Interesting, I thought the repetition was the "machine wars" and they were on the 14th iteration or whatever it was. I've played through it twice, but I didn't pick up anything about the entire YoRHa setup being repeated. Maybe it's time to play through it again.

shrug I definitely don't know for sure. Clemps on YouTube has a theory that "Automata leads to the events of drakengard 3,which lead to events of drakengard 1,which lead to events of nier which lead to Automata." So there's at least the possibility that it loops that way. Which is a bit ... odd. I just thought it repeated in the sense that the machines use the YoRHa backdoor, wipe them out, and start over again.

I don't recall exactly what the Red Girls say, but I thought they implied that they'd built YoRHa multiple times. Don't remember now though...
