[S]uggestion: Additional NieR Ideas

[whitemoonflower]

while most weapon types would be covered by the ingame weapons and the grimoirs, what about ast and sage?
a floating emil head? four floating emil heads?

Or they could go this route (originally found here):

I genuinely don't know why they didn't just reach out to this artist and utilize their work somehow. They already did all the work for SE. And I will forever be salty I can't get a Beastlord weapon for DRK. ;_;

That said, I wouldn't say no to a floating Emil head as an AST weapon.

Completely agreed. The artist did such a nice job utilizing weapons from both Replicant/Gestalt and Automata. I'd hoped this would be the general direction SE would take, but they skipped weapons and a proper 9S set altogether.

The fact that the 9S set clearly exists in the game since he's in the game just makes it mindboggling to me that they didn't add his coffer to Puppet's Bunker.

Exactly, completely doable yet neglected. A sizable portion of the community was vocal about wanting 9S and A2 Material Storage Crates, the Heavy Armor set, weapons, and a flight unit mount. SE may have missed the mark on gauging interest in this raid series, but these things can still be added since they're already in the game (minus A2's gear).

Yeah it exists, as a female model since 9S uses female hyur body with modified animations. They'd actually need to adapt it to Hyur Male, Lalafell and Roes.. Nothing mind boggling about it other than why they didn't do it in the first place instead of doing it for 2B's outfit.

Also since Reincarnation is on topic here's a few that I liked:

To have 9S present, his outfit existing in-game, and bypassing it… I still believe they completely disregarded the fact that he's a main character. Automata isn't solely about 2B with 9S just floating around in the background. Both are indispensable if the story is to be told. It really wouldn't be all that troublesome to implement his outfit, and the demand is clearly still around. Here's to hoping they double back and add it.

I'd love to see those around. They effortlessly compliment the themes of numerous jobs. I like many of Noelle's looks as well: a tasteful fusion of mecha and streetwear.

Yeah it's kinda weird how they decided to waste time on doing 2B's outfit for males when nobody but crossdressing roes would wear it as a joke if at all, I wouldn't have high hopes of them doing 9S's outfit but if they did that'd be nice. A2 being forgotten entirely is also kinda predictable but she has no outfit to speak of anyway.

There's plenty of good reincarnation outfits tbh, even the NieR crossover had some great outfits, but I doubt we'd actually see them implemented. I mean aside from the various yorha unit remixes we've got as a raid set, they decided to give us extremely minor side character (Anemone has like one line) and literal background npc clothes for the last raid. I don't really see them revisiting Automata proper, if they did do 9S clothes they'd probably just add it to the loot list for the 1st raid. Maybe in some years we could have a Replicant crossover instead though, I find that more likely. If it was a Reincarnation one I think it'd be pretty minor, but who knows. They could always just do the Cryptlurker thing and do something that is heavily inspired by something.
