This is the story of five years after Leos mars rebellion, a story that really does not have much substance to it, however it will open up the doors of theories and time line questions for ever.

While this game didn't really have a story, I do think it gave a pretty satisfying conclusion to the storyline starting from AC1 as well as a pretty satisfactory amount of worldbuilding.

The game itself standalone doesn't have a story but it felt nice as a world building game after the events of 2. Especially with what was going on at Earth at the time. So in a way it felt nice to play as a clear cut mercenary just doing missions to survive with little bits of story plot going on in the background. Literally "same shit, different planet"

It's a perfect bridge to ANOTHER AGE, get it? Another Age pretty much just an "Intermission" for the upcoming Gen 3, powered with some throwback and foreshadow as an icing on the cake. 4:11 9:04 That's more like it, I love seeing that. Testament of the best build, and I can see by the gameplay, you just want an easy way out.

After watching the Armored core 2 video, I still think to myself that this raven is the Raven that fought Leo's Klein. Just my theory: perhaps he knew things would get peaceful on Mars so we went back to earth. Then again I'm just speculating.
@armoredcorelore Жыл бұрын
Speculate away as personally like you i believe this raven is the one who defeated Klein and with his wish he returned to earth only to see even after he'd saved mars, he was just another pawn in the game of corporation warfare.

this game was one of from softs better ones for gameplay and story was light but contextual it was in more a background thing youd have to read and pay attention to see but its there its not heavy and its fairly good im suprised you didnt comment on the lost field missions vs stinger phantasma and seraph nineball they always stuck out to me as huge easter eggs for multiple reasons
@armoredcorelore Жыл бұрын
Ahh see the reason i did not speak about that place is really i scanned over my copy of the ac2aa book i have and found nothing. In fact the more i look at the lost field the more i think it really was just that an Easter egg, however could the earth government been conducting secret projects? Sure they wanted power so why no bring back the things that killed and enslaved humanity. Then go you know what maybe we did an oops better call in that raven who just killed the top mars raven, he should be able to clean up our mess right.

@@armoredcorelore I always consider those fights in that area, a little more than an Easter egg as well. I always thought of them more as a tying back to the original trilogy of games and kind of showing how, regardless of what people think of the second game they all did take place at some point in that LinkedIn timeline and it definitely helped to tie in armored core to back with the original three What you mentioned about the flying MT boss I totally forgot that. It does definitely resemble and have a similar weapon set up to the one in three whether or not they are the same given that three and onward seem to take place in a different universe timeline, or somehow are supposedly not connected, whereas I thought they were growing up playing them back in the day , it’s an interesting idea and I do need to take a good look at both of them to see what the deal with that is. Perhaps it’s just a non-back to the second GEN games. Maybe there’s something a little more there I mean we are dealing with fromsoft they love their references.

A good question and I believe the example i give in this video can be done at the start of the game.
