    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
