Iguazu is a Gen 4 like you Gen 1 to 4 are the ones who have the big side effects and can hear the voices of the coral without needing to use it like a drug Iguazu probably started hearing the voices of another rubiconian but Believed them to be just mental issues or side effects from Gen 4 augmentation Once he realized that Ayre is also a voice he probably assumed that she was the voice in his head Also iguazu's willpower is unironically insane, the madlad was able to completely take control away from allmind through his sheer hatred and jealousy As a fellow gen4 He obviously felt pathetic compared to you
I don't think Iguazu's hearing another Coral wave mutation. It seems he only experiences the ringing in his ears whenever 621, and by extension, Ayre are near him.
@@fusioncell7669 It also seem like ALLMIND wants to be with him. What's funny is that he says he can hear voices laughing at him, so I like to imagine that Ayre just floats over there to make fun of him from time to time. Good job brain waifu. Mission complete.
@@canadadry5449At the end it isn’t Iguazu par se but him plus an amalgam of all the other personas AllMind had gathered. His will was just strong enough to purge the rest. If he kills you he even mentions that the Ghost of him won’t last long post purge.
The Coral AC Walter pilots wasnt given to him by Arquebus, he just knew where it was due to being at the Institute a lot as a child. Since you killed Snail he was never taken for re-education, so he is fully himself in this ending.
In hindsight, Iguazu is the PERFECT cast as the true end boss because most players IGNORE him in their brains until he pops up again and he was the LEAST expected to take on this role. Looking carefully at his circumstance, Iguazu is also in the same position as 621 (hearing voices like Ayre in his head but different from Ayre) but he has a SERIOUS CASE of an inferiority complex. Allmind simply wants control, like any other AI villain overlord but through some twisted logic, she unintentionally fulfilled her purpose, which was to facilitate and lead the humans to the next step to their "evolution". Iguazu was integrated within Allmind simply because of pure chance, just like how 621 can hear Ayre but not other types of "voices" that made Iguazu more bonkers than he already was. Also, Iguazu's name is kinda symbolic too, google "Iguazu falls" and look at the google images... not the kind of river I want to take nice fishing trip on...
Allmind is not a villain... Its plan from the beginning is to achieve coral release in order to help mercs reach a next level... Now this will kill countless other lifeforms and humans all over the universe but allmind was programed to only care for mercenaries and AC pilots that's exactly what it does The only reason we fight it at the end is because it simply wants to be the one to trigger the coral release because well it's not a human and so it won't simply trust a random guy to trigger it so it needs to absorb us to trigger it itself If you pay attention to the very last scene Ayre tells allmind "we have the trigger and we will pull it ourselves" and only then Allmind deactivates as if it has finally fulfilled it's purpose before its death If Allmind decided to allow us to trigger it it wouldn't be the final boss and it would simply go alongside us into the new future
There’s one thing we haven’t take into account… he became 4th gen _INVOLUNTARILY,_ to pay off his loan because of his poor gambling decision. While we the player are a blank slate and could have had augmentations for any reasons… it’s obvious he’s unhappy about this working to get his freedom back, getting constantly chewed out by Michigan, no one in Redgun respecting him while also being jealous at you for a multitude of reasons (treated with more importance, respect and care, given much more freedom and exceedingly more skillful than him) He is the equivalent of let’s say… Stinger and Evangel, spiteful, full of pride yet feels inadequate and ego getting “challenged”, to be stronger, to be a dominant, to be better and much like those two. They’re willing to give up their humanity _just so they can get a win against us_
25:45 Well. The analysis file on his AC revealed that the AC was Walter's all along. It wasn't Arquebus' super special machine they just threw him in. All they did was "re-educate" Walter. So It was always there. Just not in action until this point.
oh , i always thought arquebus threw him in there when they seized the institute stuff.. because thats the AC that shows up in the cutscene after taking out the Ibis Series, where they mentioned arquebus seized stuff... so it would make sense
I imagine that the reason Ayre can't simply pilot stuff like the Sea Spider or the Ice Worm is because they're already "occupied" so to speak by the Coral intelligences active in them. Ayre only goes for the machines she knows she can hack into.
This ending genuinely made me cry. More than a literal story ending, I took it as a statement about Armored Core as a whole: we are back, and it won't stop at Rubicon alone. And that song in the credits, Stargazer, is indeed unique to this ending, what a way to conclude this adventure. :3 I can't help but just want more. Whether it'll be DLC, sequel like the old times, anything really, I just want to see ACVI grow to its fullest potential, and honestly even just balance patches like this one are great ways to make the overall experience even better. They announced a PvP-oriented one coming soon as well, so I think we can expect more drastic rebalances and probably some nerfs as well. Here's to a bright future for Armored Core, VI sold really well so I'm very, very sure there will be much, much more to come in the future, and I'm all for it - and can't wait to see what crazy mods you'll experiment with as well! :D
I truly hope it becomes more mainstream. When I got this ending I had a stupid grin on my face, just thinking of all the wild things they could do with this blueprint for the following entry or dlc. They tested the waters and the game has sold close to 3 million copies. I'm truly happy for Fromsoft and for Armored Core to finally earn the recognition it deserved.
@@lileofficial4273 I would love a level editor that allowed us to make basic grid-based levels and shared them across some form of in-game net. Imagine assembling an enemy AC for said level to fight against after a gauntlet of cheaply placed MTs.
Sulla also used an Allmind made rocket launcher, V.III used an Allmind head. Basically, if anyone is carrying a part made by Allmind, they were likely involved in this mess.
So before I started the 3rd playthrough, I had assumed this would be the "true ending". The most ideal outcome that balances the first 2 playthroughs. Then as I progressed through this 3rd run, I started understanding what Allmind was up to, and I got a sinking feeling. I was no longer feeling warm and fuzzy about things. After finishing this playthrough, I don't fully understand the ending scene there still, but I realized this ending is indeed the 'ideal' ending. This ending is the perfect set up for the next game. All main numbered Armored Core titles have at least 1 direct sequel game that carries the story further. Armored Core VI has done well enough to more than justify it's rightful sequel. As such, that sequel will follow in the footsteps of this ending. And it will go one of two ways from here. 1. Raven and Ayre will continue together like Master Chief and Cortana with the rise of hostile coral beings. 2. Raven and Ayre become corrupt over time and exposure and become the new enemies for a different MC pilot. Because to me, this game feels like a spiritual successor to Armored Core 4 and 4 Answer. In terms of story beats and even some of the main themes.
