Nier content is terrible in every aspect. Such a missed opportunity on providing additional lore, unlike it's predecessors.

XIV CM: What are you most looking forward to about the new NieR raids?
Me: The opportunity for a real, dark Yoko Taro spin on XIV lore!

XIV CM: Well, wasn't that exciting?!
Me: ...I mean, at least the combat wasn't quite the worst raid yet... But did you spend all of a dozen man-hours establishing its place in XIV, specifically? Less?

Personally, I'm most looking forward to Sephi, Sophi, and Zurvan or the Four Lords.

I would assume the next Ultimate would be either Thordan, Nidhogg, or the Warring Triad.

They could probably pair the first two into one huge encounter, actually. Start by fighting Thordan with the Heavens' Ward performing their various mechanics. As Thordan gets low, they sacrifice themselves to power him up into a new form for the next phase. As the fight continues, he gets desperate and calls on Ratatoskr's stolen power, which enrages Nidhogg's spirit and brings him out. The party has to fend off both the empowered Thordan and the enraged Nidhogg at the same time, until finally Thordan is struck down, causing Nidhogg to absorb his aether and transform into an even greater form for the finale. Could be pretty epic.

the Warring Triad.

If they do that and bring Kefka at the end, it would be PERFECT ! ... But there is no lore about Kefka and them in FFXIV

Just yesterday i said i wish the Nier Raid had been 8 man instead of 24.
I am a huge Nier fan but having to endure the sometimes cluster____ of runs makes it so tedious.
