Pods are standard issue support units for the automated infantry squad, YoRHa. They’re equipped with various weapons, mainly for long-range attacks. They also provide support on the movement side. They act as a receive for transmissions from headquarters, and can also exchange strategy information with several machines.Pod 042 supports 2B and Pod 153 supports 9S.

Commander

Director of the Bunker, a base that floats in the satellite orbit, and the person in charge of commanding all YoRHa units. She conducts herself in a level and calm manner, but seems to care about 2B and 9S. It also seems she has some sort of connection to the YoRHa prototype model A2.

Operator 6O / 21O

Communications operators stationed at the Bunker. They are responsible for sending down orders to the automated infantry squad, YoRHa, and information analysis. Their personalities vary by individual. Operator 6O, who is in charge of 2B, is relatively cheerful. Operator 21O on the other hand, who is in charge of 9S, is calm and composed.

Adam and Eve

—Adam (left)

A mysterious, highly intelligent young man who wears glasses. He has a calm personality, but will take relentless action if it’s for his goal.

—Eve (right)

Adam’s twin brother. Compared to Adam, he is simple-minded and doesn’t think too much about things. He loves his brother Adam.

Pascal

Despite the fact that he is a machine life-form, he is a pacifist who dislikes conflict, and is exploring the road of peace with machine life-forms who have the same aspiration. He is a highly intelligent machine with an interest in the history of humanity and machine life-forms.

Devola and Popola

Devola and Popola are old-style Androids based at the resistance camp. They know of and feel indebted to their model of machines that ran rampant long ago. They’re unsual within the android community, as they’re model able to consume alcohol.

Emil

The same Emil from the original NieR. Most of his memory is gone due to the long years that have passed. His position in NieR: Automata is unknown.

■ Locations

Bunker

The Bunker is the headquarters of the automated infantry squad, YoRHa, which floats in the satellite orbit. From here, the Commander sends down orders to the YoRHa units through Pod transmissions, as well as drops down support materials and weapons.

Resistance Camp

The Resistance Camp is where the Androids that fell to Earth before the YoRHa squad are based. These Androids have organized their own resistance army and lend their support to 2B and 9S as they share a common cause—“for humanity.” Here, you can buy items, strengthen your Pods, and take on sub-quests.

What you in college for?
I was going for I.T.
Got an Associates in Network Security.
Switched it up though and now I'm doing my Master's in Business Administration.
My job is paying 100% of the tuition and they only require a one year commitment after graduation.

Jesus Christ yet another reason for my ps4 to collect dust. If my PC can handle it, thats my platform of choice :manny:

Just to add a bit of my thoughts, usually I hate action RPG's and would prefer my japanese rpgs to be traditional style, but original Nier's gameplay was smooth as hell, felt like an action game in a RPG world. No doubt from what we have seen that this one will be just as good.The big flaw from the first Nier was all the enemies had the same generic yellow look which I guess was due to budget, here everything looks way nicer.

Also hope the game isnt as depressing as the first :to:
