That's good. I wasn't really interested in this game, but that trailer really caught my interest.
Does this give the full picture including what's censored?

Drakengard 3 is coming to the west - $49.99, 2014 release

Wow totally didn't expect SE to localize this. Guess Yoko Taro really cares for his western fanbase.
Well it's Keiichi Okabe the Nier composer, no doubt music will be the best part of the game right next to crazy and depressing story.

Yoko Taro didn't have a say in localization, as seen from his twitter responses. This is just squeenix listening to a really niche audience, unlike some companies.

Will it continue the Drakengard tradition of multiple, increasingly depression-inducing endings?
I assume there are surprises in store, the advance materials have been fairly vague on story and specifics, any hints? I believe Yoko Taro has already said in an interview that he intended to try something a little different from his previous games with this.
Lastly, I'd ask given that Nier provided a welcome reminder of the Drakengard series -even if it wasn't promoted as such- how has the response to that game impacted the approach to revisiting the dragonsphere?
Well this is fantastic news. Celebratory Caim bloodbath!
Yes, the LP brings up and explains the censored plotpoints.

My wallet has been prepared accordingly.
My mind however is never ready for these games.

If it isn't too rude, ask very respectfully for a super quick post mortem on Nier - what they're most proud of and what they would change if they did it again. Ask them if there's ever the possibility if we'll ever see an ending as gutsy as the 'D' ending, ever again.
Also if there'll be DLC babes for the male harem.
Can you ask if he has interest on releasing it on other platforms(especially next-gen and PC)?
Wouldn't mind something more up beat ending wise after Nier. :x
Thanks
So why didn't they localized Type-0, DQ7 remake or Braverly Deafult by themselves? This seems really strange.

Really, you really don't think there is an story reason for this?

Do you guys think it will be dubbed? I'm not a big "sub" only proponent (nothing against dual audio however)
My guess is that the cost of localizing drakengard 3 (if it does include no dubs, digital only release for Europe) is lower than the others through some weird squeenix magic. Also type-0 is probably 'TOO niche' for them, regardless of how many people will open up their PSP/vita wallets.
HD collection for Drakengard 1 + 2?

Yeah, I'm pretty excited. The tracks in Nier were incredible.
Maybe if they have any idea of English voices we may expect to hear?

For the people that haven't played the first 2, any plans to release them on the PSN or an HD collection?
If Yoko Taro is present, ask if he sees comparison to Mohiro Kitoh as a compliment.
I'd also be interested in knowing this.
Indeed, very interested in this.
Of course, that's why I am curious in the first place. Wondering about the design motivations behind it - that's all.
Reason for the platform of choice? Also +1 for HD Collection!
Well damn. I was about to sell my PS3 this week, Neir was one of my favorite RPGs this generation.
Should I check out Drakengaurd 1 +2? Is it too late to go back graphics wise? Should I just stay with my fold memories of Neir and wait for 3?... so many questions.
I still can't get the scene out of my head where Emeile dies. Although he does come back.

If you can stomach Drakengard 3's graphics, 1 and 2 shouldn't be much worse.

The first Drakengard is not as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be. The flight levels are pretty terrible but the ground and mixed air/ground battles are kinda fun in a mindless hack and slash way, and there are a lot of different weapons and spells to try out. I don't think watching a Lets Play would be as effective at putting you in the mindset of a murderous soldier as controlling him and mowing down/burning all those hordes of enemies yourself.

YES!
Is it really a store exclusive? That's a bit odd. I better get my preorder in...

So I can't pick this up at the local EB/FutureShop/Best Buy/etc?
By the time I get a card the pre-orders will probably have all been taken. :/
Strange, but at least they're having a store release.
