Automata's OST is good but I prefer the original.

>>377015378
This. Only people that spurg about OST never played Nier.

>>377015814
That's a pretty outlandish statement.

>>377015814
Ah yes, the cynical, elitist for no reason /v/, you were by my side all along

>>377015814
Only 12 people actually played the original so most of the people that say they played it are either lying and watched a YouTube vid about it or went back and played it after automata came out.

is that it? sounds like generic jrock trash.

Automata's soundtrack is just as good, if not better

Especially when half of the tracks are remixes

Best tracks are Emil's shop song and the Machine village

I'm kidding about the machine village, what the FUCK were they thinking with that and the stupid song that plays whenever you did finished a quest for a machine kid like the find the little sister one

Fuck you, that shit is fantastic and gives cute charm to a fucking bombastic soundtrack.

Just like the tiny bells building up around :58 seconds in

The game is a comedy/tragedy and the soundtrack compliments it perfectly, its what reminds you that you're fighting for cute little robots with feelings

>>377016621
sure, but that doesn't invalidate automata's OST.

Also you have assburgers.

I like these two. There's something calming and sad in them.

>>377017424
Never said automata's OST is invalidated or bad. It is pretty good, but doesn't hold a candle to Nier's.

is this a made up language they speak in those songs? (minus the ending songs which are ENG, JPN and FR of course)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaA8KNLtZB0

Birth of a Wish is fucking great, even without the meme phrases.

>>377017807

Literally everyone who isn't a /v/ contrarian admits Nier gameplay sucked balls.

Really every track in Automata is on par (if not better) than NieR.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPXuopwIdBo

This one is one of the tracks that was criminally underused desu. Kinda like NieR's Gods Bound by Rules, it only plays once.

Don't get me wrong, I like the OST, probably even more than the first game since the first one reused tracks like no ones business but fuck some of them are a real miss.

>>377017948
Still better gameplay than Automata though.

As a massive Nier 1 fan, when this song played while Devola and Popola were there I kind of lost my shit. Wonderful memories of those 2 singing in the tavern. The world of Nier 1 was a real pleasure to spend time in. Shame about the lackluster combat.

Automata is such a perfect sequel. Fantastic call backs to the original without being too fan servicey.

Automata has more good songs in general, but the original has a few that completely outshine everything else.

Song of the Ancients ~ Fate is vidya music perfection.

Why does no one ever mention Dark Colossus(Kaiju)? I think it was just as good as the original in Nier, if not a little bit better.

The concert Ending E is following Route C, the Ark got destroyed in Route C. 2B tried to find a vaccine for the logic virus and found the memory core of the arc which was used to create a vaccine.

Anyone have the game sometimes glitch and play 2 songs at once? I'm not talking about Emil, I'm talking about transitioning from one area to another and having both songs play at the same time.

So ending D is its own thing? Good.

Yes. I believe Ending E of Route C is a roundabout way of telling the fans that both 2B and 9S will be fine when they are still fine in an ending where everything went wrong.

So why would anyone not choose ending D? Why would you want 9S and everyone to live in a world without purpose?

>>377026045
Because this was the world Emil's friends tried to save?

Emphasis on tried

>>377026045
They have a purpose as long as they have each other. 2B literally died from grief when 9S didn't wake up in the concert script.

>>377026045
Ending D is the canon ending anyway considering the timeline where several dates were "redacted" from the player meddling.

Ending C isn't standalone, it's tied to the ingame ending E while the concert Ending E is tied to Route C.

>>377017948
Gameplay-wise yeah, but almost everything else is superior.

Music is on par

It's alright but the original Nier soundtrack is still worlds better. Says a lot when the best songs are just remixed versions from the first game.

This is pretty accurate actually >>377015814

>>377027413
I thought 9S, Pod 042, Pascal, A2, Operator 60 were great.

>Ending D isn't standalone, it's tied to the ingame ending E while the concert Ending E is tied to Route C.
Could it be that the ruse he pulled with the script was actually from Route D? Because I find it really hard to believe that after his blackbox supposedly stopped, he still got revived.

>>377027519
I played NieR first, but I think Automata is on par. It's just that NieR has some really heavy hitters like Song of the Ancients, Grandma, Shadowlord, City of Commerce, fucking Blu-Bird, and more.

I also take into account the fact that implementation of the tracks is better in Automata and does not feel nierly as repetitive.

>>377027882
The Concert Spoiler are implying that it's from Route C since 2B stumbles upon the memory core of the Ark when she's trying to save 9S by scavenging the rubble of the Tower.

In Ending D the Ark actually gets launched.

