I'm just getting around to playing NieR Automata, on account of having finally gotten a system that can handle it. I'd say that it was tiding me over until Patch 4.2, but honestly? 4.2 is welcome to just wait until I'm good and done with this game, because it is an incredibly good game.

Lemme just be emphatic here. You need to play NieR Automata. I'm talking to you. It is EXTREMELY GOOD and you will thank this thread for bringing it to your attention.

Suffice to say, I'd be all for a NieR event in FFXIV, but don't let the hype for something that there are no real signs of happening change your gaming priorities, the top of which by all rights should be NieR Automata itself.
