She was dispatched to monitor 11B who was planning on going AWOL. I don't think all of them use code names, just some of them. Depends on the mission, probably. 2B's was a long-term assignment.

My money's on the ship crashing somewhere and causing new problems for someone else.

iospace posted:point, but I'd prefer ending E as canon. Though does the ship launch if you get that one too? I got E on the tail end of C,did D first.

IIRC, letters are tied to model-type and function, numbers denote the base personality - so 2B and A2 are both derived from the same "Person," which makes a lot of sense from a thematic standpoint (if true).

Yeah, Drakengard and Nier got tons of side material, most of which is confined to Japan (though fan translations exist).Ainsley McTree posted:I feel like this is a decent description of Drakengard 3 itself; did the manga make it even worse? Also, one of the protagonists is an elf whose hobbies include rape and carrying around the still-living head of an immortal boy with a disease so he can spread that disease to as many people as possible for the lols, which always struck me as exactly the kind of chaotic evil character a disaffected teenager brings to his local D&D table.

Can't wait for this to turn out to be a prank only for Taro Yoko to decide to announce his next project coincidentally at the same time just to screw with everyone.

One of these days I'll pick up Nier rerelease but, I confess, I'm still partial to Father Nier and still kinda bummed he's not available, not even as DLC. I know Brother Nier was the original and a lot of the plot threads make more sense with a younger protagonist and Father Nier was basically invented by the marketing department to appeal to Americans, but dang it, it worked, I love the big lug, and Jamieson Price did a great job voicing him.

Yeah, Brother Nier hits pretty much every single story beat better, and in a vacuum where I never knew otherwise, I'd have no issues with Replicant. I'm sure I'll play it eventually and go "Wow, yeah, this really fits better," but something about Father Nier just works for me. I'm not the kinda guy who shies away from cute games or pretty boy protagonists either, but I miss my ugly papa. When the returning English VAs did a video where they all signed a copy of Grimoire Weiss and Price was the only one missing, I felt let down.

It's been years since I played Nier: Gestalt, but I don't recall Emil saying anything (in that version) I'd interpret as crushing on Father Nier. I later learned he had a crush on Brother Nier and said "Oh, okay" and figured it was something they expanded on in the side materials. I wouldn't be surprised if they just decided to make it more overt in the remake. Emil is still very "Attached" to Father Nier (and Brother Nier, I'd imagine), but I always read that as him latching onto a makeshift parental figure after being accepted despite what happened to him. He's an affectionate person by nature, and despite what certain pockets of the Internet will tell you, it's entirely possible for two dudes to share an emotional connection without crushing on each other (I say, but also acknowledge Emil does, in fact, like Brother Nier romantically).
