Final Fantasy 14 Patch 5.1 Introduces First NieR: Automata Crossover Raid

Square Enix has released a new trailer for Final Fantasy 14: Shadowbringers’ patch 5.1, titled “Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty.” Along with some new main scenario quests, it also introduces the first part of the YorRHA: Dark Apocalypse raid. This is the raid series that crosses over with NieR: Automata featuring Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito as guest creators.

“The Copied Factory” requires 24 players and we see several large Machine bosses throughout the trailer. A 2B-like figure also plays a key role, though how the worlds ultimately crossover has yet to be explained. Other content that fans can look forward include a new dungeon, The Grand Cosmos, which takes place in a gorgeous palace.

New Game+ is also coming, allowing players to replay main scenario quests from all previous expansions while their progress carries over. If you want to relive the story, battles and dialogue throughout the game’s history, then New Game+ is for you. Patch 5.1 is out on October 29th for PS4 and PC so stay tuned in the meantime.
