still. I only hope for the sequel but from what I've read so far, we have no guarantees that it will be made, even with the good sales. It's a shame for me and those who played Automata first: I'll always love this game more than Nier. It's more like an independent story after all.
I just finished this game for this first time about 2 weeks ago, and I feel the same way. I only went through the game once but this game did something to me. I dont want to play anything else but I also dont want to play this again, it's like I dont want to ruin my precious first playthrough. When I heard this song while reading devola and popolas notes I almost cried, it's something about the music and the characters of this game that evoke so much emotion in me that its unexplainable, it's like I get a pit in my stomach everytime I think about it. (Best songs in this game imo: blissful death, wretched machinery and Pascal's village.)
Well,i think i am souless bastard then,i felt almost nothing Like,they failed yes,that happens and etc if just felt empty to know the aftermath of the reason why humanity was extinct,
And it only hits harder if you got the chance to play gestalt before automata GOD FUCKING DAMMIT I hated them I hated them so much for almost half a decade... they made my friends suffer and being in pain And in a moment, all my perspective changed, and now the only thing I could feel was shame, sadness, remorse and a lot of pity I loved it
Yupp. THOSE two never did anything wrong. But it was sadly a pair of the same model that did. Those two just got used as scapegoats. Poor souls, had to endure so much unfair hardship T_T
Every time I hear this music I fill some pressure in my heart. So lonely and peaceful at the same time... that's why I'm totally in love in this game, music, and atmosphere...
I swear this song never fails to put me to sleep. I've listened to this with headphones laying in bed so many times, even on my most restless nights, halfway through listening to this whole thing I'll feel so tired I can barely move. It's just so soothing and relaxing.
I'd try but I find it kinda haunting; a lot of the songs that are only played once or twice in Nier: Automata(much like this one) are quite haunting and sad if in my opinion
the soundtracks of NieR/ Automata makes me feel great.. like a tiny star shining at the end of the tunnel. My friends left me after after we finished school together.. I guess I never wanted to open up to them about my depression bcs it would make them uncomfortable to be near me. I don’t think this would reach anyone but If it does I hope you get through your toughest times! Anonymous -
if this games about anything its feeling alone and being heard by someone else and learning you arent alone, hang in there, ive never met you but i love you
Times are though. People are loosing their Jobs, some their loved ones, I personally felt more alone that ever before on my 18th birthday and in a really complicated way lost my father, and you probably had it far worse than me. But you’re still here (i hope at least) and so am I. Just like 2B, A2 and 9s were given another chance we still have this chance to enjoy our lives. Even if i’m only telling this to you and myself in an attempt at comforting us Deep inside you and me both know that things will eventually get better. Love you
Friendship is for both, good and bad times, I learned that a while ago. If you're still there I hope you can get the help you need and I hope you can open up to someone you trust, it will at least make you feel a little better. Be strong a little more, much love
I love how this song is in the cave where Emil lives. The song is so depressing and sad, so it fits Emil's story through NieR gestalt to Automata. To be honest though anyone would end up feeling empty inside when the people you love all die while you keep living by yourself.
I´m new to the Nier Universe. After playing Replicant and Automata I've fallen in love with Yoko Taro games and philosophical point of view about everything. For a long time I was looking for games like these ones. A random girl on a random chat told me about these games. Thanks for giving me a new inspiration.
When this was playing when I was reading Devola and Popola's story I was crying because they had gone through so much and to just see them die at the end really hurt me.
Trust me,that was a better fate Why, simple they we're hated to the core and they we're suffering by that point just like a2 and 2b but for both of them it was far worst because they failed to save humanity
@@PrincessTwilightdash go replay gestalt/replicant and notice what one of them is doing during the battle. It sums up nicely why they're hated afterwards. While I sympathize P&D androids, it's their shitty attitude and carelessness what doomed the humanity
@@firstnamelastname4686 No its not their shitty attitude?? they were overpowered by the party + Emil being quite literally the BEST biological weapon in existence, think about it this way, Devola and Popola unironically have a proportional power stronger than weiss, since sealed verses come from Devola and Popola in the first place, and EVEN AFTER Popola launches her all out attack, Emil was able to 1.- Shield and send the others to safety, 2.- Make Popola die in the process, AND 3.- SURVIVE THE HIT *LMFAO* Not only that, but they're also performers, so them dancing while fighting is accurate, its not that one of them is literally doing nothing, in fact, the sister dancing in the background constantly shoots magic spheres, but also has a secret move they only use after a LONG while, (which 99% of people dont get to see because the bossfight is so easy and short, idk why they didnt make it harder) It's okay if you don't like Devola and Popola, but don't go blaming them for humanity's extinction, in fact, the description of Nier's attire wearable by A2 in NieR Automata, says, and I quote "An outfit for A2 that may or may not have belonged to the man who destroyed the world.", so yeah, even the developers admit Nier is to blame here.
