Revelations from Patch 5.1

[KarstenS]

Little wall of text.

Well did the MSQ and my thoughts on it:

Still I am not quite happy that Zenos somehow even got some Ascian power..

This was a thing I did just wait for.

Remember our first talk to Elidibus in Patch 2.1? He talked about, if we ever would learn how powerful the echo really is, we would see, that we are not very different to the Ascians.

Mysterious Figures

The Mysterious Figure that appears before Zenos is, by my estimate, [b]not[/i] associated with the Ascians.

My first thought was: maybe the same source as the Oracle of darkness?

So Zenos is now hunting for Zodiarc. And if he consumes him, currently I do expect he will, my idea for the direction is the following:

After this Hydaelyn will sacrifice herself to give the WoL of the Source her power and then everything is heading forward to the final battle between Zodiarc and Hydaelyn, represented by Zenos and the WoL.

From the Fanfests we do know: The Arc of Hydaelyn and Zodiarc will end in 5.x and i think, this could be an possible end.

Somehow they are talking a different language there (which the WoL also cant understand even with the echo)

Not very surprising. As we lerned at the end of the Omega story line, the "natural language understanding" only will work for individuals with a soul.

The visuals are not great. Its an ugly factory with ugly robots. And other than the last fight, none of the music was something I liked, heck the one that played when we traveled through it again really got on my nerves after a bit of time.

Without the knowledge of the game, it is hard to know why it looks and feels like it does. You should definitively give NieR: Automata a try. It has one of the best stories I've played the last decade. After the desaster of Final Fantasy 15, NieR: Automata satisfied me in every way FF15 could not deliver.
