From NieR to Everywhere: We Rank The Best Gaming Crossovers of NieR: Automata's 2B

[@ErenTheWarcriminal]

Yoko Taro is quoted saying he will do anything for money lol

[@NoisyPixelNews]

I interviewed him once. Charming man - Azario

[@ErenTheWarcriminal]

@@NoisyPixelNews gotta love his sense of humor

[@ChronoX720]

Will he make a Drakengard Trilogy Remaster, or a new NieR game for money? 🤑

[@akhsanarrazi7825]

i remember him cursing square enix while promoting nier automata t shirts 😂

[@suhaimiar2560]

Hahaha Nice🤑🤑😂😂

[@MikeTheGreek]

To me Stellar Blade collaboration is the best so far and the worst goes to Ubisoft's 2B from Siege.

[@furyberserk]

Personally, it's pgr. You get all 3 at once and some costumes killing machines.

[@ErenTheWarcriminal]

I really, really want a Gravity Rush 3

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Same

[@J7S-aquarius]

👍 We al want more gravity rush! And 2b!

[@noctisarcanus7894]

Gravity Rush was a true masterpiece. I played both games so much, took so many photos, did every single little quest and at the end, I couldn't believe how amazing that experience was. But, tbh, I think it had a perfect ending. I think a remake could be a nice idea, with updated current gen graphics and especially if they merge both games into one, that'd be great! Another posibility would be a prequel. But idk , I feel the game wasn't very popular. Only the bunch of us who played both of them are the only fans of it :/

[@user-sz6hk1nv3o]

I want the 2 games on pc also gravity rush 3 will be amazing

[@jogymogy3691]

Me too. Glad I have the games and OSTs

[@naitorain]

My favorite 2B collabs are from Punishing Gray raven and Naraka Bladepoint

[@Vynne96-jg7er]

2B in NIKKE, Soul Calibur 6, Granblue Fantasy and Stellar Blade are my favorites as well

[@RicochetForce]

The 2B Everywhere System is powerful indeed. And you’re right she looks both cool and hot, which allows her to fit in a LOT of settings. Soul Calibur 6’s City Ruins stage even has cameos from 9S, A2, Pascal, and the Red Girls.

[@timalice-2833]

The copied family is still my favorite raid and the Weight of the World Prelude at the end of the raid is one of my favorite songs in the series. Also, the 2B outfit took over Eorzea when it was released. Even now 2 expansions later, you can’t do a 24 player raid without seeing someone in either the thigh high boots and/or the bottoms which give your character stockings and 2B’s butt

[@BrandonHeat243]

I thought Punishing: Gray Raven did a very good job with 2B. That collab had a lot more content then most of the other collabs too.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Sadly this list was kind of locked to me since no one else on staff had capacity to help :/ I’ve played only a bit of Grey Raven, but I missed the 2B event.

[@TakiGamesOfficial]

PGR’s collab was nuts. Retained a big chunk of 2B A2 and 9S’s movesets. They were the #1 physical meta team for a long time. If you coughed up gems to SSS them, they were the fastest character swapping team in the game and benefited from this insane playstyle.

[@Vynne96-jg7er]

NIKKE collab with Nier Automata is also great and had a lot of contents.

[@jackgerambo]

All there collabs are the proof that most of the people love the OG 2B Yui Ishikawa. I love the eng dub so much but I have played NieR Automata 5 times so I know how much 2B is reduced in the translations.

[@dsan17]

You forgot to mention the music of the FFXIV raid. That FFXIV Battle Theme, FF Prelude and Weight of the World combined was so epic. Raiders even died cause they had to do a double take when it hit (I know I did).. It was also wroked on by Keichi Okabe (Composer for Nier and Nier: Automata).

[@NoisyPixelNews]

It’s amazing!

[@dracotias]

Also worth noting the FFXIV raids ARE considered to be a Canon timeline.

[@rivenoak]

2B garb for everyone (and their lalafell) was the fitting reward as well.

[@dsan17]

@@rivenoak That's where Ubisoft got their 2b Model for R6 Siege. From Male Human warrior wearing it.

[@jaykimjay]

Thanks for the 4 seconds homage of Leon in 2B costume from Rainbow Six Siege

[@richardchaney7295]

Seems like 2B is the most popular game character ever.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

She’s the champion of my broken heart

[@DieselJT]

This is 💯 correct!!!!!!

