This is your new jrpg protagonist

Isn't this just the PS3 game but instead of old man they used the brother for localization issues?

It was Papa Nier that was created for the west. In Japan the PS3 version uses Brother Nier and the 360 version uses Papa Nier, in the west it's only Papa Nier. While Brother Nier is the original one, Papa Nier was created by Taro, and he considers both of them canon.

>japan gets both papa and brother nier
hopefully there's an option to replay using pap nier instead after beating the game once or something along those lines

Nier got his ass plowed for money but didn't enjoy it. Emil is actually gay

Papa Nier canonically doesn't make sense. Like, people can keep talking about it, but it makes 0 fucking sense - even with the brilliant VA he's not truly the protagonist that game was made for.

Old man Nier is literally, LITERALLY, Taro mocking westerners because he thinks the only protagonists they enjoy are gruff brutish old men. Why do people actually like a character that was literally designed to piss on you?

As opposed to chinks who can only deal with pretty boy twinks, hence why Vaan was added to FFXII to not intimidate them with OH NO BIG STRONG BEARDED WESTERN MAN PREASE DON'T BOMB ME AGAIN BONG BONG YOOOOOOOOOO ME SO HORNY ME ROVE YOU RONG TIME I EAT A BAT SOUP

To be fair the whole game is meant to shit on westerners, or at least Americans.
>inb4 obsessed
I'm an American.

>Nier got his ass plowed for money but didn't enjoy it.
do we get to see this in game

no

No but maybe in the new version they'll add a hyper-detailed interactive scene of it, that's harder to beat than Drakengard 3's final boss.

Can't wait to see how Toylogic fuck this one up.

They changed it for western audiences because of censorship. They didn't want to have a scene where a twink sells his butthole to an old man to make some money to help save his sister. And then have a quest later where you get to murder the guy.

He's bi, not gay.
God I fucking hate what Yas Forums has become.

cope faggot

I'm guessing it'll just be a straight port with no combat improvements, but with some game breaking glitches added.

>He's gay btw
OP is a fucking retard.

>look at my headcanon bait
it's shit
>They didn't want to have a scene where a twink sells his butthole to an old man to make some money to help save his sister.
That didn't happen in game you fucking retard. It's part of extra materials.

There is no such scene in the original game, it was part of Grimoire Nier.

>Barry still spamming his headcanon around

So finally a fucking jrpg twink protagonist actually had the balls to come out and say what everyone's obviously seen for decades?

I think the best case scenario is they give papa nier an anime so they can adjust and fix what doesn't work

90% of the story beats don't work. And it's always funny to see westerners acting like Japan gives any level of fuck about papa, nobody in Japan played that shit. It existed only as a mild curiosity for an English dubbed 360 release as a "look at what these poor fucking Americans have to play instead".

>gets fucked in the ass
>not gay

Emil is gay for Nier tho. And can you blame him?

shadowlord will be daddy nier

It's one of the most underrated games of the last gen

Nier is shit

Where's the big tittied older girl that's sucking his dick?

>He's gay btw
Based. I might actually play this then.

Not anymore

>he's gay
It's ok because he's cute and would look good in a dress.

>user gets forcibly fucked in the ass by a hobo
>whoops, can't help it, guess you're gay now

Why doesn't it work?

>new

Go away, summer.

>Why do people actually like a character that was literally designed to piss on you?
because he wasn't that bad

>new

You have yet to explain how the story beats "don't work" btw.

Papa Nier works a lot better than Brother Nier, which is just incest wank shit. A father's love and stupidity > a brother's.

Japan loves incest.

>muh fatherly love
back to last of us with you

>new

Have you tried playing video games?

>not being a father

shouldn't you be playing fortnite kiddo

>A father's love and stupidity
Make no sense. Brother on other hand is fine Because he is fucking tool of fucking shit up, not for old man who probably have better developed brain.

>dubtrannies seething now that their game is confirmed not canon, even though that much has been obvious for about 10 years
they are gonna be coping for the next year aren't they

Near Republican is gay tranny properganda

Did they seriously change how brother nier looks?

There is no tragedy or pathos in Nier doing things "because he is a tool of fucking shit up". There is tragedy and pathos in Nier as a father doing evil things for his daughter's sake. Fuck off, ESL.

trannies love brother Nier, not chad Nier tho

Wait, is this real?
I was just about to emulate it.

>Why do people actually like a character that was literally designed to piss on you?
It's because he was made specifically for us that I like him. I felt a connection to him over faggy, brooding JRPG pretty boy #1245433

yeah emulate it anyway cause this remake is the worse version of the game

Nier wasn't forced, at least not physically, he sold his body for money.
Doesn't make it full gay but it's at least kind of gay.

>He's gay
Based.
Isn't there a gay little shota femboy in this too?

he cute :3

yoshi tacho created both and consideres both canon, what fucking nonsense are you on about

>canon
Nobody fucking cares about Nier canon.

There are plenty of old farts who are fucking stupid.
Papa Nier has a lot of problems story-wise but it is refreshing to have a character who you would stereotypically expect to be wise and experienced to instead be a bumbling idiot. There are lots of people like that IRL.

>make something to piss on people
>do it too well, they like it and don't want your original vision
>spend the next decade seething, refuse to re-release it

>There is no tragedy
>Doom entire humanity so he can get laid with his sister
Sure.
>Nier as a father doing evil things for his daughter's sake
Problem is he doing this without even questioning himself. That kinda not good fit for old character. Make more sense for younger.
>Fuck off, ESL.
Rude, nigger.
