Pretty solid game. Do not play it on Hard however, it's the bad kind of hard where enemies have massive HP and nothing else.

Is there more to the quest with the lighthouse lady? I did the initial introduction quest in the first half of the game, but when I came back to Seaside in part 2 some people were saying she left and other people were saying she was dead. Plus the Mermaid Tear quest had a resolution option to "bury it next to her grave." Did I miss some stuff? You guys were going on a lot about how awesome that particular line was...

Just got ending A. Pretty interesting game overall, if very weird. I'm happy I checked it out in the end though, but I do hope that I'll get more backstory on Weiss and Noir in the second playthrough.

Anyone have the lyrics transcribed for the ending song sitting around somewhere? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWlCK11qEBg&feature=PlayList&p=99F110C8257BC884&playnext_from=PL&index=21&playnext=5

So not to turn this into a Drakengard thread, but I never actually played those games because I heard they were quite sub-par. Should I actually look into finding a copy of them to play through?

Just finished Ending B. I'm really satisfied with my experience with this game, flaws and all. The fact that I can only recommend the game to friends with many caveats makes me sad, as what they do well here they do *really* well. I ended up watching ending C and D on youtube, though in retrospect since I didn't know how close I was to finding all of the weapons I somewhat regret it. Maybe I'll spend the last three hours necessary to get those final endings myself; I was really moved by them. Any word on how this game is selling? I don't know how easy it'd be to make another game in this setting, but I'd love to see Cavia make more games like this. We need more like this.

I couldn't find a transcription of it anywhere, so I thought I'd write out the lyrics to the only english song in the game, Ashes of Dreams (the credits song). Enjoy!Ashes of Dreams posted:Once there were trees full of birds I don't think it's a perfect transcription as there were a few things that I couldn't hear properly, but I think it's fairly close.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Yeah if a brother cared about his sister to this degree it would be creepy. Yeah. I can understand a father who lost his wife and only has a single daughter being like "I'll kill anyone and do anything to save her." A brother with the same characterization wouldn't feel as real in my view, though in the context of the story presented here I suppose it could still work from a different angle.

Can someone explain to me a bit more what the terms "Originals" and "Original" mean? I presume the "Original" refers to ???? who turned into the Shadowlord, but what was special about his Gestalt process?

Policenaut posted:Can someone go back and read the Project Gestalt memos you get at the end of the game somewhere? I swear it mentions that there are other "Overseers" like Popola and Devola and if there are then that just furthers the idea that there are multiple Replicant fabrication facilities like the one in the Forest of Myth (mentioned in Ending E's "The Lost World" segment) Wait what? there are multiple things here that don't make sense. Where was it mentioned that the Replicants came from the Forest of Myth? Also, what is Ending E?.

Rondo posted:I loved this game, it's the most I've been sucked into a game's atmosphere in ages. As soon as I finished up all the endings and read about the Drakengard connections I wiped the dust off the ps2. After the week long grind to get the final ending to it I can say it was well worth it for the insane story and to see how it's connected to Nier. It's a shame the director of the first wasn't involved in Drakengard 2, at least as far as I can tell, there's not even as much as a wikipedia entry for Taro Yoko. It sounds like it'd be worth a shot if only for what I've heard about it having an interesting soundtrack. I wish I could find Taro Yoko's email address. I'd love to send him some fan mail.

I could be wrong, but either way it doesn't detract from the piece. It's done by the same artist who did this one - I think these were both promotional pieces used in full page magazine spreads.

Azure_Horizon posted:I still don't see this as bad design. It's there. Whether or not you see it isn't really the game's fault, especially when they make it obvious. It's pretty bad design. As I recall, the NPC talks about fishing a fish out of the ocean. The closest beach to him is not the beach you need to fish at. Furthermore, it's not clear why the other beach would be fundamentally different given its proximity. Misunderstanding this step in the quest chain is incredibly easy and no fault of the player in my view.

NonsenseWords posted:I'm kind of under the assumption the ambiguity is part of the English script's fault. I don't know Japanese, but it might be that the RepliCant version has more explicit or specific instructions and English just got translated as 'go to the beach', which doesn't seem like a major issue until you realize that, well... two beaches. Whoops. Not game destroying no, but I do know a reasonably large number of people who stopped playing here as a result. The fishing minigame itself is also just really annoying, so fishing 30 times in a row and then not getting the item you need to progress the main plot is really rough.

NonsenseWords posted:Now that's definitely subjective. I actually found fishing pretty easy and fairly relaxing-- a lot simpler and more pleasant than most fishing minigames out there, too. Although I imagine it leaves a bad taste if all of your experience comes from trying to fish in the wrong spot. Well, I don't particularly want to do a mechanical breakdown of the minigame, but suffice it to say the explanation of what you're supposed to do and the animation/visual cues don't immediately line up as you would expect, making it more annoying than it should be. In aggregate is it less annoying than, say, the Breath of Fire 2 one? Definitely. It's no Deadly Premonitions fishing though.

feraltennisprodigy posted:Didn't have any trouble figuring out the fishing minigame (where to go and how to do it), but I never bothered doing any more of it after the obligatory quest because it sucked. The rest of the game is in fact sweet. It's probably my favorite story in a video game outside of Planescape: Torment.
