He had to fight to keep a female protagonist and Zero's eye-flower, as he believes it will offer a different flavor to the story. Yoko 'aims to do neither' while keeping true to the spirit of the Drakengard series. Yoko said that Drakengard fans frequently request a dark story according to surveys from Square-Enix and Shiba personally wants a story like Nier. Shiba believes that it was refused due to a trend at the time which sought to appeal to light gamers with a lighter atmosphere. When he presented the game to Cavia's parent division, AQ Interactive, it was shut down. Shiba had continued to pitch the idea of creating Drag-On Dragoon 3, and he too met difficulties due to Cavia's termination. He was planning to continue expanding the Nier continuity, but his plans were cut short when Cavia disbanded and Yousuke Saito ( Nier's producer) became busy managing Dragon Quest X. In Yoko's eyes, Nier is his personal Drag-On Dragoon 3. Yoko felt that he wasn't up to the task at the time and refused. Is the Intoner's final form stronger than Queen-Beast?īecause if so I don't think Malenia is going to be able to beat someone who has the ability to warp all of space and time to end the world.According to a Famitsu interview, Takamasa Shiba presented the idea of creating a sequel to Drakengard 2 many years ago to Taro Yoko. Now this is an hour long vid but if you just watch the first couple of minutes it should give you a good Idea of their speed.Īt the very least Intoners are faster than The Tarnished even with Bloodhound step (which makes Malenia's fight much easier IMO).Īlso a question for anyone knowledgeable on Drakengard. They can also summon a lot of them and more than one typeĪs for speed I want to say that they're on par if not faster than Malenia. These things can obliterate this asshole, who killed 3 out 5 of the Utahime There is also the fact that Zero could probably summon Angels but that would be very out of character for her.īut just in case she say's 'fuck it' and decides to to summon them anyway.

(Because I'm not quite if she toppled them) It can be used to temporarily paralyze creatures.Ĭry loud enough to shake buildings. Singing or Intoning is the way intoners use their magic. If you want to go on vague visual effects then much slower characters than her were dodging sound projectiles all the way back in the very first zone of the game (like what those giant bats shoot at you). The only one who possibly doesn't count in that statement is Godfrey (who's dead at the time it's said). If you want to invoke direct scaling, Malenia's also stated to be the strongest person in the world alongside Radahn, and practically every boss of note in Elden Ring can shatter thick stone structures like styrofoam. She can swing a 75 kg sword fast enough to reach supersonic speeds at the tip (for an impact in the megajoules) and then do the same thing forty more times in under five seconds, and can somewhat match a 27-foot giant swinging an 8-ton sword at 130+ m/s in a blade clash. I don't know anything about Drakengard, but if the posted feats are Zero's best ones then Malenia should turn her into mincemeat with ease without having to come anywhere close to resorting to Rot. The Scarlet Rot has shown to be able to affect inorganic material like crystal and iron, create life in the form of a parasites called the Kindred of Rot, and when Malenia released the Scarlet Rot after a battle, she spread it to an entire region, creating huge organic constructions and infecting most forms of life, including a dragon to the point that they stopped breathing fire, breathing scarlet rot instead and even changing the sky. Fire and materials that wards divine influence(the weapon and the protesis of Malenia are made of such a material) are the only things that are shown to stop its spread. This influence shows itself in a disease that quickly kills those too weak to resist it, but those that survive continue to rot while also heavily mutating over time, eating away the body and the mind until they eventually die. Click to shrink.Well, I don't know all the details about the flower, but in Elden Ring, the Scarlet Rot is the result of an Outer God trying to spread its influence in the world, reshaping it to its liking.
