A retrospective of the NieR and Drakengard series looking at each game individually. With the recent rerelease/remaster/remake of NieR Replicant I wanted to make a video that would act as a nice introduction for those wanting to get into the series, or have only played one of the more recent titles such as NieR: Automata. Yoko Taro is one of the most interesting game directors working today and his games are filled with wonderful and complex themes and a dense lore that will make your head spin. Everything from stage plays to Final Fantasy XIV raids are considered canonical. However, each game stands on its own and delivers its own take on Taro's ideas about the nature of killing. Because of this I've tried to make it as spoiler free as possible. The only exception to this rule, as you'll hear in the video, is the infamous ending E of Drakengard 1, which ties directly into NieR and is extremely important to understanding how the two series connect.
