How many weeks do we need to keep doing the Nier weekly quest?

Different things are patched in at different times. The preorder exp buff gear, mount and minion are likely already in game to insure that preorder rewards are deliverable even if 5.55 and 5.58 end up delayed. They likely also included the next two seasonal events to avoid what happened last year even though they should occur after 5.55 and 5.58 are released.

If they are planning to add a Yorha trial they might be delaying it to release with 5.55 or 5.58.

If they won’t even give us a 9s glam, aka the other protag for the game the raid is about, i highly doubt we’d get this. It seems to be solely 2b 2b 2b.

Emil head helmet or mini-pet or this isn't a real crossover.

The dwarves did make tanks and they are collecting all this scrap metal. Perhaps a mount is in our future again.

Might be salvaged and repaired. Seeing as how The Bunker is just laying there and still on fire, the hangar still has several Flight Units hanging on the wall.

"Dwarf: None of the weapons work. There's some weird blinking lights and some loud, deafening noises here and there in the joints but it should still be okay right?"

Isn't that a bit dramatic? Unless you're treating it like a "File Erased" situation like NieR games make you do.

Wishful thinking. Much like how a lot of us are hoping we get Flight Unit mounts. I don't hold my breath on this. I'm hopeful tho...

This!! We need Emil in the game, right now.

As expected the weekly finished a week before 5.55
No rewards, just the 6th Konogg log that is quite foreboding but hey, something has to come next week, right?

Im at a loss to understand where this leaves us, to be honest. I got the 6th message..but theres no resolution here, no real coda.

Odds are the next message will probably be "I've made a huge mistake" or we get nothing and find out from Pod that Konogg has been killed for pulling an Inuart and then we'll get a Trial (as is tradition for .55 content).

Uh yeah?? That's my answer to this question:

"if the final massage contained the blueprints for the flight unit but you needed to run the nier raids 100 times would you do it ?"

I personally won't do it because the Gabriel mount is similar enough to flight unit for me, and even if it didn't, I still won't touch nier raid more than what I need to do. If you want to do it, go ahead? What's the problem here?

Update, the quests end this week.
And we don't get anything from them. They are and always were just some cute little quests about rebuilding Komra.

until the nier civilization rises to overthrow their dwarven creators and we get another raid ;) if anything anime and video games has taught me that meddling with alien technology generally ends badly

Imagine if these quests were actually useless to Nier conclusion.
Nah, but I believe they simply don't bring anything to the story beyond "Someone is always mad and they ran away" + Komra rebuilt.

6 weeks for that and Konogg's messages.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised that Konogg's friend is alive, just lost their memories or something.
And that the angry dwarf was actually Anogg, or some poor story like that. And everyone would clap.

There is some sort of epilogue in 5.55. I don't know if it's going to require more weekly quests to get to or not though lol.

I'm literally only still doing it each week to feed my neurosis and check the box. :/

Konogg's "friend" is his dead twin sister that was replaced with an android facsimile, and we already know Glagg isn't Anogg considering we first ran into him during the quest after the WoL and G'raha had to escort the little Tholl fellow to some ore veins that were in Gogg territory.

I know the story presentation's been piss-poor so far (and if you think you're annoyed, you don't even want to know how mad I am about this expansion's alliance raid series having such a lackluster storyline), but at least try to keep the plot points straight.

I can only hope that maybe 5.55 will have some final quest that actually ties everything up into a cohesive and satisfying conclusion, but chances of that happening are hilariously slim at best.

No worries, their gender isn't even the same if I remember well, it was just an example with a touch of jest.
Anogg survival still seems unlikely, no body is always a potential survival, but what would be the conclusion?

We know for sure Glagg and Konogg will meet face to face, what would it be, Konogg trying to take revenge and the WoL trying to talk them out of it? Then explaining why revenge is bad?
Again, that's just a possible scenario only based on Konogg's last message.

I'm not invested enough in the story to make good assumptions.

