You've probably heard of NieR by now. It's an action game that Square Enix announced at E3, designed entirely to appeal to Western audiences and possessing a name that sounds eerily similar to our very own Destructoid founder. It wasn't going to come to Japan at all, but was recently announced in the East as NieR Gestalt. Now Famitsu seems to believe that there are two NieR games coming, not one.
The latest issue of Japan's premier gaming mag has an advertisement for a pair of NieR games called NieR Gestalt and NieR Replicant. No differences are evident as of yet -- all we can see is that the Gestalt image has a picture of the burly dude we've already seen, while Replicant features a young, albeit ugly, lady.
What could it be? Two separate version, a'la Pokémon? Perhaps the game will be getting slight differences on Xbox 360 and PS3, with two different names, a'la Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Who knows, but since I'm an action junkie, I'm quite intrigued. Quite intrigued, indeed. Quite intrigued indeed? Indeed! Indeed indeed indeed.
Quite intrigued indeed!

MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN, THAT'S OUR MOTTO.
Or is it a man with brasier?
...I'm just going to ignore your comment and say what I was going to say anyway.
What innovation! Square is truly turning the RPG genre on its side! Tired of androgynous men? Experience the wonder that is androgynous women!
Really, I can't believe Japan hadn't thought of this sooner. It just seems like natural progression given the staples of their media.
Seriously, chick is ugly.
Oh yes, I think I like indeed indeed ad infinitum nauseam.
Uhhh Yi, Ar, San...
I hate that name.
Quite indeed intrigued!
..probably missing something here, lol
also, is it possible it's a cross dresser? that face kinda screams it, and from that angle you can't see anything to really know there's breasts there... damn you squenix does your whole company have gender identity crisis?
InFinite UnDisCovery ftw!