@@ryukiiko They raised Nier though, and alternatively led him onto the path that destroyed humanity. The whole point of the story is that not one person can exactly be blamed. And while it’s unfortunate that the humans went extinct, replicants did have a right to their own existence, because they gained sentience.
*minor side quest spoiler* think I remember hearing this song first when I completed Engels' questline. I remember being strangely crushed by it's death. A weapon of absolute mass destruction, aware of it's sins, choosing death as a form of punishment and repentance. Such a noble being... I really respected this machine, talking to it felt like talking to an old monk, aware of all evil in the world, simply looking for a moment of peace. I realised how much I liked Engels only after it's death. I then hacked a robot and just had a long, slow walk through the city while controlling it, with this song in the background... a really beautiful moment.
I commented on this exact quest as well. What really hit me was, after the light in his eyes fade away, reading through his journal with this song. I recall a note of himself, sitting there destroyed in the pouring rain, and a little bird landed on his shoulder. He made a special note of it so he'd never forget it. It also mentioned how much he came to love the life on earth. Reading that with this music, I couldn't stop crying for a while... What a beautiful, perfect experience. Thank you, Yoko Taro. Thank you.
By far the best soundtrack of the game for me, I'll constantly remember 9S's comeback to the camp, it was so intimate and close to what he was feeling..I just can't handle it now
When you understand all the events that lead up to the point where everything fell apart for Project Gestalt and - ultimately - the extinction of humanity, the pain in this song grows in depth. --- --- --- --- From the moment all these events began, humanity was doomed - their struggle for survival was a death march toward the inevitable, but it was carried by hope and the innate desire to endure as a species. Humanity worked tirelessly to overcome, but when everything fell apart its existence was snuffed out into silence. A species that had long prided itself on it's intellectual ability was undone by it. The story of Humanity's downfall was a tragedy; the way in which it happened was an irony. However, it's spirit was still finding it's way into the machines that were designed by the aliens - thousands of years later - the machines chose humanity over their creators - and killed them. A species that had superior intellectual ability was undone by it. --- --- --- ---
do you remember? do you remember the streets? the hall ways and buildings? the forests and jungles? the skies and oceans? can you still hear the sounds of these places? can you hear the battles that rage on in the distance or the sounds of the market you pass by when you finish a quest and have to turn it in? can you hear the songs of the forest's and jungles? how about the howling winds of the skies or the crashing waves of the ocean's? but most importantly... can you hear the fall of tears of those who do remember?
This is a song that carries such pain, a quiet sadness that so many of us can relate to. Just the desperation to continue onto the next day but not the motivation that usually goes alongside with it, and yet it has a strangely hopeful and peaceful melody to it as well. Perhaps that is why we think it would be a lovely song to die to
We all do at some points in our lives right? We all make fucked up mistakes... but hey... life somehow gives you a second chance to make up for it... if it didn't you wouldn't be here right now... Look man... i probably made worse mistakes in my life... But the only reason i stand strong and keep my head up is cuz i believe in this saying "people who suffer more, Will be rewarded the most at the end" I know its all sappy ands shit... but listen.. just use the pain to sharpen ya... don't hold on to it... dont be bitter about it... i know this is a stupid thing to say and i'm probably bothering you but ye... Have a great life man
When I die this song is the only thing I’ll be thinking of, I thought nier automata was a decent game but then when I got into emils cave and I heard this for the first time I just sat and thought about this game, then it hit me out of the hundreds of games I’ve played no other has ever made me feel this way, I don’t know how to describe. But this song comforts me some how it’s so beautiful, it actually makes me feel something and it’s amazing, this game will forever be my number 1 game and I’m so glad I played this beautiful game.
@@Black.M00n Who knows, maybe? :)) The fact that NieR Replicant is getting a rerelease is definitely a good sign! I think the only thing he has said himself, when asked, is "maybe"
@@Harpotos Nier: Automata very stuck in my heart, I fully believe that part 2 will be released. And the melody of City ruins, from the first note I already want to cry :(
The most a person can ask for in the end is peace all death is painful in a sense but feeling no regrets that is the highest one can do neir sums up death in quite an accurate way all your progress is erased anything you have done slowly dissolves untill it’s dust imo satisfaction is the best way to go out at peace
God I love this game so much...in all my time I've never enjoyed a series more than the Nier series. I'm so emotionally attached to this game that even after all this time of playing it, it's music and being reminded of it's plot and so on still evoke the same intensity of emotions from my heart. It's honestly beautiful. Thank you Yoko Taro
Sometimes that's the best kind of music. It's like the cathartic feeling you get after recovering from sickness, realizing just how good it feels to be well. At times it can take a lot of waiting and hurt to get over emotional sickness, but the beautiful sadness in songs like this reminds us that we are not alone and we will feel better than ever on the other side. Yada-yada, *insert snide joke to not seem overly dramatic*
On the recent offer on the new version of Nier Replicant I reinstalled Automata to do some map comparisons, as well as finish up a couple of loose ends, namely the Emil fight and the DLC arenas. I loved hearing this piece, its practically ASMR to music. And the echo of the cave system makes it even more ethereal.
