What was the Japanese reception to Nier crossover?

[ItMe]

Using it as the title, though, suggests the apocalypse isn't a potential future event but actually underway.

Outside of a brief attack on one isolated village, there was no sign of it being a world-ending threat until five minutes before the end. And the raid didn't feel "dark" to me - it was all very mock-heavenly with the heavy choral music and ascending the tower to a white-themed final boss.

Cuz we stopped it.
The title works better than the title for the expansion at least.
We're supposed to be "shadow bringers," but we don't bring shadows, we bring the night, which if anything means there are less shadows after ending the endless day.
It just sounds cool.