Who else in the game has had a positive experience with Coral apart from 621. Just seems surreal that it seems to animate the wrecks of old ACs. Like some kind of zombie plague infecting the stars and whispering in peoples minds with the potential to light the stars or grow exponentially.
Yeah I think I’m with Walter. Liberation just ensures that Rubicon and Coral will become a battlefield again, and Coral Release seems to be pretty fucking unethical if it’s what I think it is, that being the forced linking of humanity with Coral. Im definitely with Walter, it sucks but this stuff’s gotta go
Lol, you saying as if exploding and killing all people and an sentient race on their own habited planet is a ethical thing to do? And blame the war on the Rubicon liberation when the corporation wanted to mine out the planet and the PCA is working for All Mind. The last ending is that, by All Mind calculation, humanity can achieve new height thank to the coral symbiosis. If you dig in further, the people that went insane because of the coral can just be because they are trying to use the coral in the wrong way aka wrong direction. They implanted the coral and use it as some sort of micro chip. Leaving out such possibilities is only convenient for human biase perspective. Human invaded Rubicon I mind you. The Coral is what originally there to begin with. If it happened in our universe I will have to take a human stance but fuck these guys in AC6 universe lol. Sympathy for a bunch of dick or following haunted people like the Overseers to the point of massacre an entire planet is not my jam.
@@Kinzoku_Zileus And at the end he tries to kill you because he went a bit crazy and was afraid of what coral release would do to the galaxy. When rescued in the Prisoner Rescue mission and is told about "Coral abide with Rubicon" he tells Ziyi she doesnt know what she is talking about and all that will be left is ash. He def does not have a high view of Coral.
As a note the "augmentation" surgery is also called coral replacement surgery. Its about using coral to tie your brain directly into the AC. No kidding replacing chunks of brain is a procedure with stages of advancement and low survival rate in the early days. And ALLMIND? I would bet dimes to dollars that its a coral based AI being that it seems to be a rubicon specific system, probably an old institute relic. So Iguazu being slowly subsumed or downloaded into the second frame seems possible. And ALLMIND being interested in a world where AIs, computers, coral, and humans become interchangeable? Yeah I see that.
i suspected initially that allmind being able to control electronic devices (much like coral) and coral being able to revive electronic devices like they did in the tunnel where you see the second coral surge and you have to escape... allmind could use the coral swarm intelligence to maybe control the coral swarm intelligence like puppets on a string..they power up old machines/AC's and then allmind takes control of them... effectively creating an Army
I love how psychotic this ending is. I think Iguazu was actually a good surprise element. He kept coming back like Joshua O'Brian in AC4, swinging. Apparently, his story is that kept losing a bit of everything all the way to getting suckered into the Red Guns by losing to Michigan, so he resented us for going bigger and ahead.
Your AC6 playthrough was excellent. I just beat Ng++ and as someone who's played every ac game from the psx to now, this game is a true work of art and I only want more. Glad I found you. You had me crackin up. Keep making quality content.
Now for a potential fun ester egg! Ayre's AC having a spot of Pink color are a throw back to Sumika's AC in Armored Core 1. She also your partner in some of the missions in that game too. Sumika's AC are called... Guess what ' Coral Ster ' Is it a coincidence? Hmm... :3
That's so cool, I killed Snail before his cronies and Iguazu showed up after so I had two 1v1 fights not the free for all you got. I missed some voice lines from Iguazu this way, thanks for showing me the alternate version. This game is full of secrets.
The music in that last phase of the final boss is filthy! Really encapsulates the terror and madness of the situation with all the lasers and claws flying at you relentlessly. I also hated that first phase, kept running out of ammo and repair packs by the time i killed the minions >_> still an epic last fight, thanks for covering the game!
I like the implication that Handler Walter was taking on an entire Vesper squad by himself, until ALLMIND showed up. I wonder if he actually survived, his AC isn't completely demolished like Carla's.
Technically speaking both could have survived since Carlas core was intact, and thats where the pilot seat is. However it seems unlikely. But both may have been resurrected by Coral Release.
@@ruikiri I was worried I wouldn't get the ending by not killing him and Volta, but it only changes the voice lines, and I think Iguazu argues more with Allmind, though given your videos are frequently a bunch of clips back-to-back it's hard to tell exactly.
The coral shield that Ayre was using is the one you picked up in the second to last mission. its a 360 shield for your left shoulder. Pretty decent actually.
1:30 Y'know since you like MGs, why not strap some to your back too? Yeah it sucks that there is no back mounted chain gun, but at least the pulse cannon is a machine gun and the bullet orbit also is a machine gun. Pulse weapons don't just tear apart shields, they also just tear things apart. Kinetic weapons do more impact damage than energy weapons. Energy weapons do more damage than kinetic wepaons. So laser weapons can just hurt things without relying too much on stagger, and when you DO stagger things, they hurt so much worse! I should also say this balance does not apply to melee weapons. So yeah.....don't save it. Just shoot them.
Siding with Ayre did feel like the best route. Though it was hard to go against Carla because just before all that, she was the one who saved you from Snail. So it was hard to effectively betray her after what she did for you. But this 3rd ending paves the way for the direct sequel game.
The Liberation ending is in fact, another bad end. The human Rubiconians kept the Coral for their own benefits despite knowing that Coral is a living substance (Father Dolmayan had contact with another Coral waifu and betrayed her). I think it's the mission when you killed Dolmayan where ALLMIND told you that the RLF's way is not true symbiosis, it's just slavery/exploitation of Coral or something amongst those lines.
@@saito853 Dolmayan talks about how scared he is of the unknown. If coral wants to be free, it'll free itself. Its still an energy source for humans. Wolves keep deer populations down so deer don't over populate and over eat their resources. That sounds like symbiosis to me.
@@ixiahj Dolmayan himself doesn't even view it as true symbiosis, in a log he said he was deceitful towards the coral and that's because he was. He was never looking for symbiosis, him and the rubiconians just used coral for sustenance, if anything it was a parasitic relationship. The humans eat coral in the form of mealworms and the coral gain nothing outside of the rare connection between the two groups, but that comes at the cost of many coral lives, plus the connection can be lost and just because a human and coral can communicate doesn't mean they'll look out for each others interests, since Dolmayan went behind his coral voices metaphorical back and lied to them. Not saying Dolmayan wasn't justified, he just didn't want his people to die but he did save Rubicon's human population at the expense off another race.
