Nier Replicant is the remake-remaster hybrid of the original 2010 Nier. Japan had two versions of the original game on launch, one with Papa Nier as the protagonist and one with Brother Nier as the protagonist, dubbed Gestalt and Replicant respectively. However, Replicant is the first time that Westerners could play as brother Nier, as previously only the Gestalt version was localized over here.

This beautiful RPG is the predecessor of Nier: Automata and also offers multiple endings for players to unlock. So how long exactly does it take to complete Replicant? We've got all the info you need right here.
How Long Does It Take To Finish Nier Replicant?
Nier Replicant is a game that encourages more than one playthrough — it offers multiple endings, but if you're only interested in completing the game once and are happy to see just the first ending, you're looking at about 19.5 hours.
This obviously increases if you choose to do a lot of the optional side content, as you can easily add another 20 hours to your playtime with quests, farming for weapon upgrade materials, or gardening.
How Long Does It Take To 100% Nier Replicant?
If you plan to view all of the endings, complete all of the optional side quests, and snag yourself that platinum trophy/1,000G you're looking at about 67 hours.
To view all of the other endings, you need to complete the game more than once, in addition to fulfilling some other requirements each time. This isn't as bad as you think though, the game is split into two parts, and any subsequent playthroughs begin from the beginning of Part Two, so you don't literally have to play the entire game again.
The only exception is Ending E, which starts from Part One again but also doesn't require a "complete" playthrough. Arguably, you need to view all endings to get the "full story". We have a full endings guide right here.
