When I saw Ouroboros I thought this would be a rant about how the game is eating it's own tail. Storytelling is nice, but I'm afraid it might inspire me to get invested in the game again. And that would just make me pissed off. Regardless, thank you for the content. Have a good one.
I'm not a war vet, or a military vet at all. But I feel like this speaks to the feelings of those who serve and come home, broken. Only to be denied basic services and help by those they defended.
@@dragosh3073 Rahetalius's done service but that doesn't really count, now imagine being alive a couple months right after WW1: war veterans, soldiers of all ranks, mutilated and flooding the streets, begging for pennies because they couldn't work anymore, no nation had stepped up to support their own soldiers who gave their lives only to die not even in the field, but of hunger in the streets like a stray dog.
@@cdgonepotatoes4219 Horrors beyond comprehension have happened and continue to happen. Acknowledging it furthermore is important, i agree on this point. However, it doesn't make other trials not count.
I think that's the entire point here, especially with that 10,000 Forma vid he did. He said "DE will never properly explore the possibilities of their world", so he writes his own lore and it's better then most the things DE puts out nowadays
@@scarletjester7831 oh I'm aware, I just find it kinda disappointing to be constantly shown by trainman what could have been but isn't cuz DE can't be fucked to do it or listen to their fans nowadays.
They made weapons and then gave their weapons consciousness. At that point the weapons didn't need the Orokin anymore. The Orokin tormented and tortured the weapons in order to control them, and the weapons snapped back. So it was with the Sentients, so it was with the Warframes, so it was with the Tenno.
God i love the writing of how he repeated says the same line over and over, it fits perfectly for the hopeless rambilings of a broken man only longing for something long gone
Non Omnis Moriar. "Not everything dies" just... wow. that is a hell of an opening line to a beautifully written piece, and the ending line, fui quod es, eris quod sum."I was what you are, you will be what I am" That's.... menacing man. Brilliantly done.
I believe Sevagoth can't be? Since Sevagoth is a Warframe of "Death" & the Ouroboros Cycles go against everything that stands for anything that Death can End? Ouroboros is Endlessly Returning to the Start, While Death is Endlessly not trying to Start or End... Oof 💀
@@tngaming50 Hmmmm... The 4 Finalities of the Ouroboros Conquest: Revenant War: Valkyr Famine: Grendal Death: Sevagoth They can be put in as the leaders of the Ouroboros.
@@mlw3r36 maybe sevagoth was reincarnated, again and again... just to meet the the same ghost that is trying to save him, when the ghost was gone from the vessel as stated in the call of the tempestarii, sevagoth was alone. alone with his own thoughts. slowly suffocating in them when he wanted to die forever but as he did a lot of times, he died just to be reincarnated again. the ghost was torturing hiim by keeping him alive and alone. that would be fuckin sick to hear about.
dude, again! amazing work, solid writing. also good narrator. i still hope someday this becomes cannon and DE appreciates you as much as we do. wishing you all the best man. truly .
Oh come on, this is just straight up beyond celestial levels of quality work right there. The synergy between The Volgun's voice work and the effect applied to it, combined with the usual, downright god tier writing of yours... As has become the norm with these, I am left speechless. Words could not describe my admiration for the skills on display, you're just doing a tremendous job and I cannot wait to hear more of this absolute talent.
I love this. Everything about it is amazing, when Xaku refers to themself they don’t say “I”, they say “US” despite being one being, just made up of three. I can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do next.
I'd like to imagine Xaku warframe is constantly in an internal conflict due to being made of multiple parts of other frames, who is in control? xaku? operator? or the others it's made of?
I think that’s kinda implied in its idle animations Parts attempt to move on their own but the main frame (controlled by the operator) pulls them back together Cool detail that’s fucked over by how inept DE is at writing frame lore
I just listened to this. I'm not a veteran. Or a war veteran. I'm a survivor of a horrible crime. Post traumatic stress disorder is so different for every sufferer, yet the song sings such familiar notes. Thank you.
When the fan lore is better and more cohesive than the canon lore. Good work, though in my personal opinion Xaku's voice would've sounded even better if you could hear other people's voices mixed in with the main one.
Don't get me wrong, The Volgun's voice is really nice and soothing but it would have been cool to hear some other voices to hammer in that Xaku is 3 frames in 1
Xaku is my favorite Warframe and you definitely did him justice I love the idea of a broken warframe so much potential for a story. Glad you saw that much.
"We" is the meaning of perfection. This line is what demonstrates the Empire's egotistical mindset best, I think. They do not say "we are perfect", or "we are perfection". They say "We is the meaning of perfection." As if there is no other meaning perfection can have. The Empire is the only thing perfect. And, since the rest of the piece highlights how imperfect and flawed Xaku are (is? are? whatever), it creates a striking antithesis that I just ADORE. Trainman, I love this.
I like many have grown into that apathy of the sloth that is DE's story telling, and the dark depths at which the Ourboros series has gone, has honestly for me been a dark shimmer of fantastic story telling, looking forward to the next sermon.
Oh yes...this is the millionth time I've seen this video and I can't stop watching, same with Mirage one. Warframe like Xaku, Limbo, Mirage and all other frames obtainable by doing they're quest need some lore. Let's take Xaku for example: after completing the heart of Deimos quest Grandma gave you Xaku's blueprint saying "they're like a big happy family" and no more, no lore, nothing at all, it's like she says: "ok buddy, take this trash and never come back, what it is? Idk, do what you want with it"
I'm a Xaku main and I love this gives alot more depth and alot more weight on Xaku's life and how he is compared to the one liner de gave us keep up the good work!
Holy shit... this right here, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the greatest pieces of lore ever created by the fans! It's amazingly written, it looks like it belongs to some book from the old war
Seeing these alternate lore videos is both amazing and heart breaking. They're so incredibly well written and tie into the darker side of Warframe and how nightmarish so many of the things in its universe are (Hell, even now I'm on the edge of my seat for the next Ouroboros entry with Revenant). But it hurts that the chances of seeing stuff like this, this level of characterisation for something as ignored (lore-wise) as the frames themselves, are close to none because of DE's lack of care for the lore, story and characters they have made. Sevagoth's quest came somewhat close to this but was way too short, feeling more like a distant flame of nostalgia letting out it's last flicker before being reduced to mere embers. tl;dr Train writes better, more engaging lore than the official WF devs themselves.
Once again, an amazing piece of work rahetalius. Simply amazing. 😊 also, will there ever be a warframe development report video on nidus perhaps?....really love playing as nidus.😁
i like this so much,still trying to figure out out the whole ouroboros storyline tho ^^; also i think the "we" in this is refering to xaku being made of multiple warframe
I'm a little bit confused on which ones get Dev reports and which ones get Ouroboros videos? Is there a specifically designed thing, like the ones that seem more horror focused, as with Nidus and Xaku, (maybe even Sevagoth now) get Ouroboros? Whereas the "normal" ones like Mesa, hydroid, Excal will get Dev Reports?
Hey I wanted to ask how you improved your writing style. I do some little short stories bit I want to improve both my own style and the words I use within my stories. Have any tips?
as a survivor of years of spousal abuse i have to ask: Are you okay? This hit so close to home it scared me. please tell me you're okay. If not, we can talk or i can just listen.
Do you think they found their saviour? It's a real shame that Xaku in game just seems like a couple blobs of play-doh mixed together, and here there's *DEPTH* .

