Armored Core Lore : Venide

[@HeyPachuco]

If you're wondering how Venide is pronounced: Use a google translator and click on the little Megaphone Icon to hear how its pronounced in Latin (much to my surprise, they pronounced it correctly) the word is attributed to Caesars iconic quote from his swift victories: "Veni Vini Vici" which translates to "I came, i saw, I conquered"

[@armoredcorelore]

@@HeyPachuco Neat, I took how its pronounced from the game. So sorry Maggy.

[@HeyPachuco]

@@armoredcorelore you good, i'm not trying to be a grammar nazi here, if that's how the game pronounced it, then that's fine. It's just i come from a hispanic family so Venide has a familiar pronunciation with those of Latin heritage (spanish, Italians, French and so on) but they mean the same. which just simply means "come from" "come of" or "come to" depending on the context or language that uses it. but it was definitely attributing to Julius Caesar and his victories

[@armoredcorelore]

@@HeyPachuco Ha ha no, no pachuco I'm not calling you one. To be fair I am quite interested in the pronunciations of these names and words. Take my comment more as if others come looking asking why I say venide like that when it's pronounced this way.

What Roman power slowly built, an unarmed traitor instantly overthrew. Claudius Claudianus

[@armoredcorelore]

@@danielmartires5121 Nice.

[@exterminatus_now]

I like how the meeting at the tower is the day each of the leaders of the three factions actually met in one place. There on, Venide would ramp up the militaristic authoritarianism, Men of Honor would be reformed as Sirius Executives, ans the Resistance would be reborn as a new fundamentalist Evergreen Family.

[@armoredcorelore]

@@exterminatus_now It was cool plus how they all got to power also very cool.

[@aphidamas1]

ACL putting me in the 5th Gen cycle again. Every time I watch something about 5th gen I get all "ooh, that's looking fun. I'll give 5 or VD another shot." Only for me to play for 30 min, get fed up and quit for another 6 months.

[@lukasbjornendermann9944]

5 is rather fun

[@armoredcorelore]

@@aphidamas1 Ah I know that feeling. I recently watched Jason here on youtube play gundam climax and had to replay. Only to remember how bad I am at it ha ha.

[@ACFoxeye]

Thanks again for getting us some of this untranslated material. Interesting to see Carol and Chief show up again, even if it was just for a moment.

[@armoredcorelore]

Ah you know me foxeye i do like finding out this stuff and thank you for sticking around with me all this time.

[@azurespectrum1985]

Thanks for another lore video to enjoy coffee with!

[@armoredcorelore]

@@azurespectrum1985 Hope you enjoy.

[@GreyKingZero]

Thank you for the lore vid. These stories always bring me back to AC. I hope there will be another AC game someday soon because of these stories. There so impactful.

[@armoredcorelore]

@@GreyKingZero Oh me too. I tell you since starting acl it's been a blast seeing and learning all about the stories and character in the books.

[@blakenielson1455]

I love you armored core lore!! Keep giving love to the best games ever!

[@armoredcorelore]

Thank you for the very kind words.

[@blagojpejov4155]

Nice work on Venide

Sinister violin solo

@@namelesskin8049 How else can you show how classicly evil you without such a solo.

[@namelesskin8049]

@@armoredcorelore it goes hard with the beat as well

[@armoredcorelore]

@@namelesskin8049 yes it does.

[@MrWaifuTaker]

Venide reminds me of Caesar's Legion from Fallout New Vegas.

[@armoredcorelore]

I can see it, mind you at least this Caesars let the ladies of his faction have leadership roles.

[@linus11vf1j]

I am amused that there is a tracked AC named French 75 after what feels like the World War 1 field artillery gun.

[@armoredcorelore]

Oh that is rather cool. I do not know much about real life weapons so the link is neat.

[@linus11vf1j]

@@armoredcorelore There is also a cocktail by the same name. So in a funny sense, a beautiful dame firing a really big gun fits really well xD

[@armoredcorelore]

@@linus11vf1j Nice ha ha

[@AnatoliasAce3341]

Slight correction, the Lone Mercenary is VD's protagonist.

[@miragealex8875]

Technically, The lone mercenary is for both gen V protag. They only called them The Dark raven after.

[@AnatoliasAce3341]

@miragealex8875 No? The Lone Mercenary is only in reference to VD's protag. The DR is just called "that mercenary".

[@armoredcorelore]

@@AnatoliasAce3341 Oh sure. but I mean technically still both mercenaries just one got a nice title.

[@miragealex8875]

@@AnatoliasAce3341 I'm pretty sure in ACV artbook, we are called the Lone merc.

[@AnatoliasAce3341]

@miragealex8875 No, we aren't. We're just called "mercenary". I have the book, both books in fact, and only the VD protag is called the Lone Mercenary.

[@danprentice7073]

I've said this before but I do like how the factions in VD are so different to the mega corps from the previous games. BTW I read your reply to my comment on the last video ,didn't know you watched Fairy tale what other anime have you watched?

[@armoredcorelore]

@@danprentice7073 they are neat plus we know how they became what they are which just adds to them. Oh yes I have watched a few, black lagoon, the devil is a part timer, patlabour, pokemkn digimon tri, trigun, cowboy bebop and the original gundam on television and I'm currently making my way through some of the other gundam series.

[@eW91dHViZSBpcyBjZW5zb3JzaGlw]

Armored Core lore > Souls lore. I can't be the only one who thinks this.....

[@armoredcorelore]

I mean we already have a lot of people who cover the soul lore very well. And well to be honestly i don't really enjoy the souls games. I played demon souls, stopped after the first black sludge boss and have never picked it up again. It just was not my cup of tea. But I'll happily play AC last raven ha ha.

[@Mark.the.Suspect]

As flawed as it was, I love 5th Gen

[@armoredcorelore]

It has grown on me I admit and the lore even more so.

[@AORaiMechWork]

Even in far future THE FRENCH SURVIVE!!!!

[@armoredcorelore]

@@AORaiMechWork They certainly do, I admit the mixture of names from has for these characters is kinda cool.

[@AORaiMechWork]

@@armoredcorelore they even got Eiffel tower and everything

[@armoredcorelore]

@@AORaiMechWork very cultured from, very cultured.

[@jacquestao8628]

Didnt know venide was like that I guess im staying with sirius for some time. (I suck at verdict day)

[@armoredcorelore]

@@jacquestao8628 I know quite the way of life and I am with you there.

[@unknownas9705]

For me they have a Roman-Soviet vibe, it shows in their ost p.s.: France is gone, or is vision fo the future? p.p.s.: I've already managed to catch up

[@armoredcorelore]

I think i would have to side with Sirius if i had too. They seem like the best bunch out of them all.

[@JoelfarrelGunawan]

Hey Acl what's your favorite ac game?

[@armoredcorelore]

@@JoelfarrelGunawan Armored core formula front, I have always loved the psp version. But getting to play the ps2 version has only made me love it more. The background stories and events are just wacky and I love them. Granted I do have to translate them but man they are a fun read.
