'Course the true ending ends up being just like Project Wingman. Can't be a proper ending without putting that malding little shit into the ground for good
If we go by joke answers, the Good ending would be: Proud Zombie Daddy. But yeah, the "bad ending" had a sad boss fight too. Particle girl wasnt just angry, she was heartbroken.
Yeah honestly I was sad after both the good and bad ending's final bosses but in the true ending I was glad I got to kick Iguazu's little bitch self again and I didn't even feel sorry for him during his final words
Something I didn’t realize until now, after playing through all three routes, is that ALLMIND's final form appears as a combination of Walter and Ayre's mechs in their boss fights. This can especially be seen with the head unit
From what I gathered and understood Ending 1: Wiped Rubicon and possibly the entire system off the face of the galaxy. Without coral, the PCA and the corporations are forced make to a peace agreement bringing the entire conflict to an end. Ending 2: Raven and Ayre became guardians of Rubicon while leaving the future of coral and humanity to decide another future. Ending 3: Ayre's dreams have been fully realized. Human-coral symbiosis is fully achieved while Raven, now a human-coral hybrid, is rescued then transported to either a new dimension or timeline where from what I read from other comments, became a possible prequel to the entire AC series
Actually, third one is a big fat no. They just got scattered across the galaxy or maybe even the universe along with the coral flow, and now pops up on another planet
They cut the end of the cut scene of ending 3 where it cuts to black and she says "Main System: Activating combat mode" altering the entire cutscene. The coral used you to spread it across the galaxy / universe so it could take it over.
People hate on the "bad ending" to much, coral is the whole reason all these corps are fighting, and who's to say walter is wrong? Can humanity truly poses something so powerful?
Fair argument, but I would ask if it is really "OK" to straight up commit genocide on the Coral just because humanity cannot handle its own inherent desires for power and control over the coral. It's not like the Coral asked to be used for developing and fueling weapons like what the Institute did. Imagine if aliens came down to Earth and started to wipe us out because we have developed nuclear weapons and that makes us too dangerous to be kept around. A pragmatic position, perhaps. But I would say it's morally questionable.
@@jupitergaming5146in the process of saving everyone else , in the so called good ending you can't even be sure the coral won't just spill over the whole galaxy and killing everyone else , to me both of them are neutral neither good or bad
The True ending literally goes HUMAN+, Man and Machine melded together seamlessly with Coral connected like a hivemind. its like the terminator but with actual human beings behind the wheel instead of a homicidal Artificial Intelligence
@@lilramennoodle8056 my god, I want to write a responce but ended with a novel, don't do that.. I starting to think about it in first playtrough when Walter start to say "us" and "ours". To familiarly for old handler and simple hound
Fighting ayre is hard not just because of her difficulty but her all but begging you to stop fighting her and killing her family. You can hear her heart break with every blow you trade
I feel, in most other games Walter would be the main character, trying to stop the side character turned main villain (Raven in this case) to protect his friends, to protect humanity from the Coral. But he still respects Raven so its hard for him to stop him just by himself. But in a From Soft game, Raven would absolutely be the main character.
Really? The man is trying to commit genocide out of fear. Even if you ignore that the coral is a sapient species, he still wants to kill everyone on the planet and many in the solar system because he and the organization he works for finds the coral convergence scary. I find he fits pretty well as a bad guy in most games.
@@lordsoybo6727 For Walter perspective it make sense. He think coral as resources he don't see them as a human being hell no one see see coral that way except for the rubicon liberation front and Rusty. You can notice in the boss fight with Walter he tries to shoot you but because of force augmentation with coral that Arquebes put into him he can now see ayre. So he stop trying to shoot him, telling the player to get all of his credit and undone the augmengation and live a free peaceful life and die from the crush. Walter see coral as nuclear tech that will bring human disaster and destruction for all the planets. That is why he wants the coral to disappear from this wall so no one can use it as a weapon. You can see that when playing the story. Some used as a drug, some use as materials for augmentation, sea spider and ice worm boss you can see they used coral as weapons and in the worm fight the AC pilots said coral will pollute the surrounding environment when they use it. So there are a lot of good reasons to kill the coral. And coral is not alive coral is complex resources that complex enough to store someone whose consciousness people like Arye are not coral they are survivors from the fire of ibis happen to be alive and coral burn their body but most of their soul, consciousness is stil inside the corals.
@@ayeaung3527 Just curious, what do you think is the true bad or good ending? And what about the "True Ending" ? Like you said, Walter has a very logical, if not very human reaction to the coral. In his eyes he is trying to destroy something he considers much more dangerous in the bigger picture.
@@ActuallyGuliBulli I think the true ending is the third ending because it is what 621 actually did himself not what the player wanted to do. The first two ending were kind of a meta give the player the option to pick between two evils of kill the coral before it becomes a threat to humanity and believe humanity can coexist with coral despite the risks/conflict. The third play through from a player perspective (from mine when I played it) didn't seem to make any sense because I was thinking why I would ever want to do this. That was when I realized it wasn't from my perspective or choice but the choices that 621 actually made. I agree with the theory that 621 is an experimentally revived 617 by Walter. 621 hates Walter for sacrificing him and his crew, and then also making him into what ever 621 is now. He also hates the corps because they killed him and his crew, plus they've probably fought quite a lot while he was 617. In short 621 hates everyone on Rubicon, so he renounces his humanity and sides with the coral.
@lordsoybo6727 Not really. Even the Rubiconain original people thought of it only as a resource. Then they studied it and thought it could burn eveything.
1 (Bad ending?): Let's burn the galaxy... 2 (Good ending?): Let's the galaxy live to see another day... for the moment... 3 (True ending): TRANSFORMEEEEEEEERS!!! Let's the galaxy became "big robots with human minds"!!! (... and probably start, later, a war between evil and good machines...)
I still love the fact that I fought Ayre first, in my opinion the hardest of the final bosses. it kinda made the others feel really easy especially Walter he just kinda got obliterated
just dual akimbo javelin with dual needle canon. not a big deal. actually spider sea along with cleaner and juggernaut is overwhelming how massive they are. dont forget worm too, single needle was too much grind. dual better and farmed alot coams
I thought Allmind was the hardest. Then again I've watched people fight Ayre and get him by moves that I dodged and those did pretty insane damage so maybe I just got lucky
Again... Fromsoft choose of words and phrases are always strong and solid, No matter is that souls games or sekiro, the narator/character dialogues line are always solid.
Jesus christ, all those battles and mech designs were amazing for each final boss. You dont even need to know what endings are what, they all felt satisfactory
There's no real bad ending. Each characters had a goal, a dream, a duty. Something they cherished that needed to be protected. The only thing that matters is the choice you make to keep up your promises. And the consequences that come with it.