You know, I've been thinking...when she says "We" have been disseminated across the stars, what if she's not talking about the coral and the augmented people but you and Ayre specifically? As in you're essentially omnipresent now througout the universe through the coral, and you're basically remotely piloting all the AC's? That would explain why it shows the starter AC rising up with coral red lights like all the other AC's rather than the physical "You" that is your custom AC? You basically ascend into a sort of godhood together with Ayre because you were the only pair suited to trigger the Coral Release with the power of all the coral in Rubicon behind it to fuel it.
I think Snail is a legacy augment himself, who kept tweaking his augments becuase he hated himself as much as he shit talks you. He hates himself and projects it on all other older gen augments.
he started low and then kept upgrading (which might not result in the same thing as simply being a newer gen from scratch).. i think thats mentioned in his arena file
imagine the plot twist thought if he wasnt because Rusty was the one sent to kill him but he didnt because he is RLF and didnt care about arquebus either and told michigan to scram after besting him in combat so arquebus thinks hes dead.. but he then proceeds to come back to try to sneak in and kill snail xb @@edgargad2941
"Ah, you're not the only one" Oh, so Iguazu is also an older gen augment. Wonder what generation. That explains why he's hearing voices and his bizarre obsession with you.
He's gen 4 just like you. Hence why he hates you so much, you and him are both 4th gen but you're so much better, you get all the praise and you best every other pilot multiple times over in some cases, but he doesn't understand why "what makes you different?" that question drove him mad since you succeeded where he failed, half the time his short comings were due to you so that wouldn't help. Iguazu is more of a tragic character when you think about it instead of just being your anime rival.
Was that a Nine-Ball ending ? :)) but we defeated the AI... or not quite ? If there will be a DLC, they need to make it per ending... so 3 DLCs :) Plus coop missions :) AC6 is definitely GOTY :)
I love to see a coop-mode as an future dlc for big bosses like the strider and the ice worm you and 3 more AC fighting giant C-weapons like in the raid mode off AC4
Here's my logic on the endings. This contains spoilers for this video so if you haven't watched or played through NG++ yet don't read this comment. - - - - - Ending 1 - Fires of Raven. In this ending you go along with Walter and Carla's plan to destroy the coral. This ending is 'bad' because basically everyone (including C4-621) dies. - - - - - Ending 2 - Liberator of Rubicon. In this ending you go against Walter and Carla and assist the Rubicon Liberation Front in 'saving' Rubicon. This ending is 'good' because you work with the underdogs of the story including Rusty. The issue is the RLF aren't actually 'helping' the Coral they simply consume it either via feeding the Mealworms or ingesting it, this is why Thumb Dolmayan becomes despondent toward his previous beliefs as he realizes its all a lie. This ending also doesn't tie up ALLMIND, which means it would be able to eventually achieve its own plans for Coral Release. - - - - - Ending 3 - Alea Iacta Est. In this ending you go against Walter and Carla and assist ALLMIND in achieving Coral Release. However when you and Ayre begin to realize ALLMIND isn't being completely open with their plans you turn on them as well. ALLMIND's plan was to force humanity to undergo 'evolution' via c-pulse augmentation and symbiosis with coral. However that is only a part of the plan, if you notice in the boss fight Iguazu/ALLMIND have greenish blue coral, as do the two Sea-Spider units which support them. To me this implies ALLMIND has found a method to either directly control coral, or generate synthetic coral which can be controlled in such a manner. What this implies is that ALLMIND didn't simply intend to force humanity to evolve but also to ultimately take control of both humanity and coral entirely. Additionally Iguazu's own dialogue about 'dregs' and calling himself a 'ghost' implies ALLMIND has been making 'copies' of augmented humans it has killed likely in an effort to create the perfect combat AI. This is the true ending because it ties up all of the loose ends, there's no one left to meddle with what has happened. - After the release the fact you 'spawn' into a generic AC implies only your psyche and Ayre's were transferred, but what this also means is that other augmented humans and/or coral entities now have new bodies. It's obviously an alien concept, but its also extremely interesting. As it is possible that the 'ghosts' of other AC pilots were revived in AC bodies though that is mostly conjecture.
My understanding is that coral "evolved" people into just pure energy coral beings. So by releasing it, all humans in the galaxy have become coral energy beings and can basically go anywhere and control anything.
I think coral already had its own sentience before and seems to have a tendency to drive human minds crazy and maybe potentially take over or at least have a strong effect on who ever comes in contact with it. Apart from 621, everyone else who hears coral seems to go crazy.
Yep, the true ending's boss was THAT CRAZY. Glad you reacted the way I expected. EDIT: The true ending is basically cycles back to the VERY FIRST AC game.
I honestly loved this ending fight until I started failing because I ran out of ammo many times in a row. Managed to fist iguazu to death though. The first phase probably shouldnt have all those goons. Ill accept the sea spiders and ayre for the cool shot but just in terms of fight if it was a 1v1 without all the goons and ayre it'd be sick.
Tbh, I don't like the ng++ ending. Aside from you killing everyone, I don't like it that everyone has come to address it as the "true ending" just because thats usually how the naming schemes go. To me it's good ending (liberator), bad (fires of raven), and dark what-if scenario (allmind). To be clear I love the game and the layering of story they build upon for the different branches. But I hope the dark ending isn't what they go forward with for any dlc/ sequel content. For multiple reasons, but whittled downs it's basically that I fear it would be bad, and am not really interested in a remote control/ ghost in the machine story game- unless ofc you get to choose a human all the way branch or smthn lol. I prefer humans being in the mechs, and taking away the human element sorta just makes it 'they are as good as their parts', the cool part about all of this, about rusty, about mechs is that those are people in there, they limits they push, the skill they show all is rooted in human hands or some shit. But to be clear, still love the game, love the variety of story. I just prefer ends 1/2.
