| I haven't played the game either, but I'm still enjoying this show. |
 |
| Every Nier story they make is slightly different (which is why this is called “Ver 1.1a”). So between the game, anime, LNs, and any other source, the story will differ. If you wanted to experience the game’s version of the story you’d have to play it |
| I'm pretty sure is made to promoting the game. |

| Play the game. Both Nier and Nier Automata. |

| Never played the game, but playing a game is a different thing than watching an anime? I dont think you can compare these experiences. I would just advise you to do what you are in the mood for. |

| what game should i play first. i hear there are many versions, sequels, prequels, drakengard. can anyone give me an order |
EviL_GriN said: the story of nier automata is self contained but there is a long line of games if you want to understand the full world. But overall for automata alone u aren't missing too much it's a good hame to startwhat game should i play first. i hear there are many versions, sequels, prequels, drakengard. can anyone give me an order |
 |
| I did not think Automata was very fun to play, but I would recommend the 1st game since it was never made into an anime. |

EviL_GriN said: what game should i play first. i hear there are many versions, sequels, prequels, drakengard. can anyone give me an order What I would recommend is playing Nier Replicant and Nier Automata, I don't think it matters much which you play first as they're their own games, just set in the same timeline. Although Replicant happens before Automata. I personally played Automata first and still found tons of enjoyment in both. Nier Gestalt, which you might have heard of, is the original Western version of the game Nier. Replicant is the remake that is way closer to the original game so I recommend that one, plus the gameplay is way better, less clunky. The Drakengard games are seriously outdated so you're better off watching lore videos regarding those games, but it's not necessary to play and enjoy the Nier games. |

| Definitely play the game or watch a walkthrough. Some characters are missing in v1.1: there is not Satre or his fangirls for example. Or that phase pen is used in a phrase 'pen is mightier than a sword, meaning unknown.' However watch this too. It is a good anime, much better than many others here. |

| I’d recommend the game. The anime from what I’ve seen is pretty faithful, however there are certain events that just work better in video game form. I can’t say there’s ever been a video game anime adaptation that was better than the game it’s based off of. |

Just pick the one that interests you the most and go from therewhat game should i play first. i hear there are many versions, sequels, prequels, drakengard. can anyone give me an order |
| No, this is a fan product for those who played the game. I don't think the people who are watching and didn't play the game get everything of what's happening in the show. If you want to know more, play the games |
 |
| With the current anime situation, yes, it is better to play the game instead, I am sure. |
 |
| Definitely you should play the game. The game is very unique in its own way, different than the anime, and Yoko Taro even said that the anime will have a different ending than the game, so yeah, play it, the anime can't give you all the fun and depression the game does. |

| Play Nier Replicant then play Nier automata and then watch this. Both are amazing games and you will enjoy this anime way more |
 |
| Late reply but they have some similarities but so far the anime is taking a different approach overall storywise. Taro also said he had to change the ending because Nier Automata's ending can't work in other media outside video games. I recommend Nier Automata (video game) to anyone but no the anime is not a substitute to the game since the two are different already. |
| The game is quite a bit deeper and the anime keeps throwing series easter eggs at the viewers. You really are missing out on a lot not playing lol |
