So, question for those that have finished both Nier and Drakengard 3. Are Devola and Popola recorders like the one in Drakengard 3? I think they may even have the same voice actress. And if so, what does this imply?

You know what you're getting into with a Cavia/ex-Cavia game. It's a good point; no-one can say that their original games are forgettable. Even if only because you're  ,  , or for a large majority of it. They may be tedious, or shoddily put together, but they keep with you.

And if so, what does this imply? Think of it as the Accords being what would happen if the world of Nier was never affected by Maso, the shades, or the Legion, and had instead carried on as normal, but with the knowledge that poo poo was going down in other branches/universes/whatever. Humanity made them to try to stop poo poo like the Flower, but had themselves not been affected by them in that particular branch. At least, that's my understanding. Yeah, they share the same VA, it's pretty cool foreshadowing of a sorts. --- Regarding difficulties with the final boss: here's the notation from the guide book, if it's of any use. The text is: ♩=ボタンを1分拍ぶん押す, ♪=ボタンを2分の1拍ぶん押す, ♫=ボタンを2分の1拍ぶん2回押す, — =拍休み, ● =, 2分の1拍ぶん休み, ■ = その節はすべて休み Unfortunately, I, er, can't quite make it out properly.  Best I can gather; ♩ = one ring, timed to a single beat of the current tempo, ♪ = (?), ♫ = two rings by half-a-beat? — = a pause, ● = This only appears around "♪"; is that half-a-beat? ■ = No notes.

Can't remember if this has been posted before. Could be of interest to people that understand Japanese, not sure if it will come out in English. It seems like it will cover things like the origin of pacts, disciples, the cult of the watchers etc. but I can only figure out half of it. Could also cover a new route? May as well note its existence anyway. http://www.jp.square-enix.com/dod3/storyside/index.html

Anyone know anything about the non Utahime Five manga? A friend happened by a place selling them apparently, and if it's not as creepy as U5 I might get it for the novelty.

Hey! Long time no post! This is kind of a shot in the dark, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find scans of the World of Drakengard book that came with the Japanese 10th Anniversary Special Edition box? Specifically, scans of the short stories... or, even more specifically than that, the story Prometheus' Flame, which I'd meant to translate before getting sidetracked by a new job/move/life events. Since I sold my own box during a broke period, I don't have a copy of the book anymore, and my own searches are just bringing up scans of the artwork in the book and not the text. Thanks a lot to anyone who can steer me in the right direction! Oh yeah, and I hear Yokoo is hard at work on a new game? I wonder what he has in store for us this time...

Thank you! Somehow I had a feeling you'd come through for me, Pesky Splinter.  On the topic of translations, has someone already covered all the Drakengard 1.3 stuff? That was something I was interested in, but if it's already been translated adequately, I wouldn't want to waste the effort.

It's hard to recommend the dlc. Usually anyone that would be very interested in this game would want to get the final ending, and the DLC helps with that because it's millions of easy gold. If you're going to play this game as long as you can, then youtube the final ending, you can safely skip the DLC.

Eh, the DLC does give some light on the sister's back stories, varying between each DLC of course, but where it really shines is giving more of a spotlight to them in general. It lets us see the personality of each sister more. Two's story is probably the best one though.

To be honest, Two, Four, and Zero's are the only DLCs worth playing unless you loooooove chakrams or lances (One and Five respectively). Three's is just boring with a terrible weapon and you really only need one or two of them to unlock Branch D if you've been diligent about buying weapons. The only reason to play them all is if you've got money to burn or you want to upgrade every weapon in which case godspeed you mad fool.

On one hand, gently caress Drakengard 4 if it comes out. On the other, I hope it does so there's more music to listen to.

I actually recomended someone with no interest whatsoever in games to read specifically your LP of Drakengard and when he was done I dangled Nier like a bait in front of him... Waiting and hoping for the Drakengard 3 LP, playing that ATM. Cheers and where's the link for the kickstarter????

Ok so I've been playing this game on and off for over a year now and I have such a love hate for this game and the last boss is really the embodiment of the whole games frustration and challenge. I really love how it actually is a rhythm game that is on beat though because it lets me practice keeping the beat. Stuff like the rythm game in kh2 which does not frustrate me a lot more even though it's a thousand times easier.

Play by ear. You can literally beat the final battle with your eyes closed. You counter every note two beats after it sounds.

Outside of the ending part which everyone can acknowledge is complete bs, it's not too bad once you stop trying to follow the notes on screen. Try counting to yourself like a metronome in common time. Even the guidebook counts everything in 4/4 time and the notes are all the same length
