Nier: Automata based raid. I believe they gave Yoko Taro full control of the story and designs? The planning in general.

There's 3 Nier raids. They can't all drop 2b and 9s gear. This will probably be the first tier's gear

It'll be 5.1 dungeon gear or 5.2 tome gear not the 24 man

I wonder what sort of dungeon would drop that gear, though. At this point in the story we seem to have stepped away from any settings that would use that sci-fi tech style, unless we're going back to the Source and breaking into Garlean facilities or something.

I'm more curious to see what the Dev team have done with Tank/Caster/Healer/Ranged/Melee versions will look like of each of the winner sets.

Can't help but think the outfit isn't going to translate well, kind of how they took WAY too many artistic liberties with the caster set, but hopefully they can make it work, honestly kind of bummed the wonderful bancho set didn't win (Delinquent Striker I think it was called) I would absolutely love to see them pull off that set.

Otherwise, I'm really excited to see the ranged outfit, hope its implemented soon, I love me some stylin steampunk attire.

Yep! Yoko Taro even played through FF14 in preparation for it and tweeted out a lot of his experiences. To the surprise of no one, he also hates Toto-Rak.

Apparently we'll be hearing more during the Tokyo Gameshow?

"They don't change much between gender"

I love Toto-rak with new players~! Bit funny though when everyone is way beyond it and we're wondering who queued for it :p (don't hate it then but I would have been fine with a faster dungeon).

Also bit of a nostalgic dungeon to get sometimes because it was in 1.0 too :3 (not that I'm asking for 1.0 classic servers or something xD, just fun to think back "back in my day" type moment).

I'm also fully aware that Konami and Square Enix are 2 different companies making 2 different games, but thanks for the information. Do I like some of the other designs too? Absolutely. But I have no issue with the winner they chose. Some like it, some don't and that's totally fine. Welcome to living with the rest of the human race where we all have different likes and dislikes.

Most of the time yes, although it does have to be said that a setting is normally improved by keeping to a relatively cohesive aesthetic.

I'm not thrilled about the winning set, but I don't hate it either, and I have faith that the designers can make it fit in the world of FFXIV.

its really not much of a stretch to fit that gear in ff14..

I just hope the boots aren't quite as thick as in the original art, or the rest of the armor is scaled to match them. Feels like a skin suit and then mecha legs at present.

But, with a Automata-themed 24-man raid coming up... hard for it not to find a way to fit.

Wow the new ranged gear looks amazing!!!

I like the look of the aiming set. Shame about the melee set, it's going to be another Lost Allagan lookalike that people glamour over.
