Snow in Summer - Another Edit Version from NieR Replicant ver.1.22 Soundtrack Weiss Edition 

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 ?

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

agreed

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

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

Exact same thing happened to me. I was like 6-7 when it first came out. I'm glad I went back and played it again as an adult

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)

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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!!

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 🙄

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

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.....

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?

Automatas story is way better than replicants imo.

​@@trevorveillette8415explain why and how

@@trevorveillette8415 nah they both masterpieces

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?

It is

I played it 10/10

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

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.

Same

Its been on RU-vid. Unfortunately awhile back they removed it as a music track however fleeting words edit version is marked as a music track

hahahahahahaha gooooodo joiek xDXEDXDDXDDD

More like the funeral of the humanity

So you have chosen... Servitude.

I will make it "snow"

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 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

This game must be game of the year

*2052

Goosebumps..

@@RealLotus002 that's right, this is Replicant

Well they changed it to 2053.

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. credits goes : Trevor Veillette

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.

What are those?

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

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'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.

Contemplate depression.

From what I've seen about Reincarnation, it seem like thay is just gonna be a gacha and I really don't want to shell out ton of cash for random chances of loot that may or may not help my progression.

@@EricGreenFrightened-Crayfish Nier Reincarnation: Question gambling transactions

What is it then

@@3Guys1Video it’s salt.

@@cristophermedina8749 damn…