Here's hoping nobody reads this. Just a few minutes ago I almost swallowed a metric fuck-ton of Bupropion in an effort to commit suicide. I don't know why I felt the need to talk about this in a comment on a video with less than 100,000 views, but here we are. NieR: Automata is very important to me. It helped me realize a lot of things about myself, like what I want to do, what my purpose in life was, shit like that. Engel's death was one of the most impactful things I experienced in that game. He talked about realizing his sins and atoning for them. He talked about how he realized beauty in the nature around him. He is my favorite character in Automata. When he died, this song played. It stuck with me. I listen to this song when I feel like shit, because it helps as a way to cope. I realized a while ago that I wanted to die to this music. And so I put it on and took the cap off the pill bottle. I was about to swallow well over 50,000 mg of Bupropion. And my sister walked in. She didn't see the pills. She just said hi and left. I believe she saved me. I don't know why I wrote this. I guess I just want to let people know about something that doesn't concern them. Sorry.
I still check the comments on this video every now and then. Reading yours left me with a void in my heart, but I am so thankful that you didn't go through with it. Bless your sister and bless you. Remember the ending credits when you could help another random player for the cost of your save? It stuck with me so strongly. I feel like that simple gesture along with the optimistic look at the human condition is super strong. Despite all the bad things that happen, we really value helping each other. Sometimes something as simple as overcoming a temporary, yet strong emotional pain, is enough of a sacrifice to make a huge difference. You are valued and you have so much potential to influence others lives in a positive way, even if you may not feel like that is true at the lowest of lows. I personally have a hard time understanding why people want to spend time with me because I can't always see anything but my negative sides. Still I stick in there because I know me being happy makes those around me happy and I am starting to feel slow, yet sure progress. I don't know what you're going through, but I really hope that you find your way to deal with it and the strength to ask for help. My heart goes out to you, stay strong.
@averystrangeplatypus2911 Oh my God. You just made me start bawling. I don't know you, but I love you so, so very much. Please, stay. Please. I hope you are doing better, you deserve so much. I'm sorry, but please, stay. I love you. There's always a meaning.
I always come back to this video, when I had a bad day. The voice in this song feels like somebody who could love me, and cares about me. It helps me to sort out problems in my mind, and cool down stress level ❤
Somehow this song feels extremely comforting and relaxing. The type of peace you feel when someone gives you a warm hug during and after a good cry. The type of peace when that person then whispers things that tear away at the raw emptiness pouring from within.
Nier Series always has the best soundtrack to make you feel lonely and empty deep inside from the seemingly meaningless cycle of everyday life. What was it all for, if this was the end? Fits the title quite well. A Blissful Death.
man hearing this play for emil as u descended down into his home was utterly heartbreaking he is technically the last human alive and coming from nier gestalt to see how he had ended up was just......horrible he didnt deserve the torturous life he had
I have been ruing a d and d campaign for a while now approximately 4 years actually. So when the players finale fail to stop the Big Bad Guy... when he finally tears opens the veil to bring in a new age, one where time will no longer exist, where in his demented mind no one will suffer any longer... there was no better track to play. The players watched as the rift broke open, the earth itself begging to tear as the fabric of the world that once was dissolved away... And all they could do was watch... it was over. And that was it... bliss... in death...
You come to, lying on the forest floor. Dying, perhaps. You can't move a muscle, but it doesn't seem to matter much. It's not quite dawn, and a thick fog covers the ground, obscuring your vision. There are no birds calling, no sounds of warm blooded life. Everything seems to be muted by the haze. Squinting, you can make out the trees rising from the mist around you, and a faint whisper coming from far away. No, it's coming from everywhere. You consider being scared, attempting to run, but the chanting voices sound so sweet you close your eyes instead, listening. They don't sound human, but they're not animal either. Are they calling to you? You want to go find the source, but you're tired. You lay your head back as the whispers grow nearer, surrounding you. You don't know what's going to happen to you, but the song assures you that the end will be pleasant.
