When we looked at the recent Nier Re[in]carnation gameplay footage, we discussed the theory that the protagonist is a young Kaine.
Well, that is not true.
In some Famitsu details translated here, it was confirmed that she is not Kaine.
The ghost-like companion following her is named Mama and will watch over her.
One of the most interesting details revealed, however, is that there will actually be more than one protagonist. Many more, in fact.
In light of that, I take back when I said previously about how typical character-collecting gacha mechanics wouldn’t work for a game like this. Having numerous protagonists definitely opens the doors for that more. Here’s hoping it’s not quite like that.
More translations, this time from Twinfinite, say Nier Re[in]carnation will follow the “service” mobile game model and therefore might end up with more text content than either previous Nier game. However, the story will eventually end.
I’m still curious about Nier Re[in]carnation, although there hasn’t been any news about an English release yet.
Meanwhile, details about the Nier Replicant remaster continue to get muddled as people pass on news. Right now it isn’t clear how much the game is being changed, except that it’s planned to be more than a straight remaster and will have some new content.
Before any of this happens, I need to finish Nier Automata! Maybe by the time Nier Re[in]carnation is out, I’ll be ready for it. What do you think about the new Nier Re[in]carnation details?
