posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Game developer Square Enix will release its Drag-on Dragoon 3 (Drakengard 3) fantasy action role-playing game for PlayStation 3 in a deluxe 10th Anniversary Box on October 31 for 19,800 yen (US$202). A standard edition will retail for 7,980 yen (US$82).
The 10th Anniversary Box will include the Drag-on Dragoon World Inside production designs, a chip music CD, the "History Films" bonus video content on Blu-ray, a Drag-on Dragoon Novel Prelude, a postcard book, and a download content code.
The game features two sisters named Zero and One with opposite personalities. The violent, pink-eyed Zero has a prosthetic arm and a flower growing from her right eye. The red-eyed One is intellectual with a strong sense of justice. Both are "Utautai" — "goddesses" who descended upon the war-fraught world, wielding magical powers and manipulating music.
The game is being produced by Takamasa Shiba (Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord). Drag-on Dragoon veteran Tarō Yokō is returning to direct the game and write the scenario. Kimihiko Fujisaka (Drag-on Dragoon, Last Story) is designing the characters and monaca's Keiichi Okabe (Tekken, Katamari Damacy) is composing the music.
Two manga adaptations based on the game are running in Square Enix's Young Gangan and Big Gangan magazines.
