By finding the sealed verses – literal passages with magical powers – that integrate Weiss himself, Nier becomes more powerful, and he is one step closer to solving the riddle of the Black Scrawl and putting an end to Yonah’s predicament. Along the way Nier meets the Grimoire Weiss, a talking book who says he has the answers Nier so desperately seeks. The goal, however, always remain simple: save Yonah. It is left to players to piece together what little information and lore they learn, and the shocking revelations that come later on will destroy whatever expectations they might have had in the first place.
What is the Black Scrawl? Why are we seemingly settled in the future, yet the technology is so stagnant? Why do these deformities drop children's coloring books when killed? Whether unintentionally or as a consequence of director Yoko Taro’s maddening videogame philosophy, NieR abstracts its storytelling to the point of creating a confusing and apparently disjointed world, with a rich but detached folklore. Save the daughter, kill some monsters, help people out of their predicament. The story unravels through simple premises that create huge questions for the player – questions that are not always addressed. Nier, refusing to accept losing his daughter to the illness, embarks on a quest to save her, meeting along the way all kinds of oddball companions and uncovering twisted secrets. For over a thousand years a strange incurable epidemic, known as the Black Scrawl, has scarred humanity, and Yonah falls prey of the disease. NieR is an unconventional tale about a father called Nier (or a brother, if you were playing the Japanese version, but we'll go with father) raising and protecting his daughter Yonah, in a society settled upon the remnants of a fallen postmodern world. However, how many know about its now almost forgotten predecessor? NieR, the action RPG that unfortunately was consigned to oblivion after a not-so-positive critical reception and poor sales, only to later amass cult classic status and delayed appreciation.

The game has certainly gained traction – both the producer and director have expressed their confidence in revisiting the world of NieR, and having developer Platinum Games on-board, plus the overall well-received demo, gives hope of a successful product. In just a few weeks NieR: Automata will release in stores worldwide. By Damián C, posted on 04 February 2017 / 10,203 Views
