Dynamic Theme
Avatar Set
It’s worth pointing out the avatar set has two avatars blurred out to keep them a surprise – the first looks like the “father” version of the NieR Replicant protagonist, who only appeared in the original western release of NieR Replicant, known as just “NieR” in the west. They haven’t forgotten about Papa NieR after all!
All first-run copies of NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… will include a mini-soundtrack, including three songs from the first disc of the “Weiss Edition” soundtrack (included in the Snow White Edition of the game): “Hikari no Fubuki Oka”, “Inishie no Uta”, and “Kaine”.
Square Enix also shared retailer-exclusive bonuses in Japan:
Square Enix e-STORE: Steel Book Case
Amazo.co.jp: Tarot card (1)
