Its interesting how the trailers focus on different things.

So yeah. The US trailer med think, "okay, a buttonmasher with cool cinematics and awkward english dub" ; while the UK trailer said, "you know what? this might actually have interesting plot and characters"
In the end, I probably won't bother. Since I'm a completionist I would have two other games to catch up with before it, and I can't be arsed.

The Drakengard (Drag-On Dragoon in Japan) series is nuts. Exploding fairies, 50-foot tall little girls, alternate timelines, mass murdering of children, giant baby heads, naked space mimes, and dimension travel to modern day Tokyo for dance battles are the norm. The Nier spin-off adds save game deletion as part of the storyline, text based adventure, bullet hell battles, fairy tale bosses, and an awesome soundtrack.
I thought this was a neat interview about the Drakengard and Nier games.

I am interested. I just can't not play the other two first.
And that would take too much time...
... I'm a complicated person.

I tried to be a completionist with the Mass Effect series once. I started with the first one, couldn't be assed because it bored me, moved onto 2 and then just switched to 3's multiplayer mode and never went back. I think I sold them all back.
Drakengard 3 is a prequel to the first game, so you can go in with no knowledge of any of the other games. Honestly you could go into NieR without knowing about Drakengard as well...and you don't want to suffer through Drakengard 1 and 2. No really, you don't want to.
