Yoko Taro is making a Nier-themed Final Fantasy 14 raid

Announced at Final Fantasy 14 fan festival in Paris, several of the new raids coming in FF14's next expansion will be created by Nier's game designer, Yoko Taro, and Dragon Quest producer Yosuke Saito. The raid itself is called Yorha: The Dark Apocalypse and it will be themed directly after Nier: Automata—though it's unclear how the crossover will work exactly.

Yorha: The Dark Apocalypse will be one of the new alliance raids in Shadowbringers, a special kind of raid that sees three teams of 24 work through the raid together. They're especially dramatic and fun, but this isn't the first time that Final Fantasy 14 had legendary game designers help make a raid. During the current expansion, Stormblood, Final Fantasy Tactics creator Yasumi Matsuno created a raid themed after Ivalice, the world used in Tactics and Final Fantasy 12.

Details about how Yorha: The Dark Apocalypse will fit in with the FF14 mythos and when it will release are yet to be revealed. We will update this post when we know more, but for now check out the livestream above to watch the full reveal.
