The latest major update for Final Fantasy XIV is upon us. Patch 5.3, Reflections in Crystal, has plenty of new content for denizens of Hydaelyn - new story quests which wrap up the main narrative of Shadowbringers, new dwarf tribe quests and dailies, and a revamp of old content.
Most exciting, however - at least for those of us invested in the ongoing collaboration between Nier series lead creative Yoko Taro and the FFXIV development team - is the next installment in the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse crossover event. As well as a new batch of story quests advancing the plot of the crossover, patch 5.3 brings a brand new Nier-themed raid, The Puppets' Bunker.
If you haven't been following the android antics over the past couple of game updates, worry not; here's a rundown of the story so far. Having resolved the main events of Shadowbringers, our hero (insert your character's name here, the more ridiculous and out of place, the better) is drawn into the petty goings on of an archaeological dig site in Kholusia.
