POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT COMPLETED THE GAME: "Love me, I want you to love me!" I was eleven or twelve when I first played through this game. The level where you went into Mannah's mind to slay the memory of her as a little girl scared the living crap out of me.
My introduction to the Drakengard series, it caused me to go and play Drakengard 1 and...most of my positive feelings for this game changed pretty quickly lol
I never understood why Square Enix didn't make a remastered or a remake of this game still remember the headache lol but it was a really great game. I would love to play it again and Drakengard 1 with Caim
This game was quite literally slept on,A straight up PS2 GEM. Edit:I watched this in 2012 bc I got the game from a friend around the beginning of 2012 out of a bunch of games he gave to me I thought this looked the most interesting. I was so right,This brings back so much nostalgia and I thought I'd share that memory.
I just now began to play this series. I have to say i think 1 story was very good in general, amazing towards the end, but the gameplay and camera control were frustrating to say the least, and repetitive many times. Drakengard 2 have seem to resolve a lot of playability issues: a more useful evasion and block, real combos in each weapon, free camera control, dragon skills on the ground, that hover feature is just amazing, partners feel a lot more usable (i know arioch was broken and basically allowed to insta kill everything on sight and you could spam her) but the developing and "party feel" of it was nowhere near in drakengard 1. Im loving this series, and at least, technically and gameplay wise, 2 seems like an overall big improvement. At least it solved most of my gripes with drakengard 1. Also the music, i loved how repetitive yet tense and atmospheric was drakengard 1 soundtrack, but i also love this more fleshed out soundtrack in 2. Can't wait to reach drakengard 3 and then move to both niers.
yeah same, yesterday they released pictures of Three, she has purple hair and uses these scissor things for weapons. im not joking, they just look like big scissors
no actually its a bit but confusing actually the drakengard 2 timeline only occurs if you get the ending of Drakengard where inuart and ferie fuse which is not the canon ending, the canon ending of drakengard is actually branch E which leads to another world in a game called NIER
+Chris Winkowski I thought it was the opposite, with ending A leading into Drakengard 2 hence being canon, and ending E and Nier being an alternate possibility.
+AverageMrStimson Pretty sure every ending in Drakengard is considered canon as the series deals heavily with split timelines and any sequel can literally be a continuation of any of the games many endings. The only thing I can really compare it to is the Zelda series and it's many timelines and sequels.
Ma Martin I agree because this one seemed more tragic and sad than the first the first was really one of a kind because throughout the game I really hated all the characters but still loved everything about it
They could have at least had Manah be the first, foremost and only lead. A Kratos kind of lead I may add. I couldn't care less about Nowe, even if I tried. And this comes from someone who usually loves sunshine characters. Cent from "Drakengard 3" is everything he should have been. This game disrespects EVERYTHING "DrakeNier" was built upon. Look at the OST. It's a joke ! Completely generic !
i can never get tired of that, "Love me, I want you to love me...* unintelligible demonic like child words*...SQUARE ENIX~" XD
Square Enix! ..... Cavia!
Fun fact: That demonic voice is the "Thanks you for playing" from Ending E, reversed
Chills at "Is it over... Caim?"
Chills at "you're kind and gentle, yet somewhat wild....... I am glad to have met you. Goodbye, Nowe."
DewAble same

"Love me, I want you to love me!"
I was eleven or twelve when I first played through this game. The level where you went into Mannah's mind to slay the memory of her as a little girl scared the living crap out of me.
a part of me never forgive her for the first Drakengard
The doodle on the walls with red ink fuckin creeped me out.
god damn dude, ps2 openings just hit different.
Who else nearly teared up when they heard Caim's name being said at the end?
Me , this game was my childhood
Is it over, Caim?
My introduction to the Drakengard series, it caused me to go and play Drakengard 1 and...most of my positive feelings for this game changed pretty quickly lol
Nothing prepares you for flesh eating floating babies that's a hard one to top.
@@321backlip
I vividly remember hearing the baby noises first and thinking "There's NO way I'm hearing what I think I'm hearing...WHA-"
The transition into Growing Wings is so good. I also hope they remake all 3 games but change up the story for 2 just a bit
I never understood why Square Enix didn't make a remastered or a remake of this game still remember the headache lol but it was a really great game. I would love to play it again and Drakengard 1 with Caim