Random, but the quest where you revive and speak to the fallen Goliath class in the city ruins, Engel, I believe, hit me so hard with this. At the end, he says he realizes what it was meant to "sin", and realizes all of the agony and sorrow he has caused the androids, the amount of people he has killed. He is dying, and when offered repairs, he declines, and instead wishes for 2B and 9S to use his parts elsewhere, for good. His lights in his eyes fade out, and this song plays. Opening his journal and reading his thought's as he sat there, disconnected from the network. Reading how a little bird landed on his shoulder in the rain, and how much he came to love the life on Earth, all while this song plays... Goodness. I adore this game beyond imagination. Best thing I have ever experienced. Even for sidequests like that to have that much weight, on top of the main story... Thank you, Yoko Taro. Thank you.
@Harpotos Hahaha thank you, I'm glad! It is perfect. I'm currently replaying it after sacrificing my save data, and it's incredible, also doing all the sidequests I missed, the one mentioned above being one of them.
Pod 153: "There was a high chance one of the sisters could have escaped. Why did they choose death over surviving alone?" 9S: "...I hope you never have to understand."
The new ‘secret door’ Easter egg also plays this song whenever you arrive within the Church. I’m struggling to find a proper translation of the lyrics, can anyone help me out?
It's because it's in chaos language. It DOES NOT have any translation. So.. Sorry, but your quest to translate this song is impossible. Unless you understand chaos. In my opinion it's good that it have no translation. It can be literally everything.
The power of this song is that it has no translation. Its language is unknown. Remains just emotion of Devola & Popola story, for the glory of manking...
I can’t imagine what is like to failed your creator. Not only that, but also doomed the entirety of humanity. I cannot imagine the weight of the guilt Devola and Popola have to bear for millennia. I can imagine what is like to lose someone you loved so suddenly. I can imagine the sanity of 9S slowly slipping away from loneliness. Either way, it suck they have to endure through those.
When i finished Nier: Automata, i felt empty. For a long time no other Game was fun anymore. There is no Game i am aware of out there, that comes close to something like Nier: Automata. The combat felt nice and stylish. The Soundtrack is stunning. The Graphics and the World are breathtaking. The only downside this Game has, is that it has to end eventually. I am a Nier fan and i love the Drakengard series. But something about Nier: Automata just makes me feel better. It is a World i can come to, when Real Life gets to Hard. I can ease my Mind and just enjoy the Songs by the Jukebox in the Resistance Camp or sit on top of a Building, enjoying the View. I hope that we will, at some point. Get a few more Good Offline Games like the Nier or Drakengard series. Maybe more God Eaters and Code Vein 2. Maybe even Remakes of the Drakengard Games. (Because Remakes seem to be popular right now) but to be honest, i am still playing Nier: Automata till this day. And i still enjoy every single moment. This Game is my 10/10 Game of all time and i hope we will see more Characters like 2B, 9S, A2 or a faction like YoRHa in the future. But what i really wish for is, that we at some Point get a true ending Nier title. One last Game to finish the series once and for all. And then maybe something new again from Yoko Taro. A new Masterpiece Series from him would be awesome.
@@Darkwave16712 In some way yes, they are. They had meaning. This game shows how we, people, take sides. In Automata there is no good or bad side. Just two different points of view that lead to bloodshed. That something based on human nature can be chaotic in their wake. Just like that... And without Adam and Eve, without aliens experimentations and tries of understanding humans nothing of that would not happen. Earth would be "meaningless" planet with vegetation. And yet here we are... Adam and Eve tried to understand, to copy human kind, that was extint. They tried to feel something more than their creators so they... Killed them. To find out what emotions are. They found enemies just to feel. They wrongly understood humans but... How we can blame them? All they could do is read and find infos... Where we, as humans, left mostly brutal things than beautifull ones... When we look at our history, our behave... It all lead to bloodshed. Sad, but true. So they "inherited" it in some way. They was like poor childrens, learning bad things. That's all. Funny that history like to repeat itself... There is war after war after war.... And after another war... Mighty will never look at poor as they thought. So they stood and tried to become mighty...

Trust me,that was a better fate
Why, simple they we're hated to the core and they we're suffering by that point just like a2 and 2b but for both of them it was far worst because they failed to save humanity
@@perturabo149 and its all thanks to nier ;) he doomed humanity
@@PrincessTwilightdash go replay gestalt/replicant and notice what one of them is doing during the battle. It sums up nicely why they're hated afterwards.
