And when he says the companions seems saner, one is an anime pretty boy that looks like a normal j-rpg hero, yet is a sadist, another one seems to have a masochistic streak large enough to look like he has sewed a zipper on his stomach. And an old man that's apparently the horniest of them all.

Oh what the gently caress. Just... what the gently caress? There was some of you jokers who called it, even. I just realized something: In the images, the city is ruined and covered in white stuff. Does that means it takes places in Nier's universe? Possibly after the game is over? Which means that this world get hosed the same way again?

I think there was fanart of this in TDI's Let's Play, with the caption "You shits have no idea of the price I had to pay".

dazat posted:You're right, according to the drama CD Tyrann himself was a corrupt soldier who due to his shenanigans was kicked out of the military and forbidden from registering for the whole Gestalt/Replicant thing. He cheated his way in anyway and got made into a Gestalt, but the officials realized and responded by destroying his Replicant, which is why he possesses people as a shade. But in the 10th Anniversary Material book, the official timeline links all three games together; so basically modern Tokyo is not another dimension but rather the distant future from Caim and Angelus' standpoint. Basically history as we know it takes a detour in the middle ages starting with the events of Drakengard 3 but gets back on track after Nowe demolishes the Goddess system in Drakengard 2. That's why it makes sense that Tyrann should have an ancestor dating back to medieval times. Every time I think those games can't be more complicated and farfetched, Yoko Taro delivers.

Gameplay is... well, actually pretty decent. Nothing really outstanding, but it does the job well. The plot, writing and voice acting are mostly top notch. The only real glaring flaw is that the game's sidequests are of the Cavia School of gently caress You And All You Stand For (tm). Don't do a sidequest if it feels like a pain in the rear end, it probably is.

Am I alone in finding this timeline pretty ridiculous, even for Cavia? I mean, a neat thing in Nier was that our world was basically hosed because it was brutally exposed to Drakengard's world's magic. Now it turns out to be one and the same, except magic was apparently a thing for a while, and that, despte the complete destruction of Europe in the eleventh century, history is back on track by 2003. Couldn't they just leave it "it's a parallele world"?

Well, a good thing they did is that they discarded all pretense that Nowe and Manah are anything but... well, not exactly villains, but doing the worst thing they could do in their life in Drakengard 2. Write them as colossal tools but willing to atone and they get a lot more sympathetic.

That's it, apparently. Brother One goes on to creates what is later known as the Cult of the Watchers, and that only happens in ending A, so it's the olny one that can lead to Drakengard 1.

Well, yeah, except there is a bit in that novella where she admits when confronted by a victim that she doesn't really know why she kills, but she just does because that's the only thing she knows.

BioMe posted:EDIT: I mean a serial killer using prostitution to look for victims maybe, but of course it's gotta involve rape too. Err, what? Did you even read it? She mentions becoming a brigand after running away from the brothel she was sold to, not using prostitution to lure victims. And I don't think she even mention being raped. She was caught by other brigands who tried to sell her back to a brothel before she murdered them all.

BioMe posted:No I didn't because it sounds loving terrible. Oh, it's not great, though it does shed a bit of light over Zero's character, especially those aspects of her you seems to be overly riled about. And it's always a plus to actually know what you are talking about, instead of ranting about things that don't exist?

And what is your point here? Don't read it if you are not interested or don't like the tone, but what is the problem with using it when talking about Zero when it's telling the story of her life? I can understand not liking that important things like how hosed up her life was before the game are barely mentioned in the game proper, but it's still as much as an official source as it gets. Oh, well, I'm done talking about that, though. e: V Err, I'm not angry? Sorry if you thought so. And regarding the novela, it's a lot tamer than what you think it is. There are no details of anything really sordid. it's pretty dark, granted, but not overly so. Iceclaw fucked around with this message at 19:19 on May 30, 2014 |

Monomythian posted:Also now that I have finished this I can have a good bitch with everything wrong with this game. Regarding your first point, why does she needs a dragon to kill herself? Because trying to off herself would lead to the final boss of branch D: The Flower steps in to prevent it. I guess your mileage vary regarding Accord. It's not like having multiple dimensions is a novel idea in video games. Finally, Michael does not need to eat the Intoners, he's just led to, because Dragons pretty much instinctly oppose what the Flower is, as seen in both previous games. However, I agree that dying at 0 life might be a gampleplay mechanic, it contradicts the story. Maybe they should have gone with a Soul Reaver or Dark Souls things of respawning somewhere else with replenished ennemies.

Momomo posted:Her getting killed by a dragon is a bit arbitrary, but I don't feel like they contradicted it (in the story at least, not in gameplay). In Ending A she's killed by One's brother using her own sword, which is made from a dragon's tooth and counts. The reason she can't kill herself is because the flower intervenes and doesn't let her. I guess she didn't turn in Branch B because she only does so if the flower feels she's going to try to kill herself. She didn't, because she knew that with Mikhail dead, it would just doom the world, and so the Flower let her be.

Seriously? Oh god, does Taro Yoko ever relent in his nihilism? Do you have a link to a translation, by the way? e: V It's actually... Not that bad? I mean he mentions coming accross humans and never gives up on trying to make the world a better place, before passing away of old age, which is probably a first in this world?.

Kurui Reiten posted:What makes you think that that's a death from old age? It looks pretty much like he's just been brutally injured, considering the weather is "Fire", and he describes his body as broken. It doesn't seem like a peaceful death at all! Because he mentions holes in his memory and not needing to fight nowaday?
