One of my most anticipated games of the year. Sure do hope its more like Drakengard 1 than Drakengard 2 (storywise).
La la la, the Watchers!

Going to Gamefly the heck out of this. I've never playe the first two and didn't particularly enjoy Nier as much as some, but I think I'll have a good time with this.
If nothing else, the characters, voice acting and music all seem to be pretty good. Those can usually be enough for me to get through most games.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
just you wait till you have to deal with the fucking camera too... most irritating thing ever bout some of the boss fights while using the dragon.
Great OT! I've never played a Drakengard game before. The trailer I watched when the localization was announced basically was all it took for me to want this game. From what I saw the combat looks sort of dynasty warriors-ish which would be great because I love that series. Can't wait for Tuesday!

Nice job on the OT!
Are the novellas on the Square Enix page something that shouldn't be read until completing the game or are they fine to look at beforehand?

Good to know, thanks!
I'll be paying attention to this thread for the reactions to the final stage.
I did enjoy the game for the most part but after doing that I'm not in much hurry to replay the game... maybe next year. It's true that the game's plot is kind of awful taken on it's own, all of the really interesting stuff happens in the manga/novels. Dialogue is really fun though.

You should check "My account" on the store page.For some reasons they don't sent confirmation emails.
Pre-ordered the CE day 1,I hope it arrives next week.

I want to buy this game, but the fact I only played Nier and negative word of mouth is discouraging me.

Looking forward to it, waiting for my copy to arrive next week.
Great job on the OT.

Yeah, lemme speak bout this Decadus guy rite quick:
I wish I could've been there to see exactly what the VA was instructed to do.
Voice Director: "Now, I want you to say every line like you're on the verge of climax."

So there's nothing in there, that will ruin plot twists or something of the sort?
If I remember right, it's just backstory so no
It'll be updated shortly. We're media fiends.
That is the kind of information that should have been there from the start. It is the most important information in the entire first post of an official thread.

Great OT. My copy is sitting on my hard drive, waiting to unlock. Only 30 English pounds on my US account. Bargain!
Being a massive fan of Jank but gold games - I'm gonna love the fuck outta this.

My tracking number says the expected delivery date is 5/20-5/21, hoping I get it Tuesday.
Awesome OT
Does anyone know if the JP voices will be released as buyable DLC?
Yes. $4.99, not sure if Square announced when it's coming out though.

On one hand I'm excited about playing this because holy shit a new Drakengard game but on the other the impressions have been mostly poor and I saw the video of the new rhythm game section ;-;

Is the final
boss still
true
a piece of shit and nearly impossible?
So I impulse bought the CE version of this game way back in February and didn't think much about it after that. According to DR my copy SHOULD come Wednesday.
Question I have is, I never played any of the previous games. Is this going to put me at a disadvantage story-wise in this game? From what I've seen I was thinking it wouldn't but now I'm not sure.
I'm wondering if its worth picking up the older games. D2 looks pretty interesting.
Also whats up with the CE prices on ebay for this game? They are asking like 200 dollars.

D2 is almost generic JRPG level. Taro wasn't involved, avoid it. D1 is unforgettable, that's one way of putting it.
There's no connections to D3 though, even if part of me hopes Caim and Angelus will show up breaking faces.
It's a prequel so no. I like the other games, but they get a lot of shit for being clunky. D2 is better than D1 from a mechanical standpoint, but the story is not as entertaining. Both have killer soundtracks and interesting characters though.

Fk. They finally started givin' me silver base materials and I hardly ever have the money.
Also, is there a way to tell what combo strings a weapon will have ahead of time? Imo, within at least two weapon sets, one combo string is infinitely better than the other as far as usefulness and building up the combo counter. Is it based on the weapons initial size of something? I'd switch back to one of my initial weapons if not for the gap in the attack power.

OK. Maybe I'll try grabbing D1 at some point since it seems to be fairly cheap. I just didn't want to start this one first if it would have been worth while to play the previous games first.

Are there towns a la Nier, or just action setpieces like D1? How are quests handled?
