But one big difference is how it’s very child like, hence the voice, whom Zero has to protect.Ĭare to elaborate on what you mean? Will it go out of control, like a child sometimes does? I also noticed that Zero’s dragon’s had the voice of a child.ĭragon companions are back in Drakengard 3. Instead of revealing or spoiling anything here… we wanted to let you know that, that sense of sexuality might mostly be conveyed via dialogue rather than her actions. In terms of how we portray the protagonist, there won’t be anything sexual.

Are you at all mindful of how Zero will be received in the West?

In recent years, primarily in America, there has been a great deal of sensitivity towards how female characters are represented. There is relation, between the worlds of Drakengard 3 and Nier, but I can’t talk about that right now. So part three happens first, then part one, then part two. Speaking of story, can you talk more about how the story in Drakengard 3 connects to Drakengard 1, Drakengard 2, and Nier? There are still scenes were you can laugh. We don’t want to turn it into a completely dark story. Takamasa Shiba, Producer: We have a good balance of darkness and humor… there’s actually a good bit of the former, in the in-game dialogue for example. Can you please explain what goes into making a dark story that still engrossing, and without making it so dark and foreboding that it turns people off? I know you can’t go into why Zero wants to kill her sisters at the moment, but it’s clear that the story is quite dark.

Siliconera also asked Shiba about editing content in previous Drakengard games and Valkyrie Profile. After producer Takamasa Shiba demoed Drakengard 3, we talked about Zero, the game’s anti-hero who is on a mission to kill her sisters.
