Since I'm re-reading the LP from the beginning, and saw the line about how Tidus is about one tick above Nowe in Idiot Hero-ness, how would you rate the IQs of main characters you've played?

Reading all these alternate text things...that's what was sorely missing from Drakengard 3! And now I'm imagining that instead of Valefor as her first summon, it was Mikhail.

Something else pretty frickin' huge sneaks it's way into Lake Macalania in the sequel and no one sees it until it's too late to see exactly what it is, just a vague shape. Macalania is apparently the place to go if you don't wanna be noticed

Spoiler'd even though I doubt Id is doing the sequel.

At this point, I think he'll do Drakengard 2-2 involving the further adventures of Nowe before he ever thinks about doing X2. Unless somewhere along the line it involves Mikhail eating him for nearly destroying the world!

Least we don't have Cam Clarke telling us to stay in the shade to restore HP umpteen times. Also, I'd imagine Zero and Auron would get along swimmingly.

It's like every new FF game, they have to do a new drawing for the same creatures. At least in SMT, they keep their fiends with the same designs they've been using since as far back as SMT1!

I also keep hearing of White Chlorination and Red Eye when it comes to Nier. What is that anyway? I know the furthest I got in the Nier LP involved Emil turning into a skullheaded thing or something after the timeskip.

Welp, the Gameplay Trailer for Nier Automata is out. The music sounds like something I'd expect from an Ar Tonelico game. And of course, there's still plenty of bullet hell that the first game had.

I read that in your opinion that while they have a thought out beginning and end with a soggier middle for this game, wasn't that also one of the assumptions made during the Drakengard 3 LP?

Reeeeeeeally wish I knew about those strategies when I was but a boy. Defender X was the biggest roadblock since Evrae and made me outright give up on the game for like eight years.

Yeah, I think I gave up on FFX the first time around there, too. Was this guy a That One Boss to anyone else?

A rhythm game where you defeat demon lords, and having done so, can equip them as outfits for your character (provided you pay the microtransaction fee for each demon lord beyond the first one).

The Man Festival works just as well if you imagine Zero, Cent and Decadus in the roles of Yuri, Anastasia and Joachim. You wouldn't even have to change much of the dialogue.

I'm gonna disagree. Zero I can accept in Yuri's spot, but let's switch Cent and Decadus with Mikhail and Octa. Waitaminute, wasn't Blanca in that scene? In that case, put Dito in that role.

So yeah, this story's about how Nier Automata even started getting worked on. For all we know, our resident Sith Lord may have found himself an apprentice in Yasuhisa Taura. Now we just gotta wait to see if he'll grow strong enough to strike his master down when he's weak.

I had a thought. Considering Hedy Buress, who voices Yuna, also voiced Rosie in Valkyria Chronicles, I'm thinking this. Since Yuna's first Dressphere in FFX-2 is a Gunner and Rosie is a Shocktrooper, what's to say that someone hasn't done fanart of replacing Yuna's Gunner dressphere with Rosie's outfit?

I've had some disturbing thoughts ever since Undertale came out, and this ties into Drakengard 3. Considering that Zero's on a quest to kill her sisters and have Mikhail kill her, not to mention that this involves a lot of altered timelines...I'd hate to wonder if the Flower that was in Zero's eye was Flowey who managed to cross the Barrier! So yeah, if Ending A was the canon timeline, then this is Flowey making sure he's on one huge No Mercy run, and no Sans to stop him!

So what's more bullshit for you, Id? Getting every weapon in the Drakengard series, or FFX's ultimate weapons? I wouldn't mind if someone time traveled and made it so Hymir's Finger was Auron's ultimate weapon.

Maechen was voiced by Dwight Schultz, right? Either way, he's done goofy voices as well as evil voices. For goofy, think Mung Daal from Chowder; For creepy, think Deathshead from Wolfenstein: The New Order.

So, in related stuff to things TDI has played, I've been playing Virtue's Last Reward since Zero Escape 3 is coming out in June. I remembered that three of the characters in that game; Alice, Dio and Zero III are voiced by, well, Zero, Cent and Mikhail. Now who wants to imagine our baby dragon as some snarky dragon pun making AI?
