Wat. I thought they'd pretty much killed this one.

Everyone did.

Nier's grown quite the cult following over these last years. Didn't know the base series was so popular though.

I'm just waiting for The Dark Id's LP of it.

I wonder from which ending does this start from.

And yes, can't wait for Dark Id to play this...soon as he gets around to finishing FFX.

I'm pretty sure everyone remembers the Tokyo ending... and playing a fucking music game at the end.

I'm surprised there are actual fans of Drakengard. Hell, I thought I was the only one, especially since I submitted the lyrics to "Grow Wings" on animelyrics all those years ago. Anyway, it appears that Nowe is back, unless that's a new character. I honestly never thought it would've gotten past the first game since each ending is practically an "everyone dies" ending. Hopefully, they'll add good improvements to the gameplay, although it is pretty solid as it is.

I'm more of a Nier fan, but I'm incredibly tempted to go pick up Drakengard 1/2 for the PS2 and play through those just to experience the fucked-up-ness for myself.

I even have the damned Drag-on Dragoon OSTs.
Nier, too.

The game will maintain the series’ trademark high-speed action. Missions in Drakengard 3 mainly consist of land-based battles. However, throughout the game, the player will be alternating between aerial and ground combat.

Once the main characters are completely drenched in blood, the utautai power will activate, boosting the characters' fighting ability to the absolute limit.

Square Enix brought together team members from the Drakengard series and Nier to make Drakengard 3. The PlayStation 3 sequel has Taro Yoko, the director on Nier and Drakengard, as the director and scenario creator for Drakengard 3.


...I... just... what.

To understand my surprise, for those who are unfamiliar with the Cavia pedigree, here's a lovely refresher:

WHAT THE FUCK?! Drakengard LP by The Dark Id
Drakengard 2 LP, also by The Dark Id
NIER LP, still also by The Dark Id (believe it or not, they're related)

...and the ultimate irony is that I was the last poster in that topic. And it was about 2 months ago.

Ah, well. Silly me.

Color me more than mildly surprised.

Here's hoping they've had some time to think about implementing a combat system that doesn't suck, though. As great as it was to see Drakengard viciously tear apart the JRPG cliches, it was a chore to play.

Speaking of Cavia trolling the players, I just found out the requirements for beating Nier completely and getting the fourth ending.

Spoiler: click to toggle

Man, fuck you, Cavia. I'm gonna be juggling some saves for that one.

Actually, it's worse than that. I did some digging...

So yeah.

I'm making backups of the save file and system file before going for ending D.

So, it's getting a Western Release. Why do I hope for an HD Release of Drakengard 1/2 to go with it?

I didn't play the older games, but I am kind of excited about this. The Let's Plays that were linked in here kind of drew my interest, and I'll more than likely pick this up at some point.

Only someone like you who also liked SRW3 would want to play an HD version of Drakengard 1, S3

That's a good point. Should just pick them up instead.

More details for the game.

Quote:
 
Drakengard 3, which stars a woman named Zero who runs through her world with an odd boyish-looking guy named Dito. Dito "likes to watch others die," according to series producer Takamasa Shiba. Our heroine can also go through her adventure with one of three companions who are.... ready?..."a conservative 40-year-old man... masochist who likes to be slashed".... "an old man [who is] full of sexual energy"... and "a typical Square Enix RPG character, very handsome, very good-looking, [but] everything he says is wrong." Wikipedia informs me that, according to a translation of a Japanese article about this game, they are there "to accompany Zero to satisfy her sexual wants."

Looks like we're in-line with Drakengard 1 and Nier for the "fucked up characters who are just fucked up beneath it all" quota.

And I can't help but notice that one of the screenshots shows dragons fighting over a ruined modern city. Part of me really wonders if this means we're getting that gap between Drakengard 1 ending E and Nier as a playable segment.
But it's unlikely.
