YoRHa: Dark Aftermath

AU-00 YoRHa Main-H.png

Summary.

I was created with blood on my hands. I was born from the death of innocent lives. To rewrite the cruel fate that awaits me, I will fight till the bitter end… Towards a future I know not.

YoRHa: Dark Aftermath is a miniseries loosely based on “YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse,” a 24-player alliance raid trilogy introduced in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, a MMORPG by Square Enix. The raid premise is based on the 2017 action JRPG, NieR: Automata, by PlatinumGames and Square Enix. The creative team behind the NieR series—director and writer Yoko Taro, and composer Keiichi Okabe—were invited as guest collaborators.

This project features multi-genre writing with experimental styles that are used to portray the chaotic inner worlds of various characters in the story. As the canon questline is fairly short and compact, this miniseries aims to expand on the existing lore further through references from NieR and its predecessor, Drakengard. Original ideas exploring what-if scenarios are also included, paying homage to the multiple ending routes in the games.
