What you expect from 5.0 "24 member" raid?

[Maero]

Hopefully it is something unique and in line with the actual Nier games.
People will be salty and die often and now everyone will be dressed up as 2B which is the only downside for me, lol

[Reimmi]

I don't expect it, but i pray 2b's outfit isn't role locked

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

I expect salt coming from players, just because they don't like it. They'll go on and preach about "what's best for FFXIV's raid scene," as if they made it themselves and had the final say

[347SPECTRE]

Possible raid gear that highlights the offensive lack of booty in this game.

[Dualblade]

I want a lot of Orchestrion rolls and Yoko Taro being given as much creative freedom as possible, if only to see if he follows through with this:

Ah yes, the 8th Umbral Calamity as was fortold.

With the last note on a black screen, and if you fail you have to redo the whole 8 minutes fight?

Heaven's no! You have to restart the whole raid tier from 5.1.

I expect to burn out my Verraise button and get zero comms again.

[Imragarn]

Hard enrage for the last boss battle of each raid.

alot of balls
nier outfits/hairstyles
bosses that use simple mechanics but players fail them anyway

I'm expecting for a good story with 2B, A2 and 9S; in the kind of scenario that Yoko Taro can do.
And of course good fighting mechanism, which could remind us Nier Automata.

I'm also expecting for a good soundtrack like Yoko Taro's team knows and why not "The Weight of the World" in orchestrion.

Since I don't like FFTactics or FFXII, I found the story and the oldschool soundtrack of the Ivalice Raids uninteresting.
Forcing me to cut the music every time, I know there are people who like it, but it isn't my case. I would have preferred a modernized version rather than a version arrange Ivalice themes. But the fighting was very interesting.

Welcome to a Bullet Hell game.

Try the most popular one called Touhou series.

You'll know the true meaning of Bullet Hell from that series.
