Once you hear all the way these stories are connected you’ll see why Yoko Taro is a fukking genius/psycho.
Drakengard 2 STAYS getting shyt on. It's sad too because that's the one I started with.
Even crazier is how SinoAlice is apparently tied to this as well. And knowing how that works... Nier Reincarnation is also going to be tied into the universe in some way too.
Man, they've gotta bring the Drakengard series to PS5. Drakengard could be the next major IP that everyone looks out for like FF and Persona. As it stands, people know about it, but most people think Automata is the first game in the series and not a sequel (understandably so since for the most part, it's distant from the original Nier). The music that comes from this series is GOAT, I'm thinking about copping the Blu-Ray concert for Automata as a matter of fact.
