Description: The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: skl.sh/writingongames04211 --- MAJOR SPOILERS for both NieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139 and NieR: Automata ahead. You have been warned! When NieR Replicant Ver.1.22474487139... was announced last year, I don't think anyone could have foreseen that this rerelease of a decade-old cult classic would receive something as substantial as a whole new playable ending—especially not one as good as this. Let's take a look at how, through tying the events of the new Ending E so closely to the game's sequel, Automata, series creator Yoko Taro forces us to re-examine features and mechanics of this universe we previously thought to be true. In doing so, he creates what feels like the thematic conclusion of the entire series.
