I wrote (and started) 90% of the Zodiac biography on the wiki page, so it puts a smile on my face that you're reading and saying most of what i described about the Zodiacs.
How clever of an emblem Aquarius has. A skull-shaped vase. I never managed to play ACV or Verdict Day myself so I appreciate that you've provided all those neat little details for us to see. :]
Loving the ACV content especially making coherent sense of the main story. Also, 27 days until you go dark in the fire of Rubicon, I can't wait to see what you pull from the ashes.
Alright, a little titbits and what I've researched -No.1 Capricornus is refers Wildcat and Killdozer, they’re all killing machine -No.2 Aquarius is very interesting characters and my favorite. His AC head looks like a fish, very fitting for his AC name. Also, you could shot down Angie and he would retreat after that -No.3 Pisces and No.10 Libra had similar dialogue when you defeated them in different order -No.3 Pisces is one of the most like characters in JP community, also his laughs is glorious in JP voice -No.6 Gemini had 2 ACs for some reason but his name gave us some explanation Gemini is a name of Babylonian great twins represented two minors god which born from different families *My theory* No.6 was an early attempt to experiment and copy pilots consciousness and made AI out of him that later became one of the key factors for later events in Verdict day -No.7 Cancer in EN voice he said “Damn. This place is swarming with enemies! Who the hell are you?” while in JP he said “Damn! This place is full of weak enemies! How strong are you!” -Remember Fragile from ACFA? he’s talked like robots, and who else talked like robots? No.2 and No.12 Sagittaruis of course! There are theory in JP community that said Human+ and Designed are reverse engineered AMS system but both go into extreme levels than AC4/FA -Why parts in ACV had very wierd name? Because they’re all named after cities and mythology gods/figures And great video as always! I'll provide more titbits and informations from JP side in the future!
actually about cancers translation: they're technically as accurate as it can get. HOWEVER: the translation between eng cancer and Jap cancer can be depicted differently in the ENG Cancer version, he has an Australian accent, with a thuggish attitude. in the Jap Cancer version, he speaks Yakuza dialect, slang-heavy and ultra-masculine. the translation though is a little messy because Jap Cancer used Heavy Slangs. which could either mean "****! This place is full of ***cks! Who the **** are you? "Damnit! This place is crawling with insects!" Who is this fool?" and finally "Damn! this place is swarmin with enemies! Who the hell are you?"
@@armoredcorelore I am almost done finishing V's campaign and I swear I'm paying attention, but I cannot make up mostly anything of what's happening!!! Is this a skill issue on my end or an excuse to watch more ACL?
26 days to go, can you all feel in my fellow Ravens? Thanks again for the indepth videos about these lesser known advasaries, all too often do they take a backseat to the rest of the mess. Chances are the new game will be more plot/character driven. I dunno why I am bringing this up but I am kind of sad that the giant MT tank wasn't AC parts because I thought that design was pretty cool. I am curious to see what this game will do with tank legs in the new title!
The race against time! Ha ha thank you it certain is fun to poke into the factions of these games and i have to agree AC6 certainly seems to be quite the lore dive. Tank legs have always been a fav of mine (As you can see from me rolling around in v with them to kill zodiacs) So I'd like to see how the legs work with the jump pad and all the boosting we have seen.
@@armoredcorelore it's long range fighter with it's main goal hitting accurately with it's Karasawa. Set to make sure it only fires it on full charge and only if it can guarantee the hit. Once that's out it has a second setting to change it's fighting style and moves into medium long range to hit a bit more accurate with it's high power rifle.
Always happy to hear the videos are helpful and oh trust me i am. I so far have managed to avoid watching every video about what people saw at the event and only kept to the trailers from BN, because i don't want to be spoiled too much when i get to sit down and play it myself.
Well all i have to go off is the translations of the pages which reads A commander-type Designed created to oversee all members of Zodiac. She is commonly called "Angie" by the members. In addition to being a commander, she also served as a manager who responded to the needs of the members. Since her operational purpose did not require physical abilities, it was strengthened in a different direction from the other members, and from the beginning, it was not considered to retain its physical elements. Human-like thinking was also eliminated as unnecessary for combat, and she can only respond mechanically to questions from the members. In order to operate the many Zodiacs simultaneously, the hardware that serves as her body is mounted on a large helicopter that operates each Zodiac.
@@armoredcoreloreme being an Aquarius XD oh boi gonna fish some people also fun fact the Aquarius build its what exacly I would have built the game devs truly read my mind
This video and the work of cataloging AC lore is important, but oh man does every new thing I learn about V/VD make me glad I didn't bother with them. Designs look terrible and the Dark Raven storyline just strikes me as a worse and goofier version of story beats done better in past Ac games.
Thank you and that is fair if V/VD is not your cup of tea. The AC series of games offers quite a choice of play styles and stories to players so i think we're quite lucky really as there is an ac for everyone.
@@armoredcorelore True, and you're right. I'm probably just being whiny because it was the only one that was so utterly and completely *not* for me after having experienced 4/4A, which seemed like the perfection of the series. Thankfully, VI is shaping up to render any such feelings moot.
Well i will try my best to be the guy. Mind you there is nothing wrong with Vaati, he's a good content creator and i hope if he does cover the series that he'll use some of his earnings to translate the Japanese only books for this game which we may get.
I wrote (and started) 90% of the Zodiac biography on the wiki page, so it puts a smile on my face that you're reading and saying most of what i described about the Zodiacs.
Thx for your amazong job reven. 🙏
Sweet then we can say then that the information from the book the fact and the wiki information are spot on.
what a legend!
Thank you for your service!!!🫡

