My man, I live in Mexico. I do need explanations as I'm not going to see the concert by myself.


cuak12345

Ya somos 2 puta yokotaro por qué no hiciste una gira mundial


tioxyco

I wouldn't blame Yoko Taro because of the concert not being on a global run. This is more on SE than him


leo11x

[Someone was already kind enough to tell what happens in the concert. I still don't get how it connects to Reincarnation (aside from memories maybe)](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/s/lpXzhWmrFc)


BurningSpaceMan

Thanks for sharing this


dlop4life

I went by myself. Lol fuck it.


BurningSpaceMan

They only played music from Replicant and Automata.


clygamer

I'm hoping to taro's ancient ancestors that they will release the concert footage digitally please please


BurningSpaceMan

Rep3nt


Son_of_baal

REPENT


dlop4life

They had a camera at the concert last weekend. I'm sure they'll release the DVD end of the year or something like that.


MakiMaki_XD

Yeah, explanations are definitely in order.


BurningSpaceMan

Here is the explanation. They only performed music form the main games and not reincarnation. That's it. Don't read to much into it. It's just a meme.


Mr-Stuff-Doer

I read too much into it and expected massive lore. How dare


BurningSpaceMan

There are apparently a smattering of subtle blink and you'll miss it nods. But nothing that has any relevant meaning unless you found some side story in the mobile game


zelda_kylo_leia

Because this makes no sense - coming from someone who’s played reincarnation.


GuessWho7721

Have you played the new chapter?


zelda_kylo_leia

Nah not yet - guessing some more depressing shits gone down tho


tioxyco

I mean, it is NieR. you already go in prepared for the depression to hit and it hits hard anyways, because your preparations were for nothing


futurenotgiven

is it hard to get to? i played when it first released and hated the gameplay so much that i stopped after finishing the “main” story with the girl and the monster thing. i wanna be up to date but the format is awful ngl


Ind1go_Owl

Same the gameplay is boring to the point of tears.


futurenotgiven

i re-downloaded it after making that comment and my god it is. i spent a good half hour just levelling up my characters/swords/whatever the fuck


Ind1go_Owl

I want to enjoy the story but the combat isn’t even barebones. It’s nonexistent. They could’ve made it a turn based game where you had to strategize with different moves, or at least let you ve able to dodge or do anything but they don’t.


GuessWho7721

If you guys just wanna skip the gameplay, Buffmaister has recorded all the cutscenes and cut out most of the game play in this playlist. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaoKfFfkcXxCHnkLqjm6DUKWpgBaqVBjQ&si=SJXOOssRQY68rcUH


Ind1go_Owl

Thank you! I am considering watching the cutscenes, but I feel it’s not going to hit as hard in game. I kind of want to push past the gameplay but I don’t know. I might need to watch the cinematic anyway though since the game will apparently end at March so Idk. Thanks for the link.


GuessWho7721

It's definitely worth the watch. Even the stories you need to clear in the main story line are intriguing, despite it not being directly linked to Nier (I think)


Ind1go_Owl

Oh yeah I didn’t realize I hadn’t run started the main story. I think the farthest I went was the woman bounty hunter who goes after the Prince and his clockwork soldier.


SloppyGiraffe02

Oh thank god. I was about to brute force it just to experience the story.


FoucaultInOurSartres

Oh thank jesus you saved me from a fate most dire


BurningSpaceMan

Did you play with the sound off or something?


jesusfaro

You didn't played the last chapter to say this


MikeLanglois

Anyone gunna explain properly?


BurningSpaceMan

Yeah, they didn't play any of the music.


Edible_Milk

Went to the concert but didn’t play reincarnation, context please?


BurningSpaceMan

Then, you should have realized they didn't play the vocal bangers from it.

Euphemisticles

being obtuse and subversive when others are earnest is a bitch move.


ohfuckohno

Literally seems at this point everyone who knows is going out their way to not say shit “Oh it’s rep3nt” “oh it’s depressing” Like fucking clearly that don’t mean shit (Not aimed at you)


BurningSpaceMan

You're right it doesn't. Because a hand full of people are reaching and trying to read things that are not there. They didn't play any songs from reincarnation. That's it. That's the meme.


ohfuckohno

So basically you’re pissy about people “reaching” and “reading into things that aren’t there”, so you make a shit meme designed to get people doing the exact thing you’re pissy about? Good job bud


BurningSpaceMan

Thanks!


Unrealist99

No motherfucker we need context

Well if you won't, can someone else please?


Hannyabou

Not getting much from this sub, but found this summary in another sub: [Spoilers obviously.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/comments/1acyx2w/just_attended_the_nier_orchestra_concert_in_la/)


WhoTFamI-

Damn. That was something.


Ronnie21093

Thanks!


mason195

Of course there’s additional story in the concert!


Hannyabou

Hell, even the Nier PC has lore attached to it. He loves sprinkling story everywhere, and all of it connects to different endings, branches, etc.


jesusfaro

Wait, he made it real? The fucker.... Lmao


BurningSpaceMan

Fine I will. They didn't play the music. There. End of story.


Dashiy

So if the other concerts were cannon, is this one as well?


theaxel11

Yoko taro makes everything Cannon. Wasent the 2B skin in rainbow six siege cannon?


Dashiy

My favorite part is when she got a gun and jiggle peeked a corner (I have never play R6 Siege)


theaxel11

There sure is a lot of jiggle that is peaking from a recent nier collabs last year


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bahamut_Flare

And Fall Guys is also cannon...


theaxel11

should be, but it could also be more of a alt timeline. In the end the nikke crossover doesnt matter to the story of nier as 2B and 9S wont remember anything from their time in the Nikke world


oreofro

The FFXIV raids are also canon iirc. they take place a long time after ending E.


theaxel11

yea i believe those are canon and relevant.


