About this mod
Restores the soundtrack of the original 2010 game in place of the 2021 remake soundtrack.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
ALL of the music from the OG PS3/360 release is here and accounted for.
Obviously brand new music tracks were left as is.
I'm genuinely surprised this wasn't already a thing beyond a handful of abandoned projects.
So I decided to do it myself, as well as provide links to the tools and resources I used in the creation process so other people can make adjustments if they want to.
This is labaled "BETA" because not every single scenario has been tested at the moment. But barring any unforseen consequences this mod SHOULD work just fine. If you encounter any errors do not hesitate to report them.
One important note:
There are instances where "Emil - Sacrifice" and "Deep Crimson Foe" will play an instrumental version. In those instances it will be the 2021 music playing. This is intentional and not an error. Neither song has an instrumental version in the original game's files, so the 2010 version only plays whenever the game uses the vocal mixes of those songs (which is most cases).
Credits, Special Thanks and Links to vital tools:
StarKitsune for updating this list of replicant music IDs back in 2023.
MikoMango for creating a detailed spreadsheet of .wem IDs for specific layers. It is in "Resources" and I edited it so that it now covers all the tracks in this mod.
n0ctiz for ripping the music from the game and restoring the music for Nier Gestalt's intro, sparing me some busywork.
NSACloud2 for:
Creating Nier Audio Tools which is what enabled me to change the music in the game in the first place. (More info)
Linking to these wwise loop editing guides: 1 2
Compiling loop points for the bulk of the soundtrack.
And last but not least a HUGE thank you to RaiderB from the Nier Modding Discord for not just providing me with crucial and helpful tools (see below) but also for answering my questions and giving me a ton of valuable advice. Seriously, none of this would have been possible without your help.
RaiderB's tools:
Template for editing Replicant's .bnk files.
