YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse (Pre-5.1 Speculation)

Would fit in with the whole more aliens/rift in space.

Omg yes to the moose mount and a Pod minion would be cool.

YoRHa has become the Machine Lifeforms?!

Ahem.

Stuff we're likely to get from the raids:

• Iconic outfits (2B, 9S, Adam, Eve, maybe A2)
• Minions (Emil, Machine Lifeform, Pod, Wind-up (2B/9S/A2/Adam/Eve/Pascal)

If they do add weapons, they'll probably be purchased for MGP after clearing a certain section of the series, like how the Lexentales' hairstyles can be purchased after clearing the Orbonne Monastery. Prime candidates would include:

• Grimoire Weiss (SCH)
• Grimoire Nero (SMN)
• Virtuous Treaty / Cruel Oath (SAM)
• Beastlord (DRK)

... given my experience with Yoko Taro's games is limited to NieR: Automata, I won't venture further guesses. And feel kind of left out.

Really tho? I'll be happy if I can just get the YoRHa "goggles." The Head Bandage is a poor substitute.

Throwing down my Theories on how this raid will even try to make sense

- In a dark version of when yoshi-P drops in game during the Rising, Yoko Taro and/or Yosuke Saito will drop in and kidnap us and some NPC's to the world of Neir where we have to fight our way through to save said NPC's

-it isn't a "Neir: Automata crossover" even because Yorha is the extremely far future of FF14, Like how return to Ivalice is the past of FF14, Yorha is the future we're somehow flung into and forced to fight through/help "save" (once again because some unlucky bystander NPC and the WoL/D's tendency to save people)
Link to this theory made by me: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ce-raid-theory

All I know is that if there's not some way to get Grimoire Weiss / Noir as SCH / SMN weapons, I'll be (the wrong kind of) heartbroken.

Ooh, but what about the good kind of heartbroken? I think a new incarnation of Devola and Popola could rek me all over again.

(And how many people would wear Zero's face flower? We already have them bears.)

I haven't thought about Devola and Popola as possible raid bosses. Now i'm sad...

Angelus is actually a good candidate for a boss and a even better one for a mount...

I think most stuff will be limited to just Nier tho and mostly out of Automata. There's already plenty of cool bosses and characters and things there to make content out of.

But then again this IS Yoko Taro we are talking about. Anything could happen.

you guys are discussing a lot about allag, but considering what we know so far, the civilization closest to the reality of NIER is the same which builded Omega.
But also I think very unlikely something like this can happen. as unlikely as a highly advanced robotic appearing in eorzean... so, it's hard to predict

That's one of my theories.
NIER is gonna be the creators of Omega, thus Omega will be the link between them and Allagans.
But that would mean either traveling to that impossible world... Well, Omega did try to communicate back to his homeworld before he was out of their reach. If omega had super luminous comms, then yeah, there is a chance. If he didn't well, might pass a few thousand years before they know about his last position and direction.

BTW, do eorzeans utilize the concept of Galaxy?

i have no idea. final fantasy things are difficult to predict.
because there is no solid logic. Everything is relative.
We can even imagine that we are going to an alternative reality that allag was not extinguished.

but honestly, I hate time travel. because there is no way to avoid creating paradoxes. and most games / movies do not create enough complex script ... and that leaves many loose ends.

The biggest thing I wonder about myself is if anything about the Watchers will make it in. The refrences to them in NieR were just that and they had no bearing on the plot (except for maybe the Logic Virus.) But if anything was gonna stick in our minds beyond just "Hey it NieR!" It would be giant cannibalistic babies.

And connected to that, the Intoners. Thematically they work somewhat like the Primals do which would make them good bosses for us to fight, and fall into our job description as Scions.

inb4 throughout the raid series friend and foe alike fall victim to an unexplained mindjack-hivemind phenomenon - represented by a red aetherial glow in the eyes - whose connection, if any, to the red-eyed virus, logic virus, Watchers, etc. is left completely unaddressed except for a few potential hints in a 2021 found-footage-format puppet show.

As long as I don't have to deal with lala sized screaming suicide robots or robots that jump to their death because their god is dead while i helplessly watch on I'm fine. Though what would be interesting is if we get any pov changes or if it could happen in XIV.