[@jackgerambo]

Not only popular but most well-written character. Sadly, her back stories are mostly outside the game. But if you played the Jap dub then you know why people love 2B.

[@ZephyrK.]

Nah, Yoko Taro just never turns down collabs (he loves money)

[@merciless972]

Terry from king of fighters is trying to catch up to her.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Give me more Fem Terry from SNK Heroines lol

[@ZephyrK.]

She’s trying to catch up to him. Terry has a female version, where is male 2B?!

[@furyberserk]

​@@ZephyrK. Ubisoft.

[@DiogoLZ]

@@furyberserk Good one LMAO

[@Drfunk910]

She was also in NARAKA,PGR, one of my fav was the mobile Star Ocean anamnesis. I feel the same I wish for stellar it was actually 2b and A2 with some plot instead of just cosmetic. Thanks for sharing

[@Jai_dinn]

The fact all these collabs are canon is what makes it incredible

[@orbajo]

Wait, the Nier crossover for Stellar Blade costs money? So that's why I can't find Emil anywhere... lol

[@NoisyPixelNews]

How long have you been running around out there?

[@jamessouth3808]

10 dollars

[@claudijatzandrapova3347]

it's owned by Square xD no way Square would just let us have it 😋

[@jackgerambo]

Yui Ishikawa is GOAT. People should try the game in Original dub once. Ishikawa's voice so pure & amazing ❤

[@DaDarknessXIII]

Ok ok ok, I'm convinced now. After I beat Stellar Blade again and get the platinum trophy, ill go play Nier: Replicant, Automata, and watch the anime.

[@rivenoak]

emotional damage incoming you have been warned ;)

[@williamwen3477]

I'll pretend that ubisoft's 2B is not exist

[@thetruthseeker8841]

I never played Nier games. But I bought the Nier DLC for Stellar Blade anyway, because how iconic 2B is. Makes me thinking should I start playing Nier Automata.

[@3EyesPurpleCat]

Yep,you chould. I have enjoyed it so much so far on Nintendo Switch what I have played.

[@benjaminbeltran7004]

You MUST play Automata is a MUCH better game than Stellar Blade. In fact Automata is a Masterpiece.

[@thetruthseeker8841]

I just might. It's disounted on PSN at the moment. Cheers !

[@3EyesPurpleCat]

@thetruthseeker8841 Trust me even if is hard is a real good game.

[@Belleslayer]

the FFXIV is the best by far, the amount of effort and detail is just insane. The music crossover between the franchises is incredible

[@DayBr8kZ]

For me, 2nd should have been Soul Cailbur 6. You could actually customize 2B in Soul Calibur, with separate head gear, top, bottom, weapons, etc. Soul Calibur customization for 2B is at peak!

[@RaddChad]

Punishing Gray Raven as well

[@chrisw7188]

the stellar blade x nier collab was such an easy sell. the graphics, lighting, combat and photo mode in SB unlocked the full potential of such a crossover

[@griffwilson5932]

You know 2B and Nier are incredible when they have THIS MANY collabs.

[@Rollbrand370]

2B is the love of my life, so anything involving her is an instant buy for me. Except for Ubisoft.

[@jackgerambo]

Yeah 😂

[@S_Hyde]

Gotta love 2B If I had a smaller backlog I'd replay automata once every year.

[@Wenasoxf]

We only need her on smash Bros with an amiibo

[@NoisyPixelNews]

You might be onto something

[@_Victus_]

2:33 Bro it's been a long since I hear this specific Nikke's OST I know that we just talking about 2B in this video, but the minigame in Nikke x NieR collab is actually the hacking part of NieR game, which is neat

[@anthonychibasa8335]

2b,9s and a2 are also guest characters in punishing gray raven.. though you can't get them anymore they're still in the game

[@mr.eternal4439]

2 balls 0:15

[@darthtrayus6066]

2butch

[@alexey635able]

My favorite collan is granblue cuz i love swinging her big-ass normals there

[@NoisyPixelNews]

She’s insanely powerful haha

[@DutchDread]

To be fair, "She's just so cool" is also true, the reason 2b is sooooo amazing is that she checks all the boxes, yes she's the most gorgeous character ever designed, however, she's not JUST the hottest, most beautiful female character in gaming, she is also COOL AS F*$K. The look is stylish and badass, her bearing is powerful, proud, and feminine, she's just what all character designers should aspire to when designing female characters.

