Young Nier Playable Due To Popular Demand From Worldwide Fans

[moogling]

In The World of Recycled Vessel downloadable content pack, Nier fans in North America will be able to play as Young Nier for the first time. Young Nier is the protagonist of Nier Replicant, a PlayStation 3-only version of Nier where a younger version of Nier sets out to save Yonah, his sister. A Square Enix press release notes this is due to “popular demand of Nier’s worldwide fans.”

In addition to a slender protganist, The World of Recycled Vessel has fifteen areas and stages. More on-rails shooter stages and room challenges are part of the package. The World of Recycled Vessel also reconfigures towns and other areas plus throws in original monsters to fight.

As mentioned earlier, players will unlock new costumes for Nier, Kaine, and Emil. Samurai Nier is one of the extra outfits.

Still not happy about story-content in DLC, but...I fancy young Nier quite a bit. Toughie

I had a feeling they were going to do this somewhere along the lines...whilst playing as Raiden--I mean, young Nier doesn't appeal to me as much as it should (I'm perfectly happy with old Nier, he's such a loveable caveman ♥) I'm still looking forward to it. His costume is a hell of a lot snazzier, for one thing. I hope they don't screw with his voice actor, though...

Oh, and...Samurai old Nier! He looks so serious! ♥

I have to agree with the above posts, I'm not happy that story content will be part as DLC. I've always maintained the opinion that it's lazy developing and another way to increase revenue. I'm perfectly fine with DLC, but anything that adds to the storyline should be part of the disk based content. Period.

As for the second post, I agree, I don't mind the older Nier. I was sceptical at first of the design but it's something you get used to easily, and I could see the father saving his daughter more serious than the a brother saving his sister. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how they're going to implement "young Nier".
