Drakengard 2 OST - 01 - Symphonic Poem Forbidden Prelude

[@XxExtremeSamX]

0:23 The tone changes from Drakengard 2 to Drakengard 1 in an instant. I like it.

[@kairyuubird]

beautiful right

[@neronihil1710]

Beating Angelus on the hardest difficulty with a broken controller almost gave me an aneurysm. Landing the final hit felt like beating a nightmare and simultaneously loosing a friend. The game was a rare gem

[@segafan1316]

I really want a Drakengard Trilogy remake just how they are remaking Nier Replicant

[@makeaton]

Yoko Taro has openly stated that he'd love to try Drakengard again, but he was being very honest when he said it would need a lot of money. Drakengard was a bit of a niche and barely a hit, so higher-ups aren't just gonna let him do what ever he wants.

@@ernestogastelum9123 the combat system/gameplay, the graphics, the cutscenes probably, rendering everything. Yea, there is a lot but it can be done

[@ArioDragon]

It wont be enough to do the same remaster/half remake thing. It will need to be a full remake. And Square are fucking dicks, that won't give Yoko good budget for his stuff. They gave the bare minimum even to Nier Automata... Which was a surprise hit. But i guess that even after that Square at max is going to give a proper budget only for a new Nier game.

[@GothicXlightning]

1 of the most beautiful soundtracks ever made... I have the horrible nostalgia for Drakengard..thanx for posting brother+

[@EspressosWork]

As much as I adore DOD1 and DOD3's ost this one just has that kick that I can't beat. Thank you for getting the entire OST on here. I couldn't do all of it like I wanted to due to technical limitations of the time 15 years ago.

[@JackieOwl94]

I regret being too young to enjoy Drkengard or the original Nier. I’m glad they had the remake for me to play. I hope a remake is in the works

[@monicav3791]

Back listening to this absolute masterpiece. The OST is amazing!

[@thePettiest1]

That's a seriously beautiful piece!!! The bassoons at 2:20 are so nice! They give it such an entirely different texture from before!! Almost reminds me of Joe Hisaishi ^^

[@InfernoNick17]

I still remember this is both when it was in the startup intro of the game to a near endgame stage of fighting off against hordes of holy dragons and other evils in order to get to a Paradise mountain for ending A, throughout two new game plus for endings B and C.

[@x-menwelcometodie624]

So god damn good and very underrated But that is sadly that infinite realm of OST

[@HighYouseF]

I don’t understand why everybody hates this game, Is it because it wasn’t directed by Yoko Taro ? Idk but this game looks really interesting and the soundtracks are very great I hope for a remaster someday.

[@Garl_Vinland]

You had to play NieR automata three times

[@Ace-jl2sw]

@@Garl_Vinland yeah but the gameplay is diff

[@literallyjustchickensandwich]

No, it’s just bad, nothing to do with yoko

[@tyrayentali7041]

Story is rather weak compared to other games and the true ending is bad. The conclusion of the game just doesn't hit at all.

[@novustalks7525]

It's not canon, it's story made no sense, they made it generic and the opposite of what the other games are like

[@AspieGamer1986]

This is the first game in the Drakengard series i bought 8 years ago. Then i got the first title 8 months later.

[@Oggre]

2020 I want a remaster for this game please !!

Sephiroth: Oh...this is cool.

There are so many reasons why this game is utterly god awful, but if there's one undeniable thing this game did right, is that when it soundtrack hits, it _hits._

[@cannonxd9855]

Everyone hating on drakengard 2 for no reason as well saying the story time line was the worse when it makes no sense to me how from 1 we went to 3 and not 2 I haven't play drakengard 1 but I've seen the complete walk through with all cutscenes and In my opinion it wasn't better than drakengard 2. The cinematics the combat and the updated textures were much better even than 3 cause 3 is all about zero killing her sisters. Sadly my ps2 is half broken and same with the disc I can't end the game as I should be after I kill Legna the screen turns black after saying misusing complete sad the game is half broken. It's my favorite game of all time and it will always be in cheering on for a remake on drakengard 2 and 1 as well.....

[@OddHaberdasher]

Well, I mean, we didn't go from 1 to 3. Drakengard 3 is a prequel to the other games. As for whether Drakengard 2 is better, that sort of thing is always subjective. Drakengard 1 was a very unique experience, especially for the time. It gave an utterly disturbed main character who kills thousands over the course of the game and enjoys it without remorse (as opposed to most such stories where the MC either blithely ignores the massacres they commit or takes a few minutes to angst after each one). It had party members who were equally unlikable, each for their own reasons. It had music that could best be described as an auditory descent into madness. It outright punished you for not being satisfied with your 'happy ending' by subjecting to stranger and worse endings as you progressed, culminating in Ending E (and on that note, it's definitely not a coincidence that people like the game whose ending led to the Nier series). The gameplay was absolute trash, even by the standards of the genre, but the story, the experience, elevated it above the rest. Drakengard 2, by contrast, has a very generic protagonist and the story is not even half as batshit insane as Drakengard 1 gets to be. Everything else was improved (slightly), from the more involved combat to music (that wasn't designed to grate your ears), true. Without the story, though, it's just another cookie-cutter JRPG. Forgettable. Which is not a word one can use for Drakengard 1 in any way. As I said, this thing is subjective, you can disagree. I just wanted to make the point that there are reasons to dunk on Drakengard 2. I would also suggest that (judging by your description of Drakengard 3) that you've never played/watched Drakengard 3 and should get right on that. Maybe even get to the Nier series as well. I share your desire for Drakengard 1 to get a remake. Drakengard 2 I can take or leave.

[@cannonxd9855]

@@OddHaberdasher I've watched the whole game play of drakengard 3 and I didn't quite like it caus eof the difference between 1 and 2 but also in saying that because of a video explaining the story of drakengard and nier and it said that drakengard 2 is the most off point story form the 3 games and it makes no sense to me how drakengard 3 has a story that sticks to drakengard 1 more. I started watching Nier but didn't finish it but I've finished watching Nier: Automata all endings I've aslo played it but not the whole game only on a net Cafe.

[@notkurumi]

Everyone hating on D2 but prolly none of them ever played it. I agree that its good and i like both D1 and D2 but D3 oh god its soo meh. Its just feeling like playing a completely other franchise with waifu bs. I would love to see a D1+2 remake but lets be real, its just never gonna happen.

[@Garl_Vinland]

3 was Taro trolling everyone. He never makes the same game twice and people “made” him make a sequel to Drakengard so he said “fine, here you go.” What would you even want in a DG sequel? Caim 2.0? Maybe a protagonist who beats and rapes his gf and is trying to “rescue” her or something edgy like that? NieR Automata hardly has anything to do with NieR, it’s mainly Taro just wanting to make the Touhou game he always dreamed of. I don’t think he has any love for the Drakengard series anymore

[@granixo]

​@@OddHaberdasher Yeah, the gameplay is generic (except for the fact you can ride a freaking dragon!) Anyways i love this game.

This game was SOOOOOO much better then drackengard 3, its ridiculous

Drakengard 3’s dialogue wasn’t so good. Too modern and naughty compared to this. The dialogue in this one matched the setting.
