@@ChroniclerofLore maybe that is a part of the true secret of the echo. Maybe having more of a connection to the original beings from before the split means they can become akin to demigods on their respective worlds?
Out in the dwarf village where the festival took place there are quests that appear after you complete the final raid of the Nier event where you do things for the Dwarves and receive messages from Konogg letting you know what he's currently doing.
I’m no expert on NieR so I have two questions. Why didn’t it get planted in the Source? And I’ve heard they only had one weakness that we have access to on the Source. Would they be able to stave them off?
The fact we face the culmination of Yoko Taro’s pass game taking it all the way back to even Zero herself the final boss of the last raid has a particular title….Grotesquire Queen (hope I spelled that right). Man that whole boss fight was a love letter from all his games wrap in one. Fight in Tokyo (drakengard 1), the lunar tears (Kaine), the flower in the eye (Zero) and course the forms 2B and the red girls combined. Knowing what we know as a whole the gravity of what we fought is very heavy.
The entire raid series was a lot of fan service for us Nier fans. The fact that it didn't expand much on the lore of FFXIV itself wasn't all that appealing to the people who had never played Drakengard and Nier, but since I thoroughly enjoyed both series (Drakengard 1 and 3 need that nice remake/remaster treatment) catching the references made this all very enjoyable for me.
I rushed through the cutscenes because I just can't wait to get to the raids - glad to see you summarize everything neatly with personal flavor in narrating, good job!
It's also worth mentioning the final boss song itself, I believe, is named after Kainè from NEiR Geshtalt/Replicant. So... there's a lot to unpack here. Of course. It's Yoko.
Yeah that song is a fusion of Kainè's theme and the final boss fight in Drakengard after Caim and Angelus get teleported to Tokyo and fight the Queen Beast.
"Proving that the warrior of light, is an idiot" lmao that's what I thought the whole time playing this game. My character is insanely strong but has no brain made me ended up doing all of those mundane and tedious quests because the lack of critical thinking XD
Having played through the game on multiple characters now, I have confirmed that the Warrior of Light would score very low on any IQ test. And the rest of Eorzea has figured that out too, otherwise they wouldn't ask a god slayer to clean the rats out of their basement.
@@ChroniclerofLore During ARR I can understand why the warrior would do dumb quests because they were poor and starving for coins. Now that the warrior is pretty wealthy 3 expansions after yet still taking errand quests. I guest it's not about the money, they're just too stopid to say no after all XD
This made me like the Dark Knight storyline even better. We finally get to hear that the warrior of light is sick of people asking for nonsense, but still won't stop doing the random fetch quests.
@@ChroniclerofLore the WoL has the goddamn patience of a thousand thousand saints to put up with all the bullshit they’ve put up with for years at this point. It’s no wonder the *second* you can say things without fear of blowback (at the implicit threat of a sword twice the average person’s height) you end up scarring people for life, for the better but still. At this point it’s past ignorance and entered the realm of Bliss and being incapable of giving a single absolute fuck at other peoples’ chicanery. That and actually really liking to make people genuinely happy and to never forget the common man, even if it means stuffing through a sewer of shite and back.
I'm extremely mad after the 7 weeks of quests. All of the hints at things like the white chlorination syndrome and konogg potentially finding another Seed and accidentally starting this whole thing over again were all for nothing.
@@ChroniclerofLore are you surprised that the main who rewarded us for completing the entirety of his game is a nonsense battle in Tokyo where everyone dies would do that though? Lol
Woohoo! Look forward to seeing you in Eorzea. You can test it out on the free trial which let's you get all of the way through the 2nd expansion. That way you can get a feel for the game before you just toss out some money.
Thank you for this video. I didn’t get to enjoy reading or trying to figure out what was going on because I had people asking me to unlock stuff and I didn’t want to hold them up
I'm actually playing on Afro Samurai right now lol. I think the funniest thing is the fact that none of the people you deal with in game ever comment on how the WoL changes from a rabbit to a lizard to a dude with an afro and back again all in one adventure.
Can you explain (or anyone for that matter) how exactly the Seed of Destruction appeared in Eorzea? Did it just...poof there then summon the tower, and that's it?
