II's gonna die because she believes something like Magical Anime Friendship Powers actually work outside of the Megaman Battle Network games, isn't she?

Nah, Zero's gonna pull the same trick on her but II's gonna want her to prove it so Zero'll cook some horrendous abomination of a dish and, because she can't cook, it'll come to life and rip her apart like a horde of zombies. I've probably got the tone of it a bit off though.

Well that was anticlimactic. For some reason going in I was expecting that the intoner herself would be the main event boss fight-wise but instead it seems like you fight some kind of bonkers summon and then the intoner just dies like a chump. I have to say I'm not as impressed with Taro Yoko as the rest of the thread seems to be, so far anyway. All we've seen so far is "horrible things happen to horrible people, for reasons nobody bothers to explain."

You need to come into it with the context of Drak 1 and Nier, really.

Its pretty obvious that they're saving the Intoner boss fights for the back end of the game. We're still only on Route A, after all, and there's still routes B through D to fill with content. And christ, we're only on chapter 2 of a minimum 5. There's this thing called 'pacing' you know? Answers will come in due time, even if they haven't come by the time we see the credits for the first time.

All we've seen so far is "horrible things happen to horrible people, for reasons nobody bothers to explain." Read the NIER LP if you want to see some more serious writing from him that's also good. I think goon's in this thread exaggerate how weird these games are but I still think NIER does a lot of interesting thing and has some pretty strong character writing. So far Drakengard 3 seems like its trying to be a black comedy, and for me its working. In a serious story I would hate Zero but as the protagonist of a game that acknowledges just how ridiculous it is she works pretty well. Momomo posted:"Horrible things happen to horrible people" is literally Drakengard, though. Well yes, and that's one of the reasons why Drakengard 1 is a bad game.

I don't think anyone liked Drakengard because it was well written. I liked it because everything was so hilariously over the top and grim that it ended up being funny. This game is a bit different (you're expected to sympathize a bit more with pretty much everyone), but it doesn't forget its roots.

Drakengard looked like a loving nightmare to actually play, but holy sweet christ every time you thought it couldn't get more ridiculous. Although 3 looks like it's legitimately fun even aside from the goofy plot

It's a pull-cord. When you pull it, she calls you a loving rear end in a top hat.

Yes, everyone gets a story. And regarding control, again, never stated in game, but Zero doesn't use mind control on the disciples. They follow her because they want to and they're all their own selves.

The point is he's not being magically mind controlled like he was when he was serving Four. He might be following Zero out of pure terror but that's his terror, not implanted in him via magical intoner shenanigans.

D3 Cash grinding was nowhere near as tedious as Nier's RNG mmo bullshit, even without the DLC. Seriously, had I not gotten the DLC I might have killed myself(not just ingame) hunting for those drat eagle eggs. And let's not get started on the bracelet and earrings that the weapons just had to have.
