I heard a theory recently when watching a streamer play this game, Inuart is repeating Furiae's name over and over because he's trying to sing it, but song was the price for his pact. Hence the insane sounding chants in his despair.
Not a bad theory, I can believe that
This man really made a SMT Nocturne reference like it was NOTHING
I appreciate that Yu-Gi-Oh reference. Red eyes black dragon
I actually like that dragon more than the Blue Eyes lol!!!
I remember being blown away by actual dragon flight combat when this game came out. My brother would play the hack and slash parts and I would do the flying sections. Those were the days haha
The Ending where the dragon and the main character just get blown up by the air force is one of the funniest things I ever seen
"You cannot live on hatred alone." Wow, I forgot how little she knew Caim at that point. My dude needs literally nothing BUT hate for his sustenance lol
Welcome to a world without song. Welcome to a world full of bloodlust, incest, child abuse, cannibalism, and many other dark and disturbing things.
Welcome to Yoko Taro's Wild Ride! Once you get on, there's no getting off and you're there for life.
And those are just the good guys...
so just the regular world i guess?
That queen's corpse led to blindfolded androids
And also a raid in FFXIV.
"become as gods." Yup..that's the ending leading right to Nier.
This game was amazingly disturbing and Darkengard 3 deff did pretty good leading to it.
OBM knowledge just too strong. His references cleave the skies.
As I have played this game a few times, I have no comment on the story itself; you know how much I love it, despite American censorship. But I absolutely love the word choice used to describe Caim's relentless slaughter of the Empire's soldiers and the cultists behind it. Your writing here is absolutely great.
"Creating a Hell of bullets." A reference to the entire Bullet Hell genre! I love that.
"Red eyes black dragon." Yu-Gi-Oh, despite having barely played it. Forbidden Memories in particular.
"159 note combo." Whether intentional or not, Dance Dance Revolution and its spawn was referenced here. As well as proclaiming just *how hard* this final mission was.
I suppose there was no good way to include the phrase "as the Empire strikes back...", but I'm still sad it was not referenced some way, somehow.
I'm rushing to rendezvous with you on the next battlefield.
"One more god rejected" from SMT3 Nocturne.
He also referenced SMT Nocturne with the “one more god rejected” and “Fierce Battle”
Man, that story was a descent into madness..
LITERALLY a deconstruction of video game tropes and a deconstruction of madness.
@@Darth_Bateman Indeed. Fun fact, Yoko Taro hated the happy ending trope and the little sister trope, so he had each of the characters die, have the world end, and had Furiae killed off as a form of backlash.
"what happened at drakengard 1" holy shit, more correctly what didnt happened
What happened in Drakengard you ask? Total fucking chaos.
It's been a while since I've said this... Star Ocean 1 and 2 would look real nice on this channel
I am leaning more towards Second Story than the first one. Personal preference.
Second Story is my favorite in the series and I've hoped for a star ocean 2 recap since I found this channel
I've always figures he could cover it from the First Departure and Second Evolution ports
You should do a complete nier/drakengard timeline video. This one was great 👍
You'd have to include FFXIV, because apparently, the NieR raids there are cannon to this other series somehow...
If you want a complete timeline and all that check out Clemps Drakengard/ Nier series.
It's too bad that this summary skips the parts that reveal that [SPOILERS FOR DRAKENGARD'S OTHER ENDINGS] it is implied that Caim and Angelus have romantic feelings for each other, and that Furiae has sexual feelings for Caim.
Yep.
wincest
>implied
lmao both are fucking obvious, plot points even
Incest = Wincest , Yoko just doesn't give 2 fucks with his writing. A blessing and a curse
Drakengard is a fun family-friendly game, in fact, too family-friendly the entire Seere & Manah's family tree was wrecked just like how Golem wrecked Manah
Bullsh!t
Surprised you managed to pare Drakengard down to just under 17 minutes. What a wild ride of a game.
i imagine knowing how drakengard ends and how nier starts would still be so confusing bc of all the shit that happens between them thats never stated in either
You are a fucking LEGEND. Your videos always fight my boredom while I’m doin my route. Thank you sir.
thanks, not enough people know about this game's story. It's kind of like the manga Berserk in many ways
I agree, indeed.
