In the ensuing battle, she does, leaving Adam to die in a pool of his own blood. Seeing this sends 2B into a rage, vowing to kill her machine adversary. He also reveals that he has captured 9S, impaling him in a manner similar to crucifixion. Adam lies in wait for her, explaining that he created the city in his attempts to understand humans. She searches for him desperately and her search eventually leads her to the Copied City. Later, during an operation against the titanic machine Grun, 9S is blasted away by the ensuing explosion and separated from 2B. They also encounter Pascal, a pacifistic machine who leads a village of equally minded machine lifeforms, and A2, a deserter android who used to be a part of YoRHa many years ago. During their operations on the surface, 2B and 9S witness the birth of and fight Adam and Eve, two humanoid machines who were created by the machine network with the intent of discovering the secrets of humanity. Seeing this visibly disturbs 2B, despite 9S' insistence that the machines don't have actual emotions. During their endeavors, 2B and 9S notice how many of their machine lifeform enemies are docile, with some having begun to take on human traits. Realizing that 9S has forgotten her yet again, 2B clenches her fist in frustration.Īfter having her boot sequence taken care of by 9S, the pair are sent to Earth in order to provide reconnaissance information and establish contact with the Resistance planetside. However, as there wasn't enough bandwidth and time, 9S only managed to send 2B's memories with his only intact up to the point of before meeting her. It is revealed that after detonating their black boxes, 2B's data was uploaded back to the Bunker and transferred to a new body, ensuring her survival. Faced with overwhelming odds, the pair are forced to detonate their black boxes in order to destroy the Goliaths. After the target is destroyed, 2B and 9S reunite, only for three more Engels machines to appear and attack them. 9S implores her to leave him to finish the mission and 2B hesitantly complies. After 2B makes her way to the top the briefly disabled Goliath, she finds a mortally wounded 9S and is briefly overcome with emotion in an attempt to save him. A fight ensues and 9S is severely damaged in the process. The pair explore the factory and are unable to find their target until it comes to life on the outskirts of the building. After becoming the only survivor of the assault, she meets up with her assigned Scanner, 9S. Horny is good, but there’s a time and a place for it.2B, along with a squadron of other YoRHa units, is sent to the Abandoned Factory to eliminate a Goliath-class target. The androids in Automata are dressed in a way that would prove appealing to their deceased human overlords, and they do look fabulous, but it isn’t enough to pull away from an aesthetic that is distracting in the worst possible way. Taro in the past has tried to justify exactly why some of his characters are dressed like this, but it often boils down to girls being very pretty and worth admiring over anything thematically worthwhile. I’m a hardcore supporter of 2B’s thighs and other such assets, but can only justify their relevance to the plot for so long before I’m accidentally buying a body pillow off ebay.ĢB’s excellent arc is frequently undermined by creepy butt shots and camera angles that are more than happy to paint her as a sexual object and little else. Yoko Taro’s masterpiece is visually inconsistent, requires a lot of patience to reach its finest moments and leans into gratuitous fanservice a little too much for its own good. Nier Automata is one of my favourite games ever, but I’d be a fool to say it was flawless.
