Joshua O'Brien was forced to pilot the 00-Aretha because Omer was going to attack his home if he didn't. During the mission Marche Au Supplice, O'Brien attacked Anatolia while the Lynx was away. The Lynx then proceeded to kill his best friend. Either way Joshua wouldn't have made it though. But the AC4 Lynx returns and pilots the ACFA White Glint in memory of Joshua. Just incase people were confused :3

First time AC player with AC6. I have heard this song several times, either here in YT or elsewhere. I never knew it came from AC! Incredible. Im so glad AC6 brought me here.
Can't blame you, Rusty and 621's friendship gave me serious Joshua and Merc vibes from the start. Both fights gave me that same lump in my throat of having to fight someone I grew to like and consider an ally.
There are no flaws. J is the pinnacle of what it means to be the best. He is both an ideal and a lesson in consequence. Anatolia fell. Line Ark fell. Orca Fell. Everything White Glint helped along has failed. Much like Leos Klein and Maximillian Thermidor who see their ideals crumble and revert to their old ways, the Raven falls from his ascendance in to a hero back to what he began as. A mercenary. A killer. Existing just to be the best, like so many Ravens before him.
After having a considerable amount of time to think it over, I don't think that's necessarily true. While it is true that many things that characters like White Glint and Strayed lent their strength to ended up falling, they didn't fail because of them specifically. Anatolia and Line Ark fell because of outside pressures that overwhelmed them. ORCA fell, but the purpose it had been created for had already been achieved. Additionally, Line Ark wasn't entirely lost. White Glint's actions basically ensured that Line Ark would live to fight another day, and with the Closed Plan being accomplished, the League's power and influence was weakened significantly, allowing the possibility that Line Ark could rise again. I think these characters are more a lesson in purpose rather than consequence. Armored Core games repeatedly ask the question, "What are you fighting for?" When they find purpose, they are able to help create or strengthen something bigger than themselves for the sake of someone other than themselves. Without purpose, it's as you say, they revert to what they started as. Mercenaries, killers, existing only to be the best.
This song is my fav in the game, it sure has a feeling of gentel and action. I love the final Boss, he pilots a AC which has twice the size of your next and the weapons he has are massive also gotta love that blast he does which has a extreme radius. And he fights with honor, I never got angry for losing to him, he is like a cool opponent. And if there where Nexts/AC's that be my dream job :D "Hey... I guess theres little need for words...

Raven People Exaggerated about you, your a mere joke, if you played it on hard mode that is what you get not a friend but an enemy he can be annoying all the time White Glint is a antagonist he ain't your bud he just wants to protect his home even attempting to kill you 4 times the 4th time was when he got me on the last mission it is a pain you think he died and blew up that is fake not real what was real is when he tricked you and hopped into another Next and killed your ass well my ass technically
Alex Moor ok When you fight Barbaroi when white glint comes he does not help you but attack that was the first the next one is when you fight Sherring it is a annoying I think and when you fight Mary Sherring he also does the same like the last 2 try to put you down also I am talking about the AC4 white glint not ACFA and Hard Mode is the Canon story
Alex Moor Blackmail of what exactly I do not know the fucking plot to AC4 jeez do not go and assualt me I know some of it but not all ok it took me well over a year to figure how white glint survived and I was shocked it was Anatolia's mercenary since I didn't own AC4A and I had to give up AC3 and AC2 for it and it seemed like a bad trade
In the English version there bloody well was a need for words. No explanation for what was happening whatsoever. I had to look it up in the fandom to find out that it wasn't cos O'Brian fancied Fiona and was all angers at AM and stuff.
What I consider to be the key piece of evidence supporting the ORCA ending as canon is the fact that one of the workshops you can use in Armored Core V is a Corporation space station. The only way the Corporation could possess a space station is if the Closed Plan was carried out. This basically depends on whether or not the workshops themselves are canon, or if the ties between AC4 and ACV were retconned in ACVD.
ACVD didn't retcon the ties between AC4/FA and ACV. In fact, everyone thought ACV was a new universe entirely (as far as I was seeing) until ACVD revealed they were connected.
AKA The Titan The Cradles are designed to glide down safely if they lose power. Given that there are crashed cradles present in Verdict Day, it's more likely that the Destruction Path was canon.
See now I was always under the impression that it went "I've already fallen I can't drive my head It's that I fall in you" Listening to Fall -into the grace- seems to support this
*Post fight* Raven: "Damn it...damnit." *sensors go off, sees Omar aligned NEXT* Raven: "The Corporations will pay, O'Brian, you aren't gonna be alone long..."
The merc you play as in AC4 along side with the operator Fiona went off and joined up with Line Ark and helped them. This mech, the new White Glint was crafted by an AC master craftsmen and the two named it White Glint in memory and in honor of Joshua since the three of them were close friends and since his death have fought in his name against those who lead Joshua's death and blackmailed him to do what he did.
