I suppose it depends but for most people I think the game is unsettling. You're constantly given messages to kill, your party members talk about wanting to kill all the time including your religious figure who half-heartedly condones it, Caim although silent clearly only wants to kill, plus knowing the actual context of your companions (paedophilia, cannibalism) brings some moments in stark relief.

Yeah, it's pretty cool how Yoko Taro managed to turn a joke ending into it's own series. It's like if Konami made a spin-off series based on Silent Hill's UFO ending, and that series got more popular than Silent Hill itself.

Drakengard 1 is mainly as dark as it is just to stand out from other Square-Enix games like Final Fantasy, which is why I think it tries a bit too hard, while Nier isn't anywhere near as grimdark.

I’m not that anon but I absolutely did. I first played it in 2015 because I wanted ti play DoD 3, I had never heard anyone mention the ending. I knew it was called the “Tokyo” ending but also expected it to be a good end considering what you had to go through to get it

Its not that hard you don’t have to level the weapons up, just collect them. I had like a grand total of 40 hours when I did it. If you want when I get home I can take a picture of the file or something.

That game is literal trash. Awful graphics, awful gameplay, story was butchered when it was brought to the US. "Remastering" Nier was a waste of time and money, they should've just remade Drakengard instead.

>>8307332
So you did it like ten years after the fact, probably with a guide. I honestly have to wonder why. You can just find the ending all over YouTube. 40 hours of grinding through that piece of shit? I gave up when I looked up how to unlock the last ending and just loaded it up on YT. 40 hours is better spent on another game.

You are a brain-dead moron regurgitating shit you don't know pretending you actually played this game for longer than an hour. None of those things you're describing are censored - the most "obscure" taboo, incest, is actually spelled out by Angelus in one of the missions which if you had been paying attention and didn't have the attention span of a retarded monkey you'd know is present in the western localization.

They do remove the specific language that spells out the incest and pedophile subplots. Instead it's like "Furiae CARES about you! >:)" and then Caim gets all disgusted. Caims face in that moment, and Leonard when Seere hugs him is a pretty obvious tell that they couldn't really remove without editing the cutscenes themselves.

If you know what's being said it's still extremely obvious what's going on, especially in the undub which unfortunately doesn't actually restore the translation itself. Arioch still totally eats babies though, which is hilarious that it's exactly there they drew the line apparently.
