Can anyone teach me what this series is about?

And the battle system it uses? I'm rather interested to know.

From what I've seen it uses a combo based system.

Is Drakengard a traditional RPG or a non-traditional RPG?

Thanks.

Think a mixture of Dynasty Warriors with a basic RPG levelling mechanics and story + the ability to jump on and off a dragon pretty much anytime you want.

The style change puts me off a bit to be honest. The first Drakengard was very medieval in looks and setting and from the second they started aiming towards the more generic anime style.

That said, I'll still play it and hopefully it will be better than the second.

Seems EU region is getting a Collector's Edition.



I want it but at €69.99 it's a little out of my price range

But still no disc... Not sure how that works...

Apparently you get a digital code and have to download through PSN.

screw this game and Square Enix

Well, Square Enix said they are going to start to refocus on JRPG because of the Bravery Default... Just dont think this is one of the rethinks... this is good old, making money... Id rather import the game then spend 2x as much and still need to download a 25GIG game...

Did you guys know that Drakengard and Nier are connected to each other?

Yip, and even the music feels/ sounds very similar

I loved Nier. So many people didn't like it. It's one of my favourite RPGs ever. Dat boombox boss

Same here, Nier is one of the most underrated JRPG's ever!

As I'm sure most of you guys are aware - AWX will be importing the US edition of this game as there will be no physical disc release in PAL (European and SA) territories.

Please place pre-orders HERE as I don't think we will have any units available for shelf.

Pre-ordered the game for R234 last night on PSN.

Sadly for some reason you cannot pre-download the game, seems only the US version can do that.

The game itself is 15GB and there is an additional 10gb character voice pack which contains the japanese voices. Doubt I will download that though, watched a few of the english playthroughs and the voice acting seems to be fine.

Hey guys, goods news! Physical edition scheduled to arrive next week

Just saw a IGN Review... Wow... Didn't read it cause I didn't want any spoilers...

The review kinda reminds me of NIER's Review, so I'm hoping that it is going to be like Nier... I LOVED THAT GAME! Played it like 16 times...

Nier got so many bad reviews and yet I think if one of the best games ever made. So I'm not gonna bother with reviews for drakengard3