Not really. The other entries are self-contained. The wormhole-looking thingy sent the Coral all throughout the galaxy (if not the universe), while C4-621 and other Augmented Humans got swept along to the ride and were sent to another planet.
@@gargarmikejaphett.3840 what if ... this Coral Wormhole is the "Time Paradox", which leads to Great Destruction, AC and non-pilot version as "ancient relic", upgraded Red Nine Balls without Inguazu?
I got the "bad" ending but it had some of the most fun fights and it kinda fits 621 being independent and thinking he can defend the coral and Ayre. Reality is tho he will eventually die and the cycle continues but happy I went w the ending I did
Excuses just to feel better lol The other ending is obviously the better one Plus it had an amazing boss fight. Betraying Carla and Walter, while working alongside our buddy Rusty had a lot more symbolism Fits a lot more with our Raven
@@parkout95 you described your whole comment in your first line, it's amazing how blind people are to their ignorance while talking about "symbolism" in games and making.others feel bad about it lol.
24:15 "Hey Guys, -its me Max0r- and today we’re fighting against… *Crimson 1* *I-It’s just Crimson 1* _Laughing Crazy_ “I-wha W-why is H-he all the way out here?!!1 How did he follow me? Is he still malding!? “ _Loses sanity_ Gotta mod in Solo Wing Pixy to talk shit at him "
betraying ayre will be the one achievement i won't be getting, i guess. fighting alongside rusty , everyone looking at raven with a mix of fear and reverence, a good farewell to walter with a great battle. liberator of rubicon is the superior ending between the first two, imo.
Imo saving the coral is the bad ending. Eventually raven is going to die and the corporations will just come back and restart it again. Carla risked her life to save me from what's basically a concentration camp. Walter is too much of a bro. It's good writing when we can disagree on this.
@@duckchen2676 i mean, carla sets the whole system on fire. Raven "vanished among the flames, never to be heardfrom again." billions dead, including Raven. a whole species, the coral, extinct. Plus between Ayre and Walter's fights, I find Walter's to be better due to the pride he shows in Raven making his own choices and finding friends. And it's not like Raven and the Rubiconians are just gonna sit there and do nothing while the corps recuperate. But yes, it is a sign of compelling writing when players can have discussions like this. It's also a testament to the performances to convey a lot of personality without faces.
@@bottomlefto agree to disagree, as that ending requires me to betray walters legacy and carla who's helped a ton as well. I like them both far too much to betray them (for me at least I ended up feeling more loyalty to them than ayre) and I'm down to burn it all to be rid of it once and for all instead of just... saving the coral with no plan in mind and it's probably gonna just go to shit again lol
@@SPONGCHAO Carla seemed to only really help you because you'd be useful to her. Walter and Ayre actually seem to care about 621. I think in the liberator ending Walter at the end isn't betrayed because he realizes there might be another way forwards (at least the way I interpreted it). I think he deliberately comments on 621 having a "friend" because he can see that the coral is sentient and may believe that 621 has a plan in mind since he is friends with Ayre. That's why he lowers his weapon at the end, because although he disagrees with us, he may see the potential in our method (compared to the Allmind ending where we are just doing exactly the opposite of what he wants).
..The one reason I got this ending was as a stepping stone to the true ending. Even if she didn't bring the pain like she did, getting the bad endign hurt.
Given the sheer amount of mods the Souls games got, wouldn't be surprised AC6 gets mods too. Would love to see one that allowed you to ride a Balteus with your AC and shred stuff with the missiles.
@@bottomleftothe basics is very good. it allow ton on creativity, tons of designers make realism decals and has gundam look like. and some Bijou vtuber Simps made Decals like her face, emblem etc. importing image would remove the effort and need ton of coding to make it forza looklike with album things
@@roko98332r "basics" would be allowing the player to draw with the mouse/graphic tablet or as I said, import . Game is great but let's not pretend that the image editor is anything but needlessly tedious. Yeah they made a biboo face. You tell me how long it probably took to make.
I like how it toys with the player you can either kill the voice in your head and murder millions of rubiconians, kill your handler which i actually got close to, or create sentient robots that may or may not try to wipe out humanity
Honestly, I don't think the Fire of Raven is a bad ending. I mean, look at it like this, you bring an end to war on Rubicon as the thing the corps were after is gone. And it's a Fromsoft game and their moral ambious nature.
I can't figure out which one is considered a good ending and a bad one? For me, they're all bad, I was sorry to kill Walter, Aira and Allmind 🥺😭 After all, the Rubicon suffers in all 3 cases anyway, and given that the so-called coral fusion will harm everyone, it turns out that the ending where we kill Aira is not the worst 🤔
The bad ending is the good ending I already know what coral capable of in the two other endings don't get me wrong I love my coral gf but you gotta do what you gotta do
their really isn't. This is FromSoft we are talking about here. Their endings are always either bittersweet or left up to interpretation. Fires of Raven Ending obviously involves a lot of unintended genocide and destruction as well as giving up your chance at buying back your life, but you fulfill the wishes of Walter who has stuck by you this whole time, and prevented the Coral from causing a greater catastrophe later and bring an end to the corporate/PCA bloodshed. Liberator of Rubicon has to have you stab some close allies in the back, but it involves the least bloodshed, with the sentient Coral and all the humans on Rubicon still alive to choose a future for themselves. However we don't really know much of what happens to the corporate presence on Rubicon following the end and its doubtful that Balam and Arquebus were the only two with their eyes on the Coral, so Rubicon's troubles will hardly be over, and we still may get the "Fires of Raven" anyways here, though now we have Ayre herself to provide insider knowledge on the Coral. Meanwhile with the true ending, well you melded human and coral and machine and may have averted the worst of the two other endings, but most people didn't get a choice in this fusion, and we don't really know the consequences or what comes next from this development.
my jaw dropped when i saw those two sea spiders on the first try it took me solid 3 hours to beat just one eventually it just took one try when i had my good build and in that boss fight they were rather non factor when defeating the last boss
One of the things FromSoftware is good at is ambiguous storytelling There is no real “good or bad” ending, it’s a matter of morals and prospective in a way. Is destroying a planet and possibly the system really is the best way to end a war? Or is becoming a human-coral hybrid is not as bad as one might think? That’s for you to decide
Jesus christ that was my same build for every boss. The double shotgun double nightsong too good. I beat the true ending boss in under 1 or 2 minutes with it rofl.
Armored Core 1 Nine Ball: "Those who wield too much power. Those who only bring chaos. They are simply not part of the program." Armored Core 6 AllMind: "You are aberrations to the plan. Irregulars. We will bring order to chaos."
