Today we're going to begin our look at the Drakengard series. These games spawned Nier, which we'll also take a look at. Let's see if Drakengard holds up.

For those curious about Leonard, avoiding No-no words:
He Likes kids. Capital L.
But he recognises that's wrong, so never acts on it, and goes off to live in the woods. Along with his 3 younger brothers.
Then, when he sneaks out one night to go "Relieve some urges" behind a tree, he comes back to find his home burned down with his brothers inside. Which he kin'a takes as a sign from god that he shouldn't have jerked it.
The English version censors this by not bringing up his unpleasant, unwanted desires, and he was just... going for a midnight stroll I guess?

Never forget that Caim is canonically a dragon fucker.

A full blown Yoko Taro remake in collaboration with platinum games is needed, the two gameplay styles are something platinum already excel at.

A few years ago I became OBSESSED with the Drakengard/Nier games and went down the incredibly complex rabbit hole that is the lore for these games. So I'm excited to see them covered here.

Smoul fun fact: Angelus and mannah share the same voice actor, further more the male voice when mannah is possessed by the watchers VA is cosmo from fairly odd parents!

Drakengard is... Honestly, the best game in need of a remake. Think about it: This year marks the 20th anniversary of this game, and a lot of dormant legacy franchises from the wild west that was the fifth, sixth and seventh generations either have made, or are set, to make a comeback in one form or another (Destroy All Humans!, System Shock, Half-Life, Armored Core, Alone in the Dark, The House of the Dead, Front Mission, Max Payne, Silent Hill, fucking METAL GEAR) so I genuinely hope that Square Enix announce such a project.
Think about what it'd be like if Caim could lock-on to enemies, if he had a handy-dandy parry feature, if there was a rudimentary ability to command troops befitting his role as a military commander, if The Dragon's movement was tweaked to be as satisfying as its Ace Combat lineage, if the stun-lock was tweaked to not be so punishing or if the club-wielding enemy commandos were rightly nerfed, the room for improvement is large, and needed, as the foundation for a great game is there, but the rushed development resulted in a flawed title.
And yet, I STILL consider it a guilty pleasure in its vanilla form: when it clicks, the game is actually kinda fun, the air gameplay IS genuinely good if unbalanced, and the plot, music, English voice acting, writing, sound design, art design, weapons and characters? A-tier easily and deliver on its seinen manga inspirations and style. Despite the faults, I'll freely admit this was the first JRPG I've ever finished (A route only, in case you're wondering).

Your closing statements is why I love Yoko Taro as a director and writer so much. He has a clear vision and sticks to it. He doesn't always stick the landing and the games tend to be rough around the edges, but you can see the passion behind his projects. It's what gaming used to be in the early 2000s.

Helpful Tip:
Inuart and the Black Dragon actually suck at dodging the basic fireball blast. They'll still do it, but not nearly as crazy or consistently as the homing shot. It's a bossfight specifically designed to be much, MUCH harder if you rely strictly on homing, and to re-enforce that you have another powerful tool that may be harder to use, but can dish out the hurt when mastered.

32:58 I think at this moment Caim is thinking something like "Holy shit it's gross but you didn't have to fucking off yourself".

Oh, hell yeah. This is an unexpected retrospective from ya. Hoping you tackle the rest of the games in Yoko Taroās bonkers world

One of the weirdest, bleakest, and most interesting series and spin off series in gaming. Nice to see it getting talked about! Hope Platinum remakes it one day.

You keep deciding to cover absolutely legendary series (IMO), and I love it.
The Drakengard games are all in desperate need of remakes, or at the very least a remaster, mostly so we can have them all on one platform with the Nier games.
If you've not watched it already, ValkyrieAurora's explanation of the varying timelines of the series is well worth a watch.
Keep up the good work! ā¤

THIS WAS SUCH A NICE SURPRISE!!
Drakengard/NieR is my favorite series and I love and will watch as many lore videos I can find! Canāt wait to watch this one and see what youāre take on it isā¤

This game is special to me and my early life. I appreciate the love and understanding you have given to a relatively unknown game. šš

Hell yeah bro! I love this series so much. Of course my introduction was nier automata but after that it was history. I didn't know I needed this right now
21 |
This was actually my first ps2 game waaaaaaay back when as a kid and uhh yeah it was an interesting experience that left a massive impact on my writing

I wasn't expecting THIS to be your next series, but I will not complain. Drakengard is a very fascinating game because it feels like a car crash you cannot look away from

Phenomenal video man!!! Really is a shame Drakengardās gameplay canāt keep up with the scope of its story but itās still such a wild experience from start to finish. Love how you describe the world and story beats, itās so enriching and exciting and your overall look at the gameplay and missions is so well detailed and executed. Really glad I stumbled upon this and I canāt wait to see your analysis on Drakengard 2 and eventually Nier!

This was unexpected! I love this game and series, often don't think Drakengard gets the recognition it deserves. Thanks for covering this game on the channel!