SEE ME GROW WINGS AND FLY HIGHHHHHHHHH
2020. This just crossed my mind and looked for that part where Angelus and Caim died here in utube. Ugh, heartbreaking. 1 of the best game in PS2.
omg i love this game so much
"Fool.. Never trust a human"
same ps2 was the best thing that happened to my childhood
Don't know whether to cry or scream at Angelus and Caim. New Game+++ Angelus was a BEAST.
I really like this arrangement of the song
Nowe for smash
i love this damn game so much. favorite video game of all time
I am gonna cry this game impacted me sooo much, SOOOOOO MUCH FEEEEEEEELLSS!!!!
Now I have to play these games again!
I reall enjoyed both games. I can't wait now, Drakengard 3 has been announced and will be released some time at the end of the year on ps3 in Japan
Still wish they'll go back to Drakengard someday, but I'm guessing Yoko Taro wouldnt go for it, and Drakengard wouldnt be the same without the creator
So much love
he is not even born in drakengard 3 because its a prequel
Would always watch this after booting up the game. Good times
That Caim vs Nowe fight hits so hard
Go, go, play it!
i just hope they make great new characters
A bad Drakengard game, but it's kind of cool as a standalone thing.
3 1 2 in that order it was good
not sure how they'll be able to do that...I mean, he kind of burned to a complete crisp into nothing but ashes along with angelus.

REMASTER THIS
Needs to be remastered.
CAIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is this game good I played a demo as a kid but I never got around to playing the full game
Drakengard 3 is my favorite
*manly twinkle*
But do you have -all- the versions?
(Yes, there are several versions.)
more beautiful the more you know, such is square and yoko taro.
Yoko had very little to do with this game. He’s ovverrated
URICK!!!!!!!!
CAIM!!!
This is definitely me least favorite in the series, but has my favorite opening
CAIM!!!!!!!
notice how i posted that 4 months ago where there was hardly any information about DoD 3
i'm aware of this
yeah same, yesterday they released pictures of Three, she has purple hair and uses these scissor things for weapons. im not joking, they just look like big scissors
great a scissor girl in drakengard shouldn't she be in clock tower?
@TwilitSwordmaster Yup ^^ That is how much I love this game ^^
LEGNA!!!!!!!! T^T
I thought this was a movie 😆
@TwilitSwordmaster eh you loose him too early >> Legna on the other hand...GOD DAMN IT!!!! >.<
Now I have growing wings on my ipod ^^
I play the lagna is die
is this the direct sequel of the first?
no actually its a bit but confusing actually the drakengard 2 timeline only occurs if you get the ending of Drakengard where inuart and ferie fuse which is not the canon ending, the canon ending of drakengard is actually branch E which leads to another world in a game called NIER

so i can't like legna cause of that?
just saying
when i got my ps2 this looked amazing , now it looks cheesy.

Nice
this is no where as good as 1
How about 3?
nah the first was the best out of all of them
Drakengard 1 has Story + Gameplay ( Caim
Ma Martin I agree
because this one seemed more tragic and sad than the first
the first was really one of a kind because throughout the game I really hated all the characters but still loved everything about it
Ma Martin I heard that ending e in Drakemgard lead to Nier Gesalt and Nier Replicant(Basically different versions of the same game).
PERISH!!!
They could have at least had Manah be the first, foremost and only lead. A Kratos kind of lead I may add.
I couldn't care less about Nowe, even if I tried. And this comes from someone who usually loves sunshine characters. Cent from "Drakengard 3" is everything he should have been.
This game disrespects EVERYTHING "DrakeNier" was built upon. Look at the OST. It's a joke ! Completely generic !
I prefer the Japanese theme song.