Feels like AC4 destruction path end, following ayre dialogue in the end it seems like player and ayre have been disperse all over the coral release range also isn't ayre, player relation already symbiotic ? like they literaly live, goes to mission and cooperating together... this end feel really wrong to me do you really had to burn everything to trully share a live ?
when everyone become Coral that isn't share a live. Coral just want to multiply they don't really care about symbiotic all the talking just to get to their goal
If Thumb Dolmayan is anything to go off the connection won't last, he lost his coral voice at some point. Maybe 621's augmentation makes it a permanent connection but we have no evidence to prove that so it most likely wouldn't last forever.
Liberator is the only ending i liked. Got to keep your buddy until he was ambushed. Shame if this is the true ending, rusty wont be in dlc or followup :(
This is probably the worst ending like everyone that we know except Ayre is either die by us or by ALLMIND, Chatty, Carla and Waltuh still freaking die, fate of Rusty is now unknow, and now we start to do some kind of invasion bs with the Coral? bruh this is just the worst
While it is safe to assume Rusty died in this route as well, this is the only route that directly opens up the real potential for furthering the story line. Yes yes, if you try hard enough you can find a loose end to follow with either other ending, but generally speaking, coral being scattered across the stars allows for a wide range of options for the direct sequel. And to be fair, the sequel might be a time skip meaning Walter and Carla would likely be dead due to age then. And even if not, they likely wouldn't be in the next game either way.
No, Fires of Raven is still the worst, this one feels like relying on "hope" that the humanity is going to coexist with the Coral beings, of course some will unfortunatly end up as iguazu who tought the voices in the head was allucinations, but you need to have hope that thing will turn out like 621 and Ayre for a better future and happy coexistence. Also, let's be honest, altought i did like Carla and Walter, what they wanted wasn't really a good option for the planet, and even if you wanted to explain to them this is the better choice, do you really think they would accept ? And i don't think Rusty died on this one, dude was on par with us, i think he managed to survive. I really like this ending, better than the Liberator and Fires, because in Liberator, altought you free rubicon, it's still in stalemate, the coral it's there, and other corporations can come to try something again, in the end of the day you didn't resolve the issue with the coral, it's still there, and Fires of raven also isn't really a solution, because in the story of the game we already had a fire that burned the coral 50 years ago, who can guarantee the coral isn't going to come back AGAIN to become a problem ? in this ending you are literally burning a planet alive killing millions of peple and you don't even have the guarantee that the coral isn't going to come back again like already happened in the past.
This fight was the worst boss fight because it is very clear Iguazu would get steamrolled without the ALLMIND goon support. So it feels poorly designed at least for me. Congrats on ending Humanity 👍
I don't quite understand the last mission. ALLMIND: We want you to do a thing. ALLMIND: We no longer want you to do the thing, but also we do, and also Iguazu is here. 621: We want to do the thing, but not while ALLMIND alive. Maybe I'm missing something, but just seems weird and Iguazu seems heavily out of place. He's basically the game's punching bag, and every time you see him it's just like "Shut up Iguazu".
He was a candidate for the vessel just like 621, Sulla, and a few other numbers listed. His issue was the coral sounds in his head are driving him crazy instead of him being in harmony with it. Other people would have turned away from AllMind because of this but he went along only as a way to get another crack at 621 and ultimately betrays the plan just so he can get his revenge.
ALLMIND wanted to "further the advancement of human race" using coral. And from what we see ALLMIND is capable of doing, she probably wants to absorb all of humanity to themselves. When everybody started to shot each other in that one mission they said: "Without their leader they're helpless and turn into chaos." "These fragile human connection won't do." If everyone become part of ALLMIND's Hivemind there's should be no conflict like that, no? Coral can also be used as data conduit, basically internet or cable. And if they're spread across the galaxy, then ALLMIND can use them to spread their control over the galaxy.
ALLMIND realized that 621 was Him and noticed that he was gen 4 augmentation. The reason she chooses Iguazu is because he is also gen 4, So I believe allmind just thought gen 4 augmentation was best to combat raven.
Problem is, someone with enough willpower/personality could break free of ALLMIND's control as seen with Iguazu in the last fight. Surely as strong as 621 probably could break free too, right? And they got sentient Coral in their side too, so there's no telling how it will end up if they're still exist, that's why ALLMIND planned to kill them.
Iguazu is a Gen 4 like you
Gen 1 to 4 are the ones who have the big side effects and can hear the voices of the coral without needing to use it like a drug
Iguazu probably started hearing the voices of another rubiconian but Believed them to be just mental issues or side effects from Gen 4 augmentation
Once he realized that Ayre is also a voice he probably assumed that she was the voice in his head
Also iguazu's willpower is unironically insane, the madlad was able to completely take control away from allmind through his sheer hatred and jealousy
As a fellow gen4
He obviously felt pathetic compared to you
I don't think Iguazu's hearing another Coral wave mutation. It seems he only experiences the ringing in his ears whenever 621, and by extension, Ayre are near him.

This ending genuinely made me cry. More than a literal story ending, I took it as a statement about Armored Core as a whole: we are back, and it won't stop at Rubicon alone. And that song in the credits, Stargazer, is indeed unique to this ending, what a way to conclude this adventure. :3
I can't help but just want more. Whether it'll be DLC, sequel like the old times, anything really, I just want to see ACVI grow to its fullest potential, and honestly even just balance patches like this one are great ways to make the overall experience even better. They announced a PvP-oriented one coming soon as well, so I think we can expect more drastic rebalances and probably some nerfs as well.
Here's to a bright future for Armored Core, VI sold really well so I'm very, very sure there will be much, much more to come in the future, and I'm all for it - and can't wait to see what crazy mods you'll experiment with as well! :D
I truly hope it becomes more mainstream. When I got this ending I had a stupid grin on my face, just thinking of all the wild things they could do with this blueprint for the following entry or dlc. They tested the waters and the game has sold close to 3 million copies. I'm truly happy for Fromsoft and for Armored Core to finally earn the recognition it deserved.
When I finished the game. I'm just glad to have finished the game. lol. No nostalgia. No sentimentality. Then a NERF happens. LMAO!!
@@jt.8144 😭
I really hope they make a sequel to 6 that's more focused on multi-player, If they expand on the ideas 5th was going for it would be sick.
@@lileofficial4273 I would love a level editor that allowed us to make basic grid-based levels and shared them across some form of in-game net. Imagine assembling an enemy AC for said level to fight against after a gauntlet of cheaply placed MTs.