So. Ive played through 6 times now and I truly feel like there is some type of groundhog day effect taking place for NG+/++. Especially with what Ayre says to you after the Liberator ending. "Thank you for taking on my selfish mission. Now I want to see what you choose." As if she were personally sending you back.
If I remember this correct, when you unlock multiplayer, Ayre said, that she found some unused element, inside code of ALLMIND, called "Nest". So, it most likely, that ALLMIND is updated version of 9B aka Raven's Nest AI.
@@MihailK-xz4dwid like to think that after AC3 9B just.... mutated, it became bitter and wanted to destroy the human race as the corporation and now is trying to rebuild its world with the convergence
Fire's of Raven: Follow through with killing the Coral Liberator of Rubicon: Push past your fellow peers to save the Coral from the Corps, RaD, and Walter(Sadge). AI/Iguana man: Become the monster everyone fears.
When Iguazu first appeared, my mind literally went _"featuring Kai Leng from the Mass Effect series"_ And then *Alea Iacta Est* happened. The joke wrote itself.
@@strider117aldo9 no i meant his first message to you, after you finish the dam mission. I had just finished watching Woolievs playthrough of ME. Then the third ending comes along, and suddenly the comparisons to a certain character from Project Wingman (which Max0r covered), started to form.
29:08 That line delivery sent a pang through my heart when i beat this game. ALL MIND says "humanity" like she's deeply hurt and in despair. She's supposed to be an emotionless AI which makes the clear emotion in that line hit 100 times harder.
Do you need to get the bad ending and good ending before getting the true ending? Or can you just finish the game 2 times(Regardless of ending) then you can get the true ending?
So this time, the developer was originally doing Extreme VS? ? Because the characteristic of Extreme VS is that after each game, there will be a score The front is all optional body fights, the only difference is the last level A level B level C level will have different special kings D started as a giant body with little difficulty
Anyone else wondering about ending im hoping it doesn’t need to do anything with older armored cores and simply the black hole spreader them around the galaxy but doesn’t explained what is the MACHINE RINGS FLOATING IN SKY unless they landed on water back on rubicon 3 and looking at the rings that had satellite weapons ? . I know lots of people saying different things but I remember in one pilot history mentioning about the war on mars …… meaning past earth and in still in another distant system ….which is odd because armored core 2 took place in Mars .. but meaning or legacy of raven still existed and what happened to earth wasn’t mention …. I’m wondering if the story makes sense in a Macross story line …still want to know what or who put those towers there in verdict day…a person who was hurt or taken everything from the unstoppable lynx ????how many people got to leave earth before the Lynx killed eveything that got in his way …( assuming lets say they did destroy satellites or assault cells and combined with genocide ending) which would explain how people colonized mars and had a war with either the people who already left or barely leaving earth after verdit day …or earth completely died off ….. idk man they really need to write a book or at least explain …because I don’t want to think a loophole like terminator is what happened
I kinda see AC6 as a time loop for some reason. Kinda like in Edge of Tomorrow. 621 keeps going back to the beginning until the True Ending, where it all stops. I dunno, its a fun little headcanon.
These people saying that the Fires of Raven ending is morally grey. You know, the one where you commit mass genocide as an 'acceptable byproduct' of doing another genocide, killing everyone on Rubicon as a predicted consequence of attempting to murder an energy-based species that you *know* , by that point, is more complicated than the fears that Walter and Carla have inherited from Professor Nagai suggest. An attempt that, mind you, fails, because the coral wave persists over the ashes of a dead world. While the corporations jointly announce not to mess with Coral anymore, the corporations in Armored Core games (and, well, reality) are and will always be handsy with technology they really aught not to, and coral is just too potent a resource to go forever ignored. So you've killed everyone for ideally no effect. Outside of ideal circumstances, you may have made any future beyond a horrific war between humans and coral way less likely, depending on how much the event effects the coral flow. Truly wild.
@@georzonnaLook at the cutscene post-ignition at 6:42 The fire's spreading on the surface of Rubicon, but the coral in the atmosphere (or just outside it, since the atmosphere is probaby about to cease being there) is still there, flowing, and decidedly not on fire. Everyone on Rubicon is very dead, setting aside what probably happens to nearby star systems, considering that the Fires of Raven is supposed to be way more horrific than the Fires of Ibis which burned way more than just Rubicon. The Fires of Ibis being the only other coral disaster that has happened, and also very explicitly caused by the insanity of human paranoia. Coral has been shown and implied to be able to live in a vacuum, it doesn't appear to need a living world to exist. It's still there, and whether the mutant flows like Ayre all died is hard to know. Which, you know, is another thing to point out as Allmind very explicitly talks about Ayre as a mutation, so, the scary boogieman Professor Nagai was afraid of was coral transitioning into the next stage of its life--a sapient consciousness from the flows of sentient coral.
"When the storm of fire finally faded, only the ashes of a civilization remained. ...Rubicon was to be abandoned. Left a dead planet. Forever." I don't know a greater source than the narrator himself to confirm that the Coral is gone. Besides, the other two endings are not rainbows and flowers either. Liberator ending doesn't give any alternatives, only the vague "someday." Even worse, the corporations are likely to return since PCA is gone and the blood will continue to spill. While Alea Iacta Est... I don't know man, letting the humanity remain the way they are and secure the future sounds better than forcing everyone into losing themselves without any clue on what will the symbiosis even give.
I got the bad ending first, but to be honest it really doesn't feel like a bad ending. I mean, the whole route up to it makes perfect sense and feels like you'd finally conclude this dark part of history for good. When I first got this ending, I just assumed it was the true one, because it makes the most logical sense.
Yeah, and look how those mealworms were assimilated/infused by coral in the underground level. You could see firsthand the nasty effect of coral on biological forms.
You miss the pretty clear message that the RRI WASNT right then. The catastrophe wasn’t caused by the coral, but by fear to advance, to cross the rubicon and change. They didn’t know what came next and feared it, so they tried to destroy it first, destroying everything in the process and making it all even worse, because stagnancy equates to death. Especially with the evolution theming at parts with ALLMIND, and very clearly shown it with every glimpse of what life is like for humanity, a blade runner esque corporate hellscape with an uncaring and corrupt ineffectual government. Resources dwindling, wars over bottom lines, every life reduced to a number. Slow painful death. Just look at V3 O’Keefe’s dialogue and that says it pretty clearly. “Shovel down your bland rations, slurp your coffee flavored sludge, sure it sucks but that’s being human.” More willing to suffer eternally than risk change. Coral Release flips the table on the corporate hell that’s defined armorer core humanity for so long, overturning every foundational idea like morality, wealth, resources, and basic needs that they need to exist. Human minds freed from those constraint of corrupted society and mortal body at last
@@amorphousavocet1210 it just sounds way too sketchy. I don't trust the coral. We've seen that it's very dangerous and wiping it out for good (if asume that the "bad" ending really destroys it all) even if it means sacrificing a solar system might be worth it in the long run.
