First of all, what an excellent game, immediately in my top 3 games oat, plan on playing Replicant sometime soon in the future.
questions are both story and gameplay related.
My first question is about how 2B is 2E. They mention how she "keeps" killing 9S, and I have seen in other discussions this supposedly happens like 48 times or something. But when do these actually happen? I infer that it would be before the game starts, however I never got the impression that 2B knew 9S before the factory mission. So unless I missed a small moment or forgot one near the start then I am not sure. Of course this could just be 2B suppressing her emotions but yeah just not really sure about this lol.
In the game I have picked up +7 level chips from other players bodies, but they are no where to be found in my inventory, why is this? You can only fuse chips up to +6 as far as I'm aware so yeah this confuses me a bit sorry.
Started watching the anime adaptation as I heard good things about it, and there seems to be a lot of changes. I understand that a lot of these are related to Replicant so that's fine. What I was actually wondering was if the CGI models were actually just straight up taken from the game itself. Because they look identical, (even Virtuous Contact in the OP) if this is the case that would be really cool :D
What actually are Adam and Eve? Obviously machines, and some sort of evolved form I guess? but it all seems a bit up in the air I guess. This could be intentional which if that is the case then that's fine.
Why is Pascal so different to basically every other machine? Intelligence they kinda explained as reading lots of books, but even Pascal's model is entirely different and almost seems entirely immune to going crazy like all the other machines.
Ok this one is a bit weird, but during my B playthrough, entering the area before the desert city complex, I fought a golden version of the tank. I could have sworn 9S said something like "huh, haven't I fought something like this before" but it was before meeting the actual tank in the amusement park. Maybe I misread what he said as I was fighting but I don't think I did. What does this imply? Because I was under the impression that the B playthrough was the same timeline as the A playthrough just from the perspective of 9S. There were small changes but I assumed most of them were more so for gameplay purposes, like the gold enemies for example, but this line really threw me off. Maybe I am overthinking it but idk.
Sorry if any of these are just me being dumb, forgetting or missing something, but I promise that it isn't on purpose! I thought it would be best to consult the experts so I really appreciate any/all responses I get!! Thanks again!