The amount of mental gymnastics it takes to make sense of a NieR story makes my head hurt. You really can’t make sense of it at a certain point. It’s too much content to keep track of and almost every path leads to tragedy. That’s why I don’t try to play the games for the lore and I do like lore. I will say the raid has great glamour. A shame they don’t offer a chance to get weapons from the coins you get.
The main reason I even wanted Nier was to get the floating swords for my Samurai. I was extremely disappointed by the lack of nier weapons. And as for the story that requires a lot of patience and strong beverages to piece together. It's an above average story (Nier itself not the FFXIV crossover) but the research into Drakengard and the books and such makes it a bit annoying.
I never liked the idea of this crossover. I mean, it adds interesting elements to the world-building of the NieR games... but in a series of raids in an advanced part of a MMORPG that has nothing to do with the NieR games. That said, thanks for this video. It's a good thing for people like me who don't want to play FFXIV.
You're very welcome. As a Nier fan I enjoyed playing through the raids and seeing all of the easter eggs, but as a FFXIV fan this raid series added nothing to the world of FFXIV and shouldn't have been there.
@@ChroniclerofLore Nier is a fantastic property but I always felt this raid story was very awkwardly meshed into the greater FFXIV landscape too. But I really did try to appreciate a lot of it's artistic elements though because the music is phenomenal. I sometimes think maybe if they combined the mechanical datascape elements of Omega here, some how some way, it could of felt more organically blended. But that's just my opinion. It was still incredibly fun.
I only know NieR: Automata's lore and I _barely_ understood _that!_ Can someone please explain to me what's with the orb and the connection to the Machine Lifeforms and so on?
@@Archris17 It's a little complicated, but basically there's an entity that won't rest until all intelligent life is wiped out. It was created by the Gods to wipe out humanity but it got thrown into "our world" and then was "killed" by a dragon. After that it became an incurable virus called White Chlorination Syndrome that wiped out humanity thanks to the failure of Project Gestalt. Now it's the Logic Virus that has taken control of the Terminal AI (the girl in red) and is trying to kill the machines (sent by aliens to take over the world) and the androids (which were created by the last humans...... or a certain good Boi named Emil). Clearly it's bored and wants to kill flesh lifeforms again which is why it's after Eorzea.
@@aisnota5192 Right okay, so... I know the Machine Lifeforms killed the aliens, but were they infected by the Logic Virus when that happened? Were they always infected? Secondarily, there's machines that split off from the network, like the Forest Kingdom or Pascal's village... Did they escape the virus? If the Watchers want to wipe out all sapient life, why did the virus lie dormant in YoRHa's systems so long? Why the constant cycle of war on Earth? At least I get why the orb came to The First - that part's relatively easy to follow, from that motivation. What I don't get is why Annogg, 2B and 9S were created, when they want to stop the destruction of the world. I also find it HILARIOUS that these ancient cosmic horrors get to The First, unleash their unstoppable and incomprehensible plans... And then get _backhanded right out of the fucking dimension_ by the Warrior of Light. I can just imagine the Girl In Red reeling back all like, "What the FUCK did we just poke?!"
**SPOILERS FOR ENDWALKER** I assumed that the reason the other shards couldn't be evacuated was because they were out of phase with the universe. But if the First had an alien invasion (which I just learned today) then so much for that theory.
@@ChroniclerofLore Monster Hunter?!?!? Yeah, that one actually makes sense. Nier and Garo don't make sense, but Monster Hunter is a goldmine for content.
@@ChroniclerofLore Not the first time Final Fantasy has done something like that either. 12 had what was basically a series of sidequests that was basically Monster Hunter minus the hack and slash.
Yeah I remember those. They were similar to the hunt system in FFXIV only way more involved and creative imo (like the hunt monsters that only appeared if your group was all women and such). I think they should do more with the solo hunts from the board in game.
The biggest issue is the fact that the story is pretty isolated and leaves a lot unanswered. Normally you're supposed to read deeply into Yoko Taro's work. This time I recommend you take it at face value. Machine lifeforms from another world invaded the First and attempted to destroy the world. Androids followed them to the First to stop them. Because of the WoL's inability to mind their own business, 2 Dwarf siblings dragged you into it and shenanigans followed.
