Surprise! Drakengard 3 (aka; how to damn "nier" lose your shit about old title)

[Yggdrasil]

Bumping for promiscuous news and bad news (for tri-Ace and SaGa fans anyway).

Drakengard 3's lead character is rather promiscuous / Drakengard 3's Apostles (famitsu scans)

"We recently reported that Drakengard 3's protagonist, Zero, will have other allies aside from dragons to help fight on the battlefield. They're male characters called "Apostles," who we’ve briefly described. This week's issue of Dengeki gives us a closer look.

According to Dengeki, the Apostles serve the role of... satiating Zero's sexual desires. She can also take along two of them to help out on the battlefield."

Not surprised at the lack of another SaGa game (Squeenix has pretty much canned everything from its pre-merger days save for DQ and FF), and I believe that the world can do without a 5th Star Ocean game (hell, we already have Final Fantasy for the futuristic space "Syfy" and pants-on-head retarded plots quota now), though I would be remiss about the lack of another Profile, but given that they didn't shut down the possibility of another Resonance of Fate game, I'm not worried about that either.
