** Related to the above; what do those infected by WCS in {{VideoGame/NieR}} hear? Bells. Bells that figure ''heavily'' into Drakengard's soundtrack. The implications are nightmarish.

It's not the same voice actor in Drakengard 2, the whole voice cast was recast from an american cast to a british one


** It gets worse in the sequel. Because the voice actor has gotten better at it, it sounds so much more horrifying.

* The cutscene before the FinalBoss fight in the Ending E route. Imagine if you will: you're just a regular person in Tokyo going about your business, then all of the sudden, the clouds lights up and a giant naked lady thing tumbles out of the sky, crushing the buildings beneath it like cardboard. Oh, and there's a dragon. And even if the giant naked lady thing is destroyed, its remains eventually lead to ThePlague and everything that transpires in ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}''. Needless to say, Tokyo citizens are having a ''very'' bad day at that point.

** The main theme of the game, “Growing Wings”, deserves a mention of its own. It’s an incredibly horrifying fusion of staccato violins and slightly out of tune, yet gentle female singing, making it as discordant as they come.

* The credits of Ending E. It's just...[[SilenceIsGolden silence]]. No ending music. Just the white noise of traffic in Tokyo and eerie static as the credits roll. And at the end, the camera pans down...to show Angelus' body impaled upon Tokyo Tower. Sweet dreams!

* Special mention must also go to the soundtrack. Never has remixed classical music been so ''terrifying.''

*[[CreepyChild Manah.]] A child controlling an entire empire, possessed by malignant gods, and constantly shifting between her natural voice and a very deep, almost bored sounding male voice. Hearing an older man saying “Lalalalala” in a monotone voice should be funny, but here it comes off as just... wrong.
* Special mention must also go to the soundtrack. Never has remixed classical music been so ''terrifying.'' Descriptions of it tend to relate to things like violins being punched and orchestras being thrown down flights of stairs which, while comical, is also scarily accurate.

* TheReveal of the Watchers: Giant, stony babies that eat people invade the world. Scarier than it sounds.
** They ''eat'' Arioch. The {{irony}} of this is quite stark. And [[http://lparchive.org/Drakengard/Update%2053/ the LP]] by LetsPlay/TheDarkId provides us with concept art showing [[WhatCouldHaveBeen that it would've been WORSE]].
* Six words: "The Watchers laughed! The Watchers laugh!" Never before has a simple switch in word tense sounded so...''unnerving''.
* Special mention must also go to the soundtrack. Never has remixed classical music been so ''terrifying.''
* Furiae in Ending B when she's "reborn". The page image.
** Ending B in general is a massive horror show. Not only does Caim have to fight an insane Furiae reborn as a weird angel-demon hybrid, but what comes afterward is even worse. After an incredibly tough battle, Caim holds a now-deceased Furiae, and can only grimly watch as ''[[FromBadToWorse countless clones of the angel Furiae]]'' rise from the ground, screaming in agony. Keep in mind that Caim and Angelus were only barely able to defeat the original Furiae, and the thought of fighting a horde of them makes it clear that Caim and humanity as a whole are doomed.
* [[GainaxEnding I. Hear. A. Sound.]]
* Caim is both a MemeticBadass and an absolute terror, as he slaughters anything and everything Imperial that gets in his path with either extraordinary rage or a [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/drakengard/images/f/ff/Caim_03.png/revision/latest?cb=20140118153527 massive]] SlasherSmile. Best displayed when [[ChildSoldier young, forcefully conscripted men are dropped into his path.]] Because they happen to be on the Imperial side, Caim doesn't even hesitate for a second to [[WouldHurtAChild slaughter them all]]. It's a wonder he ''didn't'' strike [[BigBad Manah]] down when he had the chance.
* The ending of Ending E. It's just...[[SilenceIsGolden silence]]. No ending music. Just the white noise of traffic in Tokyo and eerie static as the credits roll. And at the end, the camera pans down...to show Angelus' body impaled upon Tokyo Tower. Sweet dreams!
