“Ashes of Dreams“ is the main theme for NieR:Gestalt and NieR:Replicant, with its main motif appearing in many different variations throughout the game, as well as its full version playing during the end credits. This emotional theme is notably played during scenes involving the main character Nier’s sister, Yonah, who had been infected by a lethal disease called “Black Scrawl,” of which he aims to find the cure. This credits theme has four different versions, in Japanese (“Aratanaru”), French (“Nouveau”), Gaelic (“Nuadhaich”), and English (“New”). However, all versions are fictional “chaos languages” that resemble the respective language, except for the English version, which was fully translated to fully immerse the listener in the dystopian world of NieR.
