The way one faction commissions you to destroy something and the other faction hiring you to get revenge after that is pretty funny. The way the game does this in chapter 1 is definitely intentional as world building, until a greater force/threat comes in and the factions just up and 'yeah this is more of a threat than each of us, let's get em'
It’s weirdly funny when you go back to a previous location you took for a Faction and get tasked to help ,kick said Faction out of that location.
I find it hilarious how in any other game the PCA would’ve been the main driving force for all of the factions to team up and prevail through friendship, but in this game its just “fuck these guys” for one chapter and then straight back to corporate warfare😂
"You fucked our shit up dude. But I don't think you're just some corp asshat. So go fuck them up back"
"K."
Love it
The scale of the man made structures in the game is insane. Structures that cover the sky. Massive walking machines that are dozens of kilometers high. Where did the humans of that world mine all that metal to build all that stuff?
bruh. where do you think metal comes from?
It's from space. The amount of metal you get from earth is insignificant compared to what exist out there. Space is filled with that stuff.
Ac6 was set after space travel was established. Metal worth is like dirt in comparison to actual rare material like Rubicon's Coral.
Did you forget about Arm forts?
Other planets, asteroids, all processed into resources by whatever corporation got there first by their legion of drones and robots
@@larrymunn5279 Uhh...Armored Core has always had massive structures that dwarf the player's AC. AC1 literally takes place in a massive underground city that absolutely dwarf the player's AC. to the point it has a fake sky. Same with AC3, and AC4 had arms forts that were massive even larger than the Strider. Look at the scale of any indoors level across the entire series, so Im not sure what you are taking about about ACs being bigger fish. Hell most MTs are taller or larger than ACs even if they aren't a match in performance.
I'd almost say the grids in AC6 were them trying to make a similar city structure in that region to AC's 1.
From Charles Entertainment Cheese
Balam reminds me or regular Army infantry cliches, or maybe tankers, very loud and brash but fun; and Arquebus reminds me of Army Green Berets, much more cool and collected but also sort of scary and maybe a little crazy. Props to Balam for brining bullets to a laser fight, but that was never gonna end well. Plus Schneider and Arquebus Advanced Division have the best mobility gear.
Does siding with Balam/redguns or Arguebus/Vespers have any different gear/weapons unlocks? I like the redguns personally but im almost entirely a Aquebus/Sneider build lol
@@aquamayne8168nah not really
@@aquamayne8168a handful of hidden parts in some missions, but nothing you're locked out permanently, if you really want them you can always go into new game plus
Balam: Keep your fancy tech we got a pointy stick!
I really like the implication of the PCA in this game. They draw a parallel to the LCC in AC2 (if I remember correctly) forces, which had come to mars, as Earth’s liaison to take control of the planet from the corporations. In AC2 they didn’t have much power until they got their own AC pilots. PCA already clearly seems like a massive threat just from their fleet alone. Great Video as usual!
I definitely got a frighteners vibe from the PCA's HCs and LCs.
For all those struggling with the helicopter boss. Be aggressive. Use the sword. Stay close and underneath or behind him.
Lol, for those struggling on Helly boss, ya'll have an awakening coming when you meet Ayre
Took me 5 tries. Been playing Remnant 2 a lot, and had trouble switching to the.more aggressive and mobile play style AC6 requires.
My advice would be to avoid.using assault boost head on, because it'll fire those rocket launchers on its bottom and pretty much instantly stun you. That, or dodge as.soon as you.see them fire. Also, you can use the buildings for cover briefly to make it close some distance.
Wait till you guys meet the one on new game ++ 😂. Third ending.
You can use the missile pod and right arm gun for some brief stagger but ultimately it's the sword for meaningful damage. I got lucky in one of my wins after my first successful clear with back to back sword strikes.
And good fucking luck for when you meet CEL-240
I was under the impression that when it said coral substitutions that it meant some other resource not as risky as coral since by then coral was thought to be lost
That is what I think is meant as well, but I'm still early in the story. If the supply was cut off and the augmentations relied on coral, swapping to some substitute would have been a priority. Plus, Coral isn't cheap and a substitute might appeal for cost reasons.
