The Wretched Automatons Arranged by Shanath

Game: Nier (XBOX 360)

I played Nier a few months ago and absolutely fell in love with its soundtrack. I figured since it's been a while since my last upload I should get working on something else. I've also been a little uninspired lately so I decided to try my luck with a much more simple approach to things than my usual "hectic" stuff.

Either way, I truly hope you enjoy. It really is a beautiful piece.

Nier is my all time favorite game. Every bit of emotion, glorious music, personality, and depth made it a game far superior to most games to date. Understandably, having one of the most complex and amazing soundtracks makes it incredibly hard to make a remix even as good as the original. I can't say I like yours more than the original, I'm sorry to say. But! You did do a wonderful job and I did favorite this track. :) If you make another Nier cover, please let me know because I would love to hear it.
Great job with this. Keep it up!

Nier truly is an amazing game. I'm glad you enjoyed this and I'll be sure to let you know if I ever do something like this in the future.

Despite the fact you could have short it to around 2 minutes it became a relaxing song. good work though.

I'll definitely review. ;)
You say you arranged this as an automation? If that is true, then this is an extremely impressive feat. I have tried to make natural sounding piano arrangements for a long time, but have never come as close to natural realism than this. I must say, this is beautiful. I've never played this game, and so haven't heard the song, but maybe I will play it now because of this. Wonderful work, friend. :)

Shanath responds:

Nier is an amazing game, to be sure. If you ever have the time you really should play it. The story and soundtrack are just so amazing.

As for the piano, you could use Vst that uses actual recorded samples instead of just synths. They do tend to sound a lot more natural.

Thanks for the review! =]
