Remake of Furiae's final boss battle in ending B of Drakengard , recreated in 2D using After Effects in the style of games like Earthbound and Final Fantasy! Music is Emily Fitch's cover of Seere's Prayer ( / @retrotv5000 )
I am happy that Nier: Automata and Nier: Replicant Remake were able to bring more people to the franchise, it surely deserves all the love that is getting.
This is SO cool. But maybe the music is a bit too heroic. This is his sister he's fighting after all. And in ending B, he chooses to stop fighting and peacefully accepts the world ending, because he can't take fighting his sister endlessly.
Let me see if I can recreate it again, based around the sleepy girl. In her case however, it's more centered around self-harm, which she seems to develop later after repressing it for a long time: -I'm sleepy. I'm always sleepy. The world is dangerous and makes me sleepy. I don't want to stay in it ! -Allu (her older sister), I'm.. -Sleepy. Allu, why won't you put me to sleep forever ? Hold me in your arms, and then put my hoodie on. You won't have to look while you do it. -Hey ! You stop making that stuff up about my sister ! -Allu...(The younger sister begins crying as she struggles to stay awake) -I had Four eyes's dog bite me, but it did nothing. I still wanted to sleep to stop the fear. Do it Allu ! Cuddle me, put my hoodie on to cover my face, and then hold my neck ! -Stop it ! (She tries to punch Manah, but fails) -Always beating softly. Always using everything as your drum, even me... Yet you never use your strength to put me at ease permanently. Do it ! -Allu... -Huh !? -I'm...sorry. -So, her mom isn't enough to keep her here anymore. What will you do now ? In short, what that woman of "Evangelion" did. First, she chokes Manah. Then...well, not sure about suicide, since she doesn't learn of Rin's secret until it's too late, not to mention she's part of her orchestra, but something in her would certainly snap. Then again, snapping could have her forget that oath.
I recently finished an anime called "Lost Song"... And I just MUST recreate this scene, with all characters at their worst: -I'm just a boy. A scientist... What's this ? This dirt ? Al (the protag's foster brother): ...No... -Why do you want others happy so badly ? Why throw yourself to harm ? Forget Finis and stay. Forget Finis and stay ! Please, don't sing anymore. Please, embrace me...Rin. Rin: Al ? -I can see into your heart. -No ! Stop it ! -Smoke won't shut me up. I'm no man ! Men use swords and ride horses ! I hate them ! I'm a four eyed weirdo ! Otherwise you wouldn't see me as your brother ! Al: No, please... -Please... I hate this world ! It needs destroying ! I'll never be Leobolt ! Please, embrace me Rin ! -I'm sorry ! -So, you failed at playing the man of the team. You can't save the one you love, because she doesn't want to be saved. What now ? I'm not sure he would commit suicide, since he's not a seal like Furiae...but since the world is ending in the anime, I guess he would want to go out on his terms.
