It's probably a spare body or body made up of a bunch of spare A2 parts. I assume her memories were stored on Pod 042.
Thanks, sounds good to me.
Honestly, I know many were kind of hoping/expecting a "Bad End" when it came to this game, but I'm really thankful for the slight glimmer of hope. I love all three main characters (2B, 9S, A2), so the potential that I could possibly (eventually) see a sequel and/or DLC containing all of them is definitely appreciated.
A2's body is really confusing to me with that ending. Her memories and consciousness arent a problem, the pods are holding that data, they mention that. Her body though is whats confusing. They say they are rebuilding them from parts of the same models, however A2 doesnt have any others of her model as far as I'm aware, plus she has the exact same damage her old body had. So the only thing I can figure is they recovered most of her body from the crumbling tower but she lost her head, so they replaced that with one they got from ???
Yeah, I don't really understand it either.
The A2 you see in the tower was already assembled, so unless there's a time-gap between the Pods carrying the broken YoRHa members away and fixing them, it doesn't really make sense. I thought A2's damaged body was a sign that she was the only-created model (since she never repaired it after the Pearl Harbour explosions as the Bunker never responded to her pleas, with her being a beta-test unit), so the repaired head (with long hair) is a little confusing.
The only thing I can think of is that she went on a few "side-missions", not mentioned in the Pearl Harbour documents, in where she had her body destroyed and/or replaced, allowing more of her spare parts (such as more versions of her long-haired head) being available on Earth. But I thought she was kind of a one-and-done model, where she literally was the only one of her kind (Alpha prototype, they moved onto Beta afterwards), unless the Pods used scraps of the other YoRHa members that accompanied A2 on the Pearl Harbour mission (the ones that didn't make it) to reassemble A2. Given how all female models look alike, it's a possibility?