Oldking ending is the only ending. See Wynne? Otsdarva? that's how a REAL bro dies. he doesn't fake a freaking thruster failure because he's scared of a little combat. He walks right into that ambush with you, facing the most powerful Lynx on the planet-- and does he care? Hell no he doesn't, because you're on his side.
You know what's great too? Armored Core Verdict Day all but confirms the Destruction ending, ACFA marking the humanity's decent into dark, ACV being the start of its ascent from darkness, and ACVD being the fight to finalize that reemergence. After all, fighting on the wrecks of Spirit class Arms Forts and crashed Cradles, and fighting a NEXT as the final boss is pretty definitive, ne?
Armored Core V confirms the ORCA ending. The Corporation has a space colony, which could only happen if the Assault Cells (which destroy anything attempting to leave Earth's atmosphere,) were destroyed. This only happens in the ORCA ending. The Cradles also come crashing down in the ORCA ending, so there's that too. Additionally with Armored Core 6 coming out, we know that it takes place on a whole other planet, so if there's any connections to the 4 and 5 series games, that solidifies even further that the ORCA Path is canon.
@@corvus9359 Any of the endings are possible, its just that we can assume that somewhere on the way, they destroyed the Assault Cells. In the Destruction Ending, Strayed destroys the Corporations and Cradles, leading to a new World Order and the possible destruction of the Assault Cells, that I'd like to believe is merciful at first, but slowly becomes tyrannical, leading to the events of V In the League Ending, the League eventually forms into the Corporation, and as the Cradles prove worthless for escaping Kojima Contamination, the Corporations forms the City, that is oppressive and leads to the events of V. In the ORCA Ending, the Corporate Elite leave Earth into Space, leaving the People to suffer on Earth, but form a new world free from the Corporations. But as all things do, the Mistake of the Old World begin seeping into their New World, causing another tyrannical Government, leading to the events of V.
@@dooggo-1402 Only one ending is possible. The only way the Assault Cells were going to be destroyed is with the anti-satellite cannons. This doesn't happen in the destruction ending because Strayed just goes on a killing rampage. Since everyone's dead, nobody reaches space because there's nobody left with the resources to make that happen. In the League Ending, all traces of ORCA were completely destroyed, and the anti-satellite cannons were also destroyed. It also literally said people forgot about the eventual Kojima contamination that was catching up with them. By the time they would realize what was happening, it would already be too late.
@@corvus9359 you do realize it's a reboot right? AC5/VD were the only exceptions with them taking place after AC4/FA. Games such as AC2, and AC3 for example are completely separate from each other timeline-wise and have their own separate sequels. They are *not* however, connected in any way whatsoever
AC4 story in a nutshell part 10. 1. After this you would normally destroy there main base like like you did BFF flagship but, Raylernard, at the brink tells a certain somebody about the Closed Plan and how it will only happen if they win, and that someone is Berlioz, the No. 1 most friendliest mother trucker ever who decides to carry it out, him being so awesome he is able to get 3 other to work with him to make an unstoppable team that would make you lose if it wasn't for you MR. awesomesause.
Games are split up when it comes to overall lore. 4 and 5 are connected with the events of 4 freeing humanity to explore space, but the destruction of the war set them back tech wise. It's why 5's mechs are smaller and not as maneuverable since 4's mechs and emissions almost killed the world. 4's main plot comes from human colonies in the sky (cradles) floated above the pollution of earth. One path (Orca) involved forcing the cradles to land potentially killing millions, but it opens the skies for humanity to try to escape to other planets (AC2 takes place on Mars). So it seems Orca was successful. 5 follows the calamity of 4 with people finally starting to move towards space while still constantly fighting. Don't know what happens in AC1, but in 2 humans have colonized Mars and new corporations are fighting each other much like 4. Fights pretty much continue up until 3. 3 was technically the last (if 2 and 3 are part of same universe as 4 and 5).
I think at that point in time it's very clear that the Raven was somehow integrated in to White Glint, Phantasma style. Usually characters can't pull this off with out some heavy cyborg level modifications. It seems to me that all of the time lines are likely somehow linked at this point. Also, J strikes me as being the original pilot, considering how he pulls the classic spin maneuver with White Glint.
LYNX are physically linked into their cockpits. When we fight N-WGIX/v at the end of Verdict Day, it's a clone of J, piloting a NEXT made of different parts.
