October 01, 2025 Nier Replicant, Episode 14: Memor[y] feat. Michael Higham
Remember how we said Nier Replicant had a new ending added to it? We decided to save it for the last. Well, almost. We still have the external media episode after this. Michael Higham returns for the final gameplay episode of our Nier season in which we go back and play Replicant's Ending E, discuss how it connects both Nier games in new surprising ways, and lament once again that we didn't get to play as Kaine before. Enjoy the show!
