Yoko Taro had talks about adding The Little Mermaid to the NieR Replicant. He mentioned that the story was supposed to be in the original game. That was when they realized that they didn’t have to have it in, but I figured that I spent the whole day getting the idea out, and maybe I could take it on as a bonus if the concept book wasn’t developed yet. If anything, I read without thinking very deeply about a novel. He said that since its origins, implementing that into the game was quite easy. He also spoke out that other novellas of Grimoire NieR didn’t arrive, because they were never meant to play a game. In terms of the NieR lore, here’s what Yoko Taro said about handling and monitoring it. I try to enforce this lore so harshly. We have made it public that Nier is a multi-dimensional universe, and I believe stories and characters should fit in each medium perfectly. What matters to the players is that they experience and not protect their lore. Oh, I just said something really nice here. Let’s remark it in bold letters! What’s that like? Yes, I said that all the players were the experience. Thanks kindly. In a holiday message called Yoko Taros, he joked that the series was finished. NieR Replicant is available on the Xbox One, PS4, and PC. I can’t give NieR reloadation on iOS and Android devices.
