If you have a PS3 (I think it’s on PC, as well), check out Nier Gestalt (or just Nier).
In Japan, there were 2 version released, Gestalt and Replicant. They only released Gestalt in the west.
The Nier Replicant remake coming is a remake of the Japanese Replicant version.
Not a remake of the version released on the PS3 in the west.
The big difference is the main character in Replicant is a boy trying to save his sister. In Gestalt, it’s a father trying to save his daughter.
I also expect Kaine’s backstory to not be altered for the western release of Replicant remake like Gestalt
In the Japanese versions, Kaine has some elements that some would see as pretty fuckin’ woke.
The removed it from the western version because they thought the market wouldn’t like it. I’m always in the “Fuck Censorship” camp and was not okay with the change. I’ll be happy to see the correct version of that character presented but imagine they’ll be a few pretty pissed people in this community if they play it. not knowing. haha
