So, first things first, I want to speak towards what I'm expecting to see from Nier Raid 2.

If we're fighting in the remains of the bunker, I imagine we're going to be seeing minimal stubby presence. Which I imagine is going to throw off some of the people who haven't played Automata. Now what I'm wondering is...

Will the logic virus still be active?

Because I wholely, WHOLELY expect Yoko Taro to abuse the shit out of us. I'm expecting boss two to be 6O, and the final boss to be Commander White.

Of course, I could be wrong, and we could be facing stubbies in greater numbers, but the bunker is home to HOW MANY damaged and infected YoRHa units?

Factor in that we still don't know how we're THEY'RE going to deal with 9S, and raid 2 is going to hurt. But that's NOTHING compared to what Raid 3 is going to do to us.

There is no way at all that we get through this whole raid series without seeing 2B, A2, Adam, and Eve. Terminals? Who knows, but those four? We're gonna get the shit ripped out of our hearts...

And just speaking on the escalation we're looking at, I and I'm sure everyone else expects the last raid to be the ruins of the tower.

Which means we're probably gonna just walk right by Devola and Popola's bodies...

Non-automata players will take note and think its weird. Automata players will be EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED.

Of course, since everyone IS expecting that, I'm half wondering if we're going to have to deal with either the carnival or, god forbid, GRUN...

That would be kinda badass, though. The warrior of light fighting a multi-phase fight against the damn Leviathan.

We already did it against Alexander, it would be fitting.