Also, looking at it now in the opening sequence as you enter rubicon's atmosphere as 621 wakes up it announces its activating the "cerebral coral control device"
@@Sorain1it also ends up being safer since the later gens have less chance of brain damage and who knows what else and can actually function outside of they ac
It's fascinating to me that the successive generations of enhancement were so focused on maintaining the humanity of the subject, rather than increased combat effectiveness. Not what one would expect from corporations... but then, humans are much easier to manipulate than a near emotionless biological cpu, and less likely to do something with major PR problems. Yet still, the idea that, based on Sulla's behavior, they started with pushing for less humanity and more combat performance, only to double back is unusual in fiction. (To be fair, Coral opened up new tech paths, so that might be a major factor.) Still, that there are ten generations of enhancement suggests either jaw-droppingly fast development rate, or that 621 was pulled from some kind of stasis.
Edit: Also, I'm not sure if the wording on gen 7-8 augmentations meant 'Coral substitutes for something' or 'something to substitute for using Coral'.
Yeah I was under the impression that the newer augmentation is using some tech to *replace* the use of coral. Seeing as how coral was more of a thing of the past before the fires of ibis event, and we're on rubicon to find more of it again.
Definitely using a different material then coral less chance of issues although with some of the arena lore it implies gen 8-10 doesn't have that many differences and kind of reached the peak without coral
Ngl i am liking the Rubicon Federation Front and Balam. I am at NG++ so far loving it.
It’s so good! Are there any new changes in ++ from +?
@@karanmastermusic545 Very much so, each new game has its own ending but you'll only get the TRUE ending when you NG++ new missions will pop up. Ordinary missions that you already done past playthrough but then thing wont be the same as its related to the story. I highly recommend to NG++ it. It won't take that long unlike first playthrough.
I like ARQUEBUS because of their design and they seem the most evil corporation if you compare them to BALAM
Also the Liberation Front is very cool too
The story can be summarized by saying it is a combination of Final Fantasy 7, Dune and Project Hail Mary by Andy Wier all rolled into one. There is even a log you can find where the founder of the resistance is "imbibing" Coral.
I finished the whole game in like a day😅 but it was the story and combat that made me keep coming back to play and now I want more and for the story to continue
now maybe try to get all the S rank
No you need to finish the campaign 3 times to complete the true ending and fight the mystery? Faction
@@theazurian2778ng++ has definitely had some cool new missions thrown in the mix. Since ng+ was just some mission variation due to making different decisions I did not see the huge changes coming at all!
Unfortunately real life calls so that playthrough will have to wait till the weekend.
You beat it in a day? How many missions/chapters are there?
@@kevinburke1325 59 missions total
I’m with the RaD! “Cinder” Carla and the Dozers of Grid 086 are totally my type of faction!
Excellent video, anwsered all my questions! I really like how you had the Bar at the bottom for Aquebus-Sneider-Vespers. Making a personal note: Balam-DaFeng-Red Guns
I wonder if they are gonna give us pca parts at some point. The pca mechs are so sick. They have unique melee weapons like a shield bash and a sword that grabs you and does extra damage.
Will you be doing a more in depth with spoiler lore video? This is only the second time I’ve watched one of your videos and I really like the format of them, I’ve just beat the game for a second time and now have both endings and I’m reading all of the stuff I’ve collected in my archive along with the arena bios. There is a lot of lore to uncover and I’m having fun with it, I’d love to see you do some in depth lore stuff, also I’m gonna start watching all your vids now your really good at explaining stuff :)
This helped alot your videos always do
One things for sure AC6 has satated my desire for Metal Gear style story
Satisfied for now… but the phantom pain still persists
I love the Arena, it’s such a good way to get one on one time with some really cool characters, and you get a lot of lore on them
finished the game 4 times i trust walter completely
Such good info, thanks!
Thanks Dom, suitably enticed
Thanks for the video. I really wanted to know what was the Planetary Closure Administration
Very interesting video about the factions!
Didn’t know I was subbed to this channel already. Good channel.
