Spoilers for New Game+ content: although it's not really explicitly stated, it is strongly implied (and confirmed in production materials and interviews) that Kaine is a hermaphrodite.

What he said. She identifies as female and dresses like that to really drive home "hey, I'm a girl."

If you don't read any of these spoilers (which you shouldn't until you get ending B anyway) just know that yes, there is a reason.

The "beat such and such within 1min30" trophies - are those best to be left for a second playthrough? Does your strength / weapons carry over?

Do it on the third because you don't want to skipp cutscenes in the second playthrough. Also there is alot to read at the start.

And yes level and weapons carry over.

How about a Drakengard 1 + Drakengard 2 fan thing (I did not make it) while we're waiting. Violent, but not nearly as violent as Drak 3 is going to be.

I'm almost done Nier, and I own Drakengard but have yet to play it. If I fire up Drakengard after I beat Nier, is there any point to doing this? Is there anything from Nier that I will know referencing Drakengard?

Just wondering if its good to play them close together as to better remember the references. Btw the Drakengard I own is still sealed.

Nier is actually a sequel to Drakengard's Ending E. Also the last weapon you get in the game, the lance in Shadowlord's Castle, references Drakengard. That's pretty much it for what I recall. Honestly I'd suggest to just read Dark Id's LP instead because while the story is worth experiencing the game just sounds like an utter chore to play, especially if you want to get all the endings.

There is a single direct reference to Drakengard in Nier, and it's very clipped. Also some of the weapons you might recognize. That's about it.

Maybe I just haven't progressed far enough but I get killed pretty quickly in the dlc. And frequently.

Are there any differences between the xbox and ps3 versions? Google hasn't much to say and for some reason I only ever see the game used in the wild for xbox.

The DLC is for, like, NG+ characters only.

The XBox version has a custom save screen, but that's about it.

All of the weapons reference Drakengard, but they're not all obvious about it. Some of it is just covered in the supplementary material people translated.

This hand of mine shines and roars! It's bright cry tells me to grasp victory!

The entire intro part references it doesn't it?

The whole war against the unkillable ash monsters being caused the end boss of drakengard being vaporized over Tokyo is why Nier is wandering around apocalyptic ruins. Nier is like 100% dependent on the E ending as it literally sets up everything.

I'm still looking forward to that game idea the cavia guys talked about ages ago where you play as a squad in the first year of the aftermath of ending E in Tokyo. Want that to be made so bad.

Also, more manga:
Oh boy.

After One saves the two women from the loincloth dude, and passes out due to injury, Nero turns up, hoists One over his shoulder and the two women take them to some part of the castle (an infirmary?) to recover. The women talk while Nero just sits in the corner, next to One's bed, and smirks at them. They then force Nero out of the room to give One a bed bath, only to run out screaming when they find out that...


One has pecs. No idea if she has a dick. Nero casually strolls out of the window, until he is called back by one of the women, who...berates him possibly? Then she starts talking lovingly about the Lord of the castle...


Then something unexpected happens. :allears:





Caim comes into the room, glances at no-tits, decides, "Whatevs", talks calmly to Nero and says something to make him shut up (for once), then strolls out of the room like a playa. The chapter ends with Nero talking under his breath.



I'm ready!

Well, not all the weapons, but all the weapons that change form as you upgrade them. Kinda lazy since all of those (and their transformations) were taken wholesale from Drakengard, but oh well.

Drakengard 3 is actually the canonical continuation of Bullet Witch's alternate timeline that was only unlocked if you 100%ed its achievements.

Oh wow. They're pulling out all the stops, aren't they? I thought they'd reached the limit with BroNier's "I was sold my pre-teen body to a creep, to pay for Yonah's medicine", and Kaine's whole backstory, but they continue to keep pushing it further and further.

This felt more like a parody of a unnecessarily grim/dark story than an actually good one.
Then again, that's pretty much how Drakengard always has been.

Play Nier again from the completed save to see ending B first. It is essentially mandatory for the full Nier experience and it goes fast.