Honestly, at this point I wouldn't even care if Konogg just goes full scorched earth and the Tholl village is ruined beyond repair. Interesting lore implications aside, this entire story line has been a waste of time.

The only thing "good" that came out of it was the 2B leggings so everyone and their mother can run around with their butts hanging out like the degens they are... Though I won't deny the actual leggings themselves and not the underwear are aesthetically pleasing.

Sounds about right after we gave every other dwarf a trite "revenge is bad" lesson in the earlier quest (and they all crumbled at a single retort).

According to the live letter, there will be in epilogue for it in 5.55, so looks like we will get something.

This whole questline has just felt like a boring chore for a story i know literally nothing about besides the scraps they give each week. At this point i don’t think the epilogue will really change that.

maybe there is more nier in endwalker if you read the display in the puppet bunker it talks of a lunar base

More than likely speaking of the moon base in Nier Automata, which contains all of humanity's memories that have perished long before the aliens arrived and waged war against the YoRHa units.

Big spoilers for Nier Automata

The display talks of a lunar base, yes. This base is where the humans have supposedly retreated to, but the humans are all dead. All of the orders and messages you hear from the base are either recordings or fabrications. It was further explained in the light novel that the base merely contains preserved human DNA and the base is set up so that most of the people operating it don't even realize they're on the moon or even know what they're maintaining. If the one android living there finds out the PODs factory reset them.

I'm not sure how they could make this relevant to the Nier narrative in FF14.

but they wouldn't include the display if it was not important

It appears that this week was the final weekly quest. We will be getting an epilogue with 5.55 so...guess we'll see what happens from there next week.

Oh. Right. I was supposed to be doing that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please no.

Don't even think about derailing FFXIV's grand season finale with more of this crossover.

Anyway, if they've come from another world then the lunar base is presumably on that world's moon, not this one. Or at least the First's moon which isn't where we're going.

Aw, the music in the village changed. :(

Still hoping for dorky machine lifeform glamours, so I can look like a semi-crappy robot cosplay in my game.

It would bring me much joy.

This epilog better blow my socks off. Cause so far these past raid quests are flatter than a lalafell's chest. Yes there's some head tilting and facepalming put in there by Galugg's behavior and Konogg's last two messages, but they still haven't felt like it's grounded Neir into the world of XIV. Don't get me wrong I loved all of the fights and even the Dwarf sections up to these post raid quests while shrugging and sighing at the Nier parts. As it comes off as none of it mattered and if it wasn't for the seed being around nothing would have happened. I can't wait for 6.0 and the Myths of the Relem.

It's funny for me because it's only this last week that has truly intrigued me with

finding out Anogg was mad at the world and wanted revenge. Makes me wonder if they're implying she somehow summoned the Seed / machine lifeforms to the First

It really is interesting and it reminds me of ...

Drakengard 3. The protagonist Zero hated the world for what its done to her and as she lay dying she pretty much wanted it to die and that's when the Flower came to her. So maybe the lingering hatred of the dying dwarf did summon the Seed to the 1st?

Again though, all of these implications literally mean nothing to someone who hasn’t played the nier series. That’s absolutely horrible writing. Even if the epilogue is okay, it really isn’t going to make the story any better for me because it made me have to sit through however many weeks of these boring quests with barely any info. I’ve already barely understood any of the references or story of this questline as it is outside of the handwave of “oh they’re aliens”.

Right, especially given that final boss in the raid

Yep, agreed. I haven't played NieR or Automata. The only reason this part intrigued me was because I have played the Drakengard series. But the raid and these follow up quests have just been terrible writing.

I hope we get to keep doing it for a while. I like getting the little messages, and it's interesting to see what's happening with the dwarf village. It's kind of chill to just run through the raid and be on the lookout for some items and reminds me of the way you have to play Nier multiple times to get the endings.

I haven't played Nier myself either, but I was intrigued enough to read up on the story and watch some portions of playthroughs.

I think this questline has gone long enough. Hopefully the epilogue will be the last one and I'm sure Yoko Taro will continue things in one of his gacha games.