While I sympathize P&D androids, it's their shitty attitude and carelessness what doomed the humanity
@@firstnamelastname4686 No its not their shitty attitude?? they were overpowered by the party + Emil being quite literally the BEST biological weapon in existence, think about it this way, Devola and Popola unironically have a proportional power stronger than weiss, since sealed verses come from Devola and Popola in the first place, and EVEN AFTER Popola launches her all out attack, Emil was able to 1.- Shield and send the others to safety, 2.- Make Popola die in the process, AND 3.- SURVIVE THE HIT *LMFAO*
Not only that, but they're also performers, so them dancing while fighting is accurate, its not that one of them is literally doing nothing, in fact, the sister dancing in the background constantly shoots magic spheres, but also has a secret move they only use after a LONG while, (which 99% of people dont get to see because the bossfight is so easy and short, idk why they didnt make it harder)
It's okay if you don't like Devola and Popola, but don't go blaming them for humanity's extinction, in fact, the description of Nier's attire wearable by A2 in NieR Automata, says, and I quote "An outfit for A2 that may or may not have belonged to the man who destroyed the world.", so yeah, even the developers admit Nier is to blame here.
@@ryukiiko They raised Nier though, and alternatively led him onto the path that destroyed humanity. The whole point of the story is that not one person can exactly be blamed. And while it’s unfortunate that the humans went extinct, replicants did have a right to their own existence, because they gained sentience.
*minor side quest spoiler* think I remember hearing this song first when I completed Engels' questline. I remember being strangely crushed by it's death. A weapon of absolute mass destruction, aware of it's sins, choosing death as a form of punishment and repentance. Such a noble being... I really respected this machine, talking to it felt like talking to an old monk, aware of all evil in the world, simply looking for a moment of peace. I realised how much I liked Engels only after it's death. I then hacked a robot and just had a long, slow walk through the city while controlling it, with this song in the background... a really beautiful moment.
I commented on this exact quest as well. What really hit me was, after the light in his eyes fade away, reading through his journal with this song.
I recall a note of himself, sitting there destroyed in the pouring rain, and a little bird landed on his shoulder. He made a special note of it so he'd never forget it. It also mentioned how much he came to love the life on earth. Reading that with this music, I couldn't stop crying for a while...
What a beautiful, perfect experience.
Thank you, Yoko Taro. Thank you.
How long?
…
…
…

How long has it been since I last felt alive?
This ost absolutely nails how the NieR series feels, utterly hopeless with the tiniest bit of hope
This I want to be played at my funeral, then even the dudes that hate me still cry.
I really thought of it too
Good idea
why would someone that hate you go to your funeral?
@@khabibnurmagomedov4877 idk, to laugh at me i guess?
By far the best soundtrack of the game for me, I'll constantly remember 9S's comeback to the camp, it was so intimate and close to what he was feeling..I just can't handle it now
When you understand all the events that lead up to the point where everything fell apart for Project Gestalt and - ultimately - the extinction of humanity, the pain in this song grows in depth.
--- --- --- ---
From the moment all these events began, humanity was doomed - their struggle for survival was a death march toward the inevitable, but it was carried by hope and the innate desire to endure as a species.
Humanity worked tirelessly to overcome, but when everything fell apart its existence was snuffed out into silence.
A species that had long prided itself on it's intellectual ability was undone by it.
The story of Humanity's downfall was a tragedy; the way in which it happened was an irony.
However, it's spirit was still finding it's way into the machines that were designed by the aliens - thousands of years later - the machines chose humanity over their creators - and killed them.
A species that had superior intellectual ability was undone by it.
--- --- --- ---
Beautiful way to put it, you made me start crying, again...
If Anxiety and depression had a soundtrack, this would be it
Isnt it great? 😃😁💀🤔😭😍
Facts
This feels more like resignation and letting go
best melody for post apocalyptic world
Right! Nothing is left but a few memories...
do you remember? do you remember the streets? the hall ways and buildings? the forests and jungles? the skies and oceans? can you still hear the sounds of these places? can you hear the battles that rage on in the distance or the sounds of the market you pass by when you finish a quest and have to turn it in? can you hear the songs of the forest's and jungles? how about the howling winds of the skies or the crashing waves of the ocean's? but most importantly... can you hear the fall of tears of those who do remember?
This is a song that carries such pain, a quiet sadness that so many of us can relate to. Just the desperation to continue onto the next day but not the motivation that usually goes alongside with it, and yet it has a strangely hopeful and peaceful melody to it as well.
Perhaps that is why we think it would be a lovely song to die to
I just wanna go to sleep forever with this song where I find true peace
I just keep going knowing I fucked up so many times.
you got this, don't give up 🧡
We all do at some points in our lives right? We all make fucked up mistakes... but hey... life somehow gives you a second chance to make up for it... if it didn't you wouldn't be here right now... Look man... i probably made worse mistakes in my life... But the only reason i stand strong and keep my head up is cuz i believe in this saying "people who suffer more, Will be rewarded the most at the end" I know its all sappy ands shit... but listen.. just use the pain to sharpen ya... don't hold on to it... dont be bitter about it... i know this is a stupid thing to say and i'm probably bothering you but ye... Have a great life man
happy me scrolling through the comments proceeding to get majorly spoiled on at least 5 different events
Really? I feel like the comments are decent at being vague / warning about spoilers.
