Nier: Automata x FFXIV collab?

Shunning out those of an opposite opinion is not a good way to get discourse.

As long as they're not "directly" from the game they originally came from, it's all good right?

The only way your idea can work is for the FFXIV team to make the NieR characters natives to the world (thus making a cameo/cross-over event pointless) and have different personalities and motives, since there's no threat of humanity being extinct in Hydaelyn (to some extent).

It just cannot work when you know the backstory to NieR.

I've made a thread on here before saying "who wants a tail toggle option for Miqo'tes and Au Ras" - an option which would be great for those who the tail clipping bothers them with many pieces of equipment and would be extremely easy solution for SE to implement - only to have replies saying to "fantasia into another race if you don't want a tail" (totally ignoring the fact it's only for certain pieces of gear that the clipping is REALLY bad on) or that they are "against" such an option as if it would bother them somehow. Why must everything meet some opposition, where opposition isn't even needed? Surely what should matter when it comes to fan suggestions is enough interest being shown for SE to implement it if they wish to, not how many people saying they're against it. If SE listens to people saying they're against things such as this when it doesn't impact them and lets that cancel out the interest of other fans then that would be disheartening, IMO.

And that is exactly what I would want, I don't see that as pointless.

I say pointless because you're not asking for a crossover at this point. You're just asking for NieR characters to be rewritten so they can work in FFXIV's world (and the way they're rewritten might not be to your liking), which... it can't work because of how Automata (and NieR's backstory) is.

Took a few minutes, but I finally re-found this in regards to cameos (from FF).

• We will never introduce characters that would destroy their meaning or story

• We will not use characters that are already dead or whose role has ended in their title

What I bolded is pretty much why A2, 2B and 9S (and any character from NieR) can never appear in FFXIV and even if they were 'rewritten' to work in XIV... well, you're not even asking for anything from NieR at this point.

Yep. I mean if cosmetic attire is all people REALLY want. Just be lame and plop a few outfits up on Mog Station. Yoko Taro universe just won't mesh well with FF. Less so with XIV.

What I've worked out is that requesting colaboration events in general is pointless. Yoshi P said they take a year to a year and a half to develop, and by that point people would have forgotten Nier, and be clammoring for another event. Unless the dev team have already planned this one, I don't think it will happen.

This happens every single time a major SE game comes out... I remember the "where's the deus ex: mankind divided crossover?" threads

Contrary to this is comments on the FFXV event, though my theory on that is that it has already been in development for a long time, and the dev team are just waiting for the right moment to release it.

Ugh crossover events. Every time we get one I think of calling this game Final Phantasy Star Online XIV. Nier is fun so far. FFXIV is great. But let these games keep their own identity. It makes playing them so much more special in my opinion. I'd cringe at that fact that 2B could somehow make her way to Hydaelyn. Heck, why not let Aloy drop in and override 2B so they can help the WoL take down Griffith before he captures Casca.

Can't wait for the Person 5 crossover event requests in a few weeks. -___-;

Does every fairly new and popular game need a XIV collab nowadays?

I hate collab requests. Collabs should be relegated to final fantasy/final fantasy related games(i.e. kingdom hearts), outside company requests (i.e Garo), and special circumstances (i.e. Yokai and Dragon Quest). None of these can be controlled by the community, and I think that is fair. SE doesn't go out of their way to ask for collabs.

It could just be Accord selling stuffs, don't think too much about it.

can't have a crossover because because no lore excuses, yadda yadda

ehhh, Nier lore has parallel worlds. So practically the same 'convenient lore reason' as the Void *shrug*

I really hope they consider this at some point. Nier has quite a few collab events with other games, it'd be a shame to leave FFXIV out of it.

ALthough this might be biased as I'm currently playing the game and holy shite it's a freaking masterpiece - don't waste this opportunity SE!

I don't see it being impossible, yet will be difficult adding it to ffxiv's lore in a way. Unless garlemeld(misspell......I think) create a device that goes through dimension, time and space, bringing them to eorza while in battle w/ adam and eve. Then asking the WoL to help them bring back to their world before adam/eve not only trying to cause chaos, but to prevent the virus to spread. That's what came to mind.

And this is why we aren't all writers. :P

Parallel world being Drakengard. NieR has only taken place on planet Earth (no alternate realities or anything).

Not saying this to bother you, you know. I finished the game, some others don't. ^^;

I have a feeling they were responding to 'and this is why we aren't writers.'

@Osmond: That cannot work as it did not happen in NieR:Automata (it's making it a continuity error). I love NieR, they are fantastic games (even if the first one was a little iffy with the combat)... therefore, I don't want to see characters shoehorned into FFXIV, as there is no way to make sense of them in FFXIV. The most you can expect is clothing and weapons and nothing more.

Bah, maybe. :p
Hope i didn't hurt her/his feelings, wasn't the point... '-'

I see what you mean. I don't know how they are going to pull it off. Unless they want to release costumes to the mog station if people request it. I think that's a better solution.

Still waiting on that ffxv crossover...

Not against this, but it may be awhile, with FF7, FF15, and a possible KH3 collaboration still in high demand.

maybe the crossover would bring a glamour B-2 butt >.> that joke aside, I would like the outfits hehe.

You mean BRD/MCH and NIN have blindfolds already, I'd love to have it as an "All classes" glam

Bumping because this needs to happen.

This is never gonna happen. Nier hype is gone and the timing is off.

I support this collab =w=)/

Actually, no. Square is already hiring for another Nier project, and the game did gave Square an unexpected profit. So, hope ain't dead yet.

There is already a NieR:Automata "event" in FFXIV. It's

the option to delete your character.

2B(utt), or not 2B(utt), that is the question.

I don’t know anything about that game but.. I’d get the outfits and stuff.

Hell no. /tenchar

Hell yes ..........

On top of the really awesome loot in fan-made FFXIV x Nier: Automata post, I'd also love to have some Lunar Tear flowers as a reward if we ever get a collaboration event:

Perfect for outdoor furnishing.

Or a single flower ( or bouquet) as glam accessory.

I just want Caim outfit :<

I thought they only did Event with other game we didn't really ask for such as Yokai and Garo?
