Revelations from Keynote II

[YianKutku]

I admit I'm kind of curious if I should try playing Nier Automata. I've been avoiding it since I read the story synopsis and felt that it was kind of depressing. But if it will help me appreciate this new 24-man series, I might have to give it a fair go.

It's a pretty solid game. I'd recommend it.

But I'm not impressed that we're getting yet another crossover instead of them building original lore.

It's worth noting that there have been a number of threads specifically requesting a Nier: Automata crossover event since the game's initial release.

Feeding back into a comment I made in my earlier post about the Warrior of the Crystal, interesting the new pixie beast tribe race are pretty much the pixie beastmen race from FFXI Wings of the Goddess - right down to their Primal (that is, their 'leader' in a way) being Titania! (Titania in FFXI WotG was the faeries' leader and an npc fighter who would occasionally appear as allies in Campaign Battles). This is an interesting revelation.... very interesting indeed...

Thanks for posting this; I was going to ask about it.

Specifically, is the person on the top right anyone we know? I can't recall who they're supposed to be off the top of my head.

The top-right black robed diminutive person is completely new. If you zoom in, it looks like their face/neck is heavily scarred or covered in some sort of grey goop.

[Wyssahtyn]

Probably just some Ascian.

[Enkidoh]

I thought that was an Ascian.. the clearly Garlean guy on the left might be Gaius with a new hairstyle.. and that is either Minfilia in a new adult form or Lyse in the top centre. The rest are pretty easy though.

That's Solus.

It's Xigbar.
