Cool, thanks!

Off the top , does the MC die at some point? Asking what with DoD3's MC being a girl with a knife and flower in her eye and all.

3 is actually a prequel, and is set nearly 100 years before 1 apparently.

The protagonist of D1 (Caim) does get killed off in the second game though.

DOD3 is set before DOD1 take place, it has little relation with DOD1 and DOD2 but it might help if you skimmed through the story in DOD1 and DOD2 first

DOD1's MC (referred as Caim from now) only seen clearly alive in Ending A (this ending continues into DOD2 where he gets killed too) , his survival is unknown in Ending B and C. In ending D and E, it is pretty clear he died.

For references

DOD1's Ending A --> DOD2
DOD1's Ending E --> Nier

That and she was basically a serial murderer (if you can call her this) during her children-teenager days, and have insanely sex drive (well not only her though, all the sisters are)

.......Prequel?

Well, My mind is officially full of fuck now.

Also Nier is officially part of DoD's timeline? All I knew it as was just simply "that square enix game", that I heard the MC in one of the versions was a hermaphrodite or something along those lines. Never played it to now confused on that too.

Yes, Nier is part of the timeline. 3 actually ties into it a bit as well.

One of the supporting characters in Nier is a hermaphrodite, rather than the MC.

Nier continues from DOD1's E ending, but it's safe to say you shouldn't bother too much with the connection and Nier can be seen as a standalone without any problem

What you hear about MC have different version is the differences about the MC in both the US and JP version

US : you play as a father of the girl
JP : you play as the brother of the girl

So that's how it is. Thanks you two.

And so US version gets manly man being manly, and Japan get Ginga Bishounen.

SquEnix knows how to cater, I'll give them that much.

His life is not shining like a Ginga though, especially if you read the prequel novel of it (which the US version doesn't have)

He got fucked into homo by one guy in his younger days. And he deliciously killed him later hahaha

I didn't know JP Nier was that grimdark, that's kinda amusing.

But I'm amazed by how 3 sounds. I'll definitely grab it. DarkId's LP and NIER endeared me to the franchise. It's just such a shame Drakengard 1 and 2 are awful games gameplay wise with hilarious plots/characters. Otherwise it'd be a shining franchise of shock silly-ness.

Be warned that DOD3 is pretty bad in technical aspects. Bad frame rates, slow loading time, several bugs and freezes. It has enough qualities to remind you into a PS2 game. Still an awesome game though if you're a fan of the franchise

You are not alone.
I'm just disappointed that I still don't have a PS3 and yet I want to play this game.

Also, I'm somewhat amused that the characters are based off...

So that's why they all have unquenchable sex drives.

I really can't wait to dig into this insanity. I did get copies of Drakengard 1 and 2, even . . . should I actually play them or just read the Let's Play? XD

I WANTED to play Drakengard, but then I saw its actual gameplay.

I'd recommend doing both. Ths way, you get raw insanity, lovely snark, and get o know where the hell all the weapons are so you can get those other endings.

Also, that ending is insane. Damn.

I thought for a second Four was voiced by Rie Kugimiya, but she's apparently voiced by Ayane Taketatsu. So that's the little sister from OreImo going fucking crazy.

So bascially the fight goes

LASER FIGHT -> ZERO NEE-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ->TRANS-AM! -> gargle gargle death -> My jacket's so awesome that it never came off despite not actually wearing it.

Sounds about right for Drakengard on the "making sense" level. Meanwhile...

On Twitter, [Drakengard series director Taro Yoko] said he wants to make Drakengard 4 but added that he cannot kickstart the project because Square Enix owns Drakengard. However, he hopes to eventually make a spin-off.

Please let this also spin off of the ending over a ruined Shinjuku if it's made. Maybe a game where we fight against the Red Eyes hinted at in the NieR backstory?

Because I'd love to see what-was-hinted-at-as-a-resurrected-Caim slaughtering everyone.

Oh, nice. Mana's Drakengard 2 outfit was a nice one. Glad to see that one and Eris' outfit being used as DLC outfits.

Also, fuck yeah, adding music from Nier.
