Is the game becoming too metaphysical for its own good?

[Kallera]

The crossovers bleeding into the setting,
Characters shedding names and personalities (yda and lyse, and now y’shtola and matoya),
Whole zones from ffxii and now nier being shoehorned in,
The disjointed nature of the trailer,
The empire being an extension of the Ascians,
And even us in our newfound employment,

I wish I can say for certain that I am looking forward to this expansion, I haven’t wanted to be the “Warrior of Light” for some time, but i’m not sure If I am. If anything, the disjointedness makes me fear the answers we will be getting regarding the shards, the empire and as such I wonder whether I should just “youtube it” and save myself the trouble instead of buying it. We are not getting “new characters” so much as slathering personalities on old bodies, like a bad rendition of the “saberface”.

It has a lot of questions I want answered, but I just don’t believe in the devs like I used to. I’m afraid of what will be left when this is over.
