FFXIV - Copied Factory FIRST IMPRESSIONS! (24 Player NieR raid)

[@Multifridgeman]

Listening to my nier fan friends yell over discord while running this blind was the highlight of 5.1

[@Zayindjejfj]

Literally every one of my favorite content creators were yelling in joy and agony playing this raid. It's awesome.

[@Papiereule]

I can only imagine. Went with a friend, too, and while I was loosing it at the last boss of the raid and the music, she had to laugh so hard. More so because I told her before, that I was hoping to hear something like Weight of the World :'D

[@Waffersforever]

My FC had me and a friend who knew the story of the games explain it to them, and it took....a while. :D

[@icantthinkofaname1009]

I introduced my best friend to Nier Automata and he absolutely loved it. After finishing ARR I convinced him to play FF14 and we basically did all shared content from HW on together. We finally got to run Copied Factory this week and decided to go in blind and we were mutually geeking out over discord the entire time. It was nice to get to share that experience with someone who liked the source material as much as I did.

[@Gamemaster-64]

Then there me who sees this as another raid.

[@Aoenias]

"If anyone was gonna put deep meaningful lore in a crossover event, it would be him!" By the way, I hope none of you breathed in that "mineral dust" at the final area.

[@Lorkanthal]

would it have the same effect on someone who has also jumped worlds though?

[@Lucy-pk9ne]

Why would it be maso ? Maso as never been explained as visible to the eye

[@YouCalledForTheDoc]

sayuri Erm, Maso is pretty clearly able to be seen going by Drakengard’s ending. And if its not Maso its probably the salt remnants of bodies infected by the Maso who died in WCS

[@Lucy-pk9ne]

@@YouCalledForTheDoc i mean we need to remember we're in a context of crossover, if maso is even in the world of ffxiv that would mean wayyy too much stuff and same if it's just the remnants of the ones that died from it Imo nuclear snow makes more sense but maybe you're right

[@Lucy-pk9ne]

@@YouCalledForTheDoc i just checked and you don't see any maso in the drakenguard ending e +by the beginning of nier automata all the maso has been sent into another dimension with magic used by replicants so it is definitely not maso and it's not salt from the dead infected considering how much time there would have been between them turning into salt and the beginning of nier automata (especially since this crossover seems to be set after ending e) so it's just dust or nuclear snow who knows

This Raid had me had so many feelings... so many... I kinda want to play the game once more just to see the cutscenes...

[@erebostenebris3954]

.... "9S became one with the machine network at the end of the game" someone clearly did not play to the actual ending.

[@levipederson1278]

@fakemalegamer the A and B routes are the prologue. Route C with D and E endings are the true endings

[@Evnyofdeath]

Ending D gives the player the option to upload 9S's consciousness into the Ark. As far as I know there isn't a statement on which choice is canon. And since Ending E simply continues from C/D...

[@erebostenebris3954]

@@Evnyofdeath There is absolutely no way this is a continuation from the uploaded to the ark version of the ending. The whole point of uploading his consciousness to the ark is supposed to symbolize him finally coming to peace with himself, and setting aside his differences with the machines. Furthermore, if this did come from that choice, and this was the result of him and the machines flying across the universe until they came to eorzea, then there would be no other androids there. 9S was the only android who joined the ark. There wouldn't be any conflict with 2P and there sure as hell wouldn't be THAT room full of dead 2Bs. Which means that there are only two possibilities, either this is a continuation from the true ending in which the pods restore 9S, 2B and A2, or this is the result of an entirely new ending that wasn't in the game. Lets call it ending FF. Regardless that is completely ignoring the purpose of my original comment. It is clear that the dude hadn't played past the very first ending. He didnt say that 9S joined the ark, he said he became part of the machine network, which is what happens at the end of route A.

[@Umbral927]

Erebos Tenebris Except he did; he streamed it on his Twitch channel and deleted his save file in Ending E. I think he was referring to 9S joining the machine network because his eyes flash red during his final fight with A2.

[@kiraina25]

@@erebostenebris3954 Well, 9S could have attempted to recreate 2E after the ark landed and they established the ruins.

[@sniderealism2410]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I don't want to fight Emil a second time. D:

[@DibsSolidor]

i mean, there probably will be three raids.. so i hope the second one will be the amusement park and the third one be the copied city. my life would be complete

[@shadowthehedgehog181]

I suspect the last one will be in relation to the Copied City or The Tower (or both) based on what we saw in Mt. Gulg

[@shihoblade]

They showed the end area for Gestalt so Im thinking this is much earlier than the Automata plot. If so you arent likely to see Automata specific places like the amusement park or copied city. Storywise they cant exist yet.

