Oxxidation posted:Nier is relatively reserved, honestly. It's quirky, but Yoko never really topped the full-throated lunacy that went down in the first Drakengard. Hell, not even the other two Drakengard games got quite as batshit crazy as the first one did (though 3 probably came the closest). Though to be fair, an army of giant cannibal space babies is kind of hard to top.

Did the original Nier and/or the first two Drakengard games get any supplementary material like that in Japan out of curiosity?

I’ve been out of the loop for a while but has there been any news recently regarding a possible continuation of the Nier or Drakengard franchises out of curiosity? Also do we have a release date for the Automata anime announced a little while back yet?

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?

Ainsley McTree posted:eh. it's an autobattler, if you've played one, you've played this. 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. Is it canon to the main series out of curiosity? And if so, when does it take place?

Sit on my Jace posted:Definitely not 2, Yoko Taro didn't have creative control on that one and it's since been shuffled off into its own little side-canon Huh didn’t know that, though thinking about it I’m not sure what you could do to follow up on 3 either (it doesn’t even fully connect back to 1 for that matter, that was handled in a separate side story from what I understand)

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 forget, does the Nier series also force you to play the game from start to finish in order to get all the endings or can you skip straight to the relevant parts?

Veotax posted:Can't wait for the English dub to not have the actors from the game because whoever gets the rights is just going to use their usual group of local actors rather than making the effort to get the game actors. That’s basically what happened with the TWEWY anime after all (with the exception of one game actor who did return) Speaking of, do we know yet if this is going to be a direct adaptation of the game or more of a side story?

Yeah, considering this appears to be an adaption of the game I’m worried it might be super abridged like the TWEWY anime was (the odds of getting the English cast back for a potential dub might not be guaranteed either). It looks nice at least I forget, were some of the more human like characters like the blue haired girl in the game?

Last Celebration posted:Yeah, I kinda remembered some stuff in the back of my head from the LP but even never having played Resident Evil I appreciated the homage to that. I think the worst part of the fact that it’s strictly a high effort remaster and not a remake is that there’s not an Automata-style B route where you play as Kaine the whole way (and then never touch anything except Route E again) so you can experience the weird stuff again because the Route B+ cutoff is right after most of that. I thought I heard somewhere that the remake adds an extra section at the end where you do play as Kainé at least, is that not the case?

Just watched the premiere, the CG leaves a lot to be desired but the 2D animation is nice and I like that they’re using the OST and VAs from the game (though we’ll see if that still holds true once a dub comes out). Combining Routes A & B makes sense but we’ll see if they go beyond that at all Not something I’d recommend to someone who hasn’t played the game though

What’s the gameplay like? Is it an action game with RPG elements like its console counterparts or more of a turn based thing? Also where does it fall on the series timeline (assuming it’s connected at all)?

pentyne posted:It's a mobile game, so it's real time auto-battle you can control by choosing when to activate the character abilities and special attacks. You can set that to auto too. So pretty much like the Kingdom Hearts mobile game then, makes sense. Is the story mode complete at this point or still in progress? Also are there still weapon stories?

Ainsley McTree posted:I watched an LP and it honestly did look more fun to play than I expected it to be, but it also didn't try to have as many enemies on screen as 1 did, if memory serves. It was more like a devil may cry kind of typical action game than a musou game, wasn't it? From what I remember the combat in 3 is kind of Nier esque (though not quite as smooth) though there are still flying segments like the previous two games

The anime is decent overall and basically seems to be a combination of the first two routes (also all the VAs from the game reprise their roles in both the Japanese and English versions), each episode also ends with a puppet show covering one of the miscellaneous endings of the game