We "killed him more than once" in reference to him gettin' his ass kicked. He's more Evangel and Stinger than Hustler One, someone so driven by ambition and jealousy that he merged himself with a huge machine just to win
After multiple attempts I eventually had to cheese the Ayre encounter by backing up against the wall in my heaviest AC. I was so pissed after finally beating her that I got up and walked away. I didn’t even catch the ending until watching it now. lol
I wouldn't say it's the good ending. You followed through with Walter's wishes, yes, but you had to betray Ayre's trust and doom her entire species to death. Because, in case you somehow missed what the game was laying out, Coral is a form of sentient alien life. Not only do you destroy all Coral, you end up reducing Rubicon to an ashen wasteland which probably can't support any life anymore. The Fires of Raven consumed the entire planet, killing all the Coral and stopping the Corpo wars over it, but also likely killing all humans on or near the surface either immediately or shortly after. And you did it all because Walter, Carla, and the other Overseers were afraid of what MIGHT happen once the Coral convergence reaches a certain point. It's the same reason why the Fires of Ibis happened half a century before the start of the game. The RRI were afraid of what MIGHT happen, so they acted and either accidentally or intentionally laid waste to an entire planet and solar system. Rubicon was lucky in that it didn't entirely burn (hence survivors being nicknamed "Cinders"), but it seemed to be the last bastion for the Coral after Ibis. Hell, even the ending credits call your character a monster, and it seems unclear if you even survived burning the Coral. It seems, from my standpoint anyway, that the game is making it very clear that this ending is not the best one out there, and is probably the worst.
@@NobleLeader6 Ayre and the coral are parasitic alien life. Anytime you follow her orders it’s basically you being mind controlled by an alien. She has you kill Walter a guy who gave you a mech at the beginning of the game got you a lucrative merch job and helped break you out of captivity. Both Walter and Ayre were pushing you to do their biding but only one of them told people to treat you with respect (Walter). Siding with Ayre is the bad ending in my opinion. You betray humanity and do the biding of a parasitic life form. Like the zombies from last of us.
I liked the bad ending the best, she literal talked into your ear throughout the game, as well as others, on what the word "Raven" stands for. "Choose on what you believe, and fight for it." This path takes on all of Rubicon, PCA, Corps, Rusty, and Aria herself. Its like 621 is taking on the world, including the love ones, which in turn gives the name Raven more meaning and gives story more sadness. I don't know if i'm getting old, but the good ending is kinda clitche and boring. "we all stand together with the power of friendship." We stand for who? Aria, who we just literal met. Or Rubicon, that tried to kill us because we al literal illegals. In the end, im having Walters back because he had mine. This mission is nothing but "just another job." Also, boss fight and music is top tier
I chose to fight Arye simply because her wish is too selfish, too self serving, just because she's been with me for a few missions doesn't mean I'm forsaking humanity and betray Walter's final orders, not to mention he even left us the xylem ship, Arye might've been a big help but if only she can see the bigger picture that the one she's entrusting her so called "future of humans and corals getting along" is a man driven by lust of power, what a waste for such an intelligent and useful being, she just can't accept that she's already dead and became something else.
For those who understand better the lore, i still have not understood if the humans are actyally in the ac or are they just cerebrally connected by distance
i got bad ending bcs of V.II Snail! The dude made me hate the entire Arquebus coprs therefore i just want to ruin their business and here am i regreting what i have done!
Sadly, a lot of people are looking the endings as "black and white" but honestly, I think all of them are "grey" in the sense that none are perfect. But that's just me overthinking a mech's game lol.

@@argusy3866 It's exactly the plan of Gendo, which is foiled in the movie.
From what I gathered and understood
Ending 1: Wiped Rubicon and possibly the entire system off the face of the galaxy. Without coral, the PCA and the corporations are forced make to a peace agreement bringing the entire conflict to an end.
Ending 2: Raven and Ayre became guardians of Rubicon while leaving the future of coral and humanity to decide another future.
Ending 3: Ayre's dreams have been fully realized. Human-coral symbiosis is fully achieved while Raven, now a human-coral hybrid, is rescued then transported to either a new dimension or timeline where from what I read from other comments, became a possible prequel to the entire AC series
Actually, third one is a big fat no. They just got scattered across the galaxy or maybe even the universe along with the coral flow, and now pops up on another planet
Ayre said "stars" Not dimention.. So they still in the same universe but different planet
It is true, but id recommend just in case checking the original translation in Japanese since FromSoft always butchers it up.
They cut the end of the cut scene of ending 3 where it cuts to black and she says "Main System: Activating combat mode" altering the entire cutscene. The coral used you to spread it across the galaxy / universe so it could take it over.
Isn’t this just the plot of Eureka 7
The "true" ending having the final words be "initiating combat mode" just makes these words ring true. "Where there is coral, there is blood."
didnt hear that
People hate on the "bad ending" to much, coral is the whole reason all these corps are fighting, and who's to say walter is wrong? Can humanity truly poses something so powerful?
Fair argument, but I would ask if it is really "OK" to straight up commit genocide on the Coral just because humanity cannot handle its own inherent desires for power and control over the coral. It's not like the Coral asked to be used for developing and fueling weapons like what the Institute did. Imagine if aliens came down to Earth and started to wipe us out because we have developed nuclear weapons and that makes us too dangerous to be kept around. A pragmatic position, perhaps. But I would say it's morally questionable.

That final dialogue of Handler Walter after his fight made me shed a tear 😢😢. What an amazing storytelling and story.
he was just happy you made a friend at the end.
@@wanderingbufoon I wonder if 621 was a clone of Walters friend
@@savaronsw6596thinking about that now after he tells his short story...
@@lilramennoodle8056 my god, I want to write a responce but ended with a novel, don't do that..
I starting to think about it in first playtrough when Walter start to say "us" and "ours". To familiarly for old handler and simple hound
Man the bar is low for narratives in video games if this games story is considered good
Fighting ayre is hard not just because of her difficulty but her all but begging you to stop fighting her and killing her family. You can hear her heart break with every blow you trade
Honestly my hearts feel heavy while fighting her
Haha dual zimmerman goes brrt
"I could have been cortana to your master chief raven!"
@@republic0_032 "Sorry Ayre, but the noise of these Zimmermans don't let me hear you!"
