Are the announcement trailers usually subtitled Japanese when they plan on doing English VA? I've never noticed, so I assumed here that meant they wouldn't be doing an English dub. No idea though. If we do get one, I really hope it's near Nier-quality.

Some are, the initial trailers for MGS V were spoken Japanese, subtitled in English, but with a guaranteed English release. Hopefully, assuming there will be a dub, SE will let the same company that did Nier on it. Hey, Dazat, can I ask a favour? Feel free to say no - but, with you posting cool translations of the website stories, do you think you could do similar with the (currently untranslated) Nier stories?

I wonder who I have to sacrifice a goat to in order to get a PS3 review copy of Drakengard 3? It sounds absolutely fascinating. Like Nier before it, I doubt it'll be a 'good' game insofar as you can make objective judgements, but I have a feeling it'll be an interesting and worthwhile one.

Siliconera had an interview with the producer of Drakengard 3, long story short: "We at Cavia sucked at making games, so we got Access Games to make DoD 3 for us while we wrote it. As long as Yoko Taro is with us, there will be more Drakengard!" YOU CAN'T ESCAPE. THERE WILL BE MORE.

alcharagia posted:They're not that bad, you big baby. Mechanically it's better than the first Drakengard - more combat variety, Dragon controls better and is integrated into the combat more smoothly, more interesting environments that aren't covered in brown fog, etc. It's the story and atmosphere that's the biggest let down from the first. The first had the feel of "these characters are horrible people, and whatever they do to try to save the world, it's hosed", while the second is "Protag is anime-dragon Jesus and it's all going to be alright  ".

This rush of Drakengard 3 news is so awesome. Was this article posted yet?: http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/9/4821742/drakengard-3-was-developed-with-mature-jrpg-players-in-mind-says It talks about potential censoring and localization. It'll be interesting to see how it's marketed in English, since the Japanese press releases are really flaunting all the sexual themes. It might end up like that Dragon's Crown kerfuffle. From the author's description of how Dito and Zero's dialogue was translated, I'm hoping its Nier-quality. Pesky Splinter posted:Hey, Dazat, can I ask a favour? Feel free to say no - but, with you posting cool translations of the website stories, do you think you could do similar with the (currently untranslated) Nier stories? Sure, I don't mind. Thanks for the scans! I've also always really wanted to translate the drama CD; I wish someone had scans of the booklet...

So, just reading all the info that's been coming out for D3, I'm really....interested in what this game is going to be. But, I've never played the other Drakengard games or NIER. Will this be a problem? Should I play them (or find the LPs) or does this one stand on its own? Also, is the composer for the NIER soundtrack doing this one? I loved NIER's soundtrack and I'm loving the theme that's in the trailer that shows all five sisters.

Will this be a problem? Should I play them (or find the LPs) or does this one stand on its own? The stories of the first Drakengard game and Nier are pretty stand-alone (what happens in one of the endings of Drakengard is the cause for the setting in Nier, but isn't the focus of the story) - Drakengard 2 follows more directly on from one of the endings from Drakengard 1, so while it's possible to understand where it's going, some bits and references will are clearer to understand having played the first. This game is looking to be pretty stand-alone too, (well, from what's been shown thus far), but heavily references stuff from the other games (the goddesses, watchers, etc). I'd recommend not playing Drakengards 1 or 2, but reading the LPs, and playing Nier (and later reading the LP - it's pretty good  ).Here's the link for all three LPs: http://lparchive.org/Drakengard/ http://lparchive.org/Drakengard-2/ http://lparchive.org/NIER/ Yep, same composer is working on this one too - it's the Drakenier dream team  dazat posted:Sure, I don't mind.

I don't have scans of the booklet, sadly, but if you can translate aurally though, someone's uploaded the audiodrama on youtube.

Hey, so, you guys have done a LOT of awesome work w/r/t Drakengard 3 et all. Would it be possible to get it all listed with links and such in a single post so I could put it in the new OP? I've got the Drakengard 3 and Cavia Super Friends (ft. Drakengard 1, 2, RE: Dead Aim, NIER, Catacombs) thread almost ready to go but I'd hate for all your work to go to waste or just link this thread and say "find it."

Interview with Siliconera posted:After producer Takamasa Shiba demoed Drakengard 3, we talked about Zero, the game’s anti-hero who is on a mission to kill her sisters. Siliconera also asked Shiba about editing content in previous Drakengard games and Valkyrie Profile. Connects with Nier, huh...

It seems fitting that both Five and Dito are both terrible people that have just that microscopic possibility of empathy, of course one's terrible for always being happy no matter what anyone else's situation is and one is always annoyed or disgusted, a likely possibility in my mind is that Five is not in as much control of Dito's actions as he says to himself, another thought is that Five might actually be more aware of Dito's true nature than he thinks. Two's story was sweet and all but the possibility that Cent is only acting being in love with her is a tragedy waiting to happen, and even if that's not the case there's always the chance of Two only being convinced that's the case, which would be doubly tragic, at least that's one way to break up the dream team. The fact that apostles seem to be physically incapable of attacking their songstress at least offers an explanation for how Zero can have an apostle like Cent 'on her side', assuming that ownership of an apostle transfers to Zero upon her sister's death. I think having multiple tragic events unfold on screen will do Drakengard 3 some good, considering some of the best writing in Drakengard came from the grimdark weapon descriptions. Besides, failure coming from a person's character flaws is much more palpable then just "Sorry Caim! the sanctuary was destroyed before we could get there, oh well on to the next one!" macfam fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Oct 12, 2013 |
