New Final Fantasy XIV Video Tells the Story of the Glorious NieR: Automata Crossover

Today Square Enix released a brand new video of Final Fantasy XIV, talking about the story behind the NieR: Automata crossover. 

The video stars Final Fantasy XIV producer and director Naoki Yoshida, NieR: Automata creator Yoko Taro, and producer Yosuke Saito as they talk about the creation of the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse series of raid.

If you’re wondering, it’s a heavily story-driven series of 24-man raids that brings the worlds of Final Fantasy XIV and NieR: Automata together, and it’s arguably (try to argue against it if you can) the best crossover ever implemented in an MMORPG.

At the moment only the first chapter has been released, and the second will come with update 5.3 in the summer.

You can check out the video below.
