Props to Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito for playing along and not spillin a drat thing through all this. Even if it isn't some weird rear end viral campaign hinting at a sequel or a remake, I imagine some cool model tools is gonna lead to so neat NieR content in the future.

This was truly the perfect game to do this for because the Drakengard/Nier community's brains have been destroyed by Yoko Taro abuse and they will believe absolutely anything if it means there's a chance they'll get more. I enjoyed it.

Indeed, though I still hope we get a new game in the franchise eventually though (that said, I’m curious if a potential Drakengard 4 would take place after 3 or 2) On that note, how’s the mobile game Nier Resurrection out of curiosity?

The story of the main campaign is kinda cool, and the music is on par with what you'd expect from something with Nier in the name. worth checking out for free, but you're safe to put it away as soon as you start getting sick of it, it doesn't do anything particularly different from the rest of the genre apart from look and sound great and have some good writing now and then.

I feel like they'd want to include the Nier name on any future project, but there's no reason it couldn't include Drakengard elements.

Also the gacha is incredibly rear end where you need dupes of characters to increase their level cap, and when I played they were stupidly stingy with the generic SSR level cap items. Like, I got in at launch and had 2B, 9S, and A2. None of them were close to max level by the time I quit several months later.

I played the Rein beta and liked it enough but when the main game launched I lost all the progress I made. Didn't really care about the character pulls but I didn't really want to start over from the beginning. A lot of the bits of lore and story seem pretty neat but with it being a gacha game I'm a little reluctant to try and get back in to it despite kind of wanting to

The Drakengard 3 guide/artbook has some short stories set in an alternate timeline that goes off of Ending A, known as Drakengard 1.3.

What's the consensus on the Voice of Card games? Someone said they're basically VNs with a card aesthetic that gives it a slight amount of game characteristics.

I thought the first one was fine, interesting writing and characters, but the combat is so braindead easy that it seriously brought the experience down for me.

Honestly that's about what I'd say about Nier Reincarnation and SinoAlice, too. A bit concerning to learn it's not just a mobile game thing. I've never played Drakengard, is it incredibly boring to play too? D:

For a card game the demo didn't feel like there were any deckbuilding aspects at all, the cards were just a way of presenting menu options. From what I hear that didn't get any better in the full version.

Drakengard 1 is mind numbing as gently caress to play, but makes up for it with it's batshit soundtrack and story. D2 I have no idea but it's supposedly just boring in every way. D3 could be fun to play on a PS3 if it ran higher than 15ish fps. I played it on RPCS3 with the 60fps patch and it was ok. Story/characters in that are pretty funny but YMMV on how much you like just constant sex jokes.

I also prefer normal turn-based RPGs to deckbuilders but there is literally no reason for it to be cards then. Pretty sure it's just so they don't need to do any animations.

That’s exactly what it is. It’s just a novel way to produce a JRPG on a shoestring budget with a very quick turnaround.

SE released that dungeon game that's one step removed from using ASCII characters around the same time so they needed a different low budget aesthetic I guess.

Drakengard 1 is a satire on Dynasty Warriors. It's probably not supposed to be fun to play, unless you find the horrifying amounts of mass murder Caim engages in fun for its own sake. But maybe they just made it badly too.

Gameplay wise I’d say 3 is probably the best in that particular series (I believe they implemented a few of Nier’s mechanics into it as well) Speaking of, the Drakengard series never got any sort of rerelease for modern consoles did it (or even a PSNow addition for that matter)?

I actually got my hands on and played through Drakengard 3 a few years ago, and yeah, it definitely has some influence from Nier in terms of mechanics. There's a lot more to the gameplay than Drakengard 1, which I believe had a whopping 4 hit combo for most weapons, and most of that combo was locked behind upgrading the weapon. Not that Drakengard 3 doesn't get repetitive, because it absolutely does, especially if you're trying to unlock the route for the final ending.

Was Drakengard 2’s combat any better than 1’s for that matter? I only ever experienced the game personally via The Dark Id’s LP of it a while back?

Drakengard 2 is probably the worst game I've ever played through. The combat is apparently "better" than the first game, but masking X and occasionally using a special move against thousands of enemies with no other gimmick was total garbage. Drakengard 3 was a game that's hard to really describe. In some ways I actually prefer it to Automata in both combat and story, but it is definitely a much shakier game as an entire package. Also playing it at any FPS higher than like 20 is just not Drakengard 3, so I don't think it should be ported.
