YoRHa/NieR alliance raid 5.0

[Kinazu]

Let people enjoy things. People wanted a Nier crossover and we have it dedicated through a Raid. People wanted to have an FFXV collab and were getting it with Regalia as a four-person mount. I get that some people have criticisms over these crossovers, but it's obnoxious to drown out the people who were asking for these collabs FOR YEARS. The aesthetic from Nier Automata won't clash with FFXIV in anyway, due to the shear amount of ridiculousness already within this mmo. Alexander, a gigantic robot god is okay, but Engles, another gigantic robot isn't? We also have no idea how the raid will play out (we don't even have screenshots yet). It's way too soon to expect the worst.

I'll just throw in my two cents: The reason why Stormblood's Raids failed to draw my attention was because it felt disconnected to the world I came to know: Hydaelyn.
Omega is, arguably nothing more than a machine-made world where we fight fanservice for the sake of fanservice. No matter the story build-up it just seems extremely out of place. The same holds true for the Ivalice Raid. I haven't played any other FF game besides XIV, and from an outsider's perspective, it holds no value over the likes of Coils, which seems to be more fitting due to having a closure from 1.0.
Alexander works because it uses the Primal lore, but it also has XIV-unique fights, the most memorable being Brute Justice.

Exdeath, Kefka heck, even Omega didn't really keep me on the tip of my chair like Bahamut, Brute Justice and Alexander did.

I'm all for crossovers, just not as a main part of the game. Keep the raids to XIV and make it revolve around XIV. Having a crossover being a full raid just feels off. Why not a trial like Rathalos, that one doesn't feel out of place. It even feels plausible for a Rathalos to roam about Hydaelyn.
I know full well that there's fanservice everywhere, but just nudges and small hints are more likely enough, we don't need a full on raid to be one big fanservice/crossover, now do we? We've got two of them in Stormblood, and I honestly don't want another two in Shadowbringers.

What's next? Kingdom Hearts III 8-man Raid?
World of Warcraft crossover combined with MSQ?
Oh, if we're at it can we have Twin Fighter from Dragonica as an actual Job? I'd love that. Might as well at this point, right?

I'm just afraid that with each step into this direction XIV will feel less like XIV and more like a collab of 100 different things. :<