This was actually really helpful and well made content, thanks for this. I'm with the Rubiconians personally.
thanks. Finished my first playthrough, absolutely clueless about the story when the credits rolled lmao
I’d say one of my favorites in this game has to be RaD, solely because i love type of factions that have the scavenger/scrap aesthetics
Nah Walter is best character 😢
No spoilers but he said =€×𥙥°©
And that changed my minds about him lol
Especially other endings
Finally a video that can help explain the lore, WITHOUT Spoilers!!!! Thank you!!!
Also, so far enjoying the game!!!
2 pulse rifles (not guns) and 2 plasma missile launchers rock this boss. I actually had an easy time with this boss with it (2nd try).
A coworker was stuck on this boss for 2 days and told them to try it and they killed it right away after as well.
Which boss?
Balteus, seems for some reason this post got put on the wrong video. Probably because I was commenting from phone while watching on tv
@@AdhalMK1 gotcha thanks
I took in 2 plasma rifles, 2 laser cannons, tank treads, the German arms, and as much armor as I could and it worked wonders
If your looking for a game to play while you wait I would definitely recommend ghost of tsushima
It's interesting seeing this video now after the game has come out, seeing how much effort from software put into the demo and obfuscating certain things.
I love your intro so nice
Balam reminds me of a clan I was in once upon a time.
I really like RAD. They feel like such industrial underdogs. All their mechs are super unique, lookin like someone went to an industrial jusk yard n made a bunch of mechs out of any old microwaves n toasters they could find. But they are all so cool. Each RAD mech/enemy/character feels and looks and fights so different than all the others. The major corps, all kinda look super samey, if that makes sense. I used to like Arquebus, untill they became a bunch of fuckin fucks. The next main corp I liked was Balam, untill they also became a bunch of fucks.
RaD and Balaam are my favorites.
I hate balam. But RaD is my absolute favorite. Because they're all fucking nuts
Hey when r u gonaa make a full story explanation?
Boom
Wow I love Rusty so cool oh looks like he was taken down by an orbital laser sat oh well😂😂
You call them Dozers in the video but im p sure its meant to be Dosers as they are dosing on coral like a drug.
Yeah, but Carla pronounces it like "dozers" too. It annoys me to no end.
@@pseudonym5872Sounds like dosers to me
@@pokelogikx I'm glad it sounds right to you, but it doesn't to me. Every single time she says it, it's wrong. But whatever - you hear what you hear and I hear what I hear. It's not worth further discussion.
@@pseudonym5872 aight?
Rusty is a bro, my favorite character.
You say you're not far into the game so you're only speculating about Walter, but you have unlocked some Arena fights that require you to be at least in chapter 3.. Am I missing something here? :P
I am with the RLF on this one.
The Coral must flow.
When is the actual release date? Cos I get paid on the 29th.
It's already out.
@@mb2001 oh right I thought maybe youtubers just had early access, cos I watched vaati and he could only show parts of a few missions. But I can’t wait till tuesday then lol
@@pavelowpower....it's already out😂
25.08.2023
My favorite is the redguns
Good stuff.
Meanwhile I'm nearly 20 hours in still trying to make It through playthrough 1 lol
Me too. I was stuck on Balteus for a long while. Now I'm stuck on the Sea Spider. It sucks because these aren't even the difficult bosses - it only gets worse from here.
@@pseudonym5872 eh I'd say they are difficult just in their own way I'm excited to see what the last half has in store for me already been some crazy stuff
Which ever faction pays the most is my favourite faction, parts be expensive
im a PCA fan however rusty really makes me question
There are shoulders that will look even better. I'll tell you which one is the best.
Ayre is my fav
Overseer Arsonists go brrrrr
I like RaD. Carla calling me a Tourist while launching the Street Cleaner at me. Mmm...
I can't even get pass the helicopter boss
Carla is so cool
Balam, all the fun with non of the self righteous bs of the other Factions.
They were fun to interact with. shame we don't get to do more missions with them given what happens in the final chapters.
@@rueceless7580 yeah
It seems the VA in Armored Core 6 same with Ace Combat 7
do i understand it correctly: Humans "transformed" to Robots/Gundams ?
No. Humans are still human. AC pilots are humans that are augmented so they can control the ACs. I'm assuming there's some sort of interface that allows us to "plug into" the AC.
