A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as Intoners have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions.

Creative Director Taro Yoko explores this subject on why a video game protagonist defeats hordes of his or her enemies in the special launch day video interview. He recounts how he has sought to resolve this question throughout the Drakengard series as well as the spin-off title NIER. The full interview is available at http://youtu.be/9kTVa-JOyGA.
