YoRHa Type P No.2, or just 2P, is a machine copy of 2B who first appeared in Bandai Namco's fighting game Soulcalibur VI as 2B's second player color scheme, leading to the fan nickname of "2P" (as in Player 2). The name 2P was made official with her reveal in the Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse raids.
She is also a crossover character in NieR Reincarnation, introduced in the NieR:Automata crossover event.
Appearance[]
2P has the appearance of a young woman with short black hair and dark skin. She wears a white dress, a white blindfold and headband, and thigh-length white boots. She is modelled after 2B, but with inverted colors.
Personality[]
2P is quiet, mission focused, and diligent, much like her counterpart 2B. She focuses on the mission rather than concerning herself with asking questions about the assigned task. She shows a more secretive side, outright avoiding answering questions rather than being curt or formal.
After her betrayal, she appears more confident and cocky, as the control from the Red Girl seeps into her created personality. She also taunts her enemies.
Story[]
Final Fantasy XIV[]
- "An android in white, awakened within the excavation tunnels near Komra. She seems to be less than fond of machine lifeforms, to say nothing of the shrewd figure controlling them."
- — Official Description in Final Fantasy XIV
When the Warrior of Darkness, Anogg, and Konogg arrive at the Machine Graveyard, they rescue 2P from mysterious machines. Although she does not provide details, 2P insists the party delve deeper into the ruins to prevent "machine life forms from escaping."
The group faces a sealed door, and the dwarf duo detonate it to make way for the Copied Factory. An android called 9S attacks the party with hacked machines, but 2P throws 9S off the platform, being damaged in the process. 2P reveals she is an android and asks the party to retrieve a "key" in the depths before losing consciousness. The key is discovered to be a Pod, an assistant machine to androids that can repair their bodies. Anogg and Konogg wake 2P up and show her the Pod, which she seems satisfied with.
Outside, the dwarves prepare to throw their annual carnival. During the peak of celebrations, a swarm of androids dressed in white attack the village, using weapons found inside the Copied Factory. 2P thanks Anogg and Konogg for providing her with the key to the android invasion, and prepares to cut them down. 2B appears to save the siblings, but 2P escapes into the Puppets' Bunker while 2B gives chase.
Within the Bunker, 2P joins with other android bodies to create a spherical entity known as The Compound, which the Warrior of Light takes down. The android bodies form another entity, a humanoid giant construct named Compound 2P, which attacks the Warrior of Light. After her defeat, clones of 2P are met once more inside the Bunker after Anogg attempts to investigate it, where they vanish into a large sphere and create the Tower at Paradigm's Breach.
Replicas of 2P are fought once more in the Tower at Paradigm's Breach network system, though they lack any personality or individuality, being cut down as puppets of the Red Girl.
Gameplay[]
2P appears as an ally NPC in the Copied Factory. She is not associated with any class, instead using attacks taken from 2B in NieR:Automata. For the Engels boss fight, she uses her flight unit. She assists in mechanics for the bosses, calling out the attacks for players to adjust to.
Boss[]
She later appears in the Puppets' Bunker as the raid's final boss, first taking the form of the Compound before transforming into 2P Compound. Numerous clones of her are fought further in the Tower at Paradigm's Breach under the control of the Red Girl.
Other Appearances[]
