What was the Japanese reception to Nier crossover?

[CKNovel]

I genuinely enjoyed it, from the theme, boss fights, and music. Story was somewhat so-so at parts but I can't complain. Most people I know enjoyed at least the raids themselves if not the story.

You just see more complaints as more people are inclined to come to a forum to complain about something than to praise it. Those who are happy with something are usually content with that, with the occasional person wanting to share how happy they are about it.

Those who aren't happy are more likely to go public with it.

I understand the logic, but you can't hide all Nier flaws behind a "Yes but the happy people don't talk".
How about we take it the other way and try to find people who didn't liked Ivalice, Shadow of Mhach or Crystal Tower?
I tried to find topic about complains on Ivalice and Shadow of Mhach but all I found was complains about Ozma difficulty and how players were wiping in Weeping City, how they were giving up.
I also found complaints about how Orbonne Monastery was confusing for those who absolutely didn't touched FFT, how Ultima was badly introduced, you see her, you kill her. Also the glamours were not great.

But those are the only complaints I could find, if someone else can find more, we'd have a much better metric when it comes to feedback.
I even found praise topic aswell.

But Nier is the only raid series so far with such a conflict and negative feedback.
In short: There was much less complaint about previous raid tiers and Ivalice was more praised than negatively criticized.
