NieR:Automata TGS Trailer and Translation

The PlayStation TGS presentation began this afternoon at 4:00pm. I get out of work exactly at 4, but my boss drove me to the station around 3:30, so I could watch the beginning portion of the presentation on the train. Just after I switched train lines and was just one more station from my stop, the new NieR:Automata trailer began. I’m sure the people around me thought I was very strange… (No, I wasn’t swinging from the ceiling like the guys at Hooked probably would have, but still…!)

Many of these lines are a bit difficult to hear, but this is my tentative translation of the spoken dialogue during this clip (Possible spoilers are in white text; highlight them to view):

Pod042: Good morning, A2.

Commander: Remember! The pain of losing our home! We will never give up. The ocean, the sky, the earth… We will reclaim the Earth that the atrocious Bio-machines stole from us!

2B: You knew all along, didn’t you, 9S?

9S: Shut up! What are you saying? What the hell do you think you know about us?!

Pod042: 9S. …system…

Deep Voice (Adam/Eve?): Do you really think you can win? Hmpf.

Pascal: My name is Pascal. I am the head leader of this town.

Man (Adam/Eve?): Where are the humans you put such faith in?

Emil: We fight because we believe someday we’ll get through this!

Girl (Devola/Popola): We… we will atone for our sins!

Man: That’s it! That feeling! Hatred! Ahahahahaha!!

Commander: Even if we manage success with but a tuning fork, we will end this war here and now! Glory to mankind!

Operator: Please hold, okay?

Operator: The YoRHa Squadron has launched.

2B: If that’s what you (9S) say we should do, then that’s what we’ll do!

Commander: For the Glory of Mankind!

Response: For the Glory of Mankind!

9S: It can’t be!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Deep Voice (Adam/Eve?): For the Glory of Mankind.

I’m pretty sure the very first line is Pod042 because of the previous conte dialogue I had translated before. I am also pretty sure it’s the General speaking above because these are the exact same lines that closed out the ending of the YoRHa stage play.

There’s a line or two that I’m not confident about (shown in italics) and another that I’m pretty sure I heard it right, but still can’t be 100% accurate (underlined).


According to Game Jouhou, the following characters have been confirmed:

The appearance of Pod042, Operator 6O & 21O appeared in the bits of dialogue that I previously translated here.