She , of all characters, was the only one that seemed lovable. I felt so defeated when I had to fight her…
Fromsoft really brought back this series from the dead
more like brought a niche series to a wider audience
Its never dead, because the fan of armored core series is pretttyy small, its just brought back to wider audience, yes
They just bring it to the light
The recent years are the comeback of Japanese developers, also the comeback of Japanese titles/series too.
I wouldn't say dead more like FromSoft said,
"It's time to wake up the dog."
I feel, in most other games Walter would be the main character, trying to stop the side character turned main villain (Raven in this case) to protect his friends, to protect humanity from the Coral. But he still respects Raven so its hard for him to stop him just by himself.
But in a From Soft game, Raven would absolutely be the main character.
Really? The man is trying to commit genocide out of fear. Even if you ignore that the coral is a sapient species, he still wants to kill everyone on the planet and many in the solar system because he and the organization he works for finds the coral convergence scary. I find he fits pretty well as a bad guy in most games.
@@lordsoybo6727 For Walter perspective it make sense. He think coral as resources he don't see them as a human being hell no one see see coral that way except for the rubicon liberation front and Rusty.
You can notice in the boss fight with Walter he tries to shoot you but because of force augmentation with coral that Arquebes put into him he can now see ayre. So he stop trying to shoot him, telling the player to get all of his credit and undone the augmengation and live a free peaceful life and die from the crush.
Walter see coral as nuclear tech that will bring human disaster and destruction for all the planets. That is why he wants the coral to disappear from this wall so no one can use it as a weapon.
You can see that when playing the story. Some used as a drug, some use as materials for augmentation, sea spider and ice worm boss you can see they used coral as weapons and in the worm fight the AC pilots said coral will pollute the surrounding environment when they use it.
So there are a lot of good reasons to kill the coral. And coral is not alive coral is complex resources that complex enough to store someone whose consciousness people like Arye are not coral they are survivors from the fire of ibis happen to be alive and coral burn their body but most of their soul, consciousness is stil inside the corals.
@@ayeaung3527 Just curious, what do you think is the true bad or good ending? And what about the "True Ending" ?
Like you said, Walter has a very logical, if not very human reaction to the coral. In his eyes he is trying to destroy something he considers much more dangerous in the bigger picture.
@@ActuallyGuliBulli I think the true ending is the third ending because it is what 621 actually did himself not what the player wanted to do. The first two ending were kind of a meta give the player the option to pick between two evils of kill the coral before it becomes a threat to humanity and believe humanity can coexist with coral despite the risks/conflict. The third play through from a player perspective (from mine when I played it) didn't seem to make any sense because I was thinking why I would ever want to do this. That was when I realized it wasn't from my perspective or choice but the choices that 621 actually made.
I agree with the theory that 621 is an experimentally revived 617 by Walter. 621 hates Walter for sacrificing him and his crew, and then also making him into what ever 621 is now. He also hates the corps because they killed him and his crew, plus they've probably fought quite a lot while he was 617. In short 621 hates everyone on Rubicon, so he renounces his humanity and sides with the coral.
@lordsoybo6727 Not really. Even the Rubiconain original people thought of it only as a resource. Then they studied it and thought it could burn eveything.
I always thought Eguazu was annoying then I realized he’s just trying his best to measure up but is always close yet so far
Fuck Iguazu and his inferiority complex, he was never close
And then you realize HE'S JUST LIKE US.

2 (Good ending?): Let's the galaxy live to see another day... for the moment...
3 (True ending): TRANSFORMEEEEEEEERS!!! Let's the galaxy became "big robots with human minds"!!! (... and probably start, later, a war between evil and good machines...)
I still love the fact that I fought Ayre first, in my opinion the hardest of the final bosses. it kinda made the others feel really easy especially Walter he just kinda got obliterated
just dual akimbo javelin with dual needle canon. not a big deal. actually spider sea along with cleaner and juggernaut is overwhelming how massive they are. dont forget worm too, single needle was too much grind. dual better and farmed alot coams
Walter uses a more traditional AC you're able to build later on, including the weapons. Ayre's machine is unique and can transform
I thought Allmind was the hardest. Then again I've watched people fight Ayre and get him by moves that I dodged and those did pretty insane damage so maybe I just got lucky
@@Walamonga1313allmind second fight when iguazu goes full melee attack is really confuse me
Me tooo it was the best ending
Handler Walter's AC really have the vibes of Nineball Seraph. I really want to see the whole picture of his AC 🤌
You get the parts for his ac after beating him, so you get to see personally what they look like
it's just VP with extra parts
Again... Fromsoft choose of words and phrases are always strong and solid, No matter is that souls games or sekiro, the narator/character dialogues line are always solid.
Jesus christ, all those battles and mech designs were amazing for each final boss. You dont even need to know what endings are what, they all felt satisfactory
There's no real bad ending. Each characters had a goal, a dream, a duty. Something they cherished that needed to be protected. The only thing that matters is the choice you make to keep up your promises. And the consequences that come with it.
So the short summary for True Ending is.....
This Armored Core is a prequel all this time showing the origins of Armored Core.
How is exactly does it connect to the other ones?
@@jeremiahooms4716 You can say the black hole dragged all robots into the original timeline
Which one?
Certainly not AC4 and ACV timeline, right?
Not really. The other entries are self-contained. The wormhole-looking thingy sent the Coral all throughout the galaxy (if not the universe), while C4-621 and other Augmented Humans got swept along to the ride and were sent to another planet.
@@gargarmikejaphett.3840 what if ... this Coral Wormhole is the "Time Paradox", which leads to Great Destruction, AC and non-pilot version as "ancient relic", upgraded Red Nine Balls without Inguazu?
They really made an Evangelion ending wow truly a masterpiece
I got the "bad" ending but it had some of the most fun fights and it kinda fits 621 being independent and thinking he can defend the coral and Ayre. Reality is tho he will eventually die and the cycle continues but happy I went w the ending I did
Same here
Everyone calling it the bad ending but every ending is true ending for all i care.
Excuses just to feel better lol
The other ending is obviously the better one
Plus it had an amazing boss fight.
Betraying Carla and Walter, while working alongside our buddy Rusty had a lot more symbolism
Fits a lot more with our Raven

Now we can finally settle the debate
@@zchen27fight with him to stop V.2, he actually died
@@zchen27Pixy/Rusty let's talk about Borders buddy
betraying ayre will be the one achievement i won't be getting, i guess. fighting alongside rusty , everyone looking at raven with a mix of fear and reverence, a good farewell to walter with a great battle. liberator of rubicon is the superior ending between the first two, imo.
Imo saving the coral is the bad ending. Eventually raven is going to die and the corporations will just come back and restart it again. Carla risked her life to save me from what's basically a concentration camp. Walter is too much of a bro. It's good writing when we can disagree on this.
