Armored Core Lore: Interior Union

The History of a corporation that did not become a single being until the later period of the lynx war. They however would show the world that it could be a giant like many other league members.

Pretty funny to me that Oldking and Strayed just casually accepted a mission from interior Union to "destroy an arteria facility" and then later all Collards top ranked pilots were under this deluded belief that they fell for a trap. Personally, i'de like to think that Strayed and OldKing just simply took it as an invitation to settle things once and for all.

[@andrewrogers3067]

Given Old Kings line and how dumb the mission is on paper, they went there knowing what they were getting into.

[@armoredcorelore]

I'm in the option too that the pair knew what was happening. At that point with so much blood on their hands, they knew the only path for them was to bathe in more blood. To purge the poisoned world by fire and steel.

I figured their view on it was "This _is_ a trap, but not for _us_ ."

[@PS3PS2fan]

In the Hard Mode scenario in FA, Interior is notorious for withholding information and backstabbing Strayed. My guess is that Interior can't stand the idea of an outside mercenary intervening in their affairs, possibly endangering their profits.

Dude, I love your content. This game is very near and dear to my heart. Your videos are very well-made, and I think you're filling a niche that has been sorely lacking. Thank you for what you do.

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you for your kind praise. I will do my best to keep this up.

[@andrewrogers3067]

And like that we covered all of the corporations of 4th generation. I genuinely can’t wait to see what’s next (no pun intended). The video itself is extremely well done, you managed to talk about the merger and their relationship with Aldra during Armored Core 4 in solid detail, and honestly, I think no music really fits your videos. Your voice has gotten much better since your early videos. Solid job, can’t wait to see what else you’ll cover.

[@armoredcorelore]

Ah I am a fan of the puns. Its been quite the journey so far and I hope to continue to learn more as I go on. Thank you for your support as always.

[@vincentross4385]

I'm so happy to see armored core given recognition in this way. I love these games and their worlds so much.

[@TheHolyKnight932]

After replaying both AC4 and For Answer, your lore series has brought a lot of new meaning to everything, and it's like playing the game again for the first time. Thank you for making this series, truly one of my favorites!

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you for your kind words. I hope to do the same in the future too.

[@Raum2901]

One thing i have to note is that the interior union's logo and typoghaphy is an exact copy of lockheed martin logo, i wonder if other corporations logos are based of real life companies logos

[@armoredcorelore]

Its very possible, i believe someone on twitter said the logo seem very similar to car brands.

[@csam9167]

I have a theory about the armored core part , since their is so few next they made the part on order , like you buy it they make it and send it to you. Amasing content by the way. I wish we could have a video about the AMS and Kojima technology

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you and i like the theory. You'll be happy to hear then that both are in the works, just need more time on them.

[@csam9167]

@@armoredcorelore take the time , we are all happy that you make those video

[@ramblers2971]

One thing I never understood about AC 4 and Answer was the story. I kinda just did stuff. This stuff helps puts things into perspective and makes me miss those games a lot. Is there a place to really find a full thing of the story?

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you for you kind words. If your looking for a full plot explanation, the AC Wiki does a very solid job of covering the events that happen in both games.

7:02 how to make any french person have an aneurysm now it's my head canon stiletto pronounces it like that

[@armoredcorelore]

Ha ha ah my apologies to any French viewer, the last time I spoke any French was quite some years ago. Let's see if I can do better now.

[@armoredcorelore]

Got them on my to do list along with other items.

[@aaronofastora2308]

Slightly off topic topic but I have a passionate love hate relationship with From Sodtware's Dark Souls series. As a whole I love the games but I'm certain that their success is atleast partly responsible for the downfall of Armored Core. All good things must come to an end.

[@armoredcorelore]

I can understand your feelings on this matter. But its my hope that with dark souls being the hit it is, that this will allow them to have a little more wiggle room such as being able to release a new dark souls or whatever they wish to call it and maybe an AC game later on. Though business go where the money is to keep others happy and food on the table, I suspect we will see a lot more dark soul like games before an AC game.

[@aaronofastora2308]

@@armoredcorelore a lot of the From Soft employees that had been involved in Armored Core have since left the studio and gone on to do other projects. The Switch title Daemon ex Machina was made by several of these former employees as a spiritual successor but the game lacks that Armored Core feel atleast in my humble opinion. I am glad that Dark Souls was made and that From Soft found success through it. I myself am hugely fond of the game and have hundreds of successful invasions recorded but Armored Core will always be my first love.
