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!!!
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
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
"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.

@@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.
OBM knowledge just too strong. His references cleave the skies.
"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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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 remember playing this when i was really young and being super confused and kind of scared
I think drakengard was a game ahead of its time..
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?
Great video! Now i just need a Drakengard 2 Recapitation and im up to date on the series.
Nice your doing both of the endings for the series
Timestamps would be incredibly useful, considering that you're covering multiple different endings back to back
I can't have been the only one waiting for this vid!

4:48 WOW I was not expecting this
I really wanna see this series for the mainline SMT games
I love the story and it’s connection to Nier
Top notch content
Killed literal gods just to get shot down my a missile 😭
I don’t know if he has covered this yet but I need to see a Destrega video
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.
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
15:10 ok that one caught me off guard lmao
you did it, Yay!! 😊
Do you think you could make a recapitation on Super Robot Wars Original Generations on the PS2?
Love this series flaws and all
The male voice for the speaker of the watchers is actually Gordy from Ned’s Declassified and Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents. Fun facts
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.
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)
You should do chaos legion next

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)
So I think the most important thing we can all take away from this is that Caim's parents were killed by Joey Wheeler!

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....
😀
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

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
