One should play the Drakengard/nier games in reverse publishing order in order to get the most out of them. Like how Bloodborne can be said as to "teach you how to play Souls games", Automata followed by Drakengard 3 followed by Replicant teaches you how to read Drakengard as a metacommentary in a way that conceptually proves "just starting from the first game in the series" is doomed to leave you confused and angry and heartbroken; in this essay I will...

I love stories of non-human entities struggling with their humanity. Monsters, robots, AI, things from beyond the stars, something that was made in the image of man but is very much Not Human.

Learning how to love and be loved. To experience joy and pain. To gain something that is your own. To lose it all and grieve. Are you immortal? How do you view the world from ageless eyes? How do you cope against losing your immortality? Do you cry, lash out, struggle against the night? Do you accept it coldly and embrace the end of your story? To believe in forces that can't be observed. Luck, God, fate? What happens when you die? Are you returned to the earth? Become star dust? Or come back in a different form? Do you refuse to think about it, because to acknowledge it would be to mourn your present self?

What limits are you willing to push yourself for what you love? To lose, to fight, to kill? Did you know of humanity? Did you look down on humans? Revere them? If you are cut, do you bleed?

Were you always under the impression you were human? One day you took a stumble, and inside your arms there were wires. How did you view the concept of yourself? Did you love? What can you call feelings if you have no chemicals in your brain?

Humanity so much is struggling and fear, but it is also magic in the small things and compassion. Have you watched a sunset? Could you comprehend the concept of one?

You may hate and wage war, lose and shed your skin, die by your own hands or kiss your lover one last time. But above all you love, you love, you love.

GNFNFMNNNNMMMM NIER AUTOMATA ON THE BRAIN

[eldritch-elrics]

you got it right on the money with your post. replicant and automata are companion pieces to eachother and are essentially analogies for being haunted by the past. i won't get into details for replicant in case you haven't played that, but automata has similar themes to replicant and tells a bitterweet story through their text. failing their purpose the androids struggle to find purpose after humanity goes extinct, and they find a reason to fight again when the aliens attack. they eventually create the council of humanity and yorha to encourage people to take up the fight, and while having good intentions this lie to perpetuated long after the aliens are defeated purely because they have purpose with it. YoRHa is a very sad, and very human response to loss and grief. which makes the ending with the promise of the characters finding something to live for beyond the ghost of their past, the humans, very sweet. the bunker theme is literally "fortress of lies" and when it gets destroyed the song is called "crumbling lies" its kooky lol

yessss totally!! lol i'm glad my rambling last night was coherent. i love when there are themes :)

also i haven't played replicant yet but i got the remake on sale last week so i will definitely do that sometime! but i need a bit of a break to process automata first lmao

[astrxealis]

i think i'll make my theme prompto
