How many weeks do we need to keep doing the Nier weekly quest?

[Ultimatecalibur]

But all these weeks and... nothing happens. Why even bother putting it on the game?

I suspect, as well as with the Warring Triad/Role quest epilogue, that they are planning to lock a piece of Endwalker content behind Dark Apocalypse just as Bozja was locked behind the Ivalice raids.

I think it'll finsh once 5.5 part 2 happens or a week before it.
Could be wrong since the dwarfes are still few but i would be surprised if they keep dragging Glagg's totally malfunctioning self for eternity

Plot twist:

He's actually a malfunctioning android himself.

Seems unlikely to me with the Nier raids being a a seemingly over and done crossover on the First only affecting one dwarf village.

This is probably just a reference to how you had to beat Nier over and over to get all the endings or something, there was a lot of grindy fetch quest side quests and gameplay repetition in the Nier games.

Unlike a lot of content in the duty finder, Alliance Raids tend to take excessive long periods of time to complete in later expacs unless other content is locked behind them.

But they don't actually require you to run through all 3 Alliance Raids each week to progress the story. You can pop to the village each week do the quest and be done without queuing for any of the 3 raids.

They just seem very pointless. I wasn’t expecting much from a weekly quest, but some variety would have been nice.

I feel like the Nier raid is lot more relevant for the Nier-Drakengard lore since Taro himself says they are canon.

Not sure if FFXIV will use Nier stuff in the future. I'm curious how they'll implement it if they do

Which is unfortunate since they said you wouldn’t need to play nier to understand the story. But idk wtf any of the significance of any of these bosses or things is or what the big orbs imply since i haven’t played nier so i’m just like um. I just wanted 9s gear, where is it.

It's unlikely it would be locked behind doing the weeklies if it does happen. Players only had to do CT and Ivalice once to unlock the later content.

If I have to keep repeating this a dozen times to do future content, I just won't be doing that future content. If that future content turns out to MSQ, then I'm done with the game.

Once should be more than enough.

There was story in that somewhere?

So I completely forgot that there was even a weekly quest to do. Just a tiny bit behind now, but cheers on the reminder!


And a bit off topic, but does anyone know if there is an orchestrion roll for the song that plays in Komra? My Google-fu is only brining up the generic zone music and the super-peppy dwarf music used elsewhere.

My hope pre-5.5 is that we'd get a weekly akin to the proto-ultima one in HW that gave tokens we could buy stuff that didn't fit into the normal alliance raid reward scheme, like a flight unit mount and weapon glams. I have a slim hope that we may get such a thing in 5.55 for those who are done with current weeklies but I won't be surprised if this is it.

I was enjoying the story when I thought it was leading to a big finale after the third raid that would hit hard like parts of Automata did. But now that it's kinda fizzled out into these weeklies I find it hard to believe the eventual end won't feel anti-climactic (post Tower cutscenes certain did after the spectacle of that raid).

The raids were great, they felt fun and hit a lot if nostalgia for me, but the story has been disappointing.
