NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim the machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful machines.

Humanity has been driven from the Earth by mechanical beings from another world. In a final effort to take back the planet, the human resistance sends a force of android soldiers to destroy the invaders. Now, a war between machines and androids rages on… A war that could soon unveil a long-forgotten truth of the world.

I don’t like lossy compression, but this game proves, that sometimes developers have to use brains.

Most game videos in NieR are in 1600×904 resolution, not even proper FullHD. And developers used extremely high bitrate for them, up to 30 MBbit/second with 30 FPS. Even the July 2021 build still uses too high bitrate!

And I must add, that cutscenes (pre-rendered by game engine into movie files) take more than 50% of game files, occupying 19 GB.

That’s why I made an option for you to download much smaller archive with re-encoded videos.

They still look pretty good at bitrate of 5~6 MBit/sec. You can download this sample and compare:

Mirror 1: Anonfiles
Mirror 2: Zippyshare
Mirror 3: Pixeldrain
Mirror 4: Multiupload

If you don’t like the quality of re-encoded files, get original ones. Remember – the choice is always yours, not mine 😉

You can skip downloading of files you don’t need. Don’t download both video packs at the same time, choose one only. Here is the list of selective files:

• fg-selective-english-speech.bin (English voiceovers)
• fg-selective-japanese-speech.bin (Japanese voiceovers – make sure you have installed the pack before switching to Japanese in game settings)
• fg-selective-videos-original.bin (Original videos, 1600×904, 30 Mbps)
• fg-selective-videos-recoded.bin (Re-encoded videos, 1600×904, ~5-6 Mbps)

In example, if you want to launch the game with English UI/Subtitles/Voiceovers and re-encoded videos – skip all “selective” files, but download fg-selective-videos-recoded.bin, fg-selective-english-speech.bin & all main files (01-09).

This repack is NOT backwards compatible with my previous NieR Automata repack.
