But wasn't the end of Nier that everything was fucked?
And wasn't Nier a sequel to Drakengard? The ending where everything was fucked.
I'm confused.
Based on what Earth looks like in Nier Automata, I'd say everything is fucked
little spoiler:
drakengard ending E happened, that lead to nier. basically a dragon and some godess fought and the fight tore a hole to other dimension and led them came to tokyo. because of that the humans are fucked and nier happened. after nier, humanity restored, but aliens invaded and in a long drawn out war, nier atomata happened
You should probably keep playing before jumping to conclusions
