With Route A, I recorded a ton of the videos before editing and uploading any of them, but wasn't done with the playthrough by the time I did start uploading the videos. With Route B, I was completely done and had everything recorded before I began uploading anything. Route C, however, I'm actually uploading each segment right after I finish playing it. Everything I did in this video, I didn't start playing it until I'd finished editing and uploading the last video, so that time it took to edit the last video also gave me time to calm down and kinda get over it.

It's still really hard to swallow, though.

The screen I left off on in the last video, I'd actually left the game suspended on while editing the video, and because of that, I never saved the game, and thankfully so, because in editing I remembered that I never actually checked Operator 21O's room for the reward she said she'd leave for 9S.

I thought to myself "Was there even really a reward? How am I supposed to get it when I never get the chance to- OH!", and then realized that, where I had last saved (on the Bunker) was where my opportunity to check her room was.

So, I went back and I replayed it. I watched 6O die, the Commander die, all of YoRHa get destroyed, and watched 2B die, all over again, all so I could show you what 21O left for 9S in her room.

And of course, it just made me feel even worse! I mean, 2 or 3 of those chips were actually diamond ones (though in truth, Hijack Boost is actually most efficient at hitting its max potential with as little space cost if you have a +3 diamond and +4 diamond, instead of a +8 diamond, because both give you +9 levels to any machine you remote control, but a diamond +3 and +4 chip combined cost less space than a diamond +8 chip), but... poor Operator 21O...

She's gone! I never got to thank her for the gift!

And another interesting discovery I made, which I'd completely missed before, was while I was playing out the commentary I wanted to use for the video. Talking about the area's scenery, I strolled around a bit and... I came across 2B's crashed flight unit on the water bank. I mean, MAYBE it's not missable later, but I completely missed it as 2B. There seemed to have been something recorded by 2B herself on it, and now that I know about it, I can make sure to check it out as 9S, and... probably regret it too.

As for A2... well first off, it's definitely cool that you can play as her, and that she plays almost exactly like 2B, so that - gameplay-wise - everything's the way it was before. I also like her design, and can only assume that they decided to have her cut her hair in order to kinda look more like 2B (her own personal reasons for doing it, however, I don't know).

Though despite her playing the same as 2B, it won't feel like it for me, since I gave A2 completely different weapon combinations. Having a Small + Large Sword paired up with with Small on Light Attack and Large on Heavy Attack is WAY different than having Large on Light Attack and Small on Heavy Attack. The ONLY thing the two have in common is they have the same finisher (and I guess the same counterattacks, sort of). Everything else behaves much differently, so that'll be fun.

BUT, even though I have their Heavy/Light roles reverse, I got to pair the Iron Pipe and Iron Will like I said I would!

And of course, the Type-4O Lance and Type-4O Blade, for that clean shiny metal and powerful electric look, and that Spear + Large Sword combo finisher which is about as much pure sex as A2 is.

... what? A2's sexy. That's her design. I still prefer 2B's character, but I ain't gonna lie - A2 looks pretty fine.

And as far as personality (and silver hair, and her "dress"), she actually reminds me a lot of Kaine...

Anyway, the purpose of this video is also to give context to where I'll be going next with A2.. most likely. I'll probably mess around with a few non-story/dialogue things off-camera, but to you guys, you'll be seeing me go to the desert in the video being published tomorrow (which I haven't even played/recorded yet) as if it was the very next thing I did, because that's how pre-uploading videos and scheduling publish dates works.

As a final note... I really hope 9S will be ok. That final scream. That raw emotion. It.. didn't look well for him...
