What is the Mama Automaton?

The Mama Automaton is part of an ongoing collaboration between Final Fantasy XIV and the NieR franchise. Mama is the companion of the Girl of Light in the game NieR Reincarnation, where it is hinted the ghostly figure has a deeper connection to the game’s protagonists, Levania and Fio. 

Mama has become something of the unofficial mascot of NieR Reincarnation. However, not much is known about the creature, whether it’s really a ghost or anything else for that matter. Still, it's a cute minion in FFXIV and one you can grab right now.
