Letter from the Producer LIVE LXV: Ask Your YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse Questions!

[Decoy_Wolff]

What was the inspiration for some of the looks for the gear drops in this raid series as some of the looks were never really in Automata?

[Quirinus_Mystlteinn]

During the end credits we were able to see the decisions of players. While it was exciting to see that there was no difference between the different regions in general, I cannot shake the feeling that the poll was skewed by people just skipping through, defaulting to the first option. What was the background to including these statistics, and was there any statistical fixes applied to correct player behaviour?

FFXIVやNieRシリーズと言えば、確かに感動させる音楽だなと思い浮かんでくるよね。
そういう訳で、YorHa: Dark ApocalypseにはNieR Replicant, Automata又はDrag On Dragoonからの音楽がたっぷり入って、それぞれのレイドのファイナルボスづつ特別なコラボの曲が流れる。
そのコラボの曲には、インスピレーションが特にありましたか？さらに、誰が「こうしてああして」と考えましたか？吉Pさん？ヨウコさん？岡部さん？まさか社長殿！？（苦笑）

去年の3月から始まったばかりなのに、素晴らしいストーリーを経験させていただき、誠にありがとうございます。これからも、いつでもそのコラボ曲を聴きながら泣き続けますよ。


For English speakers:
When you talk about Final Fantasy XIV or the NieR series, I definitely think about the emotionally moving music.
That being said, YorHa: Dark Apocalypse has quite a bit of songs from NieR Replicant, Automata, and even a bit of Drakengard, and each raid's final boss has a special collaborative song playing.
Were there any sort of inspirations for the songs? Also, who thought of how the songs should be? Yoshi-P? Yoko? Okabe? OR THE CEO!? (weakly laughing)

Thank you so much for the awesome story, it definitely moved me, and I will continue to cry every time I hear those special songs.

since fflogs (pars upload site) is very prominent, like when Ultimate raid statics are looking for players (fflogs is an open book), is there any chance ever, console players will get their own dps parser (that only shows ones own dps)?.. for self improvement and to be able to upload ones own logs independently, besides a "console only static" is very difficult to build without a parser (!)
(nothing has to change about "harassment" or "asking other players what their dps is", they should be reported / banned)

[KuroMaboroshi]

Contrary to the previous collaboration Alliance Raid "Return to Ivalice", "YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse" was comparatively light on integration with the game world's overall lore. Compared to previous alliance raids in general, it did very little for overall worldbuilding and relied more on previous knowledge of the Nier and Drag-on Dragoon series.

Was this a conscious decision on Yoko Taro's part, a decision that Mr. Oda or Ms. Ishikawa from the main scenario team made, or simply something that happened due to the circumstances of development?

Hi there was wondering would we ever get to see the flight suit ever added as a mount and would you ever consider adding a2's outfit into the game?

To YOKO TARO-san and Saito-san:

After seeing the percentage allied across all Worlds in the epilogue, and how two-thirds of the player base sympathized with Anogg only to have her killed off twice, would I be right in assuming that Konogg would have suffered the same fate if the majority of Warriors of Light sided with him instead? I personally undertook the quest that had me follow Konogg around since his beliefs align with mine when it comes to the scientific method and would have felt emotionally crushed had he been the sibling chosen to sacrifice himself.

Thank you for providing an excellent narrative that kept me engaged and provided me with inspiration for my Warrior of Light's own story!

Are we going to find out what’s going on with the dwarves in Komra? Is Glagg a machine lifeform? How did he return to normal after visiting the mines?

Are the twins connected to Devola and Popola?

[Zohar_Lahar]

How did the machine lifeforms, the Copied Factory, the Puppet's Bunker, and the Seed of Destruction go unnoticed by Vauthry, Emet-Selch, Mitron, or Loghrif? And what happened to the YorHa content in the original timeline when the Eighth Rejoining occurred?

Is there any chance of getting a Kainé attire, or maybe a swimsuit using the No.2 Type B Leggings model as a base instead?
