Developers originally used Yoko Taro's birthday, June 6th, as a placeholder for Nier's birthday. It was planned to change Nier's birth date to September 11th in honor of the Japanese release date for Drakengard, but they forgot and unintentionally made the placeholder official. [4] [5] Yoko became aware of this at the end of development and was amused when fans later told him that it was Older Brother Day. Coincidentally, he has a real-life younger sister and admits he's not close to her. [6]Guglielmo, Samuel (November 18, 2019). "Square Enix Announces New NieR: Automata Book About YoRHa Boys".

During their search, the two comrades encounter the Shadowlord. Nier is confused but reasons his defeat should return Yonah to him. It doesn't so they continue. They encounter a girl that resembles Yonah's figure. Nier is drawn towards her in spite of Emil's warnings, becoming angered once the girl is revealed to be a Shade. Calling the Shade an impostor, he slays it while raving for his little sister. His mind soon regresses and he turns into an inconsolable Shadowlord before Emil. While you’re offered a brief introduction to the world at start, I also feel like I got spoiled some major plot points along the way. Well, currently I have no way of knowing how canon are the events of this novel and how relevant to plot of the game they are, but it certainly felt like some truth bombs were mentioned quite casually, the author assuming you are already familiar with these facts.

The omission of displayed town names, Shade names, and so forth is supposed to represent the world from Nier's perspective. Yoko thought it would have been weird for the protagonist to have "godlike knowledge" of everything around him. He adds that he is bad with names too, so he knows it's realistic.

This solution humanity came up with, the creation of a system of clones that could be used to ward off The Watchers' magic, ended up breaking down due to the actions of Nier himself, resulting in the eventual demise of the original human race (though not their clones, called “Replicants”.) During his quest, Nier uncovered the truth of his existence as merely a shell body that had gained sentience, his consciousness intended to be eventually displaced by his original self’s soul, now known as “The Shadow Lord.” Part of this Replicant program involved the creation of a control village, administered by two red-haired androids named Devola and Popola, characters whose models also return in NieR: Automata.

A Nintendo Switch port was released on October 6, 2022. [79] Saito requested a Switch port to celebrate of the game's fifth anniversary after being impressed by Astral Chain (2019), which Taura directed. [41] [80] The port's developer Virtuos wanted to preserve as much of the game as possible but capped the frame rate at 30 fps and made a racing-based side quest less difficult. [81] Saito was comfortable with the reduced frame rate due to Astral Chain 's combat working at that frame rate. [41] Sound compression was a challenge; the team optimized the sound and graphics engine to allow the highest-quality transfer onto the Switch's less-powerful hardware. The game's developers made scene-by-scene comparisons to ensure the final product was as close as possible to the other console versions. [81] At Yoko's request, more costumes and items were included, some themed after the mobile game Nier Reincarnation. The port's subtitle references the game's final ending. [41]

It is barely an exaggeration to call Nier: Automata a masterpiece. With its release in 2017, it gained massive popularity for its unique gameplay and story structure, its lovable and deeply emotional cast of characters, and a multitude of themes that all dig into the very essence of what it means to be human; to have a god worth fighting for. So how do the expanded stories compare to the game? Sherif Saed (March 23, 2017). "Modders fix Nier: Automata's resolution bug on PC, drastically improve frame-rate in unofficial patch". VG247.
