And Drakengard itself is the sequel to Drakengard 3's first ending. And Drakengard 2 is a different sequel that takes place in an alternate timeline where Drakengard 1's first ending happened and oh dear I've gone cross-eyed.
So they went with the Zelda-style School of Continuity?
I liked Drakengard, and I liked Nier, so... I dunno. This game sounds weird, but awesome. I love shitty Japanese games, though, so I may be a bit biased. However, I will say that I don't like being forced to finish a game multiple times in order to get some kind of extra story out of it. I don't mind a "true ending" of sorts being locked behind a cavalcade of being at the right place at the right time, like Dark Souls III's Usurpation of Fire ending, but I'm not a fan of having to go back through a game several times because I rarely play through a game more than twice.
