I Love This Game But I hate 9S

I like A2, but I think she's pretty shallow and underdeveloped when compared to 2B and 9S. 2B is a layered character because the entire persona she presents to 9S is a mask she's wearing to hide the love she has had for him for years prior to the events of the game, as well as the pain she feels for wiping his memories over and over again. When you realize this about her, and go back through the entire story, you see all the subtle nuances of her character, which I think makes her very cleverly written.

9S is also extremely complex, because the story heavily implies he knew (at least on a sub-conscious level) 2B had been wiping his memories, and he spends Route C coming to terms with the fact that the person he loved is the one who has been taking away his identity, as well as his memories of him and 2B being together (see the Soul Box scene, in which N2 probes into his mind and sees his insecurities about 2B, and uses them against him, forcing him to kill a depiction of 2B while she is taking his memories of her away). This internal struggle for him is revealed when A2 acknowledges (with 2B's memories inside her, mind you) that she knew he was aware of who 2B was, and what she had been doing to him again and again.

I think A2's story is fine, I just think it's lacking in comparison, and is pretty rushed. She hates machines because of what happened to her squad, and she ends up changing her mind because she hung out with Pascal for a bit. Sure, it's cool, but I don't think it's as interesting as what's happening with 9S and 2B. The most interesting thing about her, to me, is seeing how 2B's memories change how she interacts with 9S.

Well yes, but actually no.
9S was a great character and his voice actor deserves multiple awards for as long as he lives.

really enjoying this game but I hate 9s, he is ok as support but extremely boring to play as and is extremely annoying. I don't like the fact that 9s is the main character, 2b should be the main character. 2b is 1000x better than this 9s the idiot
