YoRHa/NieR alliance raid 5.0

I find it oddly specific to get hung up on the alien machines when we don't know how big a role they're going to play in the raid as of yet. Or if they'll actually make an active appearance.

I don't think it's at all odd to get hung up on how the main antagonists of the game they're using as the basis for one half of the end-game expansion content of Shadowbringers will be portrayed and if they will look out of place within the game.

Again, considering the title of the series is "Yorha: Dark Apocalypse" and the promotional art makes it look like bizarro 2p skin 2B from Soul Calibur VI is facing off against Yorha androids... Yorha could very well be the primary antagonists of this raid series... because spoilers if you haven't played Nier: Automata... Yorha sucks just as much as the machines by the end of the game...

She very well could be.. and you're right, we don't know.. but The game they're bringing in had her as the protagonist and the robots as the antagonists. I have little doubt in my mind that SQE will upend that and leave the robots out of the raid or lore.

And as long as the machines are self-contained in the context of this raid's environments, they will fit in with whatever reasons are established within the storyline of the raid series... It's not like they'll then start putting Nier-style enemies in MSQ dungeons after that.

You do realize that the whole thing i'm against is just porting in their looks, right? They could have the robots in the game if they made them look like something that the Garleans or Allagan would create. That's my issue, the fear that they won't try to blend the two, that they'll bring the robots in near wholesale and they will look out of place.
As for them being self contained, as far as i know.. that's not going to be a guaranteed thing anymore, as the whole Ivalice thing is supposed to be spilling out into general world lore and influencing the future lore of the game and omega's activation was a rather large story piece before stormblood.

This time i'm done though, i hope you both have a good night.
