No, you do NOT need to play drakengard, that game series is a prequel that occurs WAY BEFORE Nier it just sets up the world of Nier but its events dont tie into Nier. Check this chart to understand the timeline
Drakengard 3 is a prequel to Drakengard 1 and 2 and then WAY later Nier takes place in ONE of the many endings of Drakengard 2, every drakengard has different endings with different possibilities for the future wich means that Nier is just one of the dozens of possible futures after drakengard 3 (the first game in the timeline). Also Drakengard story is so convoluted that it feels like it doesnt make sense, im not talking about Metal Gear levels of complex story telling but something so weird and hard to understand than even after playing Drakengard 3, 6 times for every one of its endings i still dont know what the f#ck happened at the end... you really dont need to play those games to play Nier, you can treat it as its own independent series. |
Want timeline image in much higher resolution.
Also, Nier is the sequel of the true ending of Drakengard 1, not Drakengard 2.
