Nier: Automata

[Yasuhiro]

They're pretty vauge about it, they say that the Yokai are from a distant land so they could be from any corner of eorzea. Doma maybe? because of where the starter NPC comes from but... we have Yugiri still hide her face around your character if it's an au ra so who knows. They made the right call having it be a random Au Ra rather than Nate from the series with his friends. That'd be bizzare even for fantasy game standards.

Drakengard is a world where magic and dragons aren't exactly strange and the only way they even travelled through that 'rift' was because of Queen Grotesquerie (unsure how, but that's what happens. Seere probably 'helped'). They wind up on the 'real' planet Earth, a world that is pretty much like ours (no magic and dragons and all that fantasy stuff) and even after defeating the Queen, they die (shot down by the army or something) and because the Queen is on Earth, a world devoid of 'magical medicine,' they inadvertently cause the apocalypse.

Skip a few thousand or something years later and we have NieR. Skip a few more thousand years later and we have Automata... which is still new, so I can't say much on that due to spoilers.

No, NieR: Replicant/Gestalt takes place only a few decades after the White Plague event (the year is 2053). NieR: Automata takes place thousands of years into the future.

[Critical-Limit]

Yes plz, this is something I'd really like

Huh. I thought Replicant/Gestalt took place in the year 3000 or something. Either or, my point stands. Glamour is fine, actual characters from the planet Earth (Automata) I just cannot see being in this game.

[BubblyBoar]

I don't want a Nier event until they can do 2B justice. Proper butt slider please!

the NieR timeline basically goes like this: 2003 is when the Drakengard ending takes place. The short 'level up 30 times in just 2 minutes' prologue in ruined Tokyo takes place in either 2049 for Gestalt/daddy-Nier, or 2053 for Replicant/bro-Nier. 3361 (Gestalt) and 3465 (Replicant) are were the actual game starts. Automata then takes place in 11945 (easy to remember as it uses WWII dates just 10k years into the future). Also I think the Replicant dates are 'canon' in Automata.

also big +1 for giving us this event

They did a freaking Yo-kai Watch crossover.

Yo-kai Watch.

100/10 Nier: Automata deserves a crossover more than that garbage.

I haven't even played the game yet and I want a crossover. :P

[RubyCirha]

Eh sure I'll get on this band wagon lol

Yo-kai Watch.

And the way SE handled it was making the Yokai a part of FFXIV's world (so kinda shoe-horned into the lore. It's not good and I don't like it, but that's how they get it to work).
Can't do that with A2, 2B, 9S and anyone of importance in Automata's plot/lore. Clothing is all that's possible if SE were to make this event.

After the FFXV, Phantasy Star 2 and apparently FFXI and DQX events.

[Dalmacus]

Well for lore sake they could just put those "dolls" as a secret project by the allagans and bam nobody can complain
