I'm guessing that the third tier will probably also have yorha focused gear, but hopefully a bit more diverse. A lot of the puppet's bunker gear feels samey to me between sets. Even if they stick just to Automata I hope they throw in some non yorha uniform type outfits.

I guess we'll see. Not surprised if the Tower is indeed going to be the final raid or part of it since it was the last level of Automata. I was surprised though that the second raid was the bunker and not the amusement park.

Both the previous tiers were very much themed after his gear though. Personally I'm hoping for Nier gear rather than Automata gear, what with the Replicant remake coming up.

2b gear was the female theme for the first raid but they still gave us hers anyways so :/ Dunno why they didn’t just give his as the reward for 2nd raid. The only other glam contender i see is people asking for A2 which is...another female oriented glam lol.

The first raid had 2B inspired gear, the second raid had 9S inspired gear, if the pattern holds then the final raid will almost assuredly be A2 inspired gear, that way each raid has glamour inspired by Nier Automata's three playable characters in the order of campaigns. Then again as Veloran mentioned they may make gear inspired by the original game to tie in to the remake or promote it. That is probably why they chose to do the Weapons trials now to correlate with the first part of the FF VII remake being released.

That name alone does so much to explain how this happened.

In what way?

How? There's not exactly a lot to pull from in her design.

Tower at Paradigm's Breach. Paradigm...a paradigm shift. Our assumptions and way we're looking at this story is about to change. If I would take a guess how...we've wondered how the hell Nier had anything to do with Final Fantasy, that we didn't both to turn the thinking around. What does Final Fantasy have to do with Nier? How does Final Fantasy XIV fit into Nier's story?

Pretty sure it's an actual place in Automata. Might not have that specific name though.

One really obvious connection would be the Sound. That might be too much of a huge connection though.

Right, my point was moreso like. We got a 2b coffer for her un job locked glam, but we didn’t get one for 9s. I would just like his over another coffer possibly being another female oriented coffer glam like 2b was.

It's updated again!

As towers rise and darkness falls, Eorzea's players take the stage- blades poised to meet the Final Days.

PATCH 5.5

Main Scenario Quests

Death Unto Dawn - Part 1
The Scions have finally succeeded in discovering a cure for tempering, which should prove instrumental in allowing the Eorzean Alliance and the land's beast tribes to settle their differences. Prospects of peace may soon fall to ruin, however, as Fandaniel and the Telophoroi scheme to recreate the Final Days, and ominous towers rise in all corners of the realm. With the servants of chaos amassing at every turn, will the Scions uncover their plot before it is too late?

Two pictures with this one. While I don't notice anything too obvious in either of them, the references to peace with the beast tribes furthers the theory about where the patch will take place.

I do want to ask, have we seen the gryphon rampant as a political icon before? Can we get a theory about where this meeting is happening?

The meeting is in Ala Mhigo. That is Ala Mhigo's flag. Hien and Y'shtola are absent. The second picture is just confirmation that we will find Estinien in 5.5.

It sounds like we might be coming to the aid of the Amal'jaa. Though our last dungeon-based excursion into beast tribe territory was... less than friendly, lol. I wonder if we'll see Lunar Ifrit for this dungeon, or if they're saving that stuff for Endwalker.

They mentioned that the Immortal Flames sent out scouts because there were reports of Amal'jaa going missing in Southern Thanalan...which I'd assume is probably a result of their tower-tempered brethren kidnapping them.

I do hope we'll actually be helping the still sane Amal'jaa beat back the tempered raiding their settlement instead of just forcing our way through so we can get to the tower.
