YoRHa/NieR alliance raid 5.0

[Vahlnir]

Look the MSQ has to be original, else the main selling point of the game would be moot. But is it too much to ask that the creativity goes further than just bare minimum? I don't mind bosses being other notable creatures/bosses from other FF games. So many designs of the original RPGs you can expand on to give a new dimension to their abilities. But taking a cornerstone of your patch content and just giving it to another universe goes too far.

It is obviously inspired by Nier Automata and is certainly fanservice first and foremost. However, we don't know how this will relate to the FF XIV universe yet so I think people need to chill.

I'm not particularly worried. Many of the same people complaining about the crossover have an established post history detailing all manner of complaints about the game to the point where I recognise their avatars and consistently wonder why they continue subscribing to something they're often so negative towards.

Outside of this forum - which only ever attracts a very small, vocal portion of players - the reaction to the crossover has been overwhelmingly positive. At this point, people just need to make peace with the idea that crossovers and fan-service are key to FFXIV's development cycle and success.

Watch... The final boss fight in the third and final 5.0 Alliance Raid will become a rhythm game in which the entire alliance (Not party, alliance) wipes if even one person messes up.

Probably part of his terms, "you expect me to direct for a game where the females have that... that just won't do"

All his raid gear legs wil now come with built in butt enhancers or maybe he will talk yoshi into a slider

Honestly, let's hope he does because with certain outfits worn, our characters (both female and male) are so flat you can use it as a frying pan and fry an egg on it. Like, I seriously get a cringy feeling when I see some great outfit I wanna wear for my characters and their flat butt just completely ruins the aesthetics for me because their flat cardboard buttock can't mesh together at all with the rest of the character!

Except we have past experience to go off of. Look at Crystal tower and Return to ivalice. In both instances, those worlds were shoehorned into the XIV universe. Dalmasca is now a place in Othard, and Xande cloud of darkness are major plot points in the Allagan storyline, which are both tied into the MSQ. Once is fine, but they keep doing it, and watering down the world of XIV. Bahamut and Alexander were good examples of taking classic elements and making them XIV unique, but the 24mans have literally remade another world in XIV and it takes me right out of the game

Its irrelevant. "plot will explain it" is a very poor excuse.

Dalmasca's been a place in Othard since the first Encyclopedia Eorzea.

Hell yeah, give me adam's mirror shades and jacket.
You could handwave it off as something fancy the garlean nobles or eccentric wear.
