However, while Spotify can’t adjust on the fly based on how hard you’re doing your homework, the soundtrack gets you close enough to the emotional ride of NieR: Automata. Even on YouTube, fans uploaded separate versions of popular songs based on intensity and presence of vocals.
After all, part of its power is how the soundtrack swells and backs down through your experiences. It’s hard to capture the magic of NieR: Automata’s dynamic music design on Spotify. Sadly, the music experience isn’t perfect between the soundtrack version and the in-game experience. The incredible music helped solidify Nier: Automata as one of the most influential JRPGs of the 2010s. For Automata, Keiichi Okabe and Keigo Hoashi head most of the tracks, bringing haunting and powerful vocals together with a variety of instruments and styles. They also put up the soundtrack for the original NieR game(s?), which came out ten years ago this year.Įven if you’re not a fan of the NieR soundtracks, both are pretty freaking gorgeous soundtracks. Now, you don’t have to pause your Spotify to get the NieR: Automata soundtrack going, because Square Enix and PlatinumGames put most - likely all, even - of the soundtrack on Spotify. Thanks to Square Enix, the latest is likely a big deal to any fan of orchestral music and/or JRPGs. Slowly, video game publishers are making it easier to not turn to YouTube for your video game soundtrack needs.
