wtf they're gonna add 2B but not A2. Why you gotta do me like this

Depending on the costume parts they add, it will probably be pretty easy to customize 2B into A2, or just create A2 wholesale using the 2B fighting style.

For every 1000 people that ask for 2B in any fighting game, ~5 ask for A2

For every 1000 people that ask for A2, 1 asks for 6O

They considered A2, but where 2B accurately filled out the form for acting as a guest character, A2 just wrote "gently caress you!" repeatedly.

Most of the time, she misspelled it.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

Would a user created character using 2B's fighting style and Kaine's nightgown be close enough? Because one of the cosmetic items they're adding is Kaine's nightgown.

A2 is very cool and she and her Pod had the best dynamic in the game.

E: Also she was the only character who could taunt.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
A2 is what would happen if they designed a 2B model with a personality.

everyone can taunt they just don’t have it built into their melee attacks.

They were built with the same personality. It's just A2 had all her friends die due to being betrayed by command, while 2B betrays and murders her closest friend over and over again at the orders of command.

Also, A2 was probably dropped on her head a lot, because she's hilarious amounts of a dumbass.

Doesn’t come up as much as you think

Though I was more surprised because while she served her role in the story, that’s about it

The continuum of stage play to game A2 makes her the most interesting character in this whole shebangle. It’s kinda butchered by having the character arc spread over two mediums though

That’s fair making her backstory optional was a rather weird decision. Especially since they made Devola mandatory

I'd drop 9S a bit lower cause i was so tired of his "insane with grief" hissy fit but otherwise i'm on board

and i don't even know the full stageplay, just some cliff notes

The first production line of YoRHa units were... probably not the smartest. All those years without proper maintenance probably weren't doing A2 any favors, either.

I couldn't remember so I thought this was a joke but I looked it up and this is actually how you do it. I think your character actually does a taunt though. It raises the damage you deal and take and there are chips that increase that effect

ドーナツダメ!
I decided to do a replay of the C route after having completed most of the side quests I missed going through the game.

Holy gently caress, I just noticed the trip down memory lane after A2’s first boss pokes you in the eye about 2B’s true designation as 2E. And you get extra dialogue from a malfunctioning 6O during the Bunker escape sequence if you completed the Desert Rose quest for her.

Christ. :cry:
