[S]uggestion: Additional NieR Ideas

[whitemoonflower]

I hope this finds you all well. I had a few ideas I wanted to throw out there alongside the Pod 316 mount suggestion.

◼1. I wasn’t alone in hoping for Automata's Heavy Armor set and some NieR-themed weapons, both of which are present in the game. The utilization of those models would be welcomed and appreciated. They could be added to the Gold Saucer as additional MGP sinks.



◼2. A No.9 Type S Material Storage Crate. The closest we have is the YoRHa Type-51 Healing Set while the No.2 Type B Material Storage Crate is wearable for all jobs. I'm glad we have access to both hairstyles; both outfits would be fitting.



◼3. Beyond being a mere "Player 2" color scheme, 2P made her first entrance in terms of lore and story on FFXIV. The headband of Battle-ready Bobs blends with darker hair colors. I propose a 2P hairstyle complete with white headband (think "Cut 2Perfection"). The color of hairstyle-bound accessories becoming a customizable feature would be even better. (But I fully support Hrothgar styles regaining their ears first and foremost.)



◼4. The potential of a Replicant collab has been a topic of discussion for years now. Even if that doesn't come to pass in its entirety, two words: Emil head. (Just imagine the Adventurer Plates.) This could be yet another good MGP sink.



I know there are "bigger fish to fry" (mackerel hopefully not among them), but I'll leave these here for consideration. 6.1 brought a lot of stress to both players and devs, but I hope everyone is getting plenty of rest, taking proper care of themselves, and taking things one day at a time.

Thank you for reading. Please be safe & well.

Edit: my original intention was to address pre-existing possibilities, but Drakengard and NieR Replicant/Gestalt collabs (even some outfits from Re[in]carnation) would be more than welcome as well.

You can change the hair color, but the headband remains black regardless.

The YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse raid series might've ended, but I could see an additional questline and FATE to commemorate the anime adaptation. (Poor Emil… I'd rather hug him than fight him.)

GDI SE
why u do this

What if, and I know this is crazy, we get more original content rather than tons of Square Enix crossovers? Alternatively just do a Babylon's Fall and make them $20 store items because Nier fans will buy it all anyway.

How about we give Nier Replicant some love instead of always just Automata?

So i agree with 4. Just more than just Emil head
I would kill for Brother-Niers getup
Or Yonahs dress etc.

My primary focus was further utilizing what's already in the game, but I completely agree with your suggestions. And why stop there? A Drakengard collab would be great as well.

True true, understandable
But since Replicant is the prequel to Automata and recently got it's remaster, seeing more from it would be so cool too and absolutely deserved, Replicant doesnt get nearly as much love as it should.

Drakengard 3 basically has gearsets for every class with the sisters, too.

Let's do it, let's go!

I know how you feel re: Automata seemingly eclipsing Replicant. My first step into the series was when a friend suggested Drakengard back in '09. Compared to the rest of the series, NieR was a different yet captivating constellation of routes, references, and meaning. Automata remains my favorite, and I appreciate how it directed attention to the rest of the Drakengard series (Replicant/Gestalt included), but Replicant/Gestalt made Automata that much more meaningful: the "North Star" in the midst of twists and turns. Each connecting point helped Automata blossom into something more.

And Drakengard 3 sets (along with weapons and Mikhail/Gabriella minions)? Absolutely.
