However, given the reception and controversial elements of the original series, it's also a giant risk for Square Enix to fund.Īs a result, the potential for Drakengard remakes is connected directly to the success of NieR Replicant ver.1.22. While NieR Automata is a game designed with modernized mechanics in mind, the original NieR suffered from frustrating repetitiveness and awkward pacing the same way that the Drakengard games did. Everyone knows that Drakengard could benefit from modernized mechanics in remakes and that the explosive popularity of NieR makes it a more likely candidate each passing day.

With the success of the NieR series however, it seems that the Drakengard series could benefit from a modernization as well.ĭespite the jokes that Yoko Taro likes to make about Drakengard, it's clear that the series is important to NieR. In the newest Final Fantasy 14 YorHa raid that Yoko Taro wrote, there's purposely a number of Drakengard references scattered amongst the NieR lore. Furthermore, some of the Drakengard games have been plagued with performance issues and technical limitations which turn off potential players. Though it has its charms, the vast majority of players find the mechanics repetitive or clunky.

The problem with the Drakengard series is that while the storylines are phenomenal, the gameplay can often be frustrating.
