Nier is the game that will make you permanently distrust reviews.
For example, rather than the RPG protagonist being a mopey teenage kid, he's Gary Busey. The game is worth playing just for that.
When I hear aliens I think of martians but I'm assuming that's not the case here.
Drakengard 3 spoilers below:
More like entities that come from whatever created theflower? I still have to beat the final boss so I don't know what's shown after that.

By the way, for first time players, here's how you handle side quests for Nier.
Basically, if you don't want to do them for story purposes, don't. The game is incredibly easy. You don't have to do any of them. It's not like Xenoblade. So many reviewers ripped on the game for the side quests. They should be considered bonus material.
"For this new Nier, we kept an action RPG mindset and thought, this time we want to hit out a great, high-level JRPG, so we're going to stick to one character design," Saito added.
"Platinum is great at creating action games, and we've asked them to make things a little more simplified, slightly. At first I thought it was going to be a battle-heavy action game, but luckily for us, a lot of Platinum Games' staff members really respect Nier and took it to heart, and understand the project.
"We're really fortunate in that they essentially took the battle system and the game design of the original Nier and added Platinum Games-type elements on top of it to make this hybrid if you will. It's not like it's a completely new game, they really have respect for the previous game."
"Drakengard was my first game as director, and we were actually told a lot by our advisory board to do retakes and make changes and honestly, I said, screw this, I'm not making another one," Taro said.
"I thought, with Nier, I'm going to make a normal game. That's what I tried to make, a normal game, though people think it's very dark and somber. But for me, that's normal."
He added: "The way I look at original Nier is like your mom's home cooking: it may not be the best, but it's okay, you're comfortable with it. Members of the media told me the original Nier is like a puppy someone threw out. It's cute in a way, but there's something wrong in a sense, and you can't help but love it even though there's something missing and you can't put your finger on it.
"But now we're working with Platinum games, and with Yoshida and Okabe, and we feel we have these great ingredients now. Is it going to be too perfect? We have all these great chefs, if you will, working together, and now, is it going to be missing that thing that made it so endearing to our fans? But after thinking about it, we think, we're just going to try it and see how it goes."
"Please play on PlayStation 4," he said in response to a question about what Xbox players can expect.
"We are going to maintain that multiple playthrough idea for the new project, but in terms of the save file deletion thing, we probably won't do it, since we did it in the original one and want to do new things," Taro explained. "But we will have multiple playthroughs involved. But you know... we're still in early phases of development. Maybe we will delete you save files."
The new Nier will, however, retain the tone of the original game and the Drakengard series. It will keep its mature subject matter and approach to dialogue and presentation, not shying away from hyper-violence and sexualization.

Action RPG mindset, praises be. I always wanted Platinum to work on an action RPG.
THIS!
I ALWAYS wanted an action RPG from Platinum. Super excited for this.
P.S: Reading those spoilers, what the hell is Nier about? haha. It has to be one of the weirdest stories ever.
P.P.S: Any chance of a remaster of the first one? I didn't play it Are there any sources that explain the story and the lore?
Looks cool, but I don't really like the outfit for the character in the trailer. I have no idea about this game so I'm speaking pretty ignorantly, but playing as a girl in a poofy skirt and an outfit that looks like it's from the early 1900s just isn't badass even if the game is great. Give her a combat outfit or something.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is the 360 version the one to go for with the first Nier? I have both consoles, but I know multiplat games of that era were often pretty rough on PS3, and it seems like 360 copies are about half the price on Ebay anyway.
I've always heard good things about Nier, but now that Platinum's doing the sequel it's shot to the top of my must-play list.

Your flow chart could be equally valid for Xenoblade...
I have the urge to post this again,
Non specific alien menace
One of my gripes with Yoko Taro's work is the reliance on outside material for exposition that should have been in the games in one form or another. Do I really need to read a manga about the Utahime Five to understand who the hell the guy with the X on his forehead was that gets killed in the beginning of Drakengard 3?
Though some of the stuff was cool, like the Children's Crusade, Wall of Jericho, and the audio CDs. Some of the stuff gets unusual, like the audio entry on one of the audio drama CDs where Kaine has sex with the corpse of a young boy.
Aw man, Emil's theme with just the vocals is so good: https://youtu.be/T8aNJvS58egthis song is massively underrated imo. though i think the hammering iron and percussion actually detract from the song (though they add a lot to the thematic feel of it)
the synth part of it is so nice, seriously
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv_0fV2pCrE
(yes this playlist has all the layered parts of the tracks, the game splits them up into percussion, vocals, strings and synth usually since stuff fades in/out based on the situation and whatnot. the individual layers by themselves are so nice, even- see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hisFv1adRJo or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2fPoVGxCTg)
Every time I got stuck in Xenoblade, someone would tell me "Well, you're under leveled, are you doing any sidequests?"

For me it was Godhand.
Yeah I think this announcement more than any others (including Shenmue 3, FF7R, etc.) got me the most excited at this year's E3.
This didn't really set in for me during the conference yesterday... I'm suddenly very hyped!
I didn't finish Nier but I had a love affair with it. One of the best soundtracks of last generation... And had two awesome concept albums too. I listened to those to death in the early 2010s.
And that PlatinumGames comnection. Can't go wrong. I love how the "platinum should do every game" meme turned into the reality of the show, haha.
Anybody notice there was a second character looking at the destroyed city, probably 2 playable characters?
