At the expense of 23 other strangers in Final Fantasy 14’s first Nier: Automata raid, I spent almost a week of 2019 on a rampage of 2B-fueled boss rushes. It was on a mission to take the beloved Catgirl who roamed MMOs as a hapless YoRHa knockoff and dress her in authentic Nier clothing. RNG was not kind.
