Another Nier collab

[Beytran70]

If they keep doing those Collabs they might as well rename the Game into Fanservice Fantasy 14 at this point. I wish we would get to see more original content for once.

Yeah, like what if they released an entire thing of content for the game with new levels, new story, new characters, dungeons, all the sort of thing people love. They could call it an... explosion pack. Exponential parcel. Exploratory Pallet.

Never forget the time someone asked “why aren’t we getting more ff8 bosses for eden” and yoshi responded with “this is ff14, not ff8.” As if implying this isn’t fanservice fantasy what with at the same time he says that nier 3rd raid being released and the ff7 weapons trial series

I still think a Drakengard crossover that took place long after the events of the first game would have made for a better tie-in than what we got. 90% of Novrandt is unexplored and uninhabitable, it isn't completely unfeasible that Caim's destroyed kingdom and the ruins of the Empire are still out there. Or that the immortal Seere and his Golem managed to escape the Flood of Light and made their way to the Crystarium or Amh Araeng.

Not to be the party pooper as i loved the EW and the story, we still get some percentage of reused content from the other FF. Like Anima from FFX, Magus sisters from FFVI, Fenrir from FFXIII.
FFXIV kinda like Dissidia but with quiality story and amazing Original characters and world.

In that case, I guess their story is over.

I don't want to suddenly find myself again surrounded by robots and some weird nonsensical lore that gives me a headache.

You know that FFXIV has robots too, right? And some of it's lore is nonsensical and headache inducing as well.

As long as the collab allows me to get A2's long hair and possibly Kaine's and the twins' outfits (Both of them), I'm all for it as long as it's not super grindy (I'll settle for A2's hair if given the choice).

I'm fine with another Nier Collab. The main thing that made the last one a problem was more so the integration with the dwarves felt off. If they ever did another crossover with major content, it would be better if we accidently got pulled in via space time travel. I still remember a game I had played a long time ago where the entire game was a bunch of different worlds all smashed together for a time. Think it was either Game Cube or Dreamcast.

But the thing is, when a collab gets done, there are two sides of the coin: Fan Service and actual progression or expansion of the creative work. The Neir collab that happened earlier was more fan service and the actual progression or expansion of creative work came on the FFXIV end. A true collab doesn't just expand on one side, but considers how both ends would impact one another in a realistic sense. Super technology is nothing new to FFXIV, but the worlds of FFXIV have forever had magic in balance with technology. Humanity of the Nierverse didn't have magic until much later, and progression of technology had moved forward to the point of rivaling magic. So when magic did become a force, they treated it far differently and with a scientific process. That kind of mindset would cause a completely different evolution in terms of spells and power (which to be fair, was seen in the raids).

Once someone sees or even glimpses that kind of unique take on magic, why would they not further explore that strange land? We saw a bit of that with the dwarf but it was all personal. I think Eulmore would take great interest in those mecha and other types of technological wonders. That and the warrior of light could easily bring parts back to Cid and the source, which could lead to the development of new magitech even more advanced than the current levels.

I wouldn't mind a short limited-time event like Noctis; my Femroe needs a pair of boots!!
