Thread: YoRHa/NieR alliance raid 5.0

Q: There are many different reactions to YoRHa, ranging from welcoming to rejecting. Did you foresee this response?

A: I think that as we reveal more information about Shadowbringers, YoRHa will begin to make more sense. At any rate, both Saito-san and Yoko-san are being careful to make sure it blends in with FFXIV. They don't want the FFXIV community to reject it, and of course they want to leave something with you. The FFXIV team feels the same way--we don't want to impose too much on the Nier community. Both sides of the collaboration want to make something that both communities will enjoy. We'll integrate that into the gameplay experience and create something unpredictable, so please look forward to it.

They know about us o-o

Could do something like what they did with Dun Scaith. Create a currency you can get from the raid weekly for all those goodies. The original Succubus fight offered the sword glamour, and the tokens you got from the replacing Ultima fight also gave access to a glamour piece alongside actual upgrades (SE please add that bit to the Monastery, you even have a mini boss area you can swap out )

I'm cautiously optimistic. I was worried about Return to Ivalice when it was first announced because I was concerned we would be doing dimension hopping or something and going to the world of FFT and FF XII. but I was ultimately happy with how they worked the Ivalice lore and stories into FF XIV.

If they do the same with Nier I'll be happy. I don't want to go through a portal or something to the actual setting of the Nier games, but as long as it's woven into the story of FF XIV like Ivalice was i'll be happy.

Also I really hope we get some weapons this time around. Grimoire Weiss and Noire tomes maybe for Sch and Smn maybe?

As for weapons we will of course get some. Should they be added in the raid however i hope it is not the same system we have now (you know bolts, etc..) because it's a really bad system for loot.

As for the posted picture a few pages back, i have the same glam that looks similar to 2B but it is specific to Bard and Machinist so could never glam it to SAM

Bolts are the 8 man normal mode system, these are Alliance raids and, if they follow the formula, would have four bosses in on instance with random loot drops with a weekly lockout once you get a piece.

I really don't think we should expect weapons unless it's just one or two glamour options for certain jobs for doing the quest, not the raid.

I'm not holding my breath for them, but it would feel like a bit of a waste to do a NIER crossover and not give us some weapons.

Glory to the booty! I er mean Mankind!

I never finished Nier Automata but I think a raid with them would be really fun. And for anyone who thinks Nier is only sci fi. I think it's initial title was something with dragons, then a magic book, and then androids. Each title has an ending that leads into a completely different story.

The first Nier had magic, though also a lot of sci fi, and the events of the plot were kicked off by one of Drakengard's endings.

Automata itself

the only magical thing I can think of might be Emil?

Either way, FFXIV is no stranger to sci fi, even if it's often done in a 'magitek' sort of way. So long as care is taken to integreate things into FF XIV's story and not a lazy 'portal to another world' story I think it will work just fine.

I mean even androids are basically just more advanced mamots if you think about it with some of them being self aware like Gigi and the GSM guild one.
