She's both more entertaining to listen to, has more character development, and has more relatable issues, and is also in love with the protagonist. Kaine is also the reason we get ending E.

A question friend, Nier and Yonah were successful replicants right? Weren't they supposed to be created when the whole pandemic was over and the Legion was destroyed?

So. In short: Girl from a brothel, with a flower instead of an eye kills her sisters and is killed by clone of her own clone/sister, that later gives the beginning to the bloodline, and one of his descendants eventually kicks Godlike being into OUR realm, which causes the disease that turns people into salt, so people come up with an idea of splitting souls from bodies, but it eventually fails. Also, there's this boy Emil, that dies, turns into a puppet, later creates thousands of robots to fight off the alien invaders. WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

Same... so basically only thing that connects is Emil, since I am not sure if I am stupid, she didn't explained it, or there is no actual relative connection between games since Aliens simply showed up, wiped humanity, and end of story? did Emil travel in time? I didn't get that part. From magic and demons, random 360 turn, and boom, to science, robots, androids and aliens, no magic, no demons.................only Emil. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE: I simply read WIKIA about NieR franchise, and I understood it better when I read it there. Now I see what is going on. "Shades are actually the souls of the original humans, who lived until around 2053 (2049 in NieR Gestalt). During Project Gestalt, these souls were separated from their bodies as a way to survive the incurable White Chlorination Syndrome, a deadly contagious disease, which threatened humanity with extinction at that time. These Gestalt forms were meant to be temporary until the threat would eventually disappear from the world by itself. Then the Shades would have been fused with their corresponding living shell, known as Replicants. However, due to a technological defect during the transformation process, the Replicants eventually developed a consciousness of their own and subconsciously rejected their fate as mere shells and as a result the Gestalts lost access to their bodies. Due to the relapse phenomenon Shades could become hostile and aggressive monsters, which are encountered throughout the game. " ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And then there is this description about Nier (Gestalt Brother) "In the end, it is revealed that the Shadowlord is actually the original Nier, who was the player character in the beginning of the game. In the year 2053, 50 years after the incident where the The Dragon and the The Giant appeared in Tokyo, Nier and Yonah (as real humans) were trapped in Shinjuku district when its lock down commenced. Nier sought help for Yonah's growing disease from a charity organization's center that supposedly handed out food and medicine for the survivors. Instead he, along with 12 other people, received a clone of the Grimoire Noir. The charity was actually a human experimentation site designed to find the "original Gestalt," who can keep his own consciousness even after going through the "Gestalt process." When Nier saw the fellow survivors turn into crazed, relapsed Gestalts, he escaped with Yonah and sought refuge in a supermarket. The relapsed Gestalts found them though and Nier was forced to turn to the black book so he could fight them off. Yonah presumably touched the grimoire to help Nier, but this caused her to start to relapse. During the 1,412 time skip between the prologue and the main game, Nier's soul was separated from his body as part of Project Gestalt and this bodiless shade is later named Shadowlord. Just like the Replicant Nier (the character played as throughout most of the game), Shadowlord's ultimate goal is to not only save his sister, whose soul (or Shade) needs the body of Replicant Yonah, but save humanity (the Shades). As the first sentient Gestalt, the organization behind Project Gestalt offered to put the Gestalt Yonah into hibernation until she could return to her Replicant body in return for Nier (now in his "Shadowlord" form) helping them create stabilized Gestalts. Because of this, all the sentient Shades are linked to Shadowlord and his death would cause them to relapse. In the end, Gestalt Nier realized that the Gestalt Yonah's relapsing couldn't be stopped and he kidnapped the Replicant Yonah to return her to her body. This set to motion the Replicant Nier's quest for vengeance. " ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Like I mentioned about wiped humanity, basically it was meant that humanity was Shades actually, and not Replicants that were acting humans, and when Nier died as Shadowlord, since he was human and conscious Gestalt, unlike other Gestalts that were acting violently, everything was connected to him, and if he died, every Shade or more understandable - Human Souls, will die, humanity will be extinct, and it did went to extinction because Nier died. NieR Automata is just...androids, and robots that seem to have human traits, like emotions and such, are remains of these Gestalts/Human Souls that somehow got uploaded into network, and all robots are connected to network. Here: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "It is revealed in NieR: Automata that as a result of Nier dying, the human race eventually went extinct, due to the Gestalts relapsing and the Replicants dying from either the Black Scrawl or natural causes. This event led to the creation of YoRHa, the operation that would perpetuate the lie that humanity was still alive and on the moon. It is also stated that the machines psychological development was a result of the remnants of Project Gestalt's data being uploaded to the network, including the data of the original Gestalt: Nier.

