Free NieR Replicant DLC Will Let You Dress Up as 2B and 9S

I cant wait for this game. I'll be playing as 2B for sure

Man, 9S got ripped. Guess you can't save humanity without saving those gains.

Just finished the new NieR Raid in FFXIV, im ready for Replicant!

2B got Kaine's outfit so it's only fair. 👀

Hope there is also an A2 outfit, would be weird if they would only make a 9S and 2B outfit but leave A2 out

Excellent I'll use them on my second playthrough! This rise in Nier popularity should mean a new game shouldn't be too far off.

That looks...so wrong lol

I know 2B got a Kaine outfit in Automata but there's just something about 9S looking jacked as hell that put me off

Someone has to ask : does the 2B skin comes with an auto-destruct option?

Off topic, but serious question: Is the story any different in Nier Automata after the first playthrough?

I finished 2B's story (didn't do all side quests) and started 9S story, but I am torn if I want to go through everything all over again for only a small amount of differences that I could just look up on a Wiki.

I guess I just don't get what all the fuss is about for the game. It's fun, but it's not "oh my God blow your mind" that everyone makes it out to be.

Also, what's up with the blindfolds? Is that every addressed?

@GamingFan4Lyf After the first 2B ending, you can play compact version of 9S side of the story, after that you can play the sequels to the first 2B story. It's like you got the game and the sequels in the same disc.

The first 30-40 hours of nier automata 2B story is a feels good rpg story telling about android and humanity. The sequels (that's in the disc) is a bleak story that make you question the nature of that apocalypse world. It's like after finishing uncharted 2, you find out the story still continued and it's the last of us 1 (with joel replaced with nathan drake).

@wiiware Or in my case, the same download - Game Pass for the win!

Okay, so the the 9S is more compact?

30 hours?! Sheesh, I must have missed a lot since I think I was clocked in about 20-ish hours to get Ending A.

@GamingFan4Lyf I did nearly all the game side story so it's a 30-40 hours game for me for the 2B story alone, in the end I got all the ending and nearly all the side story for about 100+ hours lol.

The game earned it's $60 price tag for me

@wiiware Makes sense. I am not that dedicated - lol! But congrats! I'll continue my playthrough to the end. Thanks for the information.

Hopefully I won't be disappointed and it will get me interested in Nier Replicant when it releases!

@GamingFan4Lyf - If you do get Replicant just know that it also requires 3 playthroughs for the full story. That said you can choose to begin the other 2 runs from an event that happens midway through the first playthrough.

@GamingFan4Lyf you'll basically just have to put up with a second playthrough that feels a bit too much like the first one, before getting to a third playthrough that is completely different with a new story and new missions and all of that. And even the 9s one, although mostly similar has some very important story moments peppered throughout it. Either way though, that 3rd playthrough(which most people refer to as Route C), will definitely thrill you!

@Shigurui @ToroRojo Cool thanks for the information. I am powering through the second playthrough - I am already noticing some slight differences:

Maybe the game is hinting at something, but I feel like there is some kind of awareness that everything is in some kind of a loop. Like at the end of the first playthrough 2B said "It always ends like this" as if to she is trying to break some kind of a cycle. Even 2S comments how he may have fought certain enemies before (mainly the gold one), but can't seem to pinpoint it.