Apparently J is an artificial human cloned from a skilled pilot. With Aspina being known for their human experimentation, and The Foundation known for trying to recover lost technology, as well as J having the same Japanese VA as Joshua O'Brien, the original White Glint, it's possible that J is a clone of Joshua O'Brien with "J" standing for "Joshua." This would make sense for J because the N-WGIX/v was clearly an attempt to recreate a NEXT. In order to pilot a NEXT, the pilot needs to be able to interface with the AMS. Joshua O'Brien was known to have high AMS compatibility, so cloning him would be a good way to get a pilot capable of controlling the N-WGIX/v.
@@corvus9359but it seemed faulty The next i mean As far as I seen assault armor cuased it to be imobile which is a fatal flaw for an next If you cant move fast enough without PA its a death sentence
@@R-XI_Sulla Oh yeah definitely. The Foundation came close to recreating a NEXT, but not close enough. The N-WGIX/v looks very experimental and its flaws are probably due to knowledge gaps and inadequate technology to properly create a NEXT. It was certainly a formidable opponent for conventional ACs, but against an actual NEXT, it wouldn't stand a chance.
0:34 for some reason I can hear a giga chad theme in low base Its like two men understand what their doing and they know it may hurt each other so therefore they embraced it hope for the best.......
For Answer is an Armored core 4 era game. Each number change signifies either a new continuity (AC3 and 4) or a major timeline change (AC2, which was about 1000 years after AC1).
Final Boss, Prototype NEXT: 00-Aretha, God I would love to pilot it :D I hope Armored Core 5 will be based much on it, since the 00-Aretha has massive weapons just like in the Armored Core 5 Teaser =] And this is my fav AC song =D
You have to keep in mind that fan favorites always find a way back. Looks at 9ball and Jack-o. Some of the newer model AC's even resemble older one's. Maybe that's just their way of saying keep calm and battle on.
God I want Armored Core 4 so badly... I've been playin' Armored Core 3 for the first time lately... I made it to A-1 in the Arena, but I can't beat the game without the KARASAWA, so I'm gonna hafta start over again from scratch, and try to get the KARASAWA.
No I cant and dont want to see the modern media ruining it It has an very good chance for succes but its still to low for me I dont want to see this gem to be ruined by people trying to push agendas
Only three fights I deem memorable. The Fight with Joshua or (Final Boss) The Fight with Barbaroi (or Amazigh The Desert Wolf) The Fight with White Glint (ACFA)
The theory is that he survived since the operator of WG was very close to the pilot. This is also evident in how you just get the Next after it is supposedly shot down.
Owned this guy AND Supplice taking 5k points of damage. Joshua's weakness in this Super AC is close quarters combat, so if you're good with blades, you're in luck. As for Supplice, medium range combat is the easiest way to take care of him. I used the Mussel shell Missile launcher in tandem with the HLR01-Canopus Hi laser Rifle. Drains PA like no other and has an awesome PA piercing to boot.
it was a name given to joshua o'brien (first pilot of wg) because of his high speed combat style, theres only one raven left and thats the protagonist of ac4 who is the white glint on fa. imo the reason why the over boost for white glint 2 looks like that is because hes the last raven so thats why it look like wings when over boosting, also in fa he is rank nine to represent nine ball :p
it just represents that 2 best friends meet and the verge off battle knowing only one of them is gonna walk away from this alive. Both forced to this conclusion by war. Both who will fight to protect their home from this war, even if it meant fighting one another.
The lyrics are either _I've already fallen_ _I don't want to fight you_ _It's so hard_ _Wanting you_ Or _I've already fallen_ _I can't drive my head_ _It's that I fall in you_ Personally, I think it's the second one.
Zappy Caboose I can hear both of them. Although i'm listening to the "Fall Into the grace" version of this song. 0:34 - 0:55 of this version you can hear both of the lyrics you posted AND I can hear "I won't hurt a comrade, I don't want to fight you" at 0:59 - 1:05 so it's like this: I've already fallen I don't want to fight you It's so hard wanting you I've already fallen I can't drive my head It's that I fall in you . I won't hurt a comrade I don't want to fight you
+Night Flyer I'm not sure if i'm 100% accurate as if you look at different parts of the lyrics i posted for example the 2nd part while the song plays the first part, you'll here I can't drive my head. It's that i fall in you. However imo the lyrics i posted is more accurate story wise. As the final boss doesn't want to fight you "I don't want to fight you" "I won't hurt a comrade" and has "fallen" where it's either a do this or die so he has no choice
this mission wasn't dofficult on hard, but man, I was so pissed at the NEXT who arrives when you beat Joshua. CELO, who taunts you by effectively downplaying your skill and when you destroy him? His NEXT is exploding, and he just laughs in a very creepy manner.
