I skipped all discussion relating other games like Drakengard because they have nothing to do with FFXIV and I have absolutely no interest in them. The thought that I need to play 10 other games to understand what is going on in an alliance raid is unacceptable to me.

Frankly having played Nier and Automata and having a passing understanding of drakengard, the plot of the raid series doesn't really make any more sense if you played them. You just pick up on more surface level references.

This. Having thorough knowledge of the Nier and Drakengard games does not help explain what's going on (in usual Yoko Taro fashion), but mostly just gives you theories. It's either going to be spelled out to us within the next 2 weeks, or be left with a vague telling on how it happened. Though judging from how the previous 4 quests had us go through Copied Factory and Puppet's Bunker exploration twice, expect us to get a double dose (somehow) of Paradigm's Breach that will explain it.
