Modding in the old soundtrack

[Dr. Grinspoon *]

Is this possible? Looks like soundfiles are in pck-files but im not too familiar with those and how to open / alter them. I'd really like to play the new version with the old soundtrack as imo its better.

It should be possible, we just need to know how to open the pck files

It's not only possible but it's being worked on. How seriously anybody is working on it, I can't say. But using these tools, you can mod the soundtrack: https://github.com/NSACloud/NieR-Audio-Tools

I found a video where someone tried it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTQHHfMFqv0

But the big issue to get over is that the songs are different lengths now. So if you just insert the old song into the new game, you'll get a potentially large gap of no music while it waits to loop, because the new songs are usually longer.

oh yeah, i did not even think of that. What seems like an easy solution might end up being a very painstaking process. Hope someone has the patience to do it.

I refuse to buy this game until they fix the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ soundtrack .

you're just being dramatic. The soundtrack isnt bad enough that you should skip out on the whole game.

Doubt that person even played the original, let alone be able to afford the remake.
He's just trying to make himself seem important as a consumer even though he is not.

yea so how about we just stick to the relevant information regarding the modding. I dont care if you dont want to pay money for the game because of soundtrack or bash you for that. Please keep this post relevant to the title or dont post.

Its kind of like stealing milk from a store and then complaining that the milk tastes bad to the store.

Well as a original fan of NieR Replicant here, the soundtrack is pretty good to me...

You know these two sets of soundtracks were made by (almost) the same group of people, right?
And you know as a hardcore fan of NieR, soundtrack needs to be bought 3 times, right? lol
(Seriously though, I do this -- keep physical CD and lossless digital copy of soundtrack -- because I love MONACA / Keiichi Okabe works)

Just saying. LOL

Really hoping someone comes up with a mod for this.
It should have been part of the game from the start with an options toggle.
Absolutely stupid not to include it as many older fans still prefer it.

The new soundtrack is good, but I do still prefer the old. I'm hoping someone can mod in an option too. But as mentioned before, it might be more of a chore to do so than it would normally seem. We'll see.

This. The new OST is a masterpiece that often even eclipses the old one.
Pretty much everyone i know who ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the new OST came around after playing Replicant.
It just FITS. There is a reason for the new versions.