@@Harpotos haha yea i guess i knew enough context to piece some things together
@@milky178 Ah, that's a shame! I hope it doesn't affect your experience too much though! :)
When I die this song is the only thing I’ll be thinking of, I thought nier automata was a decent game but then when I got into emils cave and I heard this for the first time I just sat and thought about this game, then it hit me out of the hundreds of games I’ve played no other has ever made me feel this way, I don’t know how to describe. But this song comforts me some how it’s so beautiful, it actually makes me feel something and it’s amazing, this game will forever be my number 1 game and I’m so glad I played this beautiful game.
i'm crying
Nier: Automata one love, best game in the world😭❤❤
Love it! Can't wait to see what Yoko Taro does next 🧡
@@Harpotos will be Nier: Automata 2??🙈🙈🙈
@@Black.M00n Who knows, maybe? :))
The fact that NieR Replicant is getting a rerelease is definitely a good sign!
I think the only thing he has said himself, when asked, is "maybe"
@@Harpotos Nier: Automata very stuck in my heart, I fully believe that part 2 will be released. And the melody of City ruins, from the first note I already want to cry :(
@@Black.M00n its kinda impossible to be honest,but we never know
I’m back because they used this song in nier replicant on route B for the mail man and Louise and….it’s amazing
Yooo, no way!
I haven't had the time to beat that game yet, but this gets me excited
i knew that song sounded familiar...
This song is almost like a darker version of the Resistance Camp theme
The most a person can ask for in the end is peace all death is painful in a sense but feeling no regrets that is the highest one can do neir sums up death in quite an accurate way all your progress is erased anything you have done slowly dissolves untill it’s dust imo satisfaction is the best way to go out at peace
God I love this game so much...in all my time I've never enjoyed a series more than the Nier series. I'm so emotionally attached to this game that even after all this time of playing it, it's music and being reminded of it's plot and so on still evoke the same intensity of emotions from my heart. It's honestly beautiful. Thank you Yoko Taro
This song makes me sad and empty
Sometimes that's the best kind of music. It's like the cathartic feeling you get after recovering from sickness, realizing just how good it feels to be well. At times it can take a lot of waiting and hurt to get over emotional sickness, but the beautiful sadness in songs like this reminds us that we are not alone and we will feel better than ever on the other side.
Yada-yada, *insert snide joke to not seem overly dramatic*
On the recent offer on the new version of Nier Replicant I reinstalled Automata to do some map comparisons, as well as finish up a couple of loose ends, namely the Emil fight and the DLC arenas.
I loved hearing this piece, its practically ASMR to music. And the echo of the cave system makes it even more ethereal.
Here's hoping nobody reads this. Just a few minutes ago I almost swallowed a metric fuck-ton of Bupropion in an effort to commit suicide. I don't know why I felt the need to talk about this in a comment on a video with less than 100,000 views, but here we are. NieR: Automata is very important to me. It helped me realize a lot of things about myself, like what I want to do, what my purpose in life was, shit like that. Engel's death was one of the most impactful things I experienced in that game. He talked about realizing his sins and atoning for them. He talked about how he realized beauty in the nature around him. He is my favorite character in Automata. When he died, this song played.
It stuck with me. I listen to this song when I feel like shit, because it helps as a way to cope. I realized a while ago that I wanted to die to this music. And so I put it on and took the cap off the pill bottle. I was about to swallow well over 50,000 mg of Bupropion. And my sister walked in.
She didn't see the pills. She just said hi and left. I believe she saved me.
I don't know why I wrote this. I guess I just want to let people know about something that doesn't concern them.
Sorry.
I still check the comments on this video every now and then. Reading yours left me with a void in my heart, but I am so thankful that you didn't go through with it.
Bless your sister and bless you.
Remember the ending credits when you could help another random player for the cost of your save? It stuck with me so strongly. I feel like that simple gesture along with the optimistic look at the human condition is super strong. Despite all the bad things that happen, we really value helping each other.
Sometimes something as simple as overcoming a temporary, yet strong emotional pain, is enough of a sacrifice to make a huge difference. You are valued and you have so much potential to influence others lives in a positive way, even if you may not feel like that is true at the lowest of lows.
I personally have a hard time understanding why people want to spend time with me because I can't always see anything but my negative sides. Still I stick in there because I know me being happy makes those around me happy and I am starting to feel slow, yet sure progress.
I don't know what you're going through, but I really hope that you find your way to deal with it and the strength to ask for help.
My heart goes out to you, stay strong.
@@Harpotos That... Means more to me than you could ever know. Thank you. Seriously. Thank you.
You have meaning, even if you don't realize it. Push through it for others.
