Am I the only one disappointed with nier ending? (spoilers)

[Rollout]

This entire raid series was just so poorly done. Zero explanation as to the motivation of the enemies or our allies outside of the dwarves. The fact that the raid series was called YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse, yet had several references to Drakengard and original NieR, is just bad storytelling, because it's referencing things that some people might not know about, given most people had likely only played Automata and neither of it's previous entries.

All in all, it just felt like a bad fanfiction... "...and then, a portal to another world opened, and 2B and 9S came through! And they decided to save the dwarves from the evil 2B clone!"

And then the finale ends with 2B and 9S having to leave, with 2B leaving a "heartfelt" message for us... while I could think was "I'm sorry, who the fuck were you again?" As if we had any connection to them on a personal level.


At least with Return to Ivalice, it worked the lore of Tactics and XII into the world of FFXIV. YoRHa just dumped some Automata characters into our world through an unexplained portal and expected us to believe everything about it. There's zero explanation as to how the factory or the puppet's bunker ended up in the First. They're just there, for the sole sake of "Look! Look! It's something from Nier: Automata!"
