The Nier raid started high and continuously dropped lower in terms of fun ... as did the story. Really don't need more Nier stuff ... XIV is great and Nier is great ... but Nier in XIV is not.

People already have the booty pants and thats all they need from Nier raids.
It's probably 1 way collab, you know, like PSO2.
At least in Yokai they did not pretend that it will be canon to FFXIV...Imo as long as it is not Yokai Watch level of obnoxiousness/grind I do not mind. That was the only collab i seriously loathed and overstayed its welcome and I know people are tired of Nier but take the positivity you are not seeing in those large scale at least.
Although I would have preferred if they actually collabed with incoming games related to FF like Stranger of Paradise or even 16
Edit: I did not pay attention but it probably is in game Nier collab and not in FFXIV
For once I hope there will be nothing on FFXIV end, we had too much of Nier as it is.
It's something that happened to your character if you did it. and it involved the Wondering Minstrel as well as some minor characters, but it's unlikely to be referenced in the future. The Nier raids are pretty much the same thing at this point.

Tbh Nier raids were awful for someone who never stuck their nose in Nier series. I tried to read and comprehend the story but was just left with huge ??? in the end. There are evil androids in black - whoops, the white ones were traitors, we have to stop them because ??? for some reason they are evil, also 2b clones are there in the room, you won't need that info later. Now there is a girl in red, some weird computer mumbo jumbo, and poof - everything is gone now. Does it have any relation to the First? No. Any point to the story? No. Not even any setting or worldbuilding, Rathalos' trial had more sense to the story than Nier raids.
Mechanic wise they are clunky and annoying. They were interesting at first, before you got caught in balls room or ridiculous safe zones you have to sprint to and pray that server-ticks will be merciful.
Nier may be a good game with incredible story for all I know, but when you are making collab you kinda have to understand that not everyone played it and try not to make too much "easter eggs" and points for the fans, that others wont understand without googling around. I'd gladly take some other Alliance raid story that told us more about the First or Ancients instead of the half-baked story we got on 80s but alas.
Yoko's back again and this time he's out to blow up a shard!
Hopefully this is just the Nier mobile game getting XIV content because the raids effectively killed any interest I had seeing more of it on XIV's side of things.
Yeah, same thing with Monster Hunter for example.
If they keep doing those Collabs they might as well rename the Game into Fanservice Fantasy 14 at this point. I wish we would get to see more original content for once.
