The idea that Agraya is Zinaida sounds believable, if the raven of "Last Raven" is also the raven of "Nexus" it would make sense why she trash talks the player through the campaign, and how she wants to see if you truly are different from the rest in the ending where the two duke it out one last time.
All possible its was only a year between nexus and last raven. It would also more likely that the survivors of the ark are the more skilled pilots like Jack-o and evangel among others so the last raven could be one of them.
Ah don't i ended up having to redo the name as it came out three different ways while recording. Thankfully nexus has one more video and then Last raven time.
@@natethegreat7967 There is because I managed to say her name about three different ways and time was against me that day. Still I would say this video is not up to what I expect and I know in my heart I have dragged out nexus long enough and its time to move on.
Personally, I think the Zinaida=Agraya theory does sound plausible, but it's a theory, and Zinaida could also have admired Genobee's talents the same way Agraya did.
And that is fair the links are all there. My only sticking point is that Jack-o seem to know nothing about her like he does about a lot of the ravens. But again this can be simple explained away by saying Jack-o never had anything to do with her and maybe he and genobee never talked either.
@@armoredcorelore Also, I think it'd be best to take some things the wiki says with a grain of salt, given that it's community run and communities can be wrong at times.
In Last Raven: if you side with Vertex or Alliance she'll send you a special email. It's something like: "I'm disappointed that you [and Evangel] decided to pick a side. I thought we were similar". She's aggressively independent unlike Agraya who aligns with Crest
It could be she had character development in that the Crest squad seems very tightly managed by Crest, she possibly wanted to escape, and by ACLR shes finally free
Just what I need to help me relax after I finish work this afternoon: a new ACL video! I can’t wait to sit down with this and a cup of tea after I finish my last meeting of the day. :D
Ah Thanks November. I admit I have been a bit silly and watched your video without leaving a comment. Which is shame as you and your we are bad at gaming partner make me laugh so much.
For me Agraya is Zinaida. The red heart emblem was a symbol for her love for Genobee. And its because she loved him than she accept to work only for crest, because her man was with them. When Genobee died, she was probably not going to pilot an ac anymore, but when she learn than a miserable pilot had take the ac of her man, she come back as zinaida and an ac named Fascinator ( probably named in memory of her lost love) whos wearing a woman holding a love potion as emblem, to destroy this insult of her lost love. This is what I think 😌.
@@armoredcorelore the fact is, I played armored core games since the first one when I had 8yo. Now I have 34 and I just can’t wait to continue this majestic lore in Armored core 6. This is like my prayers has been answered 😊
@@SuperDarkmasterX Well sounds like i better make sure i get this lore done right with life long ravens watching =) I look forward to seeing you in AC6.
One thing that could indicate Agraya is not in fact Zinaida is her loyalty to one specific corporation, namely Crest. As we remember, Zinaida is extremely proud and feels that a proper Raven should never bow down to any corporation and live as a free agent. That's another reason why she hates Mollycoddle. Not only he is incompetent (even with Human Plus/OP-INTENSIFY), he is a lapdog for the Alliance. However there is a possible spin for it, where it actually proves her to be Zinaida. She worked hard as corporate soldier, yet she loses to skillfull freelancer badass (assuming we don't fail all possible, non-gameover missions to speedrun the game), the Raven of Nexus. That same individual possibly kills Genobee and later destroys the unknown not-nineball. That serves as a bitter reality check for her and makes Agraya develop new character. That of Zinaida.
Genobee turned against Crest though so it wouldn't be impossible for Agraya to do the same. It could be that she eventually saw what Crest was up to in the same way Genobee did and grew to hate them as well as other corporations. When you look at what happened with the unknowns destroying the place as the end of Nexus, it would make sense why she would be so against the idea of siding with corporations.
Thank you for another indepth video, sir. Closer we become to the newer title, and how grateful I am that the souls community has grown these games so vastly. With your help of course!
Ah well in-depth maybe too kind for this video, but i thank you for your kind words. It is nice to see armored core in the spotlight and well a thank you should go to you and the ac community too for showing up, commenting and letting fromsoft see the love for the series is still strong. So thank you.
@@armoredcorelore Sir I must kindly refer to the very fact that this channel exists in near exclusivity, there are no other lore channels for Armored Core to my knowledge. As far as the depth you bring to this series, more than what the developers or companies working on these games ever have. I hope Miyazaki is directing this title as I truly think AC4 for answer is one of the greatest games of all time and my personal favourite in this series.
AC4 is a good ac game and special to me since it was what i first spoke about on this channel. But again i thank you for your kind words, it does my heart good especially during this time with LR story video.
Some AC OSTs playing in the background at low volume would do these videos extreme justice, ive binged your channel and some of the older videos have thrm abd i love them more for that. Witcher Goerge does what you do for AC but for the Witcher i realized the OSTs in lore dives make the videos more immersive and wld love to hear the AC ones here too Also Why do all the times you say Agraya sound 100% alike, its eerie. like one audio clip unless you've mastered copy speech and full voice control
Ah well you see its very much down the middle as some do like the music and some don't. I decided when i started the channel i would try music then slowly over time I've stepped away. Oh and yes the agraya is one clip used again and again because i managed to say her name in so many ways that after i found one that sounded right i put it in.
@armoredcorelore thanks for the response, I understand now. The Agraya scared me ngl, it gave off uncanny vibes since it almost sounds like you're actually saying it consistently but it also sounds unnatural for someone to be that accurate in saying one word
@@Tyrene also, sometimes music that's too intense relative to what's happening in the video can be very distracting. ArmoredCoreLore would end up using very specific tracks because they're the only ones that are good background music for the video Picking the right music is also time consuming.
No problem. Mind you one day i would like to do lore videos on players armored core and thier back story just for fun and music could be used in them. Food for thought.
Not trying to rush you if you are working on it, but I've been getting into Armored Core lore especcially since ACVI: Fires of Rubicon was annouced so I ask ACV Lore video?
Honestly Hellfire its going to be a little while longer. The LR story has been a major project on its own and until that is out the way (Which should be soon) i can then get rid of the footage and start working on ACV and VD with all the translations and capturing footage.
@@ZVelzy Thank you. It would help if i was not such a bad pilot but still hopefully LR story, a few videos for some key points and then it all 5th gen. I could do with a break from nexus.
@@armoredcorelore haaaa hahahaha yeah they're all cringe in the end. We learn to appreciate them for even existing honestly. At least we know who the target is.

