I can reliably get to the fourth section, but if I get past that, the fifth part just kills me. So close, yet so far.

My first go on that boss will be my favorite thing ever. The utter confusion at what was even happening was magic.

In regards to the final verse... I don't think it's technically TOO difficult. It really does help having a background in music, as subdividing is really helping me. Until I get to One's section anyway, there's a pattern of notes that ALWAYS throws me off. I think I'm hitting two notes in rapid succession but apparently I miss one and fail. This really is something else though.

I've resorted to using the video. I still keep messing up on the 6+1 note and 8 notes How should I be pressing them. I keep mashing square but that gets me killed. So I tried doing it in this fashion XX_XX_XX_XX pausing after every 2 hits, got me through the 1st 8 hit note, but killed me at 6+1 Are there any tips on how to handle those notes? I use 1 button. because I think the problem is I hit them too fast.

And that's Branch D finished. I'll have to write up my thoughts later. For now... I think I'll just savor the silence. Edit: And I've got the Platinum now. I can finally stop playing.  That said... I really think I enjoyed the whole experience, warts and all. Yeah, there's some lovely controls and a lovely camera and other assorted flaws, but in retrospect, they don't really bother me all that much. In a way, I appreciate the game's flaws, because they help strike a nice contrast to the bits I did enjoy. Also, for anyone who's working on the Ruler of the Skies trophy, I found Chapter 5, Verse 1 to be easier than Chapter 2, Verse 6. There's fewer enemies to shoot down, and they're in a more confined area which makes lining up shots easier. C2V6, it always seemed like I'd inevitably miss at least one wyvern out on the edge of a formation with the lock-on function, which would ruin the attempt. W.T.

Alright so how does (for the Ending A route) first chapter of a Verse, translated short story thing, rest of the Verse, Prologue DLC epilogue sound for a format for a LP of the game in a few months?

You should probably hold off on One's DLC until after ending A. It doesn't really spoil the ending, but it deals with brother One.

So, you mean something like (I'll use Four's verse as an example): Chapter 1, Four's Story, remaining chapters, Four's DLC? Probably best to save One's DLC till after Ending A, and Zero's until after the formal introduction of Accord maybe? Or even at the start of B? That the narrative jumps around doesn't make things easy does it? On another note, do you need any artwork from the artbook? I've still got to scan One's stuff, and there's some location art I didn't touch. And things like the map of Not-Europe, and the DrakeNier ending routes charts.

Is the DLC worth it? I got one's DLC through the pre order, but 30 bucks for the DLC seems just a bit too much. I am craving more Drakengard though.

Now I haven't played Zero's DLC but having played the DLC for 1-5 I don't think it's really worth 30 bucks. It's handy for bucket loads of in game cash though.

That sounds reasonable. That said, I think it'd probably be better to hold off on Zero's DLC chapter until after Branch D, Verse 7. It's a fairly long wait, but I think it works best there thematically, since D7 is where we finally learn the truth about the Flower and the Intoners. Since Zero's DLC is about how she met Michael, it makes sense for it to follow from there.

But the rest seem kosher, unless I'm forgetting something.

So in regards to the final battle, is the game implying that Zero ended up being resurrected as the Grotesquerie Queen from the original game? Also, just as a side note this seems to be the only game in the series where the world DOESN'T get hosed up at some point (Well maybe NEIR, but in that case the damage had already been done before the game started).

^ Don't forget in Nier because he killed the Shadowlord it'll cause the rest of humanity(Replicants) to die out and all the shades will go mad. Also notice that he didn't really cure his daughter, just saved her from the shadowlord.

Larryb posted:So in regards to the final battle, is the game implying that Zero ended up being resurrected as the Grotesquerie Queen from the original game? I don't think so. My understanding of the various branch endings is: Branch A - Zero and her sisters all die, Mikhail dies, and Brother One founds the Cult of the Watchers. Manah and Seere are descendants of his. This is the branch that leads to the normal Drakengard timeline (including Nier, since Drakengard Ending A and E are both canon). Branch B - Zero's sisters all die, Zero creates the first Pact to save Mikhail, which somehow infects him with the flower. Not really sure how this one fits in overall, other than it's apparently the origin of Pacts. Branch C - Zero's sisters are all dead, but so is Mikhail. Zero is unable to kill herself and can't find a new dragon to take Mikhail's place, which eventually leads to her succumbing to the flower, transforming into a Grotesquerie Queen and destroying the world. That's why Accord seals this branch off. Branch D - Zero kills her sisters, absorbs their power and begins transforming into a Grotesquerie Queen, but Mikhail is able to defeat her/it/them and seal off the remains in an alternate plane of existence. This creates the Drakengard 1.3 timeline mentioned in the Japanese collector's edition book. TL;DR - No, Zero's not the Grotesquerie Queen from the end of the first game since Mikhail already destroyed her at the end of Branch D.

W.T. Fits posted:I don't think so. My understanding of the various branch endings is: According to the little timeline thing in the Record of Flower, Branch A leads directly into the new Drakengard 1.3 timeline. The other branches aren't shown what they're connected to. It all leads to the world of Nier being hosed over, in any case. Flip what you said A and D connect to and I'd agree with what you said about the branches. Though with that way, you could argue that Zero could still potentially be the Grotesquerie Queen, or, that it's a remnant of what Mikhail sealed away or something, and when the seals were broken, it forced its way through. That's just pure conjecture on my part though. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Jul 1, 2014 |

A short story featuring Mikhail in the timeline after her kills zero talks about how humanity ends up building killer robots and destroying themselves. So, ultimately, humans are still doomed it's just that we end up killing ourselves with robots instead of the intoners wiping us out. Also: Mikhail dies of old age alone and sad.

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?.

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! So, as before, Taro Yoko.

The world is burning down around him. It's the end of everything and nothing he or Zero did or could have done would have stopped it. All they did was prolong humanities suffering before its inevitable demise. Drakengard!

I do want to say that you should buy the dlc if you're insane enough to plat the game. You'll get something like 3 million gold and maybe almost a million dollars worth of base material if you play through it and grab all the gold chests.
