It ends up with marketing element (For Nier Replicant) because Nier story in FFXIV ends with really horrible ending and anticlimatic. I prefer more original FFXIV story than another collab-that-turns-into-ads.

I get how the ending to the Automata raids felt a bit anticlimactic, the whole weekly quests felt like a lost opportunity, but having a quick crossover trial like they did for Monster Hunter can just be enjoyed for the fun of the fight and whatnot. Think they got a little overambitious with the raids and Yoko Taro couldn't get his normal insanity implemented as well as some people were hoping, a trial would keep it a bit more focused and manageable.It ends up with marketing element (For Nier Replicant) because Nier story in FFXIV ends with really horrible ending and anticlimatic.

As for the hairstyles, all I'll say is, modders have figured out Hrothgar hairstyles. Not saying you should mod your game for obvious reasons, just saying that it's possible for SE to put more effort into the Hrothgar/Viera hair and hat issues, as it's already been done by other people. It isn't Nier's fault that Hrothgar got their ears cut off, it's that SE simply isn't putting the resources they should into giving Hrothgar and Viera the same love as the other races.
I wouldn't mind more Nier stuff for glamourfest, but you've already got the naysayers arriving in protest.
That ain't cause of Nier, that's cause of dev team's lack of care that they'd just chop Hrothgar ears off instead of seriously working on it... they just happen to pick Nier hair instead out of the tons of better styles they could've gone with.

Come on SE, more dyeable mogstore npc outfits and 60/70 alliance raid gear. Do them all.
I was on board with the whole thing up until Paradigm's Breach. It was only downhill from there, in my opinion. Loved Puppet's Bunker to pieces though, and I was really let down by everything that followed. Those were some of the most enjoyable boss encounters in the game for me. Paradigm's Breach felt more like "BTW BUY NIER NOW!" instead of a continuation of the story and it didn't make any real sense story wise. The weekly quests after did nothing to address that either. Yoko Taro was clearly just...over it. I love Nier, but he has none whatsoever for FF XIV.