@Yatolcharles just equip the wing arms and the dual back cannons the shell ones that have 20 ammo. the first one just use the cannons and the seccond 1 use the cannons and the missles
@X17Clones I did a little digging (played AC4) and yes Omer science was behind it. I believe they held Joshuas family hostage which is why he agreed to fight in the first place. I don't think Omer held Aspina hostage but rather the 2 were working together. Therefore it is fitting that Celo does turn up for the party.
i like how in the beginning u have to kill "him or her"(its never really certain in the start it says he then in for answer it say she in the loading screen he and at the end she but once u finish certain missins in "for answer or amored core 4"(white glint is in both) u get to team up with W.G its actualy pretty fun doing so i hate when u have to fight the "for answer" arms fort in the end... huuggee disapointment its was honestly too easy XD
The theory i came across suggested that Shinkai was a double agent for collared and that he faked his death to return to ORCA although he was truly loyal to Collared and took the opportunity to kill Thermidor, Shinkai was then mistaken for Thermidor in the battle after killing him, only to correct the operator saying he killed him. Sounds riduclously elaborate for this game but it sounds cool XD
AC4 story in a nutshell part 5. 1. So you do some missions and you eventually have to go after Aldra best robot friend who is No .14 sherring, who likes to share pain with people, and your like sharing is caring wreck is stuff so you just killed the 14th best friend in the world, basicly just went halfway through the 26 ranks of friends and screw Aldra, two birds with one stone. 2. After that you decide to do a different mission hoping it is safe, only to have to kill three super friends of evil
AC4 story in a nutshell, Semi Final. 1. You pretty much show the world the true meaning of friendship and you destroy all four of the robots and Berlioz even applauding you before he dies, now that is a friend right there. Making the undisputed No 1. Friend. Rayernored runs away to their main water base only for you to destroy it, and guess what your main man josh just destroyed Akev vit main base, ending the Fat War. The final part is next yaaaaaay!
listening to this song reminds me of the 2 annoying sentences i heard like 2000 times... "heh. im coming in after you. you can chew me out on the other side"... had to remodel my core zapper with bettr equips (putting me overweight) to beat him normal mode and remodel it into zapper T with even better equips for me to beat him on hard... omg man... ridiculous... and just let me tell you that my core is awesome... thats how outragous things are here... this thing beat all the simulator bosses but a couple within 10s or less... record of 6s... what i do is let out my pulse gun and laser rifle's fury out on you at the first moment... and so long as you dont circle me quickly you will go down... well the outragous part is that aretha has way too much AP and hits too darn hard and he freakin TELEPORTS... but i guess this is good because of the energy issues from the better equips... so developers... i just have 1 thing to say... "y u make fial boss so HARD!?!?!?"
I only just recently got my PS3 for X-Mas '09, so I haven't gotten Armored Core 4 yet. I suspect I'll be grabbin' Armored Core 5 first, though. I just want all of them.
No the ghost of rayleonard is Shinkai and some people say that Otsdarva is his secret identity. I follow with that theory from the Dialogue after the mission "Spirit of motherwill" and in the mission "Attack arteria cranium"
@TehPSFanboy Kind of, the experimental next he used had many faults, one of them is that the kojima generator in it is so strong that anyone in it would suffer severe kojima sickness.
@LuckyNoDice747 Man, taking on Motherwill, Over Boosting like crazy to fly past the waves of missiles. Cabracan, Quick Boosting like crazy to dodge the lasers. Than there is the Answerer. Speechless. XD I guess those were the best, Arms Fort battles. Though Answerer shouldn't have gone down just because you sliced a few wings off, and Motherwill shouldn't have gone down just because you plugged a few holes in, and blew off it's cannons.
AC4 story in a nutshell part 2. 1. After doing mission for a bunch of different fattersons, One of the top faterson, GA, hires you to do something for them eliminate a sub group of their who are leaving, so you help them leave, THROUGH DEATH! 2. But you you soon learn that fatterson don't like each other and that Akva vit, a small fatterson, BUT is back up by the the No 1. Fatty of the time Rayelnard, and the little sub GA you destroyed was friends with Akva vit, and so the WAR OF FAT begins.
@Tanshiniza Actually, it was Omer I believe. Omer was holding Aspina hostage, and wanted to elimate Joshua O'Brian and the player. Hence, why when you play on Hard mode on this mission, Celo comes to try and kill you.

AKA The Titan The Cradles are designed to glide down safely if they lose power. Given that there are crashed cradles present in Verdict Day, it's more likely that the Destruction Path was canon.
@@corpussakahagi2116 in ORCA ending you also divert all power from cradles to anti sat cannons, meaning people on cradles also die but for a cause
See now I was always under the impression that it went
"I've already fallen
I can't drive my head
It's that I fall in you"
Listening to Fall -into the grace- seems to support this
Raven: "Joshua! what the hell are you doing! We trusted you, why? Do not make me fi---Dammit Joshua!"
