Luthix “I found NieR by accident. An image, a silence, a world that felt familiar before I understood it. Through NieR and Drakengard, I learned to sit with questions instead of answers, to accept cycles, loss, and fragile beauty. The music carried me through years of becoming myself. These stories shaped how I endure, how I feel, and how I live. Thank you for a world that trusted me to feel deeply, even when it hurt. DrakeNieR made me realize how beautiful this world is. Thank you.” Philippines