If you're asking where Kate is: she's a barely disguised ALLMIND, the biggest hint is her AC is literally a MIND model
Sulla also used an Allmind made rocket launcher, V.III used an Allmind head. Basically, if anyone is carrying a part made by Allmind, they were likely involved in this mess.
@@Sorain1speaking of Sulla, his arena match glitches because he hates you too.
so .... no IG profile then? :(
@@ruikiri probably just some AI generated art XD
@@edgargad2941 so Sulla tried to take over Allmind to fighting you like iguazu
So before I started the 3rd playthrough, I had assumed this would be the "true ending". The most ideal outcome that balances the first 2 playthroughs. Then as I progressed through this 3rd run, I started understanding what Allmind was up to, and I got a sinking feeling. I was no longer feeling warm and fuzzy about things. After finishing this playthrough, I don't fully understand the ending scene there still, but I realized this ending is indeed the 'ideal' ending. This ending is the perfect set up for the next game.
All main numbered Armored Core titles have at least 1 direct sequel game that carries the story further. Armored Core VI has done well enough to more than justify it's rightful sequel. As such, that sequel will follow in the footsteps of this ending.
And it will go one of two ways from here.
1. Raven and Ayre will continue together like Master Chief and Cortana with the rise of hostile coral beings.
2. Raven and Ayre become corrupt over time and exposure and become the new enemies for a different MC pilot.
Because to me, this game feels like a spiritual successor to Armored Core 4 and 4 Answer. In terms of story beats and even some of the main themes.
True.
I always believed that AC 5 actually takes place after the Old King ending in AC4A.
Good point and i agree but liberator of rubicon is also a good choice for it to he a continuation
@@edgargad29415/VD take place after the Orca ending of FA. This is explicitly stated in one of the official books for VD.
@@serraramayfield9230 I just knew it wasn't the League ending because the other two destroy the cradles which are absent in 5/VD.
Who else in the game has had a positive experience with Coral apart from 621. Just seems surreal that it seems to animate the wrecks of old ACs. Like some kind of zombie plague infecting the stars and whispering in peoples minds with the potential to light the stars or grow exponentially.
Father Dolmayan did
Yeah I think I’m with Walter. Liberation just ensures that Rubicon and Coral will become a battlefield again, and Coral Release seems to be pretty fucking unethical if it’s what I think it is, that being the forced linking of humanity with Coral. Im definitely with Walter, it sucks but this stuff’s gotta go
Lol, you saying as if exploding and killing all people and an sentient race on their own habited planet is a ethical thing to do?
And blame the war on the Rubicon liberation when the corporation wanted to mine out the planet and the PCA is working for All Mind.
The last ending is that, by All Mind calculation, humanity can achieve new height thank to the coral symbiosis.
If you dig in further, the people that went insane because of the coral can just be because they are trying to use the coral in the wrong way aka wrong direction. They implanted the coral and use it as some sort of micro chip. Leaving out such possibilities is only convenient for human biase perspective.
Human invaded Rubicon I mind you. The Coral is what originally there to begin with.
If it happened in our universe I will have to take a human stance but fuck these guys in AC6 universe lol. Sympathy for a bunch of dick or following haunted people like the Overseers to the point of massacre an entire planet is not my jam.
@@Kinzoku_Zileus And at the end he tries to kill you because he went a bit crazy and was afraid of what coral release would do to the galaxy. When rescued in the Prisoner Rescue mission and is told about "Coral abide with Rubicon" he tells Ziyi she doesnt know what she is talking about and all that will be left is ash. He def does not have a high view of Coral.
AC7 will be taking out Coral Piloted AC's like we are the Doomslayer xb
the Iguazu-Snail-621 fight is the embodiment of that one sipderman meme.
As a note the "augmentation" surgery is also called coral replacement surgery. Its about using coral to tie your brain directly into the AC. No kidding replacing chunks of brain is a procedure with stages of advancement and low survival rate in the early days. And ALLMIND? I would bet dimes to dollars that its a coral based AI being that it seems to be a rubicon specific system, probably an old institute relic. So Iguazu being slowly subsumed or downloaded into the second frame seems possible. And ALLMIND being interested in a world where AIs, computers, coral, and humans become interchangeable? Yeah I see that.
i suspected initially that allmind being able to control electronic devices (much like coral) and coral being able to revive electronic devices like they did in the tunnel where you see the second coral surge and you have to escape... allmind could use the coral swarm intelligence to maybe control the coral swarm intelligence like puppets on a string..they power up old machines/AC's and then allmind takes control of them... effectively creating an Army
I love how psychotic this ending is. I think Iguazu was actually a good surprise element. He kept coming back like Joshua O'Brian in AC4, swinging. Apparently, his story is that kept losing a bit of everything all the way to getting suckered into the Red Guns by losing to Michigan, so he resented us for going bigger and ahead.
That was almost 1 for 1 my reaction to the flanking sea spiders.
after fighting them as bosses and then seeing them again...DOUBLED with another BOSS.. it is crazy xb
Fun fact: The final AC that Iguazu pilots with the C-Spiders is the same one Ayre uses, just modified by Allmind.
Your AC6 playthrough was excellent. I just beat Ng++ and as someone who's played every ac game from the psx to now, this game is a true work of art and I only want more. Glad I found you. You had me crackin up. Keep making quality content.
Thanks man :D
Now for a potential fun ester egg! Ayre's AC having a spot of Pink color are a throw back to Sumika's AC in Armored Core 1. She also your partner in some of the missions in that game too. Sumika's AC are called... Guess what ' Coral Ster ' Is it a coincidence? Hmm... :3
Congratulations awesome playthrough Rui
Thank you :D
That's so cool, I killed Snail before his cronies and Iguazu showed up after so I had two 1v1 fights not the free for all you got. I missed some voice lines from Iguazu this way, thanks for showing me the alternate version. This game is full of secrets.
I love when Ayre pretends to be Allmind, always makes me simp a bit harder
it definitely confused mexb
The music in that last phase of the final boss is filthy! Really encapsulates the terror and madness of the situation with all the lasers and claws flying at you relentlessly. I also hated that first phase, kept running out of ammo and repair packs by the time i killed the minions >_> still an epic last fight, thanks for covering the game!