@@duckchen2676 i mean, carla sets the whole system on fire. Raven "vanished among the flames, never to be heardfrom again." billions dead, including Raven. a whole species, the coral, extinct. Plus between Ayre and Walter's fights, I find Walter's to be better due to the pride he shows in Raven making his own choices and finding friends. And it's not like Raven and the Rubiconians are just gonna sit there and do nothing while the corps recuperate. But yes, it is a sign of compelling writing when players can have discussions like this. It's also a testament to the performances to convey a lot of personality without faces.
@@bottomlefto agree to disagree, as that ending requires me to betray walters legacy and carla who's helped a ton as well. I like them both far too much to betray them (for me at least I ended up feeling more loyalty to them than ayre) and I'm down to burn it all to be rid of it once and for all instead of just... saving the coral with no plan in mind and it's probably gonna just go to shit again lol
@@SPONGCHAO Carla seemed to only really help you because you'd be useful to her. Walter and Ayre actually seem to care about 621. I think in the liberator ending Walter at the end isn't betrayed because he realizes there might be another way forwards (at least the way I interpreted it). I think he deliberately comments on 621 having a "friend" because he can see that the coral is sentient and may believe that 621 has a plan in mind since he is friends with Ayre. That's why he lowers his weapon at the end, because although he disagrees with us, he may see the potential in our method (compared to the Allmind ending where we are just doing exactly the opposite of what he wants).
..The one reason I got this ending was as a stepping stone to the true ending.
Even if she didn't bring the pain like she did, getting the bad endign hurt.
Given the sheer amount of mods the Souls games got, wouldn't be surprised AC6 gets mods too. Would love to see one that allowed you to ride a Balteus with your AC and shred stuff with the missiles.
One mod that adds all AC V's ultimate weapons would be dope, especially with the iconic Grinder Blade
I just want to import png's as emblems instead of using that very clunky image editor.
@@bottomleftothe basics is very good. it allow ton on creativity, tons of designers make realism decals and has gundam look like. and some Bijou vtuber Simps made Decals like her face, emblem etc. importing image would remove the effort and need ton of coding to make it forza looklike with album things
@@roko98332r "basics" would be allowing the player to draw with the mouse/graphic tablet or as I said, import . Game is great but let's not pretend that the image editor is anything but needlessly tedious.
Yeah they made a biboo face. You tell me how long it probably took to make.
I like how it toys with the player you can either kill the voice in your head and murder millions of rubiconians, kill your handler which i actually got close to, or create sentient robots that may or may not try to wipe out humanity
Honestly, I don't think the Fire of Raven is a bad ending. I mean, look at it like this, you bring an end to war on Rubicon as the thing the corps were after is gone. And it's a Fromsoft game and their moral ambious nature.
You end the war by making more deaths than it would have done, yay
You kill the rubicon liberation force and Manny more people tho
29:55 No Arye, It`s terrifying
The fight with Walter was so emotional and sad to me, like damn :'(
Holy shit, now THAT'S a final boss fight.

@@MrYjgh Don't care for either one, so you can take your ignorance elsewhere
I can't figure out which one is considered a good ending and a bad one? For me, they're all bad, I was sorry to kill Walter, Aira and Allmind 🥺😭 After all, the Rubicon suffers in all 3 cases anyway, and given that the so-called coral fusion will harm everyone, it turns out that the ending where we kill Aira is not the worst 🤔
The bad ending is the good ending I already know what coral capable of in the two other endings don't get me wrong I love my coral gf but you gotta do what you gotta do
their really isn't. This is FromSoft we are talking about here. Their endings are always either bittersweet or left up to interpretation.
Fires of Raven Ending obviously involves a lot of unintended genocide and destruction as well as giving up your chance at buying back your life, but you fulfill the wishes of Walter who has stuck by you this whole time, and prevented the Coral from causing a greater catastrophe later and bring an end to the corporate/PCA bloodshed.
Liberator of Rubicon has to have you stab some close allies in the back, but it involves the least bloodshed, with the sentient Coral and all the humans on Rubicon still alive to choose a future for themselves. However we don't really know much of what happens to the corporate presence on Rubicon following the end and its doubtful that Balam and Arquebus were the only two with their eyes on the Coral, so Rubicon's troubles will hardly be over, and we still may get the "Fires of Raven" anyways here, though now we have Ayre herself to provide insider knowledge on the Coral.
Meanwhile with the true ending, well you melded human and coral and machine and may have averted the worst of the two other endings, but most people didn't get a choice in this fusion, and we don't really know the consequences or what comes next from this development.
@@skrubknight884 Thank you for the detailed explanations :)
Rubicon suffers the least in LoR. It's also the only one that gives hope for an alternative other than Coral release and the destruction of Rubicon.
Iguazu made me realize hes the Ein Dalton (Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans) of Armored core. So killing him makes it more satisfying.
CRANK NII
my jaw dropped when i saw those two sea spiders
on the first try it took me solid 3 hours to beat just one
eventually it just took one try when i had my good build
and in that boss fight they were rather non factor when defeating the last boss
One of the things FromSoftware is good at is ambiguous storytelling
There is no real “good or bad” ending, it’s a matter of morals and prospective in a way.
Is destroying a planet and possibly the system really is the best way to end a war? Or is becoming a human-coral hybrid is not as bad as one might think?
That’s for you to decide
Jesus christ that was my same build for every boss. The double shotgun double nightsong too good. I beat the true ending boss in under 1 or 2 minutes with it rofl.
Armored Core 1
Nine Ball: "Those who wield too much power. Those who only bring chaos. They are simply not part of the program."
Armored Core 6

"...I have two songbirds."
"Oh shi-"
So. Ive played through 6 times now and I truly feel like there is some type of groundhog day effect taking place for NG+/++. Especially with what Ayre says to you after the Liberator ending. "Thank you for taking on my selfish mission. Now I want to see what you choose."

If I remember this correct, when you unlock multiplayer, Ayre said, that she found some unused element, inside code of ALLMIND, called "Nest". So, it most likely, that ALLMIND is updated version of 9B aka Raven's Nest AI.
@@MihailK-xz4dwid like to think that after AC3 9B just.... mutated, it became bitter and wanted to destroy the human race as the corporation and now is trying to rebuild its world with the convergence

29:08 That line delivery sent a pang through my heart when i beat this game. ALL MIND says "humanity" like she's deeply hurt and in despair. She's supposed to be an emotionless AI which makes the clear emotion in that line hit 100 times harder.
