The six-minute-long YouTube video provides a recap of everything Nier: Automata-related from the past decade, and unless you're a superfan, the sheer measurement is astir apt a batch higher than you'd expect. There's the crippled itself and its assorted re-releases and ports, positive aggregate concerts, signifier presentations, written works, animation, and more.

Tantalyzing arsenic it sounds that this whitethorn mean different crippled is successful the works, Nier fans person been present before. A fig of the Nier works shown successful that video person seemingly teased much Nier to come, but it's ne'er rather been the AAA video crippled rendition fans wanted. The communicative has been told and sequelized done galore antithetic mediums astatine this point, including a no-longer-available mobile crippled that's efficaciously a nonstop sequel, but nary full-blown PC/console crippled has emerged successful the past 9 years. Maybe different fans consciousness differently, but it's near maine a spot jaded astatine the idea.