I was just shutting down those minions during first allmind phase with assault armor. They won't annoy you if they are dead😊
"after watching berserk i dont trust things that look like eclipses" - right on, a man of culture I see 🤗
:D
I like the implication that Handler Walter was taking on an entire Vesper squad by himself, until ALLMIND showed up. I wonder if he actually survived, his AC isn't completely demolished like Carla's.
Apparently walter was kind of a beast xb
Technically speaking both could have survived since Carlas core was intact, and thats where the pilot seat is. However it seems unlikely. But both may have been resurrected by Coral Release.
@@baval5Fingers crossed, I got so sad at seeing those wrecks.
Interestingly, you can still get this ending if you DO NOT kill Iguazu at the dam, the cutscenes are in Allmind's voice instead of Iguazu's
you mean the first damn mission with Him and Volta? i mean technically we dont kill them there so that would make sense :D
@@ruikiri I was worried I wouldn't get the ending by not killing him and Volta, but it only changes the voice lines, and I think Iguazu argues more with Allmind, though given your videos are frequently a bunch of clips back-to-back it's hard to tell exactly.
Are those fucking sea spiders!?
Yep, that is the reaction I was expectimg 😂
lol
Love your videos man, your AC6 series is the funniest shit I've seen on here in a while. You're very engaging
your commentary is top notch, was rolling with laughter
:D
i want those allmind claws
The coral shield that Ayre was using is the one you picked up in the second to last mission. its a 360 shield for your left shoulder. Pretty decent actually.
32:43 my same exact react when I saw this 😂
crazy stuff xb
1:30 Y'know since you like MGs, why not strap some to your back too? Yeah it sucks that there is no back mounted chain gun, but at least the pulse cannon is a machine gun and the bullet orbit also is a machine gun.
Pulse weapons don't just tear apart shields, they also just tear things apart. Kinetic weapons do more impact damage than energy weapons. Energy weapons do more damage than kinetic wepaons. So laser weapons can just hurt things without relying too much on stagger, and when you DO stagger things, they hurt so much worse! I should also say this balance does not apply to melee weapons.
So yeah.....don't save it. Just shoot them.
good to know :D
38:43 - _"From Hells heart, I stab at thee... For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!"_
I think ending 2, the one that leaves corel alone is still the best ending. Just let nature take its course.
Siding with Ayre did feel like the best route. Though it was hard to go against Carla because just before all that, she was the one who saved you from Snail. So it was hard to effectively betray her after what she did for you.
But this 3rd ending paves the way for the direct sequel game.
The Liberation ending is in fact, another bad end. The human Rubiconians kept the Coral for their own benefits despite knowing that Coral is a living substance (Father Dolmayan had contact with another Coral waifu and betrayed her).
I think it's the mission when you killed Dolmayan where ALLMIND told you that the RLF's way is not true symbiosis, it's just slavery/exploitation of Coral or something amongst those lines.
@@saito853 Dolmayan talks about how scared he is of the unknown. If coral wants to be free, it'll free itself. Its still an energy source for humans. Wolves keep deer populations down so deer don't over populate and over eat their resources. That sounds like symbiosis to me.
yet nature taking its course might affect other things even outside Rubicon 3.. and those things' nature might not like it xb
@@ixiahj Dolmayan himself doesn't even view it as true symbiosis, in a log he said he was deceitful towards the coral and that's because he was. He was never looking for symbiosis, him and the rubiconians just used coral for sustenance, if anything it was a parasitic relationship. The humans eat coral in the form of mealworms and the coral gain nothing outside of the rare connection between the two groups, but that comes at the cost of many coral lives, plus the connection can be lost and just because a human and coral can communicate doesn't mean they'll look out for each others interests, since Dolmayan went behind his coral voices metaphorical back and lied to them.
Not saying Dolmayan wasn't justified, he just didn't want his people to die but he did save Rubicon's human population at the expense off another race.
Lol
"ARE THOSE FUCKING C-SPIDERS?!?!?!?!?!"
I'm dying😂😂😂
Awesome playthrough keep up the great content,
ill try :D
You know, I've been thinking...when she says "We" have been disseminated across the stars, what if she's not talking about the coral and the augmented people but you and Ayre specifically? As in you're essentially omnipresent now througout the universe through the coral, and you're basically remotely piloting all the AC's? That would explain why it shows the starter AC rising up with coral red lights like all the other AC's rather than the physical "You" that is your custom AC? You basically ascend into a sort of godhood together with Ayre because you were the only pair suited to trigger the Coral Release with the power of all the coral in Rubicon behind it to fuel it.
I think Snail is a legacy augment himself, who kept tweaking his augments becuase he hated himself as much as he shit talks you. He hates himself and projects it on all other older gen augments.
he started low and then kept upgrading (which might not result in the same thing as simply being a newer gen from scratch).. i think thats mentioned in his arena file
I just ignored the small guys and the seaspider and gave my full attention on Iguazu, i was able to win first try with that strategy
If Armored Core have a DLC is probably focusing on the real Raven, and learn his history with the PCA
that would be cool :D but honestly im down for anything xb
Enjoyed your full playthrough, been a blast! Seems the 3rd ending sets the stage for the next AC6. I believe this to be the true ending.
It would've been so cool if it was Snail vs 621 vs Michigan instead of Iguazu. The best Mech three way standoff
Sadly Michigan was already dead by then.
imagine the plot twist thought if he wasnt because Rusty was the one sent to kill him but he didnt because he is RLF and didnt care about arquebus either and told michigan to scram after besting him in combat so arquebus thinks hes dead.. but he then proceeds to come back to try to sneak in and kill snail xb @@edgargad2941
Ultimate plot twist: the ending is 621 saving Kate Markson and ditching ayre
@@amielnicoviguella6235 i honestly would much prefer kates voice in my head talking sweet to me xb
"Ah, you're not the only one"
Oh, so Iguazu is also an older gen augment. Wonder what generation. That explains why he's hearing voices and his bizarre obsession with you.
He's gen 4 just like you. Hence why he hates you so much, you and him are both 4th gen but you're so much better, you get all the praise and you best every other pilot multiple times over in some cases, but he doesn't understand why "what makes you different?" that question drove him mad since you succeeded where he failed, half the time his short comings were due to you so that wouldn't help. Iguazu is more of a tragic character when you think about it instead of just being your anime rival.
