While the RepliCant version of NieR is playable on PCs via the ver.1.22474487139... remaster, the Gestalt version is locked to the PS3 and X360. Players of the remastered RepliCant version only see this version of Nier in a side-mode that was originally DLC. It'd also let more people experience what NieR was like in its original state, as opposed to its remastered state.
Would love to immortalize Papa NieR as he is my preferred version although it's not canon. Definitely not as playable as it's remake, but still a solid gem nontheless. Definitely my favorite game in the franchise next to Drakengard 3.
One of my favorite games of all time now it’s not as popular as the other NieR games but it holds a very special place in my heart and hope this game can return in any form
This is one of my favorite games of all time. A beautifully written game, with excellent characters. Music that will stick with you for the rest of your life. It deserves to be preserved and remembered, not replaced by a subpar remake.
One of the last true reasons for me to still have my 360. The Gestalt version never got the remake it deserved, so at the very least it should be preserved on PC.
My first experience with this game was Gestalt with "papa Nier" on PS3. I loved it and I'm afraid this version has been abandoned for good. So I really wish it could be published (and saved) on GoG, for lack of a remake or remaster.
the other side of the story. the side that never should've existed. but it did, and it is an extremely unique take on the story. father Nier can be argued that he doesn't fit the story whatsoever because this story was made around the brother, and yes you would be right. he feels out of place with the cast especially with Kaine and Emil and considering how old they are, and all the sibling motifs around the game what with Devola and Popola, Gideon and Jakob, etc.
that being said, you cant help but love father Nier, there is something about a man who has been through so much throughout his whole life, his wife gone and only his daughter to protect, the "only sane guy" in his crew so to speak. it's such a unique perspective on the game that i cant help but admire. i still heavily prefer brother Nier for many reasons, but i would love to see this version of the game (and also the PS3 version of RepliCant) on PC as every single version of this masterpiece of a game is worth playing and have their own merits. a slim chance, but i still hope it happens nonetheless.
"It's like I just found something special. Something very special."
NieR/Gestalt is the version that myself in the west got chance to play. Yes, the story was written more for brother > father however It felt a slight bit more real having a father protagonist. Another reason I'd love to preserve this version is maybe a hot take but the original OST, some songs just hit better/harder in this version, I'm looking at you E/S (if you know, you know).

Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name.
Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Survival