[@DarkXSatan666]

PGR collab with NieR was elite

[@CmdrBrannick]

Still hoping we get her in a DoA game, particularly in the Xtreme series XD

[@RedZ1900]

Eve looks damn good as 2b

[@returnedtomonkey8886]

At this point 2b alone is bigger than the franchise she comes from.

[@halstonconnally1367]

I personally really enjoyed the Naraka Bladepoint crossover, especially since you could buy the outfits with in game currency.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Damn. How is that game doing btw?

[@halstonconnally1367]

I was getting too hooked, so I had to stop playing a few months after the 2B DLC came out xD

[@alexs958]

She also had a crossover with Final fantasy brave exvius

[@vanhnguyen8776]

You forgot Punishing Gray Raven and they did good to Nier:Automata combat

[@hywolfgaming8932]

In order for me: FFXIV Soul Calibur Stellar Blade PGR Nikke Brave Exvius

[@Pownchao]

I'm surprised we didn't get a Mii costume for Smash Bros. Maybe Yoko didn't reach out for that one, because I feel like it would've been a shoe-in.

[@HellGatyr]

Even stellar blade 2B is perfect i think nothing can compete against ubisoft 2B

[@schowd31]

though we may never get a Neir Automata sequel staring 2B after the ending, Stellar Blade maybe the closes thing to playing 2B in another post-apocalyptic wasteland. Honorable mention, the prequel remake, Nier Replicant had some inspired Yorha uniforms that looked as good as 2B. Embarrassing mention, Nier costumes like 2B are available in Fallguys. Don't know why that's a thing. I'm hoping 2B and 9S are playable in Brawhalla later on. Even their PODs can act as their respawn droppers.

[@solvirtusinvicta]

I'm reminded once again that most of gaming journalists don't know how to pronounce "automata"

[@ALL4ONE5288]

the raibow siege one is just leon in 2b clothes should been a dlc in re4 remake, 2-b /2- balls.

[@SB-dw3ly]

How about Punishing : Gray Raven collab...

[@SB-dw3ly]

War of the Vision is also not here... Well I guess Nier : Automata has too many Collab to count

[@faustineli375]

🎵 Nier, faaar ... whereever you are~ 🎵

[@NoisyPixelNews]

I laughed

[@DutchDread]

I just bought stellar blade to play with 2b again, I would play Nikke but I've sworn off gacha games.

[@3EyesPurpleCat]

On Gran Blue Fantasy Rising she looks really nice, however withouth a story mode there isnt that much you can do with her. You could say the same about the other dlcs characters.

[@Seven7swords]

The First Descendant x NieR Automata when?

[@pyro5159]

Is there a 2B everywhere mechanic? Lol

[@lukep.]

Ahh yes, the albatross of live-service / gacha games. When you spot a Nier collab, know that your game does not have long left…

[@FinalRush25]

Nah, it’s Persona 5 that takes the crown for that.

[@wood1066]

That would be Persona 5.

[@hododod246]

She will be in next Smash game.

[@commdaofighting]

Honorable Mention: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

[@DJAB87]

And War of the Visions

[@Dr.Liam_]

Need a monster hunter nier cross over ong

[@anchanz]

daybutt, i know what you did there

[@aBathingSloth]

Never played nier been beating my shit to 2B all these years tho

[@NoisyPixelNews]

🫡

[@earl_stranger3878]

💀💀💀

[@jackgerambo]

​@@NoisyPixelNews And then we hear those popular false comments about 2B.

[@cookiecooly]

You really should play it. One of the best games out there tbh

[@Maria_Banks]

I love Yoko but man, he does not know when to say no to a collab. I mean hell, he gave the latest collab to a copycat game

[@markhettenbach3141]

Wait it was in gravity rush 2? Damn.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Never forget

[@kanecassidy9126]

funny that the worst version of 2B is in collab with ubisoft. ubisoft turns to shit anything it touches

[@GrimSoulBanisher]

Obviously, Rainbow Six Siege is S Tier

[@benjaminbeltran7004]

The one in Rainbow Six is not 2b it's 2balls.

[@kymerahYT]

Fall Guys 2B is best 2B

[@gardevoirtrainer4526]

2B has an insanely high chance to get into the next Smash Bros.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Let’s make it happen

[@刘正-r5r]

The video is really interesting and I would like to invite you to collaborate. Do you have time to chat?

[@paulrazakel29]

You missed out on Naraka Bladepoint did a good job on Nier as well