Was that a Nine-Ball ending ? :)) but we defeated the AI... or not quite ?
If there will be a DLC, they need to make it per ending... so 3 DLCs :) Plus coop missions :)
AC6 is definitely GOTY :)
I wanna believe that it is.
TOTK was just a cash in and Starfield is just No man's Sky Elder Scrolls edition.
Maybe 621 will be 9ball when there's a sequel after this. And we a new pilot shall eliminate 621 🤔
I love to see a coop-mode as an future dlc for big bosses like the strider and the ice worm you and 3 more AC fighting giant C-weapons like in the raid mode off AC4
Here's my logic on the endings. This contains spoilers for this video so if you haven't watched or played through NG++ yet don't read this comment.
-
-
-
-
-
Ending 1 - Fires of Raven. In this ending you go along with Walter and Carla's plan to destroy the coral. This ending is 'bad' because basically everyone (including C4-621) dies.
-
-
-
-
-
Ending 2 - Liberator of Rubicon. In this ending you go against Walter and Carla and assist the Rubicon Liberation Front in 'saving' Rubicon. This ending is 'good' because you work with the underdogs of the story including Rusty. The issue is the RLF aren't actually 'helping' the Coral they simply consume it either via feeding the Mealworms or ingesting it, this is why Thumb Dolmayan becomes despondent toward his previous beliefs as he realizes its all a lie. This ending also doesn't tie up ALLMIND, which means it would be able to eventually achieve its own plans for Coral Release.
-
-
-
-
-
Ending 3 - Alea Iacta Est. In this ending you go against Walter and Carla and assist ALLMIND in achieving Coral Release. However when you and Ayre begin to realize ALLMIND isn't being completely open with their plans you turn on them as well. ALLMIND's plan was to force humanity to undergo 'evolution' via c-pulse augmentation and symbiosis with coral. However that is only a part of the plan, if you notice in the boss fight Iguazu/ALLMIND have greenish blue coral, as do the two Sea-Spider units which support them. To me this implies ALLMIND has found a method to either directly control coral, or generate synthetic coral which can be controlled in such a manner. What this implies is that ALLMIND didn't simply intend to force humanity to evolve but also to ultimately take control of both humanity and coral entirely. Additionally Iguazu's own dialogue about 'dregs' and calling himself a 'ghost' implies ALLMIND has been making 'copies' of augmented humans it has killed likely in an effort to create the perfect combat AI. This is the true ending because it ties up all of the loose ends, there's no one left to meddle with what has happened.
-
After the release the fact you 'spawn' into a generic AC implies only your psyche and Ayre's were transferred, but what this also means is that other augmented humans and/or coral entities now have new bodies. It's obviously an alien concept, but its also extremely interesting. As it is possible that the 'ghosts' of other AC pilots were revived in AC bodies though that is mostly conjecture.
I think LOGHUNT was how allmind was absorbing people.The "battle logs" were actually digital copies of the pilot minds.
There two coral parts in regain control of Xylem
Coral shield
Coral sword or missile not sure which but both are hidden parts in that mission
It's the missile launcher, the sword is your reward for rank 15 of log hunt.
@@Sorain1 that I knew one of them was from rank 15 but wasn’t sure which
i got them :D
Listening to you is entertaining. lol
Thank you xb
Next Update should be CO OP. lol
co op would be sick :D imagine a survival style arena with 2 or 3 friends :D or even just missions :)
SEA SPIDER! NOOOO lol .. that would have made that fight really fun lol 32:40
Love the footage! Another NG plus?! lol
if somebody tells me there is a truly truest ending in NG+++ ill do it xb
Funny part was iguazu's en va was a childe who got beaten everytime he loses
Plus his Consciousness was too strong and can ride the mech
My understanding is that coral "evolved" people into just pure energy coral beings. So by releasing it, all humans in the galaxy have become coral energy beings and can basically go anywhere and control anything.
I think coral already had its own sentience before and seems to have a tendency to drive human minds crazy and maybe potentially take over or at least have a strong effect on who ever comes in contact with it. Apart from 621, everyone else who hears coral seems to go crazy.
Also it seems coral has possessed the bodies of dead AC pilots and resurrected them in the final ending.
Dude is powered by salt 😂
Corporations might try to fight over salt as an energy source after watching that fight xb
10:37 O'Keeffe actually does heal at 9:53
He heals and did during your fight you just didnt notice it. One of the times he heals is when he starts to say "you think you want coral release"
its probably best to focus ALLMIND and ignore/dodge the spiders. he doesn't have that much hp, the hard part is hitting him without being destroyed.
He actually destroys the two spiders when you get him to half health.
@@edgargad2941 yep he shuts them ALL UP
Yep, the true ending's boss was THAT CRAZY.
Glad you reacted the way I expected.
EDIT: The true ending is basically cycles back to the VERY FIRST AC game.
The shields are shoulder weapons you yourself can use.
Whee do I get your chest piece....I've wanted it for awhile
i believe you have to get through the Fires of Raven Ending and you get it after fighting the AC that has it :)
@@ruikiri thanks bro I did it....I had to fight rusty for the last time!!!!
his set is a must if you like to build light AC's xb@@Blakegrimis1990
i beat allmind with the post buffed pair of scudder rifles, a stun needle and 6x plasma missile.
took me a few tries but i did beat the whole run.
I honestly loved this ending fight until I started failing because I ran out of ammo many times in a row. Managed to fist iguazu to death though. The first phase probably shouldnt have all those goons. Ill accept the sea spiders and ayre for the cool shot but just in terms of fight if it was a 1v1 without all the goons and ayre it'd be sick.
bro forgot he has three expansion charges
I only know what a r1 and a l1 is xb everything else i forget sometimes :D theres too many buttons xb
@@ruikiri true lol i constantly forgot to use my expansions i died so many times because of it
Tbh, I don't like the ng++ ending. Aside from you killing everyone, I don't like it that everyone has come to address it as the "true ending" just because thats usually how the naming schemes go. To me it's good ending (liberator), bad (fires of raven), and dark what-if scenario (allmind). To be clear I love the game and the layering of story they build upon for the different branches. But I hope the dark ending isn't what they go forward with for any dlc/ sequel content. For multiple reasons, but whittled downs it's basically that I fear it would be bad, and am not really interested in a remote control/ ghost in the machine story game- unless ofc you get to choose a human all the way branch or smthn lol. I prefer humans being in the mechs, and taking away the human element sorta just makes it 'they are as good as their parts', the cool part about all of this, about rusty, about mechs is that those are people in there, they limits they push, the skill they show all is rooted in human hands or some shit. But to be clear, still love the game, love the variety of story. I just prefer ends 1/2.
