Jus try take on it but it was over too quick. Get like half the quests were removed and nothing used to fill in blanks. We barely got to see the crossover characters and they just up and vanish at the end. I’m still not entirely sure what happened, how it began and we never did get the explanation o demanded in return for helping the dwarf lol none of the themes of Nier were really there, they tease you with hints but it was mostly just about bullying and guilt.

I feel like the first raid is totally random and that they only decided on the story from bunker raid onwards.

As for the turn in quests at the end...I’ve already forgot about them and wasn’t till I wrote this I remembered I haven’t done this weeks (I’ll go do once I finish here) since it’s unusual.

What we got in terms of glam...I’m happy with. My two favs are 2B and Devola/Popola which is handy as i run caster.
Was hoping for a flight suit mount and that grew when they added Gabriel but never happened. Sad times. Especially since the animations and design for them are right there in the raids lol

Overall I can’t help but feel yoko taro wanted to tell a story then got told to add the dwarves. Combined with the reports of “yoko taro wanted to do this but we had to tell him no” of which there are many I can’t help feel he was fairly strung up with it and probably imo off the record not too impressed with this crossover. Something we can only speculate over tho unless he leaves.

Raids themselves were cool to see and squeal over. Bunker probably the easiest and weakest oddly. HP sponges aside.
Love tower. Mechanics are different. Hacking game wish went longer lol
Factory was a good intro but really suffered from the drop you in nature over the story which was basically unlock, talk to dwarf, do raid, wait for 5.3. Lol
