Crossover events and breaking immersion

[purgatori]

I'm not going to rage over it or anything, but I felt that the FFXV crossover event was a bit on the nose, and I actually skipped out on getting the mount because I knew I'd never use it due to the aesthetic not matching the rest of the game (I'm someone who will use artefact gear glamours all the time, rather than funny or novel outfits). I don't feel this way at all about the Nier crossover, though; it feels like a synthesis between FFXIV and Nier, rather than a clumsy grafting of the latter onto the former.

It helps that the true ending for Nier: Automata made it a bit more plausible.

Spoiler tag to avoid spoiling anyone...

At the end of the game 9S (well, everything that makes him who he is) and a few others (Adam and Eve being the ones they specifically mentioned) are put on a ship and launched into space with the intention of finding a new world to inhabit. It was a possibility that things would end the same way as they did on earth, which certainly appears to be the case on Norvrandt. Lots of conflict is already taking place and apparently has been for some time.
