To do: Pretty much everything that's not covered here.

Drakengard, known as Drag-On Dragoon in Japan, is a hybrid musou & 3D flying shooter by Cavia. The game is known for its disturbing story and cast, its harsh and experimental soundtrack, and for being the first game directed by the very unconventional director Yoko Taro.

Unused Models

This rather simplistic unused cat model is actually based off the old 2chan meme Mona, and is found in the file file14_CAIM.fpk. It's not known what this model was used for, but since Yoko Taro (the writer of this game) is widely reputed as a genius troll, perhaps this model's presence is appropriate.

An unused model which appears to be Neo from "The Matrix". The name of this file is file12_CAIM.fpk. It's also unclear what the purpose of this model was for.

Unused Graphics

A graphic that's used for testing.

Some interesting files are found within the "FILE_1074.fpk" archive file, present in the IMAGE.BIN file from the PAL region ISO file.
A title screen, most likely a placeholder, is found within "FILE_1074.fpk" as "FILE_116.zim". (.zim is the custom image format used in this game for the image files).

Early in-game screenshots of what seems to be test cutscenes, found once again within "FILE_1074.fpk" as "FILE_28.zim" and "FILE_29.zim". These scenes never take place in-game, and Inuart is called "Eris", a character from Drakengard 2.
