With Drakengard 3 out next week in North America, I thought it’d be a good time to connect with MoNACA studios founder Keiichi Okabe about his work on the project. After being amazed by their score for NieR, I wondered what they would have in store for fans upon returning to that same universe.
They don’t disappoint, as you can read in our review of the score.
While I never really got into Drakengard, NieRhas made me a fan of the universe forever. I actually enjoyed the music from the first two Drakengard titles despite not having played them at length, so when Drag-On Chips Music was announced to commemorate ten years of the franchise, I had to have it.
I think this is easily one of the most anticipated soundtracks of 2014 for soundtrack enthusiasts. After MoNACA’s amazing work on the soundtrack to NieR, we have all been looking forward to their return visit to the Drag-On Dragoon universe. The entire team is back for more, including vocalist Emi Evans, so I certainly had high hopes.