*Post fight*
Raven: "Damn it...damnit." *sensors go off, sees Omar aligned NEXT*
Raven: "The Corporations will pay, O'Brian, you aren't gonna be alone long..."
I know this is 9 years old but-
It's sad that he was black mailed into it too
It is our time Ravens! Our chance to make ourselves known! Let us make our names on Rubicon!
The merc you play as in AC4 along side with the operator Fiona went off and joined up with Line Ark and helped them. This mech, the new White Glint was crafted by an AC master craftsmen and the two named it White Glint in memory and in honor of Joshua since the three of them were close friends and since his death have fought in his name against those who lead Joshua's death and blackmailed him to do what he did.
This fight actually makes you put feeling into it, meaning emotion. One from the theme music and from who you're fighting.
better be enjoying amc6
Oldking ending is the only ending.
See Wynne? Otsdarva? that's how a REAL bro dies. he doesn't fake a freaking thruster failure because he's scared of a little combat. He walks right into that ambush with you, facing the most powerful Lynx on the planet-- and does he care?
Hell no he doesn't, because you're on his side.
Never really realised how much of legend Oldking was til I read this. Thanks
Though it comes at the cost of you becoming History's Greatest Monster.
I may be his lapdog, but he fights to the end
@@boxtank5288 aka hitler x1000
Fuck yeah bro.
You know what's great too? Armored Core Verdict Day all but confirms the Destruction ending, ACFA marking the humanity's decent into dark, ACV being the start of its ascent from darkness, and ACVD being the fight to finalize that reemergence. After all, fighting on the wrecks of Spirit class Arms Forts and crashed Cradles, and fighting a NEXT as the final boss is pretty definitive, ne?
Any of them could be, its not like the Corporations would ever stop fighting each other.
Armored Core V confirms the ORCA ending. The Corporation has a space colony, which could only happen if the Assault Cells (which destroy anything attempting to leave Earth's atmosphere,) were destroyed. This only happens in the ORCA ending. The Cradles also come crashing down in the ORCA ending, so there's that too.
Additionally with Armored Core 6 coming out, we know that it takes place on a whole other planet, so if there's any connections to the 4 and 5 series games, that solidifies even further that the ORCA Path is canon.
@@corvus9359 Any of the endings are possible, its just that we can assume that somewhere on the way, they destroyed the Assault Cells.
In the Destruction Ending, Strayed destroys the Corporations and Cradles, leading to a new World Order and the possible destruction of the Assault Cells, that I'd like to believe is merciful at first, but slowly becomes tyrannical, leading to the events of V
In the League Ending, the League eventually forms into the Corporation, and as the Cradles prove worthless for escaping Kojima Contamination, the Corporations forms the City, that is oppressive and leads to the events of V.
In the ORCA Ending, the Corporate Elite leave Earth into Space, leaving the People to suffer on Earth, but form a new world free from the Corporations. But as all things do, the Mistake of the Old World begin seeping into their New World, causing another tyrannical Government, leading to the events of V.
@@dooggo-1402 Only one ending is possible. The only way the Assault Cells were going to be destroyed is with the anti-satellite cannons. This doesn't happen in the destruction ending because Strayed just goes on a killing rampage. Since everyone's dead, nobody reaches space because there's nobody left with the resources to make that happen.
In the League Ending, all traces of ORCA were completely destroyed, and the anti-satellite cannons were also destroyed. It also literally said people forgot about the eventual Kojima contamination that was catching up with them. By the time they would realize what was happening, it would already be too late.
@@corvus9359 you do realize it's a reboot right? AC5/VD were the only exceptions with them taking place after AC4/FA. Games such as AC2, and AC3 for example are completely separate from each other timeline-wise and have their own separate sequels. They are *not* however, connected in any way whatsoever
I've owned every armored core game so far. I love it!
I'm not even a fan of the mech fighting genre... so why do I keep coming back to Armored Core's soundtrack?!
Music dosn't belong to a genra
@@DrMaseus He very clearly meant that music doesn't belong to a _game_ genre.
AC4 story in a nutshell part 10.
1. After this you would normally destroy there main base like like you did BFF flagship but, Raylernard, at the brink tells a certain somebody about the Closed Plan and how it will only happen if they win, and that someone is Berlioz, the No. 1 most friendliest mother trucker ever who decides to carry it out, him being so awesome he is able to get 3 other to work with him to make an unstoppable team that would make you lose if it wasn't for you MR. awesomesause.
So i just got into Armored Core about five minutes ago, having found out it existed.
So far so good lol
Update: been 3 months. Still can’t figure out anything about the lore help
Ruphite english version of AC is badly translated from the japanese version of it that has the good lore
N-WGIX aw that sucks. I don’t speak japanese :/
@@ruphite9521 late response but thankfully people translated some of it into the wiki
Games are split up when it comes to overall lore. 4 and 5 are connected with the events of 4 freeing humanity to explore space, but the destruction of the war set them back tech wise. It's why 5's mechs are smaller and not as maneuverable since 4's mechs and emissions almost killed the world.