I just used 4 laser weapons and ignored those stars it was alot easier than what he was doing
Sublimation it is...
Fromsoft be like : Deal with it 😎
@@ruikiri I personally found all of the endings to be unsatisfactory my expectations for a new armored core game was a lot higher
Reaction to the final fight phase 2 was the exact same as me
Congratulations!
thank you :D
You are welcome!@@ruikiri
Feels like AC4 destruction path end,
following ayre dialogue in the end it seems like player and ayre have been disperse all over the coral release range
also isn't ayre, player relation already symbiotic ? like they literaly live, goes to mission and cooperating together... this end feel really wrong to me
do you really had to burn everything to trully share a live ?
when everyone become Coral that isn't share a live. Coral just want to multiply they don't really care about symbiotic all the talking just to get to their goal
If Thumb Dolmayan is anything to go off the connection won't last, he lost his coral voice at some point. Maybe 621's augmentation makes it a permanent connection but we have no evidence to prove that so it most likely wouldn't last forever.
Main system activating combat mode.... Daaaamnnn
Does anyone know what generator he was using? Cos that generator is just straight up putting in work!
probably either the Ming Tang or the San Tai, they are both Dafeng Generators and the ones i use the most :)
This ending is basically the EVA 3rd impact tbh
Liberator is the only ending i liked. Got to keep your buddy until he was ambushed. Shame if this is the true ending, rusty wont be in dlc or followup :(
what a game! also love how this ending is just evangelion.
never watched it xb but definitely have to :D
Did corral take the place of carbon atoms?
All the corel was sentient.
I like your playthrough atleast gou change build instead keeping it the same through out the game.
i try, for the variety, armored core is about build diversity but i do like my short range stuff xb
This is probably the worst ending like everyone that we know except Ayre is either die by us or by ALLMIND, Chatty, Carla and Waltuh still freaking die, fate of Rusty is now unknow, and now we start to do some kind of invasion bs with the Coral? bruh this is just the worst
While it is safe to assume Rusty died in this route as well, this is the only route that directly opens up the real potential for furthering the story line. Yes yes, if you try hard enough you can find a loose end to follow with either other ending, but generally speaking, coral being scattered across the stars allows for a wide range of options for the direct sequel.
And to be fair, the sequel might be a time skip meaning Walter and Carla would likely be dead due to age then. And even if not, they likely wouldn't be in the next game either way.
No, Fires of Raven is still the worst, this one feels like relying on "hope" that the humanity is going to coexist with the Coral beings, of course some will unfortunatly end up as iguazu who tought the voices in the head was allucinations, but you need to have hope that thing will turn out like 621 and Ayre for a better future and happy coexistence.
Also, let's be honest, altought i did like Carla and Walter, what they wanted wasn't really a good option for the planet, and even if you wanted to explain to them this is the better choice, do you really think they would accept ? And i don't think Rusty died on this one, dude was on par with us, i think he managed to survive.
I really like this ending, better than the Liberator and Fires, because in Liberator, altought you free rubicon, it's still in stalemate, the coral it's there, and other corporations can come to try something again, in the end of the day you didn't resolve the issue with the coral, it's still there, and Fires of raven also isn't really a solution, because in the story of the game we already had a fire that burned the coral 50 years ago, who can guarantee the coral isn't going to come back AGAIN to become a problem ? in this ending you are literally burning a planet alive killing millions of peple and you don't even have the guarantee that the coral isn't going to come back again like already happened in the past.
This fight was the worst boss fight because it is very clear Iguazu would get steamrolled without the ALLMIND goon support. So it feels poorly designed at least for me. Congrats on ending Humanity 👍
thank you man :D yeah the minions were kinda annoying but i just started going straight after iguazu and ignoring them
I killed all minions in phase 1 and then rushed Iguazu down to 50% in phase 2 because fuck dual floating sea-spiders.
hey, i just bought armored core 6, it is your fault that this happened to my whallet
No one:
Nobody:
Not a soul:
Ruikiri: ARE THOSE FUCKING C-SPIDERS?!?
Bro wdym by dat
heck ye
I don't quite understand the last mission.
ALLMIND: We want you to do a thing.
ALLMIND: We no longer want you to do the thing, but also we do, and also Iguazu is here.
621: We want to do the thing, but not while ALLMIND alive. Maybe I'm missing something, but just seems weird and Iguazu seems heavily out of place. He's basically the game's punching bag, and every time you see him it's just like "Shut up Iguazu".
All Mind wanted to make them apart of itself
He was a candidate for the vessel just like 621, Sulla, and a few other numbers listed. His issue was the coral sounds in his head are driving him crazy instead of him being in harmony with it. Other people would have turned away from AllMind because of this but he went along only as a way to get another crack at 621 and ultimately betrays the plan just so he can get his revenge.
ALLMIND wanted to "further the advancement of human race" using coral. And from what we see ALLMIND is capable of doing, she probably wants to absorb all of humanity to themselves. When everybody started to shot each other in that one mission they said: "Without their leader they're helpless and turn into chaos." "These fragile human connection won't do." If everyone become part of ALLMIND's Hivemind there's should be no conflict like that, no? Coral can also be used as data conduit, basically internet or cable. And if they're spread across the galaxy, then ALLMIND can use them to spread their control over the galaxy.
ALLMIND realized that 621 was Him and noticed that he was gen 4 augmentation. The reason she chooses Iguazu is because he is also gen 4, So I believe allmind just thought gen 4 augmentation was best to combat raven.
Problem is, someone with enough willpower/personality could break free of ALLMIND's control as seen with Iguazu in the last fight. Surely as strong as 621 probably could break free too, right? And they got sentient Coral in their side too, so there's no telling how it will end up if they're still exist, that's why ALLMIND planned to kill them.
I really hope fromsoft makes a secuel :D or at least more Armored Core games
me too :D
