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).