4's main plot comes from human colonies in the sky (cradles) floated above the pollution of earth. One path (Orca) involved forcing the cradles to land potentially killing millions, but it opens the skies for humanity to try to escape to other planets (AC2 takes place on Mars). So it seems Orca was successful. 5 follows the calamity of 4 with people finally starting to move towards space while still constantly fighting. Don't know what happens in AC1, but in 2 humans have colonized Mars and new corporations are fighting each other much like 4. Fights pretty much continue up until 3. 3 was technically the last (if 2 and 3 are part of same universe as 4 and 5).
This song gives me so many feeling that i dont know how to describe, never played the game before
I think at that point in time it's very clear that the Raven was somehow integrated in to White Glint, Phantasma style. Usually characters can't pull this off with out some heavy cyborg level modifications. It seems to me that all of the time lines are likely somehow linked at this point. Also, J strikes me as being the original pilot, considering how he pulls the classic spin maneuver with White Glint.
LYNX are physically linked into their cockpits. When we fight N-WGIX/v at the end of Verdict Day, it's a clone of J, piloting a NEXT made of different parts.
Apparently J is an artificial human cloned from a skilled pilot. With Aspina being known for their human experimentation, and The Foundation known for trying to recover lost technology, as well as J having the same Japanese VA as Joshua O'Brien, the original White Glint, it's possible that J is a clone of Joshua O'Brien with "J" standing for "Joshua."
This would make sense for J because the N-WGIX/v was clearly an attempt to recreate a NEXT. In order to pilot a NEXT, the pilot needs to be able to interface with the AMS. Joshua O'Brien was known to have high AMS compatibility, so cloning him would be a good way to get a pilot capable of controlling the N-WGIX/v.
@@corvus9359but it seemed faulty
The next i mean
As far as I seen assault armor cuased it to be imobile which is a fatal flaw for an next
If you cant move fast enough without PA its a death sentence
@@R-XI_Sulla Oh yeah definitely. The Foundation came close to recreating a NEXT, but not close enough. The N-WGIX/v looks very experimental and its flaws are probably due to knowledge gaps and inadequate technology to properly create a NEXT. It was certainly a formidable opponent for conventional ACs, but against an actual NEXT, it wouldn't stand a chance.
0:34 for some reason I can hear a giga chad theme in low base
Its like two men understand what their doing and they know it may hurt each other so therefore they embraced it hope for the best.......
For Answer is an Armored core 4 era game. Each number change signifies either a new continuity (AC3 and 4) or a major timeline change (AC2, which was about 1000 years after AC1).
Final Boss, Prototype NEXT: 00-Aretha, God I would love to pilot it :D
I hope Armored Core 5 will be based much on it, since the 00-Aretha has massive weapons just like in the Armored Core 5 Teaser =]
And this is my fav AC song =D
This game's OST's drums are off the god damn WALLS
why does every armored core game has that one final boss that has you in tears after the fight
I definitely didn't shed tears for beating Stinger into pulp, balling over Nine-Ball, and outright screamed "FUCK YES" after defeating Zinaida.
i wish i knew armored core sooner
You have to keep in mind that fan favorites always find a way back. Looks at 9ball and Jack-o. Some of the newer model AC's even resemble older one's. Maybe that's just their way of saying keep calm and battle on.
God I want Armored Core 4 so badly...
I've been playin' Armored Core 3 for the first time lately... I made it to A-1 in the Arena, but I can't beat the game without the KARASAWA, so I'm gonna hafta start over again from scratch, and try to get the KARASAWA.
傭兵『くそ、速い…！ジョシュアとは差が違いすぎる…！けどな、負けれないんだよ、こっちだって…！！』
Mercenary: Damn, fast…! The difference is too different from Joshua…! But I can't lose, this one…!!
"Hey... I guess there's little need for words huh?"
Pretty cool that you can hear the melody from 4A's Today in this song.
N-WGIX stands for NEXT-White Glint IX ( IX means 9 in roman numeral)
True?
My favorite theme in the whole series.
they should make a movie out of this whole videogame series. that would be way cool
No
I cant and dont want to see the modern media ruining it
It has an very good chance for succes but its still to low for me
I dont want to see this gem to be ruined by people trying to push agendas
@@R-XI_Sulla yeah... I guess you're right. But with AI assistance, maybe an indie group could make a fan made series?
I can still hear the alarms going off in certain parts of the beat.
*Main System. ENGAGING COMBAT MODE.* Welcome back ravens.
Only three fights I deem memorable.
