~~About the Stream~~
Hey there everyone, and welcome to the second part of my Nostalgia Nation-ish playthrough of NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139.... Following on from the seeming tradition of my Nostalgia Nation playthroughs so far, although I have played NieR before, it was back in 2010 on the PlayStation 3, whereas this is a very thorough remaster on PlayStation 4, with enhanced graphics, a different interpretation of the main character (based on a previously-Japan-exclusive version of the game), and revised gameplay inspired heavily by the faster-paced sequel NieR Automata. For these reasons, I'm still not sure whether this counts as Nostalgia Nation or not.

In this second stream we get to the often-encountered "sidequest stream" way earlier than we usually get them, with us spending a lot of time running all over the place trying to please everyone. But we do also get to check out the Junk Heap on behalf of two brothers who's mum went exploring it in order to find supplies but hasn't returned. We head back to the Aerie where we once again meet up with everyone's favourite lingerie-clad fighter Kainé to take on Hook, her huge Shade nemesis, and finally we go to the desert to meet the king of the Kingdom of Facade, who might have information on how to deal with Yonah's disease, the Black Scrawl.

Until next time...buh-bye!

~About Nostalgia Nation~~
Nostalgia Nation is a feature on my channel where I play old games I've played before, just because I want me a nostalgia hit. I started this feature with Final Fantasy IX in 2019, and it's now become a regular part of my channel.

~~About NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...~~
NieR is an action role-playing video game originally developed by Cavia and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in April 2010. In Japan, the game was released as Nier Replicant for the PlayStation 3 with a younger main character, while an alternative version titled Nier Gestalt with an older main character was released for the Xbox 360; the world-wide releases of the game were based solely with the older protagonist, and released only as NieR. NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... is an enhanced remaster of the game, developed by Toylogic under the supervision of director Yoko Taro, with gameplay direction by PlatinumGames' Takahisa Taura and released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows on April 23, 2021, and is the version being streamed in this series.

The game is a spin-off from the Drakengard series, and follows the fifth ending of the first game, the events of which have left the planet Earth in a state of decay. Set over one thousand years after this, the game puts the player in control of the protagonist as he attempts to find a cure for an illness, known as the Black Scrawl, to which Yonah—either his sister or daughter, depending on the version—has succumbed. Partnering with a talking book known as Grimoire Weiss, he journeys with two other characters, Kainé and Emil, as he attempts to find a remedy and understand the nature of the creatures known as Shades that stalk the world. The gameplay borrows elements from various video game genres including side-scrolling platformers, choose-your-own-adventure style novel games, and survival horror, occasionally switching between them and the main role-playing-based gameplay.
