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. Over the course of hundreds of operations, 2B was forced to kill 9S and wipe his memory countless times, an act that she came to hate for the pain it caused her after bonding with him over that time.ĢB, along with a squadron of other YoRHa units, is sent to the Abandoned Factory to eliminate a Goliath-class target. She was given the designation of 2B as a cover by the Commander, who gave her orders to observe one of the new Scanner models in action during YoRHa's operations against the machines.ĢB's role was to ensure that 9S would not discover the true nature of Project YoRHa by executing him in case he dug too deep because of the natural curiosity programmed into him.

6.3 War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave ExviusĢB was created an unspecified amount of times before the events of the game as part of the new line of YoRHa androids.I'm preparing to send Taro my therapy bills in advance. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kinds of character arcs both 2B and A2 go on, especially since we've seen so little of A2. I do wish Taro's female characters weren't automatically so sexualised in their design (I think the heels annoy me more than anything), but the writing and gameplay more than make up for it. Playing as Zero is a really rare female power fantasy, and I think the Kratos comparison is quite apt. This wasn't the article I was originally looking for, but it's a nice assessment on Zero as a character, and Drakengard 3. It's so refreshing to see/play female characters that don't have to be likeable. Taro's female characters are flawed, vile, angry, brave, funny, confident, and both Kaine and Zero go through a ton of character development. I've always wanted a female equivalent of Trevor in GTA, and I think Zero is the closest. Yeah, no one quite does female characters like Taro.

P.P.S: I have played the demo 3 times, and need to get back in FFXV (my Xmas present) but it's all I think about hehe This game, if it is anythng like or better than its demo, will be goty material for me. Not seeing anything objectionable, I let the kids watch through after they were drawn in by the music and sound effects, and we all went from one jaw drop wtf moment to another, until is was over too soon.Įverybody needs to play that F*ing demo. The design is glorious, gameplay fantastic, music score left me wanting for more and the setting and atmosphere really clicked for me. It went on my radar from a 'maybe, if reviews are raving about it' to 'F* yeah! Wh. I have no knowledge of Taro's work, never played Drakengard or the previous Nier, and all I knew was that it would be weird and action Jrpg ish.Īll the talk about the sexualized/ fetish stuff was not really enticing me either tbh. I have played the demo for the first time today, after hesitating for the longest time to do so.