The Fight with Joshua or (Final Boss)
The Fight with Barbaroi (or Amazigh The Desert Wolf)
The Fight with White Glint (ACFA)
you can't have two game series with the best soundtrack
May all us ravens chase the clouds from over Rubicon, never to fall again
The theory is that he survived since the operator of WG was very close to the pilot. This is also evident in how you just get the Next after it is supposedly shot down.
Owned this guy AND Supplice taking 5k points of damage. Joshua's weakness in this Super AC is close quarters combat, so if you're good with blades, you're in luck. As for Supplice, medium range combat is the easiest way to take care of him. I used the Mussel shell Missile launcher in tandem with the HLR01-Canopus Hi laser Rifle. Drains PA like no other and has an awesome PA piercing to boot.
it was a name given to joshua o'brien (first pilot of wg) because of his high speed combat style, theres only one raven left and thats the protagonist of ac4 who is the white glint on fa. imo the reason why the over boost for white glint 2 looks like that is because hes the last raven so thats why it look like wings when over boosting, also in fa he is rank nine to represent nine ball :p
Besides Marche Au Supplice, this was my favorite battle in the game. It's weird though, because I always won by cutting his head with a blade.
"Heh.. lap dog"
Hay...
Guess there's little need for words...
then
All those stories about you...
They're exaggerating
HAHAHAHAHA!
Watching Omer's party crasher go down was EXTREMELY cathartic after what they'd forced Joshua to do.
why do i shad tears to this song?
it just represents that 2 best friends meet and the verge off battle knowing only one of them is gonna walk away from this alive. Both forced to this conclusion by war. Both who will fight to protect their home from this war, even if it meant fighting one another.
The lyrics are either
_I've already fallen_
_I don't want to fight you_
_It's so hard_
_Wanting you_
Or
_I've already fallen_
_I can't drive my head_
_It's that I fall in you_
Personally, I think it's the second one.
Zappy Caboose I can hear both of them. Although i'm listening to the "Fall Into the grace" version of this song. 0:34 - 0:55 of this version you can hear both of the lyrics you posted AND I can hear "I won't hurt a comrade, I don't want to fight you" at 0:59 - 1:05 so it's like this:
I've already fallen
I don't want to fight you
It's so hard wanting you
I've already fallen
I can't drive my head
It's that I fall in you
.
I won't hurt a comrade
I don't want to fight you
+Night Flyer I'm not sure if i'm 100% accurate as if you look at different parts of the lyrics i posted for example the 2nd part while the song plays the first part, you'll here I can't drive my head. It's that i fall in you.
However imo the lyrics i posted is more accurate story wise. As the final boss doesn't want to fight you "I don't want to fight you" "I won't hurt a comrade" and has "fallen" where it's either a do this or die so he has no choice
+Zappy Caboose Welcome to Armored Core music, where even the LYRICS are ambiguous :P
***** Thinker has accurate lyrics because of the Reprises track.
Well after a year, looking back at my comment I'm embarrassed at the English of my younger self.
this mission wasn't dofficult on hard, but man, I was so pissed at the NEXT who arrives when you beat Joshua. CELO, who taunts you by effectively downplaying your skill and when you destroy him? His NEXT is exploding, and he just laughs in a very creepy manner.
its my dream to make a real AC and 4 some reason this song helps me keep pursuing it/
How'd it go?
The AC games have always had a pretty unique soundtrack :)
西部劇の一騎打ちを思わせるラストバトルに似つかわしい曲
A Badassed song to go with a badassed boss!
@Yatolcharles just equip the wing arms and the dual back cannons the shell ones that have 20 ammo. the first one just use the cannons and the seccond 1 use the cannons and the missles
"Hey...I guess there's little need for words.
Me: "Why Jashua!"
DAMN YOU OMER SCIENCE!!! D:
@X17Clones I did a little digging (played AC4) and yes Omer science was behind it. I believe they held Joshuas family hostage which is why he agreed to fight in the first place. I don't think Omer held Aspina hostage but rather the 2 were working together. Therefore it is fitting that Celo does turn up for the party.
You have a good taste in game :)
i like how in the beginning u have to kill "him or her"(its never really certain in the start it says he then in for answer it say she in the loading screen he and at the end she
but once u finish certain missins in "for answer or amored core 4"(white glint is in both) u get to team up with W.G
its actualy pretty fun doing so
i hate when u have to fight the "for answer" arms fort in the end... huuggee disapointment its was honestly too easy
XD
God this is so old sheesh. Time flies.
Well... i guess there's little need for words
Why can I imagine this as a song in FLCL? :3
The theory i came across suggested that Shinkai was a double agent for collared and that he faked his death to return to ORCA although he was truly loyal to Collared and took the opportunity to kill Thermidor, Shinkai was then mistaken for Thermidor in the battle after killing him, only to correct the operator saying he killed him.