Two years later, and here we are. You and I both, walking through that hollow, dark cave, and a gentle song that makes it all somewhat bearable...
@averystrangeplatypus2911 Oh my God. You just made me start bawling. I don't know you, but I love you so, so very much. Please, stay. Please. I hope you are doing better, you deserve so much. I'm sorry, but please, stay. I love you. There's always a meaning.
I always come back to this video, when I had a bad day. The voice in this song feels like somebody who could love me, and cares about me. It helps me to sort out problems in my mind, and cool down stress level ❤
that's great :)
and thank you for reminding me, I needed to listen to the song again myself! all the best, have a great day.
@@Harpotos Thanks, have a great day too!
This always helps me when i can't sleep ❤️
Somehow this song feels extremely comforting and relaxing. The type of peace you feel when someone gives you a warm hug during and after a good cry. The type of peace when that person then whispers things that tear away at the raw emptiness pouring from within.
It's fits really good in that hidden church from copied city
Nier Series always has the best soundtrack to make you feel lonely and empty deep inside from the seemingly meaningless cycle of everyday life. What was it all for, if this was the end?
Fits the title quite well. A Blissful Death.
man hearing this play for emil as u descended down into his home was utterly heartbreaking he is technically the last human alive and coming from nier gestalt to see how he had ended up was just......horrible he didnt deserve the torturous life he had
i used to sit in those endgame caves just to listen to this. its actually my favorite song in the game
POV: your a lonely attack aircraft sitting dormant in your hangar. Your awaiting the return of 9S and 2B...
I have been ruing a d and d campaign for a while now approximately 4 years actually. So when the players finale fail to stop the Big Bad Guy... when he finally tears opens the veil to bring in a new age, one where time will no longer exist, where in his demented mind no one will suffer any longer... there was no better track to play. The players watched as the rift broke open, the earth itself begging to tear as the fabric of the world that once was dissolved away... And all they could do was watch... it was over. And that was it... bliss... in death...
D and D sounds so fucking cool.
honestly this and fortress of lies may be the best soundtracks ever to leave playing when studying.
I wish i could hear this song on my last moments on earth, yes, i think this is the song i want. :,)
0:47 when saying hi in Simlish makes you wanna break down
This is what depression sounds like
You come to, lying on the forest floor. Dying, perhaps. You can't move a muscle, but it doesn't seem to matter much. It's not quite dawn, and a thick fog covers the ground, obscuring your vision. There are no birds calling, no sounds of warm blooded life. Everything seems to be muted by the haze. Squinting, you can make out the trees rising from the mist around you, and a faint whisper coming from far away. No, it's coming from everywhere. You consider being scared, attempting to run, but the chanting voices sound so sweet you close your eyes instead, listening. They don't sound human, but they're not animal either. Are they calling to you? You want to go find the source, but you're tired. You lay your head back as the whispers grow nearer, surrounding you. You don't know what's going to happen to you, but the song assures you that the end will be pleasant.
I love this dong its good for writing deep and sad moments.
Was looking for it for so long
y u do dis to mah hart n mah sole
Beautiful
Ported this song into Fallout 4 using a radio mod. The Commonwealth feels desolate when it plays.
2BAE pls don't die!
2B*
This is funny because all of the letters actually fit.
A2BE
about that...
That feeling when you visit a game that used to be popular, now with almost no one playing it.
thank you
Thanks for the study music/intense shower thoughts music
Random, but the quest where you revive and speak to the fallen Goliath class in the city ruins, Engel, I believe, hit me so hard with this. At the end, he says he realizes what it was meant to "sin", and realizes all of the agony and sorrow he has caused the androids, the amount of people he has killed. He is dying, and when offered repairs, he declines, and instead wishes for 2B and 9S to use his parts elsewhere, for good.
His lights in his eyes fade out, and this song plays.
Opening his journal and reading his thought's as he sat there, disconnected from the network. Reading how a little bird landed on his shoulder in the rain, and how much he came to love the life on Earth, all while this song plays...
Goodness.
I adore this game beyond imagination.
Best thing I have ever experienced. Even for sidequests like that to have that much weight, on top of the main story...
Thank you, Yoko Taro. Thank you.
I cannot put into words how much I resonate with those feelings on the game. reading your comment made me really want to replay it now, thank you!
@Harpotos Hahaha thank you, I'm glad! It is perfect. I'm currently replaying it after sacrificing my save data, and it's incredible, also doing all the sidequests I missed, the one mentioned above being one of them.
@@gotem123 sounds really nice, enjoy!!
@@Harpotos Thank you, you too!
thank you thank you thank you thank you
This ist pure beauty, it's just nice to listen at, yet, so sad. Perfect.
Try listening this with rain sounds. Blissful, indeed.
Pod 153: "There was a high chance one of the sisters could have escaped. Why did they choose death over surviving alone?"
