FFXIV x NieR Reincarnation Crossover

[MaikoRaines]

Supposedly Taro wanted a lot more instant-kill mechanics. Most of them were shot down.He also joked about clearing the raid causing your character to be deleted. Well, "joked", if you've played a Nier game you know.

Imagine a 24 man version of a UCOB version of the last raid boss. That would be extremely chaotic and I'd be all in for it. We'd get a lot more whiners and complainers that NieR is invading their personal XIV experience and we'd never hear the end of it.

Given that the remains of the Bunker are now permanently located behind Tomra, I find it all the more perplexing that they ended things so abruptly. Reveal to us that 9S and 2B traveled to the First from a remaining shard, made possible when the machine lifeforms discovered a Seed of Resurrection/Destruction. Y’shtola hears about it from us and incorporates that knowledge into whatever she learns during our journey to the Thirteenth.

I think that's what kind of upsets me more. How they (the machine lifeforms and YoRHa) got there is just left to the imagination. We'll never get the answer but acknowledged that it happened anyways. And thus, live with it. I wasn't estatic on how it ended either. I enjoyed the overall Fanservice, the story in the middle, the extras like hair, glam, minions and the raids.

Monster Hunter is a completely different level of crossover. It's literally just "here's a monster, fight it". You aren't expected to get invested. NieR drags us through a whole alliance raid and interquels and six weeks of coming back for busywork quests for... what, exactly? A rambling and underexplained plot where everyone either treats us like a lackey or just makes zero effort to explain anything to us. A story on this scope deserves to be an enjoyable experience, but there was very little in it that made me care about any of what was happening.

I'm sorry that the whole NieR experience was inconvenient to you.

I heard one of the reason why the Nier raid was so bad was because Yoshida was purposefully stifling Yoko Taro's creativity.

I take it you heard this from a friends cousin who has a friend that works as a janitor at the Square Enix building in Shinjuku?

Just to really piss people off, tie it into the next set of Hildebrand quests.

Also, 2B versus Gilgamesh sounds hilarious.

Imagine how much "Greg with 2B bottoms" fan art we would end up with.

Seeing how 2B is tecnically a weapon, and Greg likes to hoard those...

Better yet - a 2P redemption arc. The default color of salt is white.

As long as it is on same level as FFXIII event I would not mind it. I do not want anymore resources spent on Nier.

I've had my fill of Nier stuff, and the concept arts you linked don't really tickle my fancy in any way. Pointless toiletpaper-wrappings were never cool, and never will be, no matter what Nomura and co. might say (I'm looking at you, Neo, from Stranger of Paradise).
