YES! Nier AST is finally here!
I have a lot to say, so I hope you’ll bear with me for a while!

Why Did Nier AST Take So Long?
For a long time, we were promised a big rework for AST. Over the years, AST has gone through many changes and modifications, so I wanted to wait for the rework to release before I started working on it. Additionally, I knew I wanted to create custom art for the cards (and more), which I anticipated would take quite some time.

Anyway, now that the mod is here, it doesn’t matter how much AST changes in the future—I can adapt it with a bit of work!
My Ideas for AST

I didn’t want to simply use Nier-related symbols or logos for the cards—or worse, do nothing with the cards and just add some VFX that pops up on the target. I think most people would agree that the cards are one of the most defining aspects of AST, so I wanted to create something that truly stands out.

In my opinion, the original cards are too small to appreciate their art, so I decided to go with a stained-glass art style featuring the characters. This approach adds a more artistic and beautiful feeling to the cards. I loved this style so much that I used the illustrations in other skills (in different shapes and formats).

  1. This looks very, very good. I really love all the different animations that go into this one and character references. Also, happy that Nier got the description he did. I. . . can't hide my distain for some characters lol. I can't wait to buy it (Not in a good headspace atm but when things clear up I will get this.)

  2. First of all, congratulations on completing the entire NieR series. This is a great feat🎉🎉. And this AST pack is definitely on another level, especially these hand – drawn cards😍! They're incredibly beautiful! Along the way, we can see that your VFX and SFX have improved a lot. I'm really looking forward to seeing your next series😘!

  3. I adore this one! Love the custom cards, especially! My only gripe is for earthly star, I played with it today, and I'm glad you have a model remove option for 2b. Would you be willing to update and possibly have an option to also remove the music from Earthly Star?? Im sorry it's just super distracting.

    Love all the work you do and can't wait to see more!
