[Edge Meltdown]

The game is set on a devastated Earth and depicts the violent battle between machine life forms and the humans’ android unit, “Yorha.” Akihiko Yoshida did the character design. On an image board published in the magazine, a hero-looking “Yorha No. 2 Type B” character is shown equipped with a katana and great sword. With the “Pod” support system, long distance attacks are also possible.

Spoiler for Additional Info:

Some things that we learn from the new trailer:

2B’s weapons seem to float or seamlessly affix to her back without touching.
Battles are pretty dang fast-paced! Much like that of the original NieR!
There seems to be multiple attacks for each weapon type; katana vs. heavy sword.
The magic bullets of the original NieR make a comeback for you to dodge with all your might in battle!! This time around, they appear much brighter with a glowing, circular outline.
2B is able to grab ahold of “Pod” for some awesome-looking aerial stunts!
Much like Weiss’ magic bullet attack in the original game, “Pod” appears to be able to do some attacking of its own!

I’m also in the process of uploading the interview with Yoko Taro and Saito Yosuke, but here are some things that we learned from them:

Emi Evans has *not* been confirmed yet.
2B’s weapons appear to “float” just off of her back due to magnetism.
“Pod” will talk but not in a similar fashion to Weiss. Yoko Taro called it more of a “car navigation” sort of thing.
2B can grab ahold of “Pod” in order to reach things and enemies normally out of range.
The Beastlord sword looks like it’s back!

Now that we're getting a sequel, I got one question I have in mind... Is Japan going to give us the Shoujo version or a MILF/GILF version of the MC when it comes out in the US?