Little clarification on the above post, you don't NEED to be an augmented human to pilot an AC, just augmented humans pilot ACs far better as the augmentation allow them to connect to the machines directly and they became an extension of their bodies rather than just using standard controls.
To use a Gundam reference? The special control systems from Iron blooded Orphans would be a good comparison.
Okay but what is Coral exactly, material? energy? fuel? I dont get it and how did it allow humans to do all those amazing things
It's a very versatile substance that can be used in just about many things. Augmentations, electronics and communications, weapons, energy source, you name it. But in reality...
[SPOILER]

Coral is a sentient (and ESPECIALLY sapient) alien species that have esoteric abilities.
Only a few knows they're sentient, and they're being harvested en masse. Let the implications sink in.
Seems to me to be alive and a symbiotic microscopic organism that emits lots of energy. With (spoiler) being the only sentient coral.
@@Wilsontripplets in the story said it is data conduit.
But spoiler
They can store human consciousness like souls.
Ayre in the story is survivors of the fire of ibis. Her human body is destroyed by the planet explosion. But her consciousness still remains as a coral wave. Later you learn that there are millions, trillions of people that is still alive but as a coral form trying their hardest to call for help. But only one that noticed these people are. Rubicon libration front and Rusty. M
ost people see it as a nuclear weapons that will make humans more corrupt and abuse these powers.
There are some people see the future to use coral as a resource to help humans it is just not the right time yet. Some think it will bring corruption to humanity bring disaster to the human species.
And Rubiconian is the one that believes coral can store the human mind without having a physical body but live as coral waves and particles.
Itll expand on that later on in the story dont want to spoil it for anyone.
@@Wilsontripplets (spoiler) wasn't the only one it turns out. And the hidden ending path also hints at this.
What about Ayre the alien or voice in your face.
liberation front 1000%
So are there humans living on Rubicon? Where? I would have thought all of this carnage would wipe them out
I would think so, in the game you see many buildings that are people sized and lil forklifts.
You see where they’d be in most of the levels. Lots of houses, buildings, vehicles, etc. They’re just not around while the ACs are deployed. I was actually a little annoyed by this. It would have been so fun if people were running around while you were fighting.
"Cinders" are a term for human settlers who survived the Fires of Ibis half a century prior to the start of the game. How they did? Not directly mentioned, a lot of the grids seem to be support structures for a planned larger thing maybe they were making a mega city like the ones in AC1 and 3 and people inside them managed to avoid being cooked by the cataclysm?
I for one welcome our chinese overlord in Dafeng 😂
Hey buddy
The guy who use slave clones to pilot mecas a good guy?????... What?
The only faction that i care about is the money, redguns are pretty annoying, the only vesper that I like was Rusty and Carla scares me. Ayre is nice, I guess, but im with Walter on this.
Eh. I like scary women
OK, but what is the story about?
Transhumanism
which ever rusty was in
Where’s the video with spoilers we already finished the game
Rusty is the only faction buddy
Rusty is a real homie
Spoiler for the mission with Volta and Iguazu, and for Rusty, best bro
In new game plus, you get the option to shit em in the back, literally. For double the pay, dunno the later consequences, but why not.
For Rusty, depending on your picks, the final mission is with him going against Arquebus and fighting alongside you to liberate Rubicon.
So wait of we gen 4 how are we alive and why don't we suck?
We don't really know when 4th gen augmentation came to be post Fires of Ibis, Sulla was first gen and from the era of the cataclysm and we know from in game that it was half a century ago since it happened. I'm assuming either 4th gen isn't that long ago and they just rapidly improved the tech over a short period or there's some use of cryo stasis tech to extend the pilot's lives when they aren't on missions?
@@rueceless7580one of the independent mercenaries in the defend the dam mission says that a gen four pilot belongs in the museum, not the battlefield. I personally find the explanation that 621 was frozen for a long time the most logical.
RLF all the way since their the weakest and are getting attacked on all fronts by basically every other faction on the planet.
bruh I downloaded this game and I legit can't even bring myself to launch it looks boring why did I buy it
Coral is a drug
Goty