Sounds riduclously elaborate for this game but it sounds cool XD
REEEEEEEE fire
The lyrics of this song are what i want my metal gear to sing in mgs:peacewalker
*13 years ago*
ストーリーとしては完結してるけどfaの続編やりたいな
自分的にはORCAルートの先がやりたいですね。
アサルトセルを無くしたあとに、宇宙が戦闘の舞台になって、そこでネクストが縦横無尽にQBやOBを吹かす……
なんている妄想を膨らませたり……
This feels like old wild west a little.
Celo disliked this
Olivia Grendon IKR!
Kameron Esters And Omer.
That beginning reminds me of a song from ultrakill. Dunno if the composer was inspired by this game
the man is still a terrifying pilot
AC4 story in a nutshell part 5.
1. So you do some missions and you eventually have to go after Aldra best robot friend who is No .14 sherring, who likes to share pain with people, and your like sharing is caring wreck is stuff so you just killed the 14th best friend in the world, basicly just went halfway through the 26 ranks of friends and screw Aldra, two birds with one stone.
2. After that you decide to do a different mission hoping it is safe, only to have to kill three super friends of evil
Looks like you haven't seen how powerful Nineball Seraph is... But yea, Anatolia's Raven has a very high chance of defeating it.
AC4 story in a nutshell, Semi Final.
1. You pretty much show the world the true meaning of friendship and you destroy all four of the robots and Berlioz even applauding you before he dies, now that is a friend right there. Making the undisputed No 1. Friend. Rayernored runs away to their main water base only for you to destroy it, and guess what your main man josh just destroyed Akev vit main base, ending the Fat War.
The final part is next yaaaaaay!
Awesome.
listening to this song reminds me of the 2 annoying sentences i heard like 2000 times... "heh. im coming in after you. you can chew me out on the other side"... had to remodel my core zapper with bettr equips (putting me overweight) to beat him normal mode and remodel it into zapper T with even better equips for me to beat him on hard... omg man... ridiculous... and just let me tell you that my core is awesome... thats how outragous things are here... this thing beat all the simulator bosses but a couple within 10s or less... record of 6s... what i do is let out my pulse gun and laser rifle's fury out on you at the first moment... and so long as you dont circle me quickly you will go down... well the outragous part is that aretha has way too much AP and hits too darn hard and he freakin TELEPORTS... but i guess this is good because of the energy issues from the better equips... so developers... i just have 1 thing to say... "y u make fial boss so HARD!?!?!?"
I only just recently got my PS3 for X-Mas '09, so I haven't gotten Armored Core 4 yet. I suspect I'll be grabbin' Armored Core 5 first, though.
I just want all of them.
Those drums and bass are to die for
I've already fallen.
I dont want to fight you.
It's so hard wanting you.
I have to agree, I guess thats why I never use Omer stuff and always do missions where they are the enemy... Heh...
No the ghost of rayleonard is Shinkai and some people say that Otsdarva is his secret identity. I follow with that theory from the Dialogue after the mission "Spirit of motherwill" and in the mission "Attack arteria cranium"
@pkemr4 If you remember correctly from the opening vid, it lost the ANNR assault rifle due to being hit while assaulting the Spirit Of Motherwill.
@TehPSFanboy Kind of, the experimental next he used had many faults, one of them is that the kojima generator in it is so strong that anyone in it would suffer severe kojima sickness.
@LuckyNoDice747 Man, taking on Motherwill, Over Boosting like crazy to fly past the waves of missiles. Cabracan, Quick Boosting like crazy to dodge the lasers. Than there is the Answerer. Speechless. XD I guess those were the best, Arms Fort battles. Though Answerer shouldn't have gone down just because you sliced a few wings off, and Motherwill shouldn't have gone down just because you plugged a few holes in, and blew off it's cannons.
really nice song i love it =)
Sounds like a song you'd hear in Hi-fi Rush
言葉は…………いや、最早何も言うまい……
15495 kob Welp Japan let see how far you can pace yourself in another war
AC4 story in a nutshell part 2.
1. After doing mission for a bunch of different fattersons, One of the top faterson, GA, hires you to do something for them eliminate a sub group of their who are leaving, so you help them leave, THROUGH DEATH!
2. But you you soon learn that fatterson don't like each other and that Akva vit, a small fatterson, BUT is back up by the the No 1. Fatty of the time Rayelnard, and the little sub GA you destroyed was friends with Akva vit, and so the WAR OF FAT begins.
@Tanshiniza Actually, it was Omer I believe. Omer was holding Aspina hostage, and wanted to elimate Joshua O'Brian and the player. Hence, why when you play on Hard mode on this mission, Celo comes to try and kill you.
