So as someone who has never played the original games, will I be able to play and understand this? Do we know if it is a standalone story? I loved Nier, so I'm very interested in this game. Well, it definitely looks better than it did in the earlier screenshots (which looked like a PSP game). Now it looks more like an upscaled PS2 games in the gameplay segments.The characters look nice in the cutscenes, though!So as someone who has never played the original games, will I be able to play and understand this?

I don't think so. Rumors are that this is a prequel to the first game and if that's the case then no but you'd be missing on a bizarrely amazing story and events of the first Drakengard. The gameplay can be a pain especially the camera but once you get a dragon to ride, it feels much better. The second game was alright but it lost it's ''charm'' of the first game although the gameplay was much better.