I think, AGRAYA, is pretty cool. I barely remember, AGRAYA, from back then, but, AGRAYA,'s AC has a pretty good design imo.
Ah don't i ended up having to redo the name as it came out three different ways while recording. Thankfully nexus has one more video and then Last raven time.
Target verified. Commencing AGRAYA

Is there a reason why you edit in an isolated soundbyte of a repeating name/word?
@@natethegreat7967 There is because I managed to say her name about three different ways and time was against me that day. Still I would say this video is not up to what I expect and I know in my heart I have dragged out nexus long enough and its time to move on.
First of all, I am AGRAYA! Second of all, you’re not AGRAYA! Third of all, you wanna be AGRAYA! But you can’t AGRAYA because I’m AGRAYA!

@@AnatoliasAce3341 Sure, its always better to see the details for yourself.
@@armoredcorelore Oh right. When you do Zinaida, do you think you could make her AC in FA? I'm curious to see how you'd make Fascinator.
@@AnatoliasAce3341 I'll try my best =)
In Last Raven: if you side with Vertex or Alliance she'll send you a special email. It's something like: "I'm disappointed that you [and Evangel] decided to pick a side. I thought we were similar".
She's aggressively independent unlike Agraya who aligns with Crest
She does and you can see why i said i think its up to us to decide this ladies fate. There is so many if and buts to her.
Didn't Genobee fall out with Crest later down during Nexus' story though? It could be that Agraya may have fallen out with Crest in a similar fashion.
@@SCF721 so many theories lol. I guess we'll never know the truth
@@TheFirstRaven haha you're right
It could be she had character development in that the Crest squad seems very tightly managed by Crest, she possibly wanted to escape, and by ACLR shes finally free
Behind this identity of Armored Core Lore is really AGRAYA, ❤.

@@armoredcorelore you are making excellent work 😁. For sure we will met in AV6, I will contact you the 8/25 😉.
I remember I tried building her AC and very quickly realized she cheating and has way more weight on those legs then they are capable of handling.
She is a bit of a cheater and we never got the chance to do that.
I listen to these videos for your voice just as much for the lore. And the lore is great!
Thank you very much =)
I hope in AC 6 we can view our AC as human, so we can feel on how big it is, like explore the inside of it
Oh that would be neat and think of the sweet wallpapers of AC's we could have.
Nice Work Agraya man
Cheers.

Red Star is one of the best AC names in Nexus.
Side note; if you can carry it, the WB75MT is great for pressuring other ACs.
Yep i got the name wrong, ah this video is nothing but a pain in the backside ha ha.
Red Heart?
Yep mistakes made.
I love your content man, but are you using one audio clip of you saying "Agraya" throughout the video? However you're using it is just annoying AF.
That is fair, i will admit this video is nothing but trouble for me. I'll be happy to see the back of it.
