I'm going to use this opportunity to give my whole thoughts on Drakengard 3's DLC.

The long and short of it is: fuck off. Seriously! Over 75% of the content in these packs are directly recycled from the main game, almost no new mechanics or enemies are introduced, and they all usually are done in under an hour. At 7 bucks per, this is absolutely unacceptable, and I would not recommend anyone buy these, even real Drakengard and Nier freaks. The only redeeming quality of these packs is the fact that Yoko finally learned what an arc is instead of just having bad things happen all the time and characters just going :0 before resuming their discussions of whatever topic the game devotes far too much time towards (sex, this time around). While none of the information revealed here is in any way essential, every DLC's story except 4 and 5's are generally of good quality. Not great, though, we still have a long ways to go before I consider any of these games to have 'great writing'.
