Nier Replicant mod adds the remaster's biggest missing feature

Nier Gestalt lives again thanks to a massive mod that brings Father Nier back to Square Enix's cult RPG remaster

Nier Replicant mod adds the remaster's biggest missing feature

Modder Elevna has released a fully realized PC remaster of Nier Gestalt, featuring the older, grizzled version of the protagonist from the 2010 original. This Father Nier, aged in his 40s and portrayed by voice actor Jamieson Price, replaces the younger version seen in the 2022 remaster. Price's performance has been hailed as career-best, adding an emotional depth to the tragic tale of a post-apocalyptic world.

Elevna's Gestalt mod not only retains the original model but also incorporates Price's voiceover from the original game, along with Papa Nier's dialogue in relevant scenes. The mod even includes alternate skins for the protagonist, as well as swapping Brother Nier back in for dream fights in the game's alternate timeline.
