There are also two scenes that only worked really well in the original because of how it affected the gameplay similar to the twists from Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater where only the player feels most of the shock rather than the character.

The images in the commander's room at the end shows she's killed him countless times before. The kill we saw in this ep was one of the first times she killed him, and she began to distance herself from him (note that she was calling him Nines the entire time, something she refuses to do in present time despite his insistence). That never really worked and she became more and more wracked with guilt. The reason they keep bringing 9S back to factory reset instead of disposing of him forever is because he is ridiculously good at his job. The problem is that he's too good at it, and always ends up uncovering the big secret Yorha is hiding, hence the need for 2B (actually 2E) to act as his executioner so one of him isn't allowed to go rogue. Incidentally, the only thing from the game in this ep was the Amnesia side-quest. It happens fairly early in the game, at a point where you'd never suspect 2B is one of those E units. 2B killing 9S is actually never shown in the game, only implied through dialogues. I think a simple "X years before Adam and Eve's death" would have cleared up the confusion.

Dude! Episode 1 and they are already doing different stuff from the game! Also, the opening video is quite a spoiler for what will happen in contrast to the previous one which seemed to be more symbolic about 2B and 9S's chase across the planet

Finally watched the episode.
Personally I think the suicide kind of falls flat, considering they're highly durable androids and should have survived the fall anyway. I still think putting a date to these events would be counterproductive because they're meant to be vague until later. Maybe they should have considered airing this episode earlier though. Quote:

Ah, right. How could I forget about Emil? I wonder if that was just a one off cameo or if they're actually going to explore him in the anime. Won't make much sense for people who haven't played Nier Replicant though, but the lunar tear is in the ED.

Emil could be fought as a superboss hidden. However, we have to use 9S to fight him rather than 2B due to the former's hacking ability. I don't remember well the scenario but similar to everything Yoko Taro writes, it can get depressing
