Interestingly, just about every instance of romantic/physical attraction in the series is shown between members of different species. Aside from Doctor M's freakish abominations, every single character we've seen seems to be of a single species (unless Dimitri is hiding little antlers under his hair).

It's just the idea of hybrids (not counting the ones made by Doctor M) doesn't make a lot of sense for this world. So, with that in mind, let's get started!" Did I mention NIER was depressing.? No? Oh, well NIER will ruin your goddamn day by the end, friend. So let's get started on this long, depressing road. But f*** them, NIER was a memorable labor of love by a company (that still absolutely hates you, the player) that got its s*** together at the end to pump out one really great game. There were prettier games, games that played better, and all that jazz. NIER was honestly my game of the year of 2010. Nier has a goddamn phenomenal OST that was so well received it got a second one released just last month. Drakengard had a soundtrack of chaotic dissonance that was unsettling at best, ear raping at worst. Nier has one of the best damn, natural sounding translations I have heard in a JRPG, has an interesting and coherent plot filled with a very likable cast of jerks with outstanding voice acting. Drakengard had a dodgily translated, barely comprehensible at points plot, filled with a cast of utterly unlikable a******* that all had subpar voice acting. Nier, while not brilliant with its gameplay, does frequently mix things up to keep it fresh. But, honestly this game is like a bizarro version of Drakengard.ĭrakengard was a repetitive grind that got old after about an hour of gameplay. It goes down a much different rabbit hole than Drakengard did. It is still a strange game with some pretty f***ed up s*** that will go down. "Nier will not be going as far off the deep end in bats*** crazy.

To quote The-Dark-Id'd comparison of the games (slightly censored for your protection): Nier on the other hand, is awesome and you should play it. Nier I actually played all the way through.įrankly, given what little I've played of Drakengaard, I'd recommend reading the LPs for Drakengaard 1 and 2 over playing the actual games.

My main experience with first two games is from reading The-Dark-Id's screenshot Let's Plays of them.