I believe Caim is supposed to be a reference to Guts during Berserk's black swordsman arc. The Dragonslayer is referenced twice by the "iron will" weapon and possibly Caim's own sword.
RIP Miura u_u
Nice your doing both of the endings for the series
I remember playing this when i was really young and being super confused and kind of scared
This is probably the most fucked up game I've ever played, and I love it for that. There's literally no good ending and every character's some kind of monster. It's great, like Panzer Dragoon x Dynasty Warriors meets Requiem for a Dream. Tell me i'm not wrong.
I bought it when it first came out, and during that week my car was getting body work & paint done so I was basically SoL on doing anything by myself. I spent a majority of that time running through the game. I don't think I finished every ending/leveled everything to max during that time but I got pretty damn close. I still have that copy as well as 2 & 3 and the Nier games.
Hey OBM, as an avid gamer who will never have enough time to play and finish all the games on my back log, I thank you so, so much. I only wish there were more of you so I could get a video daily.
Maybe Twice daily?
No, that would be too much awesome for the universe to contain.
And unlike everyone in the comments, I did NOT get the yu-gi-oh reference. Sorry, I've failed you.
I think drakengard was a game ahead of its time..
Great video! Now i just need a Drakengard 2 Recapitation and im up to date on the series.
I can't have been the only one waiting for this vid!
Timestamps would be incredibly useful, considering that you're covering multiple different endings back to back
Imagine if Yoko Taro worked with Miyazaki...
15:10 Thanks OBM
XD
...
WHAT
IS
THAT MELODY?!?!
Drakengard - Thirteenth Chapter - Closing
th-cam.com/video/8XG0nxn7TnM/w-d-xo.html
So the world ends due to giant babies, the "queen baby" and the protagonists get sucked into modern-day tokyo where the queen is killed......then the protagonists are shot down and killed by f-14's? And that somehow leads to nier?
Did.....did I hear that right?
I love how you quote "One more God Rejected".
A Fierce line indeed.
4:48 WOW I was not expecting this
I really wanna see this series for the mainline SMT games
Can't believe nier came from this.
Top notch content
I love the story and it’s connection to Nier
I don’t know if he has covered this yet but I need to see a Destrega video
Killed literal gods just to get shot down my a missile 😭
Idk why
But it will be interesting to have yoko taro and hidetaka Miyazaki make the lore of a new game
Imagine the possibilities
YAS I agree with you!!!
Both of them are my favourite game directors!!!
you did it, Yay!! 😊
15:10 ok that one caught me off guard lmao
I hope they remaster or release the games for pc. I am playing Replicant and the game made a refrence about how the period of the red dragon is greatly missed. I never played them when I was younger, but Id love a chance too do so.
Love this series flaws and all
You should do chaos legion next
Ha yu-gi-oh jokes. Funny. I love your dead pan puns and jokes you throw in.
The giant babies creeped the hell out of me.
I was so confused about this games plot but i was in love and scared of this game at the same but a game where u could dynasty warriors and fly on Dragons....SOLD i aslo played 2.....yet to play 3
The male voice for the speaker of the watchers is actually Gordy from Ned’s Declassified and Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents. Fun facts
nice references haha
15:10 he said the thing OMG lol
Please do Caligula Effect Overdose
Oh yes, please!
I got that Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne reference
Now that I have context specifically about ending E. I can understand certain hesitations regarding No Game No Life season 2.
(Those who actually know what I mean nice, those who don't too bad)
Do you think you could make a recapitation on Super Robot Wars Original Generations on the PS2?
🐐
has a pretty good story. sucks the ground sections were so bad. air sections are so fun.
both were horrible imo
these should come out on switch man.
If I recall correctly Ending A doesn't actually lead to Drakengard 2.
It is also an alternate timeline.
At one point, it did, but that was retconned... That is why I say it 'Sets up' D2, while it 'Leads to' NieR
@@OniBlackMage Aaah okay I see I didn't know that. Cool :)
................. Did you just make an SMT3 Nocturne reference?
Played and beat this game for the first time in 2020 for Ending E (aka 100% completion) and holy fuck this game is terrible but I absolutely love the story.
