While the RepliCant version of NieR is playable on PCs via the ver.1.22474487139... remaster, the Gestalt version is locked to the PS3 and X360. Players of the remastered RepliCant version only see this version of Nier in a side-mode that was originally DLC. It'd also let more people experience what NieR was like in its original state, as opposed to its remastered state.
One of my favorite games of all time now it’s not as popular as the other NieR games but it holds a very special place in my heart and hope this game can return in any form
Would love to immortalize Papa NieR as he is my preferred version although it's not canon. Definitely not as playable as it's remake, but still a solid gem nontheless. Definitely my favorite game in the franchise next to Drakengard 3.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. A beautifully written game, with excellent characters. Music that will stick with you for the rest of your life. It deserves to be preserved and remembered, not replaced by a subpar remake.
One of the last true reasons for me to still have my 360. The Gestalt version never got the remake it deserved, so at the very least it should be preserved on PC.
My first experience with this game was Gestalt with "papa Nier" on PS3. I loved it and I'm afraid this version has been abandoned for good. So I really wish it could be published (and saved) on GoG, for lack of a remake or remaster.
the other side of the story. the side that never should've existed. but it did, and it is an extremely unique take on the story. father Nier can be argued that he doesn't fit the story whatsoever because this story was made around the brother, and yes you would be right. he feels out of place with the cast especially with Kaine and Emil and considering how old they are, and all the sibling motifs around the game what with Devola and Popola, Gideon and Jakob, etc.
that being said, you cant help but love father Nier, there is something about a man who has been through so much throughout his whole life, his wife gone and only his daughter to protect, the "only sane guy" in his crew so to speak. it's such a unique perspective on the game that i cant help but admire. i still heavily prefer brother Nier for many reasons, but i would love to see this version of the game (and also the PS3 version of RepliCant) on PC as every single version of this masterpiece of a game is worth playing and have their own merits. a slim chance, but i still hope it happens nonetheless.
"It's like I just found something special. Something very special."
NieR/Gestalt is the version that myself in the west got chance to play. Yes, the story was written more for brother > father however It felt a slight bit more real having a father protagonist. Another reason I'd love to preserve this version is maybe a hot take but the original OST, some songs just hit better/harder in this version, I'm looking at you E/S (if you know, you know).
For a lot of people this "Gestalt" version of Nier, with the father character, is their original experience. We're also the people who bought, played, supported, and told others about this title back when the internet & gaming community at large couldn't care less about its existence. We are the reason Automata even exists; like it or not, without father Nier, this franchise would be dead in the water. This version of Nier absolutely deserves preservation.
I've played the original Replicant version of Nier; and, while it is still the same game at its core, it's fundamentally different with the brother character protagonist. Myself and many others identify more with the father character; we find that it suits the story better, and Jamieson Price's performance as father Nier is exceptional. The Replicant remaster also changed the way the characters look, retconning Kaine's appearance into an inferior-looking 2B look-alike, ruining her characterization as a tough, sexy badass by giving her an unfitting doll-like face, turning her into another unimaginative waifu-bait character rather than preserving her original unique juxtaposition of being somewhat gruff-looking yet alluring and sexy by the way of her dress. The people responsible for Kaine's visual redesign in the remaster lack a fundamental understanding of what originally made the character appealing and amass so many fans.
I'm ultimately fine with various versions of Nier existing—the franchise has been this way since its very inception—and people can and should play their preferred version without judgement. But this franchise simply wouldn't exist as it is today without this version of Nier; it absolutely fits GOG's mission and deserves to be preserved in its original form. I hope someday we can see this version of Nier get the respect and recognition that it deserves for kick-starting this franchise in the west, rather than having it be doomed to PS3 and Xbox 360 oblivion for all time.

Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious BookAtelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book is an upcoming Japanese role-playing video game. It is the 17th main game in the "Atelier" series.
The game features a completely reformed world view from earlier titles within the series, in addition to a new alchemy-centric system. Sophie is able to obtain ideas for recipes from activities such as harvesting, exploring, battling, or from events, and these ideas are used as a basis of improving her knowledge of alchemy.
When she performs alchemy, the player is presented with various predetermined shapes representing the ingredients used, and arranges each shape on a puzzle board that represents the cauldron. This process involves visual trial-and-error, and if the shapes are arranged perfectly, the player receives a bonus. The materials selected affect the quality of the item synthesized. This system is intended to offer a high degree of freedom based on the player's own play style.Fantasy