KH is Xehanort being Aizen somehow and wanting the KH. Everything that happens there, can be resumed to "All according to Xehanort's Keikaku".

TL;DR: There is a universe, with swords and shiet. At some point, a warrior, fighting an evil queen, gets transported to today's Japan (dimensional rift), bringing with them "demonic" particles, that are very hazardous. Then the infected become an army and want to wipe the human race, but are defeated, but that doesn't stop the disease. At some point (2032), humanity decided to separate the body from the soul to avoid infection (and to put themselves to sleep until the disease dissapears or they find a cure), and uses replicants as body in case the actual body is lost from the process. But replicants start becoming sentinent. Something something 2050 Nier sleepy mode 1000 year jump and it's 3288, gestalts wake up and find hostile replicants. Year 4000: Gestalts cease to exist. Year 5000 aliens invade the earth but sometimes they are peaceful sometimes hostile. They use robots as soldiers. The ones in Automata. Year 5600: peace between species. Somewhere in here, machines wipe aliens. 5600-11944: THAT'S A LOT OF WARS. 11944: 14th alien war. Humanity, faced upon extintion, go to live in the moon and make robots. 11944+: Nier Automata

Plus the kh 1 and 2 we got back then wasn't the full version since Japan had the scenes like in kh 2 for Terra's armor before appearing in birth by sleep. Now it isn't really a problem since ps3 (soon PS4 release) have the 1.5 and 2.5 with the full versions and side games in one system and 2.8 on PS4 with DDD and 2 new stories.

evangelion is pretty straight forward though. angels wanna meet with adam the first angel to create third impact. Humanity survived first and second impact (both of which are failed attempts from angels to fuse with adam) but they know they won't survive the third. So by causing a human to fuse with adam (the angel eve split up into a race called humanity), they can cause third impact and safely preserve humanity via using third impact as a reincarnation of humanity. See? not that hard. Only thing that doesn't make a lick of sense is why it had to be the lil shit shinji (though I guess a person raised with knowledge of human self loathing would have a better vision of an idealized humanity-except the lil shit flakes out and just has everyone reborn flawed as before)

Wonder what Sophie thought of Replicant's remake.... Alas, no way to know with her channel dead.

Lore summary: Giant city rise out of nowhere bringing watchers and dragon. Zero was a child prostitute who contracted an illness and as she dies from it, a flower brings her back to life and grants her intoner powers. Zero freaks out and commit suicide but the flower trying to protect itself splits off from her and creates the other five intoner. Zero sets off to kill all the other intoners but fail and then attempts it again and succeeds but gets killed by intoner One's clone. One' s clone goes off and creates the cult of the watchers and create the seal system to prevent the seed of destruction from falling down to the world, the seals are held together by a chosen goddess. Many years later an empire tries to break all the seals and capture the current goddess Furiae and bring forth the seeds. When the seal breaks the watcher descend on the Earth and Caim with his dragon fights the watcher queen to a parallel world (Tokyo, JP) and defeats her but then gets shot down by fighter jets. As they fall down to tokyo they spread particles they brought from their world over Tokyo. These particle causes chloronation syndrom. Shit happens and the people needs to separate their soul from their decaying body until they are ready to be place in a replicant body when the threat of the syndrome is gone (project gestalt). Android's are now develop to watch over the project to ensure it's success. Nier trying to save his daughter/sister (Yonah) from the syndrom becomes the shadowlord, the person whos genetics is used to keep the project going. Many years later the replicant bodies develope sentients and are no longer following the projects plan. Replicant Nier trying to save HIS Yonah goes on a journey and ends up killing the shadowlord and also ends up sacrificing himself to save Kaine thus destroying project gestalt and ending humanity. Many more years later only Android's are left and automata takes place. I think that's how the lore went.