Do you need to get the bad ending and good ending before getting the true ending? Or can you just finish the game 2 times(Regardless of ending) then you can get the true ending?
you need both endings before unlocking 3rd ending
So this time, the developer was originally doing Extreme VS? ?
Because the characteristic of Extreme VS is that after each game, there will be a score
The front is all optional body fights, the only difference is the last level
A level B level C level will have different special kings
D started as a giant body with little difficulty
Baffles me that an all Gatling gun build can destroy any boss battle.
Like the game wish it had more epic music to the last fight still cant get mechanized memories out of my head.
Anyone else wondering about ending im hoping it doesn’t need to do anything with older armored cores and simply the black hole spreader them around the galaxy but doesn’t explained what is the MACHINE RINGS FLOATING IN SKY unless they landed on water back on rubicon 3 and looking at the rings that had satellite weapons ? . I know lots of people saying different things but I remember in one pilot history mentioning about the war on mars …… meaning past earth and in still in another distant system ….which is odd because armored core 2 took place in Mars .. but meaning or legacy of raven still existed and what happened to earth wasn’t mention …. I’m wondering if the story makes sense in a Macross story line …still want to know what or who put those towers there in verdict day…a person who was hurt or taken everything from the unstoppable lynx ????how many people got to leave earth before the Lynx killed eveything that got in his way …( assuming lets say they did destroy satellites or assault cells and combined with genocide ending) which would explain how people colonized mars and had a war with either the people who already left or barely leaving earth after verdit day …or earth completely died off ….. idk man they really need to write a book or at least explain …because I don’t want to think a loophole like terminator is what happened
only game I've played where ALL of the endings were amazing
The game Armored Core 6 is our Coral Release. Now Ravens, people who know about and play the Armored Core franchise, are everywhere and anywhere.
wait so those two spread their memory in other robots??
Running theory is that Raven and all Allmind downloaded pilots got released into various ACs across Rubicon and the stars via Coral Release.
@@mrct592 ohh dead pilots revive then
Kind of sad that no matter which ending Balam gets beat up
Yeah man, I wish there was a way to save Balam from being exterminated, I really liked them, especially michigan
So the true ending is basically Project Wingman’s ending. Sign me up for another playthrough then
So like, who else thought a beam of light was going to shoot down from the Coral release's black hole and create the First Flame?
Fromsoft should revive King's Field too
Or lost kingdoms after there next game spellbound
I kinda see AC6 as a time loop for some reason. Kinda like in Edge of Tomorrow. 621 keeps going back to the beginning until the True Ending, where it all stops.
I dunno, its a fun little headcanon.
These people saying that the Fires of Raven ending is morally grey. You know, the one where you commit mass genocide as an 'acceptable byproduct' of doing another genocide, killing everyone on Rubicon as a predicted consequence of attempting to murder an energy-based species that you *know* , by that point, is more complicated than the fears that Walter and Carla have inherited from Professor Nagai suggest. An attempt that, mind you, fails, because the coral wave persists over the ashes of a dead world. While the corporations jointly announce not to mess with Coral anymore, the corporations in Armored Core games (and, well, reality) are and will always be handsy with technology they really aught not to, and coral is just too potent a resource to go forever ignored.
So you've killed everyone for ideally no effect. Outside of ideal circumstances, you may have made any future beyond a horrific war between humans and coral way less likely, depending on how much the event effects the coral flow.
Truly wild.
Bro, Coral is no more in this ending
@@georzonnaLook at the cutscene post-ignition at 6:42
The fire's spreading on the surface of Rubicon, but the coral in the atmosphere (or just outside it, since the atmosphere is probaby about to cease being there) is still there, flowing, and decidedly not on fire. Everyone on Rubicon is very dead, setting aside what probably happens to nearby star systems, considering that the Fires of Raven is supposed to be way more horrific than the Fires of Ibis which burned way more than just Rubicon.
The Fires of Ibis being the only other coral disaster that has happened, and also very explicitly caused by the insanity of human paranoia.
Coral has been shown and implied to be able to live in a vacuum, it doesn't appear to need a living world to exist. It's still there, and whether the mutant flows like Ayre all died is hard to know. Which, you know, is another thing to point out as Allmind very explicitly talks about Ayre as a mutation, so, the scary boogieman Professor Nagai was afraid of was coral transitioning into the next stage of its life--a sapient consciousness from the flows of sentient coral.
so what do you think about current genocides on earth? lol
"When the storm of fire finally faded, only the ashes of a civilization remained. ...Rubicon was to be abandoned. Left a dead planet. Forever." I don't know a greater source than the narrator himself to confirm that the Coral is gone.
Besides, the other two endings are not rainbows and flowers either.
Liberator ending doesn't give any alternatives, only the vague "someday." Even worse, the corporations are likely to return since PCA is gone and the blood will continue to spill.
While Alea Iacta Est... I don't know man, letting the humanity remain the way they are and secure the future sounds better than forcing everyone into losing themselves without any clue on what will the symbiosis even give.
I got the bad ending first, but to be honest it really doesn't feel like a bad ending. I mean, the whole route up to it makes perfect sense and feels like you'd finally conclude this dark part of history for good.
When I first got this ending, I just assumed it was the true one, because it makes the most logical sense.
True. I thought that was the best ending too.
Yeah, and look how those mealworms were assimilated/infused by coral in the underground level. You could see firsthand the nasty effect of coral on biological forms.
You miss the pretty clear message that the RRI WASNT right then. The catastrophe wasn’t caused by the coral, but by fear to advance, to cross the rubicon and change. They didn’t know what came next and feared it, so they tried to destroy it first, destroying everything in the process and making it all even worse, because stagnancy equates to death.
Especially with the evolution theming at parts with ALLMIND, and very clearly shown it with every glimpse of what life is like for humanity, a blade runner esque corporate hellscape with an uncaring and corrupt ineffectual government. Resources dwindling, wars over bottom lines, every life reduced to a number. Slow painful death. Just look at V3 O’Keefe’s dialogue and that says it pretty clearly. “Shovel down your bland rations, slurp your coffee flavored sludge, sure it sucks but that’s being human.” More willing to suffer eternally than risk change.
Coral Release flips the table on the corporate hell that’s defined armorer core humanity for so long, overturning every foundational idea like morality, wealth, resources, and basic needs that they need to exist. Human minds freed from those constraint of corrupted society and mortal body at last
@@amorphousavocet1210 it just sounds way too sketchy. I don't trust the coral. We've seen that it's very dangerous and wiping it out for good (if asume that the "bad" ending really destroys it all) even if it means sacrificing a solar system might be worth it in the long run.
Everyone talking about eva in this but nah bro human and coral...... THAT EUREKA SEVEN DAMMIT
So Carla dies in every ending? I feel a little less bad for betraying her now.
