I'll withhold judgement on "Dearly Beloved" since they give such a small clip of it (still sounds nice).
But that "Song of the Ancients"...damn...

I thoght nier was an awesome game. I hope this ongoing support says something of a sequel in the works.
The studio that made Nier was shut down after the game, and the game itself did not do well. So not likely. I liked the game as well as the soundtrack, but I think only one of them is going to live on.
I'm always up for more Yoko Shimomura, though I think I like her work on Radiant Historia the best so far.
That is great news. I got several amazing soundtracks last year, and I'm looking forward to getting at least the Dream Drop Distance soundtrack. Song of the Ancients sounds beautiful as well, but I don't want to get that soundtrack until I have actually played Nier.
Anybody ever notice the similarities between "Dearly Beloved" and Zelda's "Fairy Fountain" (or menu screen) music? Seems pretty obvious to me that one inspired the other.
Happy to hear the NieR love going on here.
@I Was a Cactus: Apparently they're waiting for a big event for Final Fantasy XIV before releasing the soundtrack proper. Perhaps the PS3 release. But the problems with the game still haven't been hammered out, so I don't know when that's going to happen. I'll keep bugging the music department about it, and hopefully we'll know more at Comic Con when we get to sit down with the music peoples from Square Enix.

Nier was the last game with a great story to come along bearing Square-Enix's name. The developers over at Cavia's thanks? They get dissolved and reintegrated with AQ Interactive for their trouble, and only after they were given a paltry budget with which to work on Nier in the first place.
Meanwhile, Final Fantasy XIII-2 sells over a million copies. Way to go gamers.

they can milk the nier soundtrack until the end of time if they wish and i will listen to every iteration of it.

i actually listened to the nier soundtrack over and over before i played the game, and then when i got around to it, it made playing the game that much more awesome.

Nier is easily my favorite JRPG on this generation of software. Might even be my favorite since my PS1 days. It's flawed as hell, but that STORY has probably the single best twist in gaming.
Also, the music is BALLS IMPRESSIVE. I need this piano CD now.

Oh man I had completely forgotten about Kingdom Hearts 3D. Come on Nintendo, where is my dual nubbie 3DSXL damn it?

Seriously, such a great story.
ps. I have left the Nier site open to keep listening to the song. :(

I haven't even been able to play NieR yet (PS3's disc drive died), but I haven't listened to anything except the three related albums for the last couple of months. It's fantastic.
And don't get me started on the linguistic side of the "future" languages she sang in!