9S: "...I hope you never have to understand."
This is sad yet beautiful
I ALWAYS USE THIS SONG WHEN CANT SLEEP TIME.
Yep, sad but calm. Relaxing enough to put me to sleep.
Mi tema favorito del juego, mucha nostalgia del 2018
The new ‘secret door’ Easter egg also plays this song whenever you arrive within the Church. I’m struggling to find a proper translation of the lyrics, can anyone help me out?
It's because it's in chaos language. It DOES NOT have any translation. So.. Sorry, but your quest to translate this song is impossible. Unless you understand chaos.
In my opinion it's good that it have no translation. It can be literally everything.
Oh man….. 🫤😞
a perfect slice of melancholy
The power of this song is that it has no translation. Its language is unknown. Remains just emotion of Devola & Popola story, for the glory of manking...
Very*AWESOME!!!!*
I'm not crying, you are!
I really, really am 😭
I'm lonely without him...
Feel 9s so much...
He had to leave even if we were so happy together.
I wish fate reunites us again.
It hurts...
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I wish you all the best, it'll be okay.
'에밀' 집으로 가는 동굴 OST 맞죠.......?

Scarface: The World is Yours - our top strategies for success.
I can’t imagine what is like to failed your creator. Not only that, but also doomed the entirety of humanity. I cannot imagine the weight of the guilt Devola and Popola have to bear for millennia.
I can imagine what is like to lose someone you loved so suddenly. I can imagine the sanity of 9S slowly slipping away from loneliness.
Either way, it suck they have to endure through those.
I can’t believe this game is 6 years old!
Feel so alone inside
What are these types of music called? really amazing.
depression
closest thing to it is Ambient Music.
I feel like I heard something really similar to this years ago like in a game
This song is so good that makes my head explode.
Wait.
When i finished Nier: Automata, i felt empty. For a long time no other Game was fun anymore. There is no Game i am aware of out there, that comes close to something like Nier: Automata. The combat felt nice and stylish. The Soundtrack is stunning. The Graphics and the World are breathtaking. The only downside this Game has, is that it has to end eventually. I am a Nier fan and i love the Drakengard series. But something about Nier: Automata just makes me feel better. It is a World i can come to, when Real Life gets to Hard. I can ease my Mind and just enjoy the Songs by the Jukebox in the Resistance Camp or sit on top of a Building, enjoying the View.
I hope that we will, at some point. Get a few more Good Offline Games like the Nier or Drakengard series. Maybe more God Eaters and Code Vein 2. Maybe even Remakes of the Drakengard Games. (Because Remakes seem to be popular right now) but to be honest, i am still playing Nier: Automata till this day. And i still enjoy every single moment. This Game is my 10/10 Game of all time and i hope we will see more Characters like 2B, 9S, A2 or a faction like YoRHa in the future. But what i really wish for is, that we at some Point get a true ending Nier title. One last Game to finish the series once and for all. And then maybe something new again from Yoko Taro. A new Masterpiece Series from him would be awesome.
me repeating this son for the fifth time while I trying to figure out why I exist.
"A future is not given to you. It is something you must take for yourself."
When listening to this I realized that this world is both of chaos and light and they go hand and hand
11 dislikes are from those who praise Adam and Eve
but they are praiseworthy… in some way
@@Darkwave16712 In some way yes, they are. They had meaning. This game shows how we, people, take sides. In Automata there is no good or bad side. Just two different points of view that lead to bloodshed. That something based on human nature can be chaotic in their wake. Just like that... And without Adam and Eve, without aliens experimentations and tries of understanding humans nothing of that would not happen. Earth would be "meaningless" planet with vegetation. And yet here we are... Adam and Eve tried to understand, to copy human kind, that was extint. They tried to feel something more than their creators so they... Killed them. To find out what emotions are. They found enemies just to feel. They wrongly understood humans but... How we can blame them? All they could do is read and find infos... Where we, as humans, left mostly brutal things than beautifull ones... When we look at our history, our behave... It all lead to bloodshed. Sad, but true. So they "inherited" it in some way. They was like poor childrens, learning bad things. That's all.
Funny that history like to repeat itself... There is war after war after war.... And after another war... Mighty will never look at poor as they thought. So they stood and tried to become mighty...
Reality hits hard with this one.
2B and 9S's loneliness
"Were they really so clever?... Were they really so cruel?"
Paradise ..
so glad I suffered through the ending mini game...
OK, I'm going to cry myself to sleep now....
GAME OVER
so sad :'c
Noooo, 2b! 😟
I'm tired
oh!
Bjork type beat
not gonna lie, I get a feeling of clannad after story
I almost quit the game after this one
:)
Someone please stop this... because I can't... t_t