[@i.147]

​@@shihoblade The 9s model was created 3 years before the events of Automata, and we see him here. It's not number 9, its explicitely a 9s model. The Amusement Park was certainly not created by androids (no reason to do so) or Replicants (dont have the technology to do so). The machines found there probably took care of the Amusement Park which would explain why its not in ruins, but it was probably built prior to the 6-12 incident. The Tattered Pamphlet you find there confirms that. A lot of places from Automata, like the City Ruins or the Forest Castle existed prior to the Gestalt Project. The Amusement Park could totally exist, even if the events in ffxiv happened before Nier Automata. And where did they show the end area from Gestalt ? The Grand Cosmos dungeon does have a room that looks like the ballroom from the Shadowlord's castle but its not exactly the same, its probably a reference.

[@shihoblade]

@@i.147 I didnt mean build the amusement park, I meant find it in the state we know it as now during the Automata period. If it is close to the Gestalt period then machines would be new and possibly haveny started imitating humanity yet. I was referring to that ballroom. I wasnt aware that there is another ballroom somehwere else. Is that in FF14? Just a reference?

[@lumikani4826]

Shihoblade you might have already found out since your comment is a month old, but it was a dungeon from the FFXIV main story - nothing to do with the first Nier, but it sure looked like it at the time

[@SeanIsAFatty]

Wait a minute... You said he becomes one with the machines at the end... DID YOU NOT GET ENDING E?

[@KonDragon008]

It's just one of many endings, though. I heard that Neir Automata was based off of an alternate ending from Gestalt.

[@SeanIsAFatty]

@@KonDragon008 A and B endings aren't complete endings, as C and D continue the story. E is the meme ending where you play Galactica with ending credits as a POD. NieR: Automata is an alternate ending when you are unable to stop the spread of Dragonblood in the original NieR game. The disease mentioned in the game, as well as the lore surrounding it simply highlights the aftermath of the failure to stop it's spread from the original game.

[@jacobkern2060]

@@SeanIsAFatty Ending E is the full ending, though, continuing off of Endings C and D. The Ark is launched, Nines chooses whether or not he wants to take a ride on the network, and the pods decide to not wipe everything like they have for the past however many story resets.

[@SeanIsAFatty]

@@jacobkern2060 Correct. The joke is focused around the final mission of taking on the credits. It wasn't necessary to do but Yokotaro decided to do it because he can.

[@erebostenebris3954]

@@KonDragon008 Ending E is the actual cannon ending. If you don't play to it then you haven't actually beat the game.

[@GothKiitsune]

Song of ancients omg I love that song!

[@KonDragon008]

When I first ran this, I had no clue what was going on because I've never played Nier. Second time I ran it, I had watched a Let's Play and understood the hype...and the music for the final boss was much more emotional. Now I need to see if I can explore the area again and read the log notes now that I understand more of the Nier lore. I'm hoping that 9S isn't going to be a recurring bad guy, though. Curious how both this 9S and 2P both wanted to kill each other. Wouldn't it be cool if it turned out that in this version, machines are the "good guys" and 2P is actually a "bad guy" trying to stop them? I dunno...I think that's be a fun twist. Usually in raids and what-not, we're following an NPC who is on the side of good, so it'd just be neat if things aren't what they seem/appear with this raid.

[@aly00ps15]

Yeah, I didn't get the hype surrounding the raid, personally. Watching a Let's Play would certainly help, thank you for the idea. :)

[@lanteanboy]

I'm gonna say it's very likely that this raid series has us be the "bad guys" since Yoko Taro is also known for mentally fucking his players and we have NEVER heard of the P class androids before which I believe means: Pretender

[@PurpleAlzir]

@@lanteanboy It showed up in Soulcalbiur 6 as 2B's alternate costume and was 2P because it was for the second player. Though I could see him having P stand for Pretender class.

[@harryunderwood9387]

Happy to see more of NieR, but I am bothered by how come Song of the Ancients is playing for random machine bosses. Then again, you probably couldn't have Devola and Popola showing up.

[@ponderingForever]

I've been saying that since I first played actually. The song has such strong image in the first game and a great moment in Automata. For it to be for the smaller bosses felt very strange. It's likely that these bosses were given this song to get it to the fans quickly as a popular theme should the characters not appear throughout.

[@starorigin1775]

Song of the Ancients plays when you fight Shadow Lord in Gestalt/Replicant, though, and isn't really tied to Devola and Popola at that point in the game

[@harryunderwood9387]

@@starorigin1775 Ah, forgot about that. Though this does reinforce my point, as I think it's the fact that variations were made (and literally named after) those two in NieR that I attribute it to them, plus it feels wrong to have it for such a common boss - we went from Devola, Popola and the Shadowlord, to this?

Definitely comes with the design. First playthrough may feel long, it's raw bayonetta gameplay in fetch-quest style progression. Simple stuff. Second gives you story by replaying the backdrop to the first session where things aren't as they seem.