>>377024994
But anon, everyone else did

>>377027882
You know if you are so bent on a bad end you can just pretend that both never wake up in Ending E. Taro himself said everything is headcanon post Ending DE

Here's how they did it:

The director chose to retain the same composer as the first game.

He also told the composer to bring back Emi Evans along with 2 singers that are right up there with her.

Furthermore, simply having good compositions is not enough. Having good sound direction also matters, which is why Platinum's sound director is also a reason why the game has such excellent music and execution. He's the same guy behind the fucking ridiculously hype Metal Gear Rising.

That tower ascent is a fucking perfect marriage of narrative, gameplay, and music reinforcing themselves. It was during that shit that I realized Automata fucking CRUSHED BOTW as my Game of the Year.

>>377028545
Nope.
But it did prove that video games can make grown men cry like little bitches.

yes, scientists are currently hooking up generators to roger eberts spinning corpse to supply the world with unlimited free green energy
musk is expected to go bankrupt very soon

>>377028397
It would have been nice, but after the concert it's canon that they woke up. Not even a headcanon can undo that.

>>377028950
My nigger. The music in both games is 10/10. I think the scores to both Nier games are arguably the greatest of all time, but Cold steel Coffin is my absolute favorite track. I would chill in the aerie just for those dark vibes. It made farming eagle eggs bearable ;_;

>>377029450

Hilariously wrong. The best thing to have come out of the franchise is This Silence is Mine, which isn't in either of them.

OG NieR has Kaine’s theme and Song of the Ancients, but it’s silly to pretend that Automata isn’t at least a strong contender overall.

My favorite bit about the tower climbing track was how the piano kicked in when it swapped to 9S careening to the top in the flightsuit, that felt so natural. I dont think automata has an outright better ost than nier but I definitely agree that automata made much better use of its ost to mesh with the game.

I just listened to the new Mass Effect OST to compare East vs West and it sounds bland. What the fuck happened?

You listened to the wrong western game OST, listen to Tropical Freeze's.

>>377032751
Western developers can't seem to recognize when to, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, retain the composer for follow up projects. Having one composer for a series gives the series a great sense of continuity.

>Having one composer for a series gives the series a great sense of continuity
What about Final Fantasy? In XV's case, most seem to agree Yoko Shimomura did a good job (right?)

>>377032993

I think that's one of the things that made the original Halo games so great. Marty did a good job keeping things cohesive.

I’ve actually never played it, due to not having consoles. Just listened to the DoD1, DoD3, and both NieR OST’s. NieR is the only OST I’ve bought for a game I’ve never played.

I’ve heard the combat is the best of the three Taro games before Automata, but it suffers from legitimately unacceptable framerate drops at times (like sub 5 fps). But its supposedly not nearly as much of a grind as NieR or DoD1.

There's a torrent with an unofficial soundtrack made from ripped files, uploaded before the OST was released, stating the following:

> I took liberty with "The Weight of the World (the End of YoRHa)." This song plays at the very end of the game (credits), and it comes in like 20 separate tracks that get dynamically mixed based on your progress during it. I encoded a few versions of the song that I feel like the majority would be okay with.

>>377033687
Story wise, no. You'll miss some off hand dialogue and jokes that are current in the franchise.

Not really. Automata has a consistently better soundtrack that executed better in-game than anything in Nier. There's 3-4 songs from Nier that are superb. Everything else is weaker than anything in the sequel.

>>377015208

>>377034439
I'd say when I think of NieR, these songs are my top picks:
Grandma
Song of the Ancients (untouchable desu)
Gods Bound by Rules
Temple of Drifting Sands
City of Commerce
Snow in Summer


Automata:
City Ruins
Birth of a Wish
Possessed by Disease
The Tower
Wretched Weaponry
Alien Manifestation
End of Yorha
A Beautiful Song
Grandma (Destruction)
Emil (Despair)

Pretty sure there's more from both sides, but whatever. I love both to death.

It's a remix of Grandma from the original NieR.
It's called like that because it plays whenever Kainé's grandma, Kali (an important person to Kainé), is mentioned.

In the factory when the robots drink the cool-aid, the song plays when you fight the ball boss with the song kicking the 1:50 part in when 9S turns the lights off.

>>377039358
Did you know, taro slowly improving his combat development gameplay style? Also the way he portrayed A2's combat mechanics better than 2b and 9s it would be better and tighter like her hips. Surely his next game will be even better if they at least give him a decent a amount of budget and time.

Also it might a DLC

>>377043087
From what we've seen in MGR:R Raiden has some fucking insane strength (throwing robots incredible distances).

9S could probably dick him though with hacking.

So yes.

So which games (and on which consoles) do I need to play to get the whole mythos?

>>377044279
