I get the feeling that Nero is going to be a bit harder to swallow for players who may have not completed the World of Darkness Scenario.

I wonder how many players chose to be open to Nero's idea as opposed to being wary of him, and if they had completed the said raid or not. Personally, I think he's fighting his infeiroirity complex and wants to work alongside you for the sake of showing his worth next to Cid, given the end of the WoD raid that left with Cid being the one to save him, I think he wants to regain that self worth.