This makes me think that perphaps the Tenno didn't needed the Orokin, but the Orokin needed the Tenno.
Same went with the Sentients and the Infestation, that was the reason why all their tools and weapons backfired.
They made weapons and then gave their weapons consciousness. At that point the weapons didn't need the Orokin anymore. The Orokin tormented and tortured the weapons in order to control them, and the weapons snapped back. So it was with the Sentients, so it was with the Warframes, so it was with the Tenno.
When the fan work kicks the shit out of the source work.
Stat wars fanbase gets this
God i love the writing of how he repeated says the same line over and over, it fits perfectly for the hopeless rambilings of a broken man only longing for something long gone
It's like as if it's the 3 warframes saying their own parts

that ending line was on an ancient roman tomb stone!
This. This needs to be canon in Warframe
Warframe lacks lore
I consider these canon already, besides it'll be forever before DE releases if at all that contradictions these

They are scared and confused souls trying to trying understand who they are
Xaku and revenant have alot in common. Poor things.
A new beautiful piece of art👌🔥. this one got me as a much as deep as the one's before it keep up your amazing work
With the new updates, his story makes so much sense now
These story collabs you are doing are sick likes good work!
This was fasinating. Awesomely done guys. :)
I Love this series, it is so good to see a new vid
Can this be the official lore? Especially since this is my main frame
It’s called “head canon”. It can canon to you as it is to me
OMG, finally! A fellow Xaku main!
I been playing him as well and love him so much
This is making me tear up
Thank you man. I love these

Amazing as always.
This slaps so hard. Love it and please do more
When fan made lore is better than lore from the developers
THIS is what Warframe needs more of. Full bodied lore, that makes you question your perspective of the game.
I think the next one may be Revenant, but I could be wrong.
Great story for xaku
0:44 to 8:00 what's the music called that plays after the intro?
Wellp now I feel bad about feeding xaku to the wall...
