Have to love how little faith From Soft's writers have in humanity when there are suicide weapons bringing about an extinction event and humans are still busy forming tribes and killing each other for global dominance.
in a way, it's realistic, if humanity gets too much power into their hands, they will use whatever weapon they can use to wipe out other humans just for the sake of global dominance, wars only for ideals, wars for money, wars for territory, wars for controlling one singular country billions of humans cannot cooperate with each other and the remaining few innocents are killed for proposing peacekeeping ideas like protecting mother nature for example.
@@emersedmilkk4163 No, I'm pretty sure it's exactly what he meant, as Last Raven is the culmination of the evolution of the original Armored Core games. 4 and FA were different to all previous entries, but still good, and 5 and VD are dogshit.
The original designer for the series mechs, when presenting the idea, called it an "armored core system," wherein the torso unit was the core piece, the center where the most important parts were housed, and it was covered in armor, with other pieces to give it more protection with arms and legs to let it move and fire back. He designed it with customization to be the primary focus, you design it the way you see fit. From liked the idea so much, that the name stuck, and the series would thus be named after the system the mechs are based upon - Armored Core.
I'll never quite understand why the green quaddie lost.. building it ingame, it's a perfectly-designed quad AC, with a railcannon and all, far more than enough to blast apart the biped if piloted by anyone with even a modicum of experience.
I think honestly the protag AC shown in the intro is better suited to win if for nothing else than having an open space to abuse flight and H+ shenanigans, like it does in the arena match in-game. The chosen map for that fight is limited and close range to prevent it from basically picking shots at you from mid range at high altitude with its hand rail gun.

The scene where you saw buildings were destroyed is the cause of nexus in the last mission where you killed nineball but failed to disable the weapons thing Idk I forgot it.
In Nexus, we fight a Nineball/Pulverizor Prototype, and the weapons you speak of (Aside from the Pulverizer) are Unmanned suicide Bombers. To me Nexus is my head canon ending of the series of the rest up until 4 are fever dreams /aes
"Raven" is legendary name, i miss that name so much but it ends here. Because the title of this game is "The Last Raven" means no one will call u "Raven" anymore in the next AC game :') (sorry i have bad english)
+Fadhilah Kun The funny thing is, in AC4, Joshua O Brien still refers to you as 'Raven", everything else after that game though, just a nameless character.
I remember one other character calls you a Raven. But everyone else either calls you a relic of the past (most likely because of Raven) or just call you a Mercenary.
I believe in the 4th gen, the title of raven was attributed to mercenary Normal AC pilots after the widespread use of Normals began, but before the close of the National Dismantlement War.
I remember armored core 1. Had the demo on my 12 demo disc. Played it hundreds of times before mowing lawns to buy it for myself. Have played every iteration since. I love the souls games but please from software. Please.
FromSoftware doesn't understand anything that isn't dark souls at this point.. Not even the series that initially put them on the map, hopefully this generation we see a new one.
@@tomofthedepths1742 Oh yeah you're right. Since he's a genobee ripoff. This ac look exactly like mollycoddle/genobee tho, but it has different weapon for some reason
@@mobiusZero2 I know the art crew probably weren't thinking in these terms, but the incredibly bulky shroud around the "barrel" could still serve as a massive radiator piece. Laser or gun, heat is still an issue, and the best solution to heat is increasing area without increasing volume - hence the huge, perforated shroud.
a little late to say this. but the pitlot of that AC is not Zinaida. It's BJ. these are non-story related pilots in the game. they serve as demonstrations, and reserved in side storys or Arena missions.

The intro is making the player remember the past armored core games and making them remember the events that happend and the ravens that died.
hey I saw you from buster comment section,well ac fan based is not that big....
Rip well I know that
I wish there will be an another Armored Core game like this...
*C'mon Fromsoftware*
What you meant to say was “I wish there will be another armored core game”.
@EKA SASTRO What?
Good news, reportedly a new Armored Core game is being developed.
Look upon how our faith has been rewarded

it's called an "Armored Core" for a reason.
@@deathserpent9747 dame was that really why its been called that since ps1 ?! Thats pretty cool.

Just like in Patlabor.
2:05 BJ activates the OB! Amazing!
Thats his booster its weird that bj use the tp booster in intro and in the game he use vulture2
Notice how Zinaida's drop-in entrance resembles the Armored Core from the PS1 game.
I wish there were more ruined urban environments in this game, like what we see in this intro.
I'd love to see AC6 use whatever destruction engine they used for Mechwarrior 5.
I love how For Answer had destructible environments... only for half of them to be deserts with hardly any buildings.