Yessss, but also a lot of people (including me) think that the timeline will eventually loop because of end content in Nier Automata and the fact that the Cathedral city, which looks like a modern city, appeared out of nowhere in Midgard, just like the Queen Beast appeared randomly in Tokyo. It seems like a city will eventually be transported through time and space and sent "back" to ancient Europe, creating the Midgard timeline, which leads to the Drakengard --> Nier --> Automata timeline, only to loop again.

This video really helped me understand the entire backstory of Nier especially since I hardly knew a thing of the Drakengard stuff. Though I am still confused on one thing. Was there any information on where the humans in Nier Automata came from or who they are? I ask this because I read a translation of the Grimoire Nier and it said something about how humanity was doomed when the "Original Gestalt" was killed off because all Gestalts were then doomed to relapse and die out and Replicants couldn't naturally reproduce, needing Gestalts to regenerate. So how could there still be humans?

What I love most about Yoko Taro's Drakengard/Nier series is that there is such a massively in-depth convoluted history to his worlds, but he doesn't care nor does e particularly want you to put it all together. What Taro want you to focus on is the things that happen in the games, not why it's all happening. The fact that there is all this confusing backstory just reinforces the sense of helplessness and feelings of a much larger uncaring world these characters find themselves in.

From what I understand: - first universe/world = Magic/Knights and a lot of pacts with people. Basically, it's Gods vs Dragons. Events happen, Caim and his dragon follow a portal through to "our world", and Caim destroys a huge giant being that dissolves into the infectious particles that cause "white chlorination syndrome". Which leads to the creation of the Gestalt project (eg, trying to survive the disease). This leads to the absolute destruction of humanity, and aliens find our planet and try to colonize. This leads to Emil cloning himself with magic and fighting back, which leads the aliens to create the living machines AND continues the fight with the "machine wars". The fights lead to the robots themselves gaining sentience and then leads to more trouble...

Don't worry, it's about as easy as trying to explain how Final Fantasy X is a prequel to Final Fantasy 7. Try picking up a few of the games though (they're pretty cheap right now), but note, that all of Nier: Automata takes place like 1000s of years after Drakengard and the original Nier. So it has little to do character wise with any of the games, but lore and history wise, and maybe what some locations and things are I'm sure will be present (just a guess)

Just playing Nier for the first time now and I needed a summary of the story, wasn't aware of the Drakenguard series or how they tied in, it's amazing the different landscapes and stories this series has spanned, truly a treat for somone who has followed the series from it's inception. I wish I had the time to play them all but this video was great to watch to fill in the gaps of not playing the other games. Awesome video and you have an incredibly soothing voice!

googlefish80 The S series is apparently filled with male androids. You surely missed 4S...

Thanks for making it public again!

I've watched other lore videos and this by far has been the easiest to follow, great job!

I remember when I couldn't be arsed to finish it it sucked so much....

So what you're saying is that I should buy all of the Drakengard games and both the Nier games and play them again and again until all of this makes sense?

Thanks for the helpful response! :D Either way, I think that I'm definitely going to get Nier and Automata alone, they just appear so vivid and memorable!

Rw sano nier and drakengard series are different genres so I don't understand what you're trying to convey.

NieR takes place as a sequel to an ending from one of the Drakengard games. NieR: Automata, is then a sequel that takes place thousands of years later. Don't worry: This is normal for Yoko Taro. He's like the Kojima of something or another...

Oh man I'm so glad I can watch these again. I hope your doing well V.

Seriously. Japanese games usually have this complicated and really crazy stories that look like they were created by a 7years old kid. They have everything - robots, lasers, medieval themes, magic, hot chix, flamboyant characters, megazords, viruses, biblical or mythological references, multiverse, time travels, timesplitting etc. I don't understand why only Japanese create such things and rest of the world no.

I'm so glad this is back..❤️

BEST analysis of these games so far, hands down! Also, your voice is awesome. Veeeery calming, and your pronunciation in both English and Japanese is so good. Thank you for posting this!

My thoughts: WTF IS GOING ON, something about child prostitution, killing a god, humans going extinct, project gestalt, androids, and some other shit?

Yoko Taro man. Yoko Taro. (Actually if you play the games and pay attention you will understand most of the story and with books you can understand the full story.)

I love that this video exists
