This might be a hot take, but i find Papa Nier (Gestalt) more relatable than Brother Nier (Replicant).

In the sense that I can better accept the idea of a Man condemning all of humanity to extinction without any remorse if it's to save his daughter rather than if it were to save his sister..

Idk why, maybe that is why they decided to launch Gestalt to the west. And for me this is stronger on the endgame after Nier discovers the truth about shades and humanity. I can understand that a 40 year old man whose entire world is her daughter might not care or be affected by this. But Replicant Nier should be affected by the destruction of his reality; I would've liked to see some introspection or internal debate at the very least.

I'm not saying Nier from Replicant is bad, just that this particular aspect is better with him as an adult.
