I mean, seriously.
>Deconstruct the concept of the idiot hero and have him constantly make grievous mistakes.
>Have everyone exploit him for their own ends.
>Gets his idealism fucking SHATTERED as the game goes on.
>Have him not really realize killing is wrong until the end.
>At the end of the game, he looks back on what he's done and basically has a fucking nervous breakdown
Come on, bruv.

What is this? Another jrpg trash?
No way
Yeah they probably could've done better with him like they did with Caim.
...Kinda.
yeah, feels like it's lacking or that deus ex machina thingie that should go on and fighting higher beings. lots of wasted potential and not nearly as depressing as it should.
i like adult mana though, lots of cum were offered
Meh, I think they'd have to differentiate him from Caim in a few ways.
>Caim is already damaged goods
>Nowe is goods that are about to fucking hit the ground after being dropped off the Empire State Building.
Yeah I think if they made Nowe more like Caim, he'd probably be even more generic.
>POSSIBLE NOWE USAGE INCOMING
You could have him return in a nier sequel or drakengard 4 with the dragons he flies with in ending b. This could mean you were in the land of the watchers or somehow they ended up there through other means.
Would end up with Nowe getting murdered probably.
Yes, they could have done much better in making Drakengard 2.

Indeed.
Not a bad idea. Maybe he'd sacrifice himself or something because he feels he doesn't deserve a happy ending after what he did.
To differentiate him even more, maybe he could have a redemption arc?
Yeswe

Did anyone else think she was lowkey sexy
Jeez
subversion!=deconstruction
You aren't the only one.
Meh

A pretty awesome final boss theme for route C. Even it it is the last proper final boss in the game.
youtube.com
I want to know what drugs were these fucking devs on to come up with the final two routes in the game.
Theres always so much more I hear from this track every time i listen to it. Yeah yeah babies cooing but theres also a barely audible percussion throughout the vocals that i'm obsessed with right now.
There is no drugs. Only Yoko Taro
Come on, they had to be on something for the final 2 routes. Something this batshit insane has to have drugs thrown into the mix.
>The scene where Caim and Red reunite as they die.
They clearly had someone on staff who knew what they were doing. Shame they weren't in charge of the protagonist.
>lowkey
what the fuck, she's just a little bit underwieght with bags under her eyes
never understood what was about "losing her beauty" when I'd breed her
Will we ever get another game like Drakengard? Not just for the ride, but also the experience. Ending D is really depressing when I look back on it. By the time I got ending B I wanted to stab myself in the head or bash my head against a wall until I passed out. A game that really takes it out of you.
i'm kind of sad this brand will never return to fucked up OSTs like this
Any concept can work. The execution is what matters.
They could have done a lot of interesting things with Drakengard 2 in general. Instead they made a really boring game.
>Will we ever get another game like Drakengard?
Likely. Though whether it's as a AAA game or an indie game is left up in the air.
>Reality is breaking.
>The soundtrack is also breaking.

the game gave us crazy murderhobo Caim and for that I will always be thankful
I love drakengard ost

One of my favorite OSTs in the game was the final battle against Inuart in chapter 9.
youtube.com
Marathon is to Drakengard as Doom is to DMC/Dynasty Warriors. Remember that
To quote Salvador Dali:
>I don't do drugs, I am drugs
Manah was so much more interesting
and Urick was fucking amazing
Urick might be in the running for "Most based character in the entire franchise"
>Literally just fucking shoves Caim off a cliff
>first boss is a 50ft tall loli high priestess of an apocalypse cult possessed by a mad god
>music sounds like the end of the world inside her head
youtube.com
I didn't like Manah but hands down Urick was one of the best characters in the game.
And to think, Giant Manah wasn't even the strangest final boss in the game.
More like strangest final boss in the fucking series. 3's D branch ending will never stop being tragic as shit.
Caim is nothing BUT based
Well monster Furiae is one of the scarier final bosses in the series.
>3's D branch ending will never stop being tragic as shit.
Yeah you're not wrong there.
I still take solace in the fact that the Flower chose Zero, because if it waited a bit and then chose Caim....
Fucking imagine that
Probably a shitty translation, instead of trading her beauty it should have been trading her appeal because clearly she isn't hideous or anything but some people just exude an unpleasant aura that makes them uncomfortable to be around and thats probably amplified with her by a hundredfold.
Also she fucks little boys
>as Inuart places Furiae in the seed think for a brief moment that Angelus was wrong and they really are the seeds of resurrection and we might actually get a happy ending in the game
Why couldn't Caim just fuck his sister. Thats all she wanted
>>Deconstruct
Stopped reading there
Yoko Taro does shit like that to you
>because if it waited a bit and then chose Caim
Please no.
You cannot name me a scarier final boss in this series besides her.
He thinks Angelus is hot. What the hell can I say?
Only term I could think of
Even Caim has limits. I think he probably regretted it afterwards
Come again?
The entire concept of Flower!Caim is now going to be a reoccurring nightmare of mine.
Drakengard 2 makes me sad, because there was a lot of creative potential in it from start to finish, but they seemed to take the put all their stock in Nowe being a bland Shonen protagonist that saves the day and gets the girl in the end despite all the people he got killed.
I stand by thinking that Manah should have been the new main character. Living with the PTSD of being the villain adopted by the Watchers, and trying to stop the world from ending while Caim, the first game's "hero" is trying to break the seals and free Angelus. Like a full-circle reversal of roles.
I think it'd be funny if it was revealed Caim just fucking backstabbed the dude
I always interpret it as "fuck you, incestfags"
Perhaps. I still think Nowe could've worked, though. They just needed to change up his overall character arc in a few key ways.
I wonder if they had originally planned to do more with all the pact partner characters. There's a lot of beautiful concept art detailing their backstories, but they're barely talked about in-game.
Like, imagine Caim!Intoners.
Because HOLY SHIT.
1=Murder
2=Murder
3=Murder
4=Murder
5=Murder
Caim would probably just think "I can now use my eye to murder people. Neat"
I think he would have been fine as a Papa Nier styled character. Someone genuinely kind-hearted and well-meaning but too stubborn and thick-headed to realize that their goal could ultimately hurt a lot of people.
It absolutely is. More specifically, based on Taro's hatred of Sister Princess.
Probably would've done that. Every single aspect of 2 had a ton of potential.
>gives the middle to incestfags
>endorses furryfags
I don't know which is worse
Hell, I think giving him a redemption arc would be cool. Maybe he'd make a choice to only kill when he needed to.
There's nothing that says Caim's love of Angelus is sexual though. Even if it is, he's too consumed with hatred and isn't supposed to be a good guy on account of his bloodlust. Taro paints pedos in a better light in his treatment of Leonard.
Which reminds me: If they were going to do a Drakengard 4, I think the protagonist would have to, personality wise, be this odd combination of Caim and Zero in a sense.
>Seeks to murder a bunch of specific people for seemingly no reason
>Completely done with everyone's shit.
"Leaving so so-"
"Yes"
>Entire motivation is because the people they've set out to butcher are vaguely related to the horrid state of the world and he's angry about it.
I think he loves Angelus because she's the only other being in existence that seemed to understand how he felt.
This is a thing? Because it's brilliant
She's cute
I think they ran out of time/budget in a lot of places. The stiff non-animated cut-scenes versus the FMV cutscenes are like night-and day. And they had all this hype over Zhangpo as a pact partner but you don't even see his pact beast in the game.
Oh no did she loose her tiddies? what is that on her chest in the bottom left?
