[S]uggestion: Additional NieR Ideas

Ah, a productive thread with a clear request in mind. A rare sight to behold on these forums.

I feel like they missed the opportunity to bring in more gear, etc.

I've felt the same (all the more after seeing a suggestion like this years back). At least there aren't tons of licensing hoops for them to jump through if they ever double back to add more.

Ha! Emil heads invading the portraits, love it ! 9S outfit should’ve happened as a true male equivalent outfit instead of us having to make our own make shift version… (and flight units when D:! Pod was much appreciated but still!) Honestly would love more outfits from the nier series, there’s so many good ones!

Just imagine: you queue up for Crystalline Conflict and are greeted with an entire team of Emil heads! I'm curious about why a 9S set was even left out. Did they assume it'd be unpopular? I'm still hoping for flight unit mounts, but it might've come down to issues with scaling it for different races. Pod 602 is much appreciated, but a Pod 316 rendition would be great so we can transition from both minions to both mounts. And likewise on additional outfits from NieR and Drakengard.

As long as they keep it out of the mainstream content cycle (Like they should've to begin with), I wouldn't object to more cross-over stuff.

I feel even more sour that it occupied as much of a spot as it did after the joy of the newest Alliance raid when we could've gotten something else devoted to fleshing out the lore of the Source or the First better.

I firmly believe they missed a great opportunity to tie more deeply into lore of the Source and its reflections through YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse. They could've made one of the remaining shards the "other world" that the Automata cast returned to—a reference to our world. Tie White Chlorination Syndrome to some form of aetherical disruption (think Black Rose). That would completely change the implications of EW.

Just wanted to say thank you for bringing up the 9s set. It was baffling to me that they decided to not give males a male equivalent glamour and instead just gave us the feminine 2b glamour and called it a day. Guess it’s just more gender bias in the end since yoshi p only plays female characters

Glad to help. My partner, a MNK main, was excitedly anticipating a 9S set only to be met with that singular remninscent healing set—something neither of us find right or reasonable. 9S is just as much the main character as 2B. SEGA was willing to make both sets available (along with a female variant of 9S’ set) for PSO2; I see no reason why SE can’t. Let’s hope they reconsider.

I am still upset that the YoRHa Type 51 gear is so different between males and females, I have been wanting the male versions of YoRHa Type-51 Jacket of Fending and YoRHa Type-51 Robe of Casting so badly for my character ever since I saw the preview images for it on the lodestone. Imagine my disappointment when I try them on and it looks completely different. And there being a 2B coffer but no 9S one is odd.

It’s not so much the variation but a lack of utilization that seems to be the issue. It would’ve been nice to see more variation in the male versions of the Type-53 Halfrobe of Healing/Casting and Obsolete Android’s Halfrobe of Healing/Casting, but I understand how being unable to utilize them is frustrating. And the lack of a 9S coffer only furthered this frustration in many.
