[QUOTE=Sift;51648439]In this order: Look up/read a synopsis on Drakengard 3's ending D Look up/read a synopsis on Drakengard but focus on ending E Look up/read all of [url=http://lparchive.org/NIER/]Nier[/url] (It looks like a lot but it's worth it) This is where it gets odd(er). There was a Japanese stage play that's considered 100% canon that connects the story of Nier and Automata. It's [i][b]insanely important[/i][/b] to what's going on in the plot if you don't want to go in blind. Just ask someone (like me!) for details and I'll gladly type up a outline of what happened. Nier Automata's trailers have shown previous characters returning and some stuff from that stage play so it's a good idea to catch up, at least a little bit. If someone asks though I'll make a biiiiiiiiig NieR timeline synopsis though as I love the hell out of that game and whatnot.[/QUOTE] Nier stood on its own fine as someone who never played drakenguard, you probably don't really need the drakenguard stuff for automata either.
[QUOTE=Crimor;51653916]Nier stood on its own fine as someone who never played drakenguard, you probably don't really need the drakenguard stuff for automata either.[/QUOTE] All knowing about Drakengard / Drag-On Dragoon does is give context for [sp]the origin of the virus that killed humanity and caused Nier to happen in the first place.[/sp] While that sounds like a big deal, it's pretty much an aside note and never dwelled on at all in the plot itself.
[QUOTE=Crimor;51653916]Nier stood on its own fine as someone who never played drakenguard, you probably don't really need the drakenguard stuff for automata either.[/QUOTE] NieR on it's own is fine, there's a few cheeky references to Drakengard 1 but NieR: Automata has direct ties to Drakengard 1 and 3 to the point the story cannot work unless you know about the events and the stage play. Examples being [sp]The Watchers from Drakengard are confirmed to be in the game, Mother Song from Drakengard 3 is what kicked off the alien machine invasion, two of the NPC's have red eyes like the Watchers and more.[/sp] The stageplay on paper reads like a bizarre fanfic when you hear about it but it sets up the plot to Automata and I dunno if there will be some kind of recap or not. NieR spoilers and more follow. [sp]Mothers Song at the end of Drakengard 3 gets picked up by aliens and it sends them hurtling to Earth after all this time. Replicants and Gestalts are fighting and shit when suddenly Aliens attack and begin wiping them out- though as Replicants and Gestalts go extinct real true humans begin appearing all over the planet again. Aliens get pissed and start building machines to kill them as well and Humans fuck off to the moon to avoid the slaughter. In order to take back Earth humans begin building androids and dropping them from the moon in a brand new war. Emil is around and has built himself a mecha body to fight with and Beepy has become robo jesus and is trying to instill free will into both the Machines and Androids like Kalil in 1 did for him.[/sp]