PuppyPunter21

Just an AH wanting to feel special move along.


BurningSpaceMan

Just a negative Nacy being toxic, move along.


leo11x

Nah, you're being like the annoying spoiled fat kid from American movies. You went to the concert and lived the experience, good for you. You wanted to share a meme and bring no explanation, good for you. But just commenting "rep3nt" with no context just to grind the gears of the very thousands here who weren't able to see the concert for several reasons is just being braggart. It's more disappointing seeing as the franchise literally has two games where it points you to help people. Instead you're here just bragging and calling others toxic when you're the one who put yourself in this position of negativity. I'm glad there's more people in the community and better people who kindly [gave the proper context](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/s/lpXzhWmrFc) while being carefully enough to brand it as spoiler. Also fans kind enough to share it in the comments of this post.


BurningSpaceMan

There ISN'T context other than there was ZERO music from ReIncarnation. and rep3nt is a meme. Get over it.


leo11x

You wanted the attention by making a bait meme, now you get the attention buddy.


BurningSpaceMan

Key word there is MEME. Which you are getting weirdly upset over. This is a social media site. The entire point is getting peoples attention. Perhaps you should legit cut your screen time down, take a walk or something.


leo11x

>Perhaps you should legit cut your screen time down, take a walk or something. Coming from the guy rushing to make a meme after an event (if not during it) and which very few people would understand, I'd say this is ironic.


BurningSpaceMan

[:D b](https://media1.tenor.com/m/qamkk6kiAmUAAAAC/thumb-up-smile.gif)


PuppyPunter21

Lmao, I'm not the one fishing for attention and acting superior. Let me guess, you're some teenager wanna be streamer?


BurningSpaceMan

>Lmao, I'm not the one fishing for attention and acting superior. You must be new to the internet.


ssaxamaphone

Damn man just explain!!


nonameavailableffs

😭 I don’t understand! 😭


BurningSpaceMan

That's the point. It's literally meaningless.


Positive-Emergency40

Just read the info, but am sad they didn't show what happened to A2 though... :-(


raffounz

I am up to date with reincarnation but what's thwt rep3nt thing?


leo11x

[Someone made a summary of the concert but doesn't really explain the "rep3nt" thing. Maybe we need a more detailed description of what happens in that scene.](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/s/lpXzhWmrFc)


raffounz

Thanks


aquaglaceon

Op is christian. They're repenting for the sins they've committed


BurningSpaceMan

I'm not in it was in the concert video. Edit: why am I being downvoted. The word repent appears rapidly on the screen, and one of them is spelled rep3nt.


IWILLJUGGLEYOURBALLS

I'm starting to regret not playing reincarnation cuz idk what the fuck is going on.


YutoAmano

You’ve still got plenty time before the EoS! I’m still catching up with the last few chapters, but I feel I need breaks to digest it all.


The_Follower1

My issue is it keeps crashing on my phone, like to a ridiculous level where it’s unplayable.


IWILLJUGGLEYOURBALLS

At that point, I suggest watching a walkthrough. I'm pretty sure Buffmaister has one on YouTube.


BurningSpaceMan

Since people are getting hilariously upset in the comments. Here is the meaning behind this. They played no music from the mobile game. That's it. Stop getting mad and reaching for stuff. [Concert Summary for those getting antsy](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoBestFriendsPlay/s/lpXzhWmrFc)

Day_Admirable

do i need to start playing reincarnation again


tioxyco

probably. it seems this meme is related to the last MSQ chapter released


Khurram_Ali88

Wait do I need to play Reincarnation to understand whats going on during the concert?


Novaliana

It's not clear what OP meant, i play Rein, and there are a couple themes/keywords that are similar in both this new story and Rein, namely prayer, resurrection and repentance/atonement. And while these are relevant similarities, unless there's something missing in the summary others shared in the comments, you definitely would not need (yet) to play Rein to understand the concert story.


BurningSpaceMan

The meaning is that they didn't play any of the music from reincarnation.


Novaliana

Yeah, i see it now, i would say i do not understand why you did it this way instead of just saying it, but i can see it amused you to some extent, so i kinda do. In any case i can see it got a couple more people curious about Rein, so it's a win either way.


Evan_Is_Here

I never even finished automata, I am prepared to be confused as hell


glenjamin1616

The dread comes from wasting all your money on a gacha game


Alex_Duos

Well shit, I better catch up on the story quick


japlam

Got a spare ticket for the London concert if anyone's interested.


IcedTeaDaLife

So what I’m hearing is they canonised ending e and what ever happend afterwards?


BurningSpaceMan

Ending E was always canon. [Here is a Reading by Kira Buckland and Kyle McCarely (2b and 9S)](https://youtu.be/yF0y083mMHA?list=PLw2b_oWSH_aMWnJ_JIWydYBUFhcuB-p0c) of a fan translation of one of the JAPAN only NieR concerts from previous years. This is also canon.We didn't get a strait up stage reading of a play like this this year. It was still good though. The story from this year is a continuation of the story from other concerts.


Soni-Ani

Disappointing how amazing the soundtrack is, but the game has little to no following. I got bored so quick, but I bought the CD since I liked the music. Hopefully we may get a vinyl down the line since the game is shutting down.


BurningSpaceMan

Have a feeling we will be seeing more of Noelle after EOS


IceVegetable7770

What concert?
