>Start with the Replicant remake
Bad advice. Play gestalt or repliCAN translation. Theres a lot wrong with 1.22.
Young brother niers dub VA is unbearable, delivers every line with the same melodramatic inflection. The aircombos make it too easy to rack up damage on tall enemies and trivialize some of the level design. The addition of the cross up attack and lock on are un necessary. The mermaid arcs cinematography, and really any added seen, clashes with the rest of the game. The fight choreograohy for the cutscene during the boss fight in that arc is also nothing like the rest of the game. A lot of the added scenes before ending e just tell us the same things we already knew about the characters but in a more heavy handed way. Emils new scenes pretty much turn him into mikhail from dod3 same way that automata did but at least in automata like 10k years had passed so its somewhat justifiable that he changed so much. Part 2 bro niers head looks like a christmas tree, and his face just looks like a fire emblem dude he lacks that look of stoic grim determination he had in the og that was sort of reminiscent of wander in sotc, and they gave him fucking childbearing hips (i dont dig them). Everyone has weird shovel face / dorito chins. They took away the games unique charm by automata-fying it. Ending e already existed, you just had to read it in a book called grimoire nier which is in print in english right now. There is more disparity between the npc model quality and main character models in 1.22.
