Yes, you can! Like Job877 pointed out, the game has dual audio. Wow, I must have misread? Isn't that explained in the review? Guess not. Another example of how lazy this text was. Unbelievable.
@Angry_Mushroom I was trying to comment on this on my previous comment, but it got deleted.
The game feels like Akihabara. You can see trailers of the anime series that were airing at the time the game was released in Japan on the streets, you get real life flyers that were once delivered all over Akihabara when completing sidequests, there are even real life shops. You cannot peruse inside at all, but you have Softmap, Animate, etc. It is very accurate, I assure you. The game really represents Akihabara well. I can tell because I've been there myself and I remember Akihabara every time I play this game, which is a wonderful feeling.
The dub hmmm, that could actually have been a bad aspect of this game. The dub, while I've heard worst, it's not very good. Specially Nana really, really sounds like a 50-year old lady. I was disappointed with the dubbing.
Lazy, lazy review. I bet this guy doesn't even know what Akihabara is or what is means to some people. If he knew, he at least would be able to appreciate this game a little. But no, all I read is filled with hate and no facts or strong reasons for this 4/10 bad score. Really, really mediocre review.
Personally, I'm no fan of 1st-person dungeon crawlers. Got to admit though, I enjoyed Demon Gaze a lot more than I expected. This one... yeah, not so much. It felt extremely familiar in many aspects but I was never able to pinpoint the source of the feeling because of how vague it was. The game didn't have it's own feel to it, so I didn't bother anymore.
@Karlinel @vault2049 Yeah. I played NIER first and loved it, then went back and played both, Drakengard 1 and Drakengard 2. You definitely see the relation between both games after you watch Ending E on Drakengard and off some some back-story used on NIER, but it feels just like a possibility out of many that might have happened and nothing vital or anything, a side story, an alternate route.
You can play Drakengard 3 first and you will not notice there were games before it (and, like I said, it is a prequel to the first game). You'll probably feel much 'at home' when playing the previous games, but that's it.
@Penguinlord1 The story of NIER comes from Drakengard's ending E. I would not say the story is "tied" but there are tenuous similarities and the back story feels really... the same in a curious way. You'll notice a lot of familiar stuff on Drakengard 3 even though this is prequel to the original Drakengard game, you'll feel at home immediately during the prologue, specially if you liked NIER. All 3 games mentioned had the same director, unlike Drakengard 2.
