Nier Reincarnation (Weapon Lore)

[Cygnia]

For those who have had a crack at the collab, what new weapon based lore does it bring to the table?

[Veloran]

[HyonaCookie]

That Shadowbringer lore makes me wish we could have flavour texts for our relic weapons.

[Vyrerus]

Man those entries on Shadowbringer and the Hades Ex weapons just ooze a grim poetry. I'd read their name meanings when acquiring them back in SHB, but never for a moment did I consider them to be Hades's emotions manifested as weaponry.

[SannaR]

That Estinien one is emotional damage.

[EdwinLi]

That Estinien one is emotional damage.

Always prepare for emotional damage when it comes to Nier/Drakengard contents even for crossover contents.

Speaking of that, now we know the story of the day Estinien lost his little brother and reason why he kept his helmet on and why he now no longer wears it. You think the spear was the representation of his desire for revenge since it is the weapon he planned to us to kill his target but it was the helmet in the end to represent how he distant himself from a person to just pure vengence.

[Cleretic]

In terms of new information, the only one containing any is A-Towa-Cant's story in Thyrus'. Which also treads a lot of known ground, but even what we knew about him was pretty stretched-out and scattered.

[Cygnia]

True, although it is a good expansion on what has been mentioned in passing regarding Estinien's background. Thanks to Veloran for taking the time to archive! With any luck the unending codex might be expanded to include a more personalised account of certain relics.