She dies in all endings, but only in one of them she dies the way she wanted.

when walter and rusty died :(
Guys it's me or Iguazu is a reference to 9 Ball? He said we killed him more than once and he comes back in a big AC like Seraph.
We "killed him more than once" in reference to him gettin' his ass kicked. He's more Evangel and Stinger than Hustler One, someone so driven by ambition and jealousy that he merged himself with a huge machine just to win
If you havent yet, please play this game. Its so underrated its outrageous
Not sure if i missed a bit if dialogue in my true ending run, but what happened to Rusty?
My guess is walter AC killed him
Well in that ending when rusty shows he says this wasn’t part of the plan maybe he was also working on the release project as well
@@Omegaf117 We’ve been wronged again by Bungie my SIVA brethren
It'd be nice if there was a PCA ending. They've been the good guys all along.
After multiple attempts I eventually had to cheese the Ayre encounter by backing up against the wall in my heaviest AC. I was so pissed after finally beating her that I got up and walked away. I didn’t even catch the ending until watching it now. lol
the real armored core was the friends we made along the way
The fires of Raven sounds soooo good
Damn, havent played the game yet, but the first ending hits hard as all hell
True ending's last mission made me think of oldking's
i thought the bad ending was the good ending? we get rid of coral which was going to destroy everything? felt good to me
I wouldn't say it's the good ending. You followed through with Walter's wishes, yes, but you had to betray Ayre's trust and doom her entire species to death. Because, in case you somehow missed what the game was laying out, Coral is a form of sentient alien life. Not only do you destroy all Coral, you end up reducing Rubicon to an ashen wasteland which probably can't support any life anymore. The Fires of Raven consumed the entire planet, killing all the Coral and stopping the Corpo wars over it, but also likely killing all humans on or near the surface either immediately or shortly after.
And you did it all because Walter, Carla, and the other Overseers were afraid of what MIGHT happen once the Coral convergence reaches a certain point. It's the same reason why the Fires of Ibis happened half a century before the start of the game. The RRI were afraid of what MIGHT happen, so they acted and either accidentally or intentionally laid waste to an entire planet and solar system. Rubicon was lucky in that it didn't entirely burn (hence survivors being nicknamed "Cinders"), but it seemed to be the last bastion for the Coral after Ibis.
Hell, even the ending credits call your character a monster, and it seems unclear if you even survived burning the Coral. It seems, from my standpoint anyway, that the game is making it very clear that this ending is not the best one out there, and is probably the worst.
@@NobleLeader6 You do survive burning the Coral. The post-credits scene has Walter sincerely thank you, and tell you to get your life back.
@@NobleLeader6 yes but if the coral did do what walter and carla thought, then it was worth the sacrifice.
@@theeliteterrarian1888 I'm curious to see where this conversation might go just just leaving a message here. Both have good points imo :)
@@NobleLeader6 Ayre and the coral are parasitic alien life. Anytime you follow her orders it’s basically you being mind controlled by an alien. She has you kill Walter a guy who gave you a mech at the beginning of the game got you a lucrative merch job and helped break you out of captivity. Both Walter and Ayre were pushing you to do their biding but only one of them told people to treat you with respect (Walter). Siding with Ayre is the bad ending in my opinion. You betray humanity and do the biding of a parasitic life form. Like the zombies from last of us.
I like the good ending the best
"What makes you special?" *explodes*
maybe with all those AC's getting revived in the true ending nineball can return next game
Best girl basically borrowed the 00 Raiser and gave it Unicorn Gundam colors.
EDIT:
And perma Trans-Am on top of it.
I liked the bad ending the best, she literal talked into your ear throughout the game, as well as others, on what the word "Raven" stands for. "Choose on what you believe, and fight for it." This path takes on all of Rubicon, PCA, Corps, Rusty, and Aria herself. Its like 621 is taking on the world, including the love ones, which in turn gives the name Raven more meaning and gives story more sadness.
I don't know if i'm getting old, but the good ending is kinda clitche and boring. "we all stand together with the power of friendship." We stand for who? Aria, who we just literal met. Or Rubicon, that tried to kill us because we al literal illegals. In the end, im having Walters back because he had mine. This mission is nothing but "just another job."
Also, boss fight and music is top tier
I chose to fight Arye simply because her wish is too selfish, too self serving, just because she's been with me for a few missions doesn't mean I'm forsaking humanity and betray Walter's final orders, not to mention he even left us the xylem ship, Arye might've been a big help but if only she can see the bigger picture that the one she's entrusting her so called "future of humans and corals getting along" is a man driven by lust of power, what a waste for such an intelligent and useful being, she just can't accept that she's already dead and became something else.
The begging was wayyyy better than the grind to get to the ending. This stuff is only for mecha fans.
Loved this game it was my first Armored Core game. Tell me y’all didn’t think “Erd Tree” when you saw that thing.
so basically the true endings is: And That Is How Cybertron Was Born
The bad ending is actually the good ending
For those who understand better the lore, i still have not understood if the humans are actyally in the ac or are they just cerebrally connected by distance
Tbh I don't trust the Coral at all so "bad ending" is my only choice. And how is merging together with the corals a good thing?
Fires of Raven is bad ending? Yall need to stop simpin for every female character and blast that thot to shreds.
LET THE CORAL BURN!!!
Ah. An incel, i see.
@@BossStar1995 Oh no, some 9 year old insulted me. And he won't stop until he's breastfeed
I hope the add a dlc ending where rusty and walter live
Dem long shotty/songbird build be wrecking
i got bad ending bcs of V.II Snail! The dude made me hate the entire Arquebus coprs therefore i just want to ruin their business and here am i regreting what i have done!
I always think the 1st ending is the bad ending..
That's because it is.
Sadly, a lot of people are looking the endings as "black and white" but honestly, I think all of them are "grey" in the sense that none are perfect. But that's just me overthinking a mech's game lol.
@@onerandomguy4832 ive no sympathy with walter who act like tero and the big corporate as the imperials..
@@onerandomguy4832 the sad part is most human tend to look everything as gray because they wont admit they are at fault
Like I said, in the end its just game of robots, fun but nothing deep about it. (and it doesn't need to be).@@lastboss2418
I can't tell if Walter is referring to Ayre or himself when saying 'you found a friend'
He was referring to Ayre. Since he was hopped on Coral, he could "see" her too.
"That voice... I see it... next to you..."
Put down the Coral weapons, Waltuh
On true ending why Ayre says "initiating combat mode"
The amount of times Ayres, my waifu, killed me, was about 4 times? Then on my 5th try I got her but my heart died in the inside as the cost of it.
Wished waltuh survived
He shoulda slowed down.
