Isn't the setting of Nier our world in a post apocalyptic future after the final boss of a JRPG game came in through a portal?

It continues on from Drakengard's final ending (that series has the same tradition of like five endings minimum) which goes completely wtf, also involves the dragon riding protagonist beating said final boss in a rhythm game, then getting shot down by fighter jets to get impaled on a skyscraper spire. There's some secondary material that I'm not sure is in game or in English which details the aftermath of such, it seems to involve salt zombies.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Papa NiER had some DLC involving Brother Nier anyway. I mostly remember it from The Dark Id's LP. The way I remember it the DLC was the same for both versions of the game and just happened to have Yung Nier without any real context or plot relevance but it's been a decade. It was basically a bunch of hard combat trials (which kind of made the combat system finally tick in a way the main game never quite did).

That's actually the audio drama I mentioned. 'Salt zombies' is a pretty good brief, but there were stronger ones that maintained some semblance of humanity called the 'Red Eyes' that acted as leaders. None of this, whatsoever, is in either Nier outside of I think a very vague mention in Automata. But there's parts of the latest FFXIV expansion (the one with Nier Automata raids) that might be that same stuff.

Cleretic posted:Nier Plot Bullshit is so insane and weird that there's legitimate grounding for a theory that something in Final Fantasy XIV's main plot might actually be from a Japan-only Nier audio drama. And it wouldn't even be that weird, considering that FFXIV's latest expansion includes a Nier character that technically first appeared in Soul Calibur. Where this loses me is when a bunch of that stuff never gets translated or proper international releases, so you end up having to wiki trawl to get the gist of it instead of getting to actually enjoy the material.

Nah it's in the OG Nier when you confront Devola and Popola. You get a bunch of documents that basically explain everything. When Caim came through the portal a bunch of magic residue came through too and hosed over mankind making those salt zombies and red eyes.

I'm sure we're close to seeing some VC-backed, Bay-area company with a '6YearsofHolocaust' diet plan.

The Lone Badger posted:I thought the magical pollution came from the carcass of the dragon. The stuff that caused people to turn into salt (or berserkers, if they survive the saltening) came from the final boss giant pregnant lady, and the particles that allowed people to start using magic probably came from the dragon corpse that they did experiments on. The Nier backstory is weird, but awesome.

Several years ago this commercial aired in Chicago where there are several family-owned pizza chains. I felt like maybe this wasn't the best way to show off your wares:

He looks like he's about 5 minutes away from the old Yoshi's Island commercial.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Focus group design is awful in general, people respond to a design that has an obvious consistent tone and voice to it. Doing video game focus groups are amazing, literally nobody every agrees and the participants all complete dumbasses. I was in one for a mobile game that had a ton of controversy at reveal and we all cheered when we realized what drama we got to revel in while the developers were listening. The only thing we agreed on was a monthly price point of $6.66 (in case you hadn't figured out what game it was yet) because it sounded cool. You can't expect to get real data from a bunch of college students, unemployed weirdos and bored idiots getting paid $125 to argue about video games for an hour.
