Kiriko as 2B is probably going to be one of the skins best-selling in gaming history. The fit is almost perfect. It's fascinating to see how characters like Lifeweaver receive love with designs as complex as Adam's; It gives a twist to its floral aesthetic for something much more existentialist. If you are a fan of NieRthis is the perfect excuse to reinstall the game. Prepare your credits, though, because the Council of Humanity is not known for being cheap, but “Glory to Humanity” is worth it.
