If you snoop around their latest articles on Nier Automata you'll surely find it, I can't say how much of a spoiler it is tbh (since I'm only able to play it on Friday. PC release). And it wouldn't really make sense for me to force myself to read the article just to confirm that it wasn't something significant to the story.
Either way, it has spoiled some of the fun for me now that I'm expecting this and that, at this certain point of the game (trying to sound a bit ambiguous here to not spoil it for anyone else).
