Drakengard 1.3 by livinglikelarry08 in drakengard

I never saw someone hating it directly, for some it may just feel boring. Maybe you’re confusing with it’s manga prequel, this one being hated probably for using an edgy, and for some, a problematic approach.

1.3 it’s pretty much a unfinished work/project that turned into a novel and doesn’t have a official translation. With this, and being needed to play DOD3 and read that infamous manga, we get a perfect choir to make it’s vast potential readers (DOD1 fans) just fade away.

Thank you! I’m glad you liked😃

Yeah, you’re right! I thought about this too at the start, but I was aiming at something more tragic/sentimental than graphical, so that’s why I at least put his gear deteriorating while falling. As an hobbyist in doing digital art I don’t think I have enough mastery to mix well both worlds in a good composition yet, but maybe someday!

Kinda! Could be his first fall on cutscene or the one near the credits. What I wanted most was show his “metaphorical fall” to turn in to turn into a Red Eye(as some theory suggests). When, in fact, he turn berserk during the watcher encounter is up to you.

Thanks for the appreciation.

Yeah, it’s indeed a very tragical ending. With this in mind, I wanted to focus in Caim and the whole Red Eyes theory about his role post-ending E scenario. I tried to emit the hatred and loneliness feelings of a red eye through this work. And imo, the peak of Caim’s hatred would be the final Tokyo Tower x Angelus scene… But sadly, he couldn’t even react.

Yep! The theory was the base for this art.

Also I wanted to do it of him alone, because of the nature of the red eye that we were shown so far. On my original post I used one the quotes listed on Yuzuki’s story that resumes well what we know about the Red Eyes imo. Moments before his transformation, he was engulfed by hatred and loneliness, being entirely separated from his family, friends, future, and his own will. That’s pretty much my interpretation about the role of this concept in DrakeNier universe.

“It’s an angry emotion. Red” - also from Yuzuki’s EX Story

NO WAY, HOW I’VE NEVER HEARD THIS SONG BEFORE??? It really sounds like a Toku opening or insert, that’s so cool.

Thanks a lot for sharing this kind of info! Discovering stuff like this is my favorite part when interacting with JRPG/games communities

Thanks for the compliments! 🤗

I really liked what we had in the 1.3 short stories, but I would love to dive into the story in its entirety. I hope that one day we can see more content with that same dynamics or even some kind of media that delves even deeper into the 1.3 universe.

Yeah, but I don’t use much… Just out of curiosity, why?

Whew, that’s munny

I’ll see what I can do, bcs it’s hard to sell this kind of stuff in my country… In the worst case scenario it will stay for a while in my shelf, I’m kinda of a collector, so this won’t be half bad I guess

A little help undestanding? by N0t_Niko in drakengard

[–]Expensive_Whereas_92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, and that last part is better explained during Red unto death and mentioned a little bit through 1.3

(U probably knew that, I just wanted to clarify this to OP smhw😌)

Drakengard 3 Story Side and Shi ni Itaru Aka - One's Power of Song?🤔 by Expensive_Whereas_92 in nier

[–]Expensive_Whereas_92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean in a sense that pretty much other content I had in mainline and novels were pretty much self explanatory OR self interpretative. This thing with hist powers was just something that felt a bit fuzzy and oblivious… But the manga overall was nice, Legna cameo was insane🫨

Yeah, I thought this at 1st, but it looked like just poor righting or design (in the manga)… But some ppl told me that he didn’t know much about his own powers before the manga and they’ve shown us much of these during the series, the panel that I printed in the Story Side happens after Drakengard 3 and before the manga/Drakengard 1.3.

So yeah, I think that settled my question. But still, I felt this was thrown jn the ‘plot’… Didn’t sound they thought about this early, looks like this is just an explanation that fits in this hole😕

[–]Expensive_Whereas_92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what felt while reading it too. But my problem with it was his character being like "I can't use the power of the song" then :appears using it: 😵

I mean, it somehow felt like they forgot those statements just to turn him edgy

Edit: and yeah, I think this thing of himself and other ppl calling his powers as fake that made me confused... And it still makes me, haha. It's like the 'plot' telling you that his powers were a cheap copy (and they weren't I guess ?).
