According to the story, Nei is somehow part of Neifirst (having been "sprung off her"). So if Neifirst die, Nei, the part, cannot live. It's really sad they didn't came up with a more logical explanation but I think they only put it in, just in case someone actually managed to kill Neifirst with Nei, something they probably thought improbable. Then again, you are talking to someone who bothered to level up Alis, Myau and Odin enough to defeat the Saccubus in PS1.
So yes, Nei always dies, that's why she levels so fast in comparison to others and has rather limited equipment.
"Rolf, there's no hope for me. If Neifirst is dead, I must die, too."
And in so saying, Nei silently closed her eyes.
