GameplayDrakengard 2 features a number of refinements and enhancements designed to make the game better than its predecessor. For instance, in the original game, the player could only regain health by causing health orbs to generate after chaining enough attacks together, and each stage featured a strict time limit in which the objectives needed to be met. The sequel eases things by allowing the player to purchase and equip health and magic restoration items before beginning each stage, and the time limits have been done away with almost entirely. Furthermore, should the player's character die, Drakengard 2 will retain all experience gained over the course of play should the player elect to try the stage again.The original Drakengard featured exactly sixty-five unique weapons to collect over the course of the game, and finding every last one of them was a requirement to see all five of the game's different endings. However, the process of collecting the weapons was seen by many as tedious and somewhat frustrating, and so Drakengard 2 simplifies the process by making many of the weapons in the game available for purchase in village shops. Purchasing a weapon only requires that the player has stockpiled enough gold to buy it.One change that Drakengard 2 makes that is not universally accepted is the alteration to the stage selection feature. The original game featured the ability to revisit any stage at any time, but the storyline of Drakengard 2 is presented in a linear fashion that prevents the player from revisiting story-specific missions.

Feb 15, 2006  Drakengard 2 Review Drakengard 2 improves upon the original game, but it retains some of the same problems found in the original.

This is mitigated somewhat by the existence of free expedition, or basic missions that utilize many of the same maps as the story missions, but the player must either replay through the game from scratch or keep a save file prior to a specific story mission in order to play it again.Plot Characters Playable NameDescriptionVoiceノウェKnight of the Seal who was raised by General Oror and Legna.

Said to be the Imperial dragon that killed Caim's parents and the pact partner of Inuart from the previous game (Legna is originally described as a Blue dragon, but later evolves into a black dragon).

The cast of Drakengard 2.Trivia. Apparently the and the are in a war to determine who will rule the world. The dragons seem to be ruled by angelic entities known as the or the arch dragons. The gods seem to be the opposite of the holy dragons as they seem to resort to demonic practices such as possessing, and seem to identify themselves as 'I' and 'us' interchangeably while speaking through Manah. In the first game evolves into stronger forms, due to her pact with, but in Drakengard 2, she is seen in her 3rd stage form since her chaos dragon form could only be acquired on the third ending path of Drakengard. (The Chaos form being an alternate 3rd form, from the 2nd stage dragon).

Keeping with the first game, the map is once again a map of Europe, specifically Eastern Europe. Unlike the first game, however, the map has not been flipped. stage is a recreation of one of the stages from the original. It was the home of Caim's sister, the former goddess. The first time the stage is visited during the Drakengard 2 storyline, the player begins just outside the entrance to the goddess's chamber on the top floor.

Strap in, kids. It's going to get fucking weird..
What the hell is a Drakengard?
Drakengard is a third person beat-em-up/aerial shooter released in September of 2003 for the Sony Playstation 2. It..somehow..saw a really crappy sequel in 2005 for the same console. The title in question is a dark fantasy (and I don't mean Bioware's Mickey Mouse definition of the term word. There is nothing lighthearted to be found in this game. At all.) centering around a bloodthirsty sociopath named Caim as he struggles to murder the shit out of the evil Empire and the increasingly batshit crazy forces lurking in the shadows behind them.
Jun Iwasaki, president and chief executive officer of Square-Enix USA, described Drakengard as a 'perfect hybrid of genres' due to its blend of action, character growth influenced by role-playing games, and a 'solid story that binds it all together'. According to him, the game is intended to appeal to gamers looking for a 'deeper action game'.
Jun Iwasaki is a fucking idiot. Drakengard is a terrible game -- absolutely awful. It isn't fun. At all. There is no fun to be found here. Look elsewhere for fun. It is a muddy hybrid of a half-assed Dynasty Warriors clone meets a poor man's knock off of Panzer Dragoon coupled with an unbearably dull grind fest.
So, why should you care? I'll tell you why. Drakengard is a product of the Enix half of Square-Enix (it was developed prior to the merger). However, the actual development was farmed out to a little company called 'Cavia Inc.' Cavia is a little development sweatshop which Enix, Capcom, and assorted anime license holders throw games to for a quick buck. Capcom, in particular, commissioned a game which is near and dear to my heart:
Resident Evil: Dead Aim
Those familiar with that particular spin-off title ought to know of the depths of we are diving to. For those unprepared..strap in..
No.. What the hell is a Drakengard?
Oh.. I have no idea. The game was titled 'Drag-On Dragoon' in Japan. A fitting name, really. Some marketing suit decided that had a negative sound to it and thus the nonsense word of Drakengard was dubbed the new title. It was probably that prick Jun Iwasaki. That guy is such an asshole.
What's so 'What the Fuck' worthy about this game?
Take your pick: Exploding fairies, a stage devoted to killing children, giant magic eggs, a fifty story tall little girl, nukes, apocalypse by evil clones, a variety of the less pleasant '-philia' types, Notspain. All are just the tip of the iceberg.
Hey, what happened to finishing Onimusha 3?
I'll go back and finish Onimusha 3 after I finish this. That thread was considered haunted and there is a certain buffer to be had when dealing with specters, ghouls, and other assorted malevolent spirits. Also, I wasn't having fun with it so meh.
There is more that is going to crop in this section but let's just get started. Don't be fooled by the humble beginnings..
What's are stance on spoilers in here?
I don't care if you talk about them. Just use spoiler tags or a warning if you're linking to something that is a spoiler. Unmarked spoilers of junk we've yet to get to will piss me off. Don't be a jerk. (Edit: This is now an official rule on the subforum.)
