Copied Factory

[Verlyn]

I enjoyed Copied Factory quite a bit, but I won't deny it's an unforgiving raid to run blind and for what I feel is the wrong reasons. Primary reason being: Stormblood and Shadowbringers did a lot to standardize AoE indicators and this raid just seems to ignore all of them, with highly punishing consequences for not guessing the AoE that is coming immediately. A close second being that the boss fights are quite long.

For those who left it frustrated due to constant deaths: Give it time. As more players get geared up over the next couple weeks, the boss fights will become shorter and generally more forgiving.

compared to Rabanastre, the first of the Ivalice raids I found Copied Factory to be kinda bland in terms of story and even some of the boss' mechanics. The slow start may be intended but it feels too slow (in my personal opinion ofc). A quest or two more going more in depth with 2P's introduction would have been good

I can see it. Am I the only one who found it really weird that nobody asked basic questions? Not even a "Who is this white-clad robot? Why are we following her into an unknown and hostile factory?" They talked about caution and hesitance to trust only after fighting a bunch of bosses together.

My guess is that players read up on a wiki or cutscene watched to Ending A, and stopped there. Never once touching NieR or Drakengard, and thus missing a lot.

I can imagine in the board room, Yoko Taro asking something along the lines of, "How many important Red dragons do you have in this game?"

I'm talking about the characters asking basic questions about their own situation. The dwarves only start to question 2P after the raid and she has to give basic information about herself unsolicited.

When you said "nobody" I assumed you meant players.

I felt that a bit but honestly the entire chain has felt pretty tongue in cheek and non serious so I guess I just mostly rolled with it. Such as the constant lampshading about how we don't actually have a choice in whether we go along with the dwarves etc. I havne't finished the quests on a second character yet but I also suspect

the choice of which dwarf to side with won't really impact anything either.
