Nier: Automata x FFXIV collab?

[Nestama]

Except this is a game, there is no need to apply arbitrary limitations because "NieR's lore." To quote you from the other thread, "as the FF characters used in that game are not directly from the game they originally came from", you would be taking the NieR characters and inserting them into XIV EXACTLY like that. As long as they're not "directly" from the game they originally came from, it's all good right?

The only way your idea can work is for the FFXIV team to make the NieR characters natives to the world (thus making a cameo/cross-over event pointless) and have different personalities and motives, since there's no threat of humanity being extinct in Hydaelyn (to some extent).

It just cannot work when you know the backstory to NieR.
