The series has been out for ages, and it's lore, has a couple interesting twists and implications to say the least. This thread is for disscussing the games, the lore and really any related media (that is canon) as so long as it isn't trash.
For those who might be curious, the chronological order of games goes like this:
Drakengard 3
Introduces some newer concepts and important characters while explaining and giving the origins to various concepts mentioned in drakengard.
Story? Set in the early days of midgard, (an alternate version of earth) A whore gets infected with a cosmic horror flower that dooms humanity, but gives her powers beyond comprehension.
Drakengard
This is the actual start of the shared universe for these games, Set up more important concepts that would be reused for nier, a seemingly diffrent game.
Takes place in the later years of midgard. A man makes a pact with a dragon to wipe out his enemies, and to save the world from a group of people who are intent on damaging magical seals that keep the world in balance.
Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139…
Takes place on our earth, after ending E of drakengard, a parody of evangelion, (and ace combat) an ending originally created as a joke. A young boy must find a cure for his sisters disease, and must rid the world of shades, sinister monsters taking the shape of humans.
Nier Automata
Set on earth, ages after the event of nier. Humanity has fled to the moon after space aliens envaded earth, attacking them with horrific, mindless machines. In place of human soldiers, an android army fights for the future of humanity.
