Village

"Our world is dying. Once thriving populations now lie decimated by plague and disease. ...The end has never felt so close."

— Nier

The Village is a major location in NieR and NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139.... It serves as the games' primary hub, and is the home of Nier and Yonah.

Overview[]

Apart from Nier's house and the library, which seems to be the permanent residence of Popola, the village consists of a single strip of buildings by a river. This part of the town is called the Shopping District—however, it is the only district. There is also a large green field surrounding the village as well as a fountain near the library, where Devola sometimes plays music.

The village has three large gates which lead to the outside world. After the attack on the village during the game's first half, the remaining gates are shut, and will then need to be opened when leaving each time. The ferry also becomes available for use after Kainé is freed from her petrification, opening up fast travel at designated spots in the precinct.

Manned by a regular guard NPC in the original release, Nier first learns of the Red-Bag Man and the canal's renovation in ver.1.22... from Popola instead. Inserted between his visits to the Forest of Myth and the manor in the Southern Plains, she asks Nier to check up on the Red-Bag Man at Seafront, having been absent from work at that point. The Red-Bag Man will then assume control of the ferry early in the game's second half, until his sudden disappearance and death at the hands of Louise.
