This wasn't the article I was originally looking for, but it's a nice assessment on Zero as a character, and Drakengard 3. It's so refreshing to see/play female characters that don't have to be likeable. Taro's female characters are flawed, vile, angry, brave, funny, confident, and both Kaine and Zero go through a ton of character development. I've always wanted a female equivalent of Trevor in GTA, and I think Zero is the closest. Yeah, no one quite does female characters like Taro. P.P.S: I have played the demo 3 times, and need to get back in FFXV (my Xmas present) but it's all I think about hehe This game, if it is anythng like or better than its demo, will be goty material for me. Not seeing anything objectionable, I let the kids watch through after they were drawn in by the music and sound effects, and we all went from one jaw drop wtf moment to another, until is was over too soon.Įverybody needs to play that F*ing demo. The design is glorious, gameplay fantastic, music score left me wanting for more and the setting and atmosphere really clicked for me. It went on my radar from a 'maybe, if reviews are raving about it' to 'F* yeah! Wh. I have no knowledge of Taro's work, never played Drakengard or the previous Nier, and all I knew was that it would be weird and action Jrpg ish.Īll the talk about the sexualized/ fetish stuff was not really enticing me either tbh. I have played the demo for the first time today, after hesitating for the longest time to do so.

Nier automata hwo to see 2b's ass
