I am in the same boat. I really disliked this Nier crossover as a person who has never played Nier. The glams/music were the only thing I was enjoying about it, but then they dropped the ball with the last set which are apparently homages to characters in Nier, but they are boring looking and I don't care. The story was a mess and everything we learned in it was useless information.

Very excited for unique FFXIV raids tho!