Dragon Combat stages are pretty cool.
It is amazing. That is all
Why does Caim wear crocs? Easier to clean the blood and gore off after a good slaughter!
(Shoutout to Dark Id's legenday Let's Play)
The onimusha series would be a great series to do
So I think the most important thing we can all take away from this is that Caim's parents were killed by Joey Wheeler!
Or Fubuki Tenjoin/Atticus Rhodes.
TIME WIZARD
I typed "." in the search and found this video
15:11 *I see what you did there*
It was a good game
I. hear. a. sound.
so DRAGONHEART
I loved this game when it first came out! Wasn't a huge fan of the other games in this series though....
Jesus does caim Think about anything else except Murder
No
Yep he is romantically interested in his dragon.
you missed some endings.
What....am I tripping? Wasn't this video already a thing?
Honestly... I really want yoko taro to remaster the whole trilogy, release it without censors and americanation on PC.
I don't want to mess around with emulators just play these games. I find them more intersting than neir...
No ending B, C, D?
You can find the recapped versions of those endings in the Drakengard Analysis videos made by Clemps or in the first Finding The Plot episode by the TH-camr Finding The Plot.
The guy who wrote this was on drugs the entire time.
*distant Yoko taro laughing*
same writer as NieR
explains a lot.
You need to redo this video and add all the good shit. You passed like 50 what the fuck is happening moments.
😀
Wow I guess nier’s story was actually toned down compared to this. Who knew?
AHAHAHAHAHAAAA.
Ooooh boy.
This game had some much shit to do in itn
Dude this game is so weird and it's almost impossible to follow the story.
In hindsight, Drakengard might've been too over the top with trying to display dark and dreary themes. I mean the plot of the first game alone is about a Knight (whose honestly a total ass) and his Dragon recruiting a young boy, a pedophile, and a cannibal in a quest to rescue his sister from her crazed fiancé, who really is only jealous due to the fact that the woman he adores has incestious feeling for her brother. Its great that down the line, Nier and Nier Automata feels more grounded in its story telling, with more understandable and reasonable characters and touching on themes that resonates well with players.
Drakengard wasn't meant to be subtle or understated. It was over the top, in your face, gratuitous and that's why it works. Nier is a different series and has different way of story telling
What in the world did i just listen to? 😶
Yo wtf lmao
Damn this story is fucked up lol
The gameplay is so shit I don't think it's worth playing. Man those PS2 era RPG games are really saved by nostalgia cause they are mediocre at best
I mean this one just looks all around bad to me. There are PS2 era JRPG games that rule. Grandia 2, Arc the Lad twilight of spirits, Dark Cloud, Dragon Quest 8
FFX is one that still holds up amazingly well from the ps2 era
You know I'm kind of happy they never reference this in nier.
1. The series is a little bit too vulgar for my case especially after 3. Go to be fair I only seen three and now the recap of 1.
2. Ending that links this to my favorite Square Enix game(next to Star Ocean:The Last Hope & Final Fantasy XIII Series) is so stupid.😂 I mean it sets itself up to be so serious with that final fight then ends it off on something so comedic. I mean it kind of reminds me of Venture Brothers /Rick and Morty. You know how they're in a serious situation and they solve and comedic stuff happens but after all that is done they show the aftermath of the comedic ending with your son super serious. If it wasn't for me watching shows like that this would be funny. But because my overindulgence of media of the same format. It just kind of comes off as stupid. It's like how sad endings don't really affect me cuz of all those bad ending games(mostly puppet combo) and other sad animes people are making nowadays.
This story is both hot garbage and interesting at the same time. Hard to explain, but I love it
Its quite a soulless recap, sounds like if you were making a school presentation. I feel like for todays standards of videos its low effort. Not writing it to be mean, I just thought I'd share with my opinion. If you dont agree, and think you did a good job - just ignore my comment. :3
I got to about chapter 4 on PCSX2 before deciding that yeah the gameplay is a bit too repetitive for me and this is coming from someone who played Dynasty Warriors 3 and 4 at the same time this game was out (granted i was still in elementary school). I’m just gonna go onto Drakengard 3 on RPCS3
Just noticed a lot of Berserk and Evangelion influence in this game