I find the twins story fairly depressing. Its profoundly sad when someone you thought you knew isnt even the genuine version of themselves and its not even made clear until after they are long gone.
The Crystal Exarch made a mistake when he dragged my Warrior of Light from the Source to the First. He sucked the soul out of the other scions. He turned me into a lizard.
Thanks for another great lore summary. I was confused playing through the story; and once I watched this video, I think I can conclude that the story is empty nonsense, and doesnt mesh well with FF14 or its lore. The Bozja raid was a much more engaging story - could even have been part of MSQ.
The theory on Her inflorescence made me stop the video... Somehow I didn't think about that, it sounds great. Boi, I've gotten used to watching these videos while I craft with macros, soon I'll run out of them.
Usually I don't dive into my own theories and speculation all that much, but dealing with anything Nier related that's kind of mandatory if you don't want to give yourself a migraine. Since you're running low on vids I may have to speed up production a bit 😁
That's what I'm wondering, esp since Neir Automata has multiple endings.. so how does this even connect, somehow they got thrown into another universe?
@@novustalks7525 they probably found the seed of destruction that was left over from the apocalypse tha happened in Tokyo in drakengard 1 it’s all the same earth anyway so they entered it and it came all the way to the 1st shard in ffxiv not only does the seed of destruction act as a calamity but also a portal to other worlds
Because there was literally nothing there. Konogg sent us a lot of journal entries that went nowhere and then he wandered off with Anogg but we don't know what was going on since nothing was explained. I couldn't really add it since there was really nothing there of substance. Needless to say I was REALLY mad about that.
@@ChroniclerofLore fair. Lol and here I was hoping the final had something I missed and that’s why I didn’t understand any of it. I was assuming that was due to my never having played any related games, but it seems there just wasn’t anything *to* miss
I honestly think Yoko Taro wanted to troll us with a 6 week quest just to make us do it. Having played every game in the Drakengard/Nier series, that is definitely something he would do.
A theory a saw was the ark that was fired into space at the end of automa somehow dimension hoped to Ff14 and it carried the data of everything from that universe.
@@pebrockk That would make sense actually ,I always wondered what happened to that ark, would be cool to see it arrive on an alien planet or something and the cycle starts again.
@@ChroniclerofLore I finally finished that quest line and was confused by that ending, which lead me to your video to figure out what happened as it's been so long , it is a bit upsetting not getting a solid answer. I do appreciate your quick response!! Thank you for that and for the videos you've been making
@@ChroniclerofLoreif you've been doing the weekly quests for the town rebuilding, you get more Konogg messages. Turns out, yes, Anogg was an illusion Very depressing story imo
Just a tad, lol. It's funny that they've actually started making NPCs comment on it more. The dwarf twins spent the whole time talking about how you're a foolish yes man. And in Bozja you can actually refer to yourself as Eorzea's errand boy/girl.
How does it break the lore the wol already interacts with people from alternate worlds and universes, hell Gilgamesh is the same from all other final fantasy verses ,and killing world ending gods are Literally just Tuesdays for the wol
Check out my novel Eternal Reign here:

"The warrior of light should be dead." Yeah.. pretty much the main theme of FFXIV. Lol
Exactly. Some of the falls you take in dungeons alone should have killed the WoL long ago lol.
@@ChroniclerofLore maybe that is a part of the true secret of the echo. Maybe having more of a connection to the original beings from before the split means they can become akin to demigods on their respective worlds?
Considering the insane feats of strength that the WoL pulls off, that is not that hard to believe.

The music Yoko Taro has in all of his Nier games is phenomenal imo.
It's Zero from Drakengard 3 isn't it?
Yep. That's the one with the flower in her eye. That game needs a remake.

It still doesn't make sense. It totally breaks the lore of ffxiv and it's an empty and lazy story
After 5 weeks of additional "quests" they still haven't done anything with this. I'm EXTREMELY disappointed 😞
How does it break the lore the wol already interacts with people from alternate worlds and universes, hell Gilgamesh is the same from all other final fantasy verses ,and killing world ending gods are Literally just Tuesdays for the wol
