After the current 24 man, I'm slightly worried.

I don't know a thing about Nier. I've never played any of them. I'm not sure how I feel about FFXIV now having another games world worked into the History or World of FFXIV. Other final fantasys like FF3 or 12 and Tactics worked... but Nier doesn't really have a connection to the FF franchise that I'm aware of. However if we are going to Garlamald maybe YoRHA will be some resistance group like NORA in FF13. Garleans tend to be very Shinra esq so maybe YoRHA will be a group that thinks Ceruleum is the life blood of the planet or something. OR... SPOILERS for 4.5
Maybe since the Garleans are dealing with cloning the story will concern the clones trying to stop being used as cannon fodder or something.
hmm the stinger at the end of RtI suggested looking at the tartarus which is a gateway to other places might be we get sucked through a big one and go to nier automata's world
I look forward to the new and interesting ways Yoko Taro will make me even more depressed as I take my character out the back behind Ul'dah and put a bullet in them to get the best ending in the final raid in 5.5
I can't wait for the Nier inspired coats and asscapes.
YoRHA are basically an organization of highly-advanced androids who are fighting against an invasion of robots (Who for the most part are very inhuman-looking to differentiate them from the androids) on Earth to liberate it so their human creators can return from the moon.
Of course, as with all of Yoko Taro's works, it's never as simple as it sounds.
I also struggle to think of how they'll fit them into XIV's setting unless they go with the "Allagans did it" explanation yet again.
I can't wait to get trolled.
It will need a lot of careful and precise work to make it fit into XIV.
Considering how the Ivalice series despite being from an FF game didn't fit very well into XIV I expect Nier to further stray away from XIV's feeling.
I prefer more XIV original content.
