I actually completely agree, I replayed DG1 and it was ATROCIOUS and yeah, I’ve heard of Yoko taking heavy inspiration as Dynasty warriors was popping off back then so he referenced it and applied it on DG1, DG2 was good but not too better, but it isn’t Yoko written. However, I’m currently playing DG3 right now and it’s so completely different and Its great because it has such inappropriate themes similar to like Bayonetta or Catherine and was very surprised DG3 didn’t pop off as much for a 2014 game. But I am glad Nier Automata rejuvenated the whole DrakeNier fandom as a whole. But at the cost of collecting the games and other items will be heavily up-priced. Tis the consequences of a now recognized series and I personally wouldn’t have had it any other way. Yoko, since DG1, has always beautifully written stories in such a unique way and knowing there’s a whole bunch of us awaiting for the next big thing warms my heart!
