Do you think you can do an LP of Replicant? Or at least post videos of how things were changed? I for one, would like to see Emil and Brother Nier bro it up.

It isn't really in the sense that they're like going to crack open some Natty Light and go kill some Shades or whatever, it's more like Emil sort of becomes the outlet for Brother Nier's sibling love that he no longer can express with Yonah's absence. When you get right down to it, both Niers react the exact same way to the sequence. It's just that Father Nier is drawing upon his years of being a dad and Brother Nier is able to use his misdirected filial bond, both men using their talents to reassure and comfort a friend in their time of need.

If anyone would like to peer through the mirror to reveal yet another tale, here's this scene from his perspective. (I'm linking it with an embedded video because the Suggestions have some spoiler potent preview images.)


"Emil, you're going to be okay..."

You may not be able to understand Japanese, but just by listening to the tone and inflection of Brother Nier's words you can just hear it. It's that kind of voice you have when you try to reassure a sibling of something terrible, that you don't know exactly what to say but you want to say something. Just so you can try to make them feel a little less alone. What could he possibly say to really make it better?

EDIT: Shit I can't believe I forgot this. One of the reasons why Brother Nier is so impacted and moved by all this is because he knows the same sort of pain and suffering Emil's going through right now. Just as Emil's entire world was suddenly shattered by this harsh new reality, Nier looks back upon his own experiences and finds a kindred soul like his. Both of these characters essentially lost their sisters and had their lives irrevocably changed by forces outside of their control.

Also I thought about doing an LP for NieR Replicant but I really don't think I'd be very good at it. I don't have a good computer (just a bad laptop) and nothing in the form of capture devices like a Dazzle or anything. Plus the entire LP would be "Okay, here's what you saw in Dark Id's update about this. Now here's 1000 words about how the Brother Nier falsely believes he's created a bubble within a bubble to protect Yonah and how this links into the child's ideal that the Home is always the safest place" which I really don't feel anyone needs to read. It's better suited to me just pointing out the interesting stops along the way.

I have, in the very least, been working diligently on plans to LP Steel Battalion though. Maybe some day in the future when I know what I'm doing