Thank you for your kind words and they are quite the interesting bunch. Well some of them.
Loving the ACV content especially making coherent sense of the main story.
Also, 27 days until you go dark in the fire of Rubicon, I can't wait to see what you pull from the ashes.
Thank you and it will. I shall see what this new world hides in its darkness.
The Zodiac gang was a whole second story. Loved discovering and fighting all of them on my own back in the day.
It certainly was and with all this lore too. Mind you i do hate number 5 i lost so many times to him.
Can't wait to see Zodiac builds on AC 6
Mine is gonna be nightfall from the trailer except it’s going to be blue and white like mei from overwatch
Me either i think with the talent we have in the ac community. They are going to be art themselves.

Awesome post! The Zodiacs really were an interesting group.
Thanks Shok, they certainly where. Mind you some where more interesting then the others i admit.
So the Zodiac pilots are manufactured high level PvP players? Damn.
That's one way to look at it ha ha.
@@armoredcorelore I am almost done finishing V's campaign and I swear I'm paying attention, but I cannot make up mostly anything of what's happening!!!
Is this a skill issue on my end or an excuse to watch more ACL?
@@SilverGlint Ha ha well i wont say no to someone watching more of my videos.
Just to let you know champ, you're going to be my Bible now that i'm getting into Armored Core. VI is my first AC game and i'm here for it
Thank you for your kind words. Always happy to meet a fellow raven and i hope to see you in ac6.
Nice work on the Zodiacs man
Thank you.

I made a unac in Verdict Day based on #2 and its a beast.
Oh might have to do the same for my VD playthrough. Sounds like a good helper.

I appreciate the roll you’ve been on with AC5 content so far. I’m learning a lot.
Though I wonder if you’re as hyped about AC6 as everyone else?

also, congrats on 10k subs!
Thanks FirstRaven =)
this channel is about to explode
Ha ha well if it helps people to get into ac6, I am all for it.
Sagittarius looks like my cup of tea :D
It is quite the AC to pilot.
Armored Core Lore reaper squad
If its no already on my to do list, i will add it.
I thought Zodiac were Designed, and that Angie was a knockoff Phantasma Being.
She was the first Phantasma Being
@@zorain2354 Not really.
Phantasma Beings are people, but digital.
Angie was just an AI.
Well all i have to go off is the translations of the pages which reads
A commander-type Designed created to oversee all members of Zodiac. She is commonly called "Angie" by the members. In addition to being a commander, she also served as a manager who responded to the needs of the members. Since her operational purpose did not require physical abilities, it was strengthened in a different direction from the other members, and from the beginning, it was not considered to retain its physical elements.

In order to operate the many Zodiacs simultaneously, the hardware that serves as her body is mounted on a large helicopter that operates each Zodiac.
@@armoredcorelore So a Phantasma Being without all the human elements.
@@AnatoliasAce3341 You say phantasma being i say designed.
"the belkan war shrouded in mystery" i heard that
Good game that ace combat.
welp. off to replicate Cancer's AC. gotta represent my stars
I already built Libra so I'm covered i think.
@@armoredcoreloreme being an Aquarius XD oh boi gonna fish some people also fun fact the Aquarius build its what exacly I would have built the game devs truly read my mind
Could you do an episode on pilots of the amores cores. Like how do they pilot the thing or do you need enhancements to pilot it?
I can, I'll put it down on my to do list as I'm trying to do a few more videos before ac6 comes out.
Great vid,btw will you manage to post verdic day before rubicon came out?
Thank you very much and that is the goal. Along with one more video too.
could i ask for timestamps on descriptions of each zodiac member?
You can. I am at my computer now and i shall make haste to get them done.

Plese God i want you to take off as the AC lore guy. Im sp tired of Vaati and his drones talking about his "calming and soothing" voice
Well i will try my best to be the guy. Mind you there is nothing wrong with Vaati, he's a good content creator and i hope if he does cover the series that he'll use some of his earnings to translate the Japanese only books for this game which we may get.
Do you only talk about V and VD? Literally the worst games that no one cares about
Guess you've never seen ACL's vids....
Just glance at the channel bro, its AC in general...
seriously, he's already covered every other generation. lay off man.
bro really came here to hate?
