Words from a person who's never played any of the Souls games... or doesn't read item descriptions.

Even though Souls Games are very indirect with their story there's enough details to piece a story together that actually makes sense in its own world, the same can't be said for the Nier raids, which clash heavily with the world their introduced to, just kind of show up, cause havoc, and leave with very little concern for integration into the existing world and being about spectacle more than anything else.

I guess some comparisons to DS3 with it's "remember DS1" bullshit it likes to throw around (such as Anor Londo, Vinheim suddenly existing again, and Eingyi being remembered after being forgotten) comes close to this, but it at least TRIES to integrate it into the lore of the world its in, rather than having it there for the sake of having it there.
