The VA for Ayre should've won an award for this. She sells the sense of pain, betrayal, desperation and anger so well. She genuinely sounds like a close friend that you've hurt / backstabbed.

[@VictorIV0310]

Even excluding the fact that we put Walter out of our misery and “liberate” Rubicon III from the corps, it’s only a temporary solution and they will be coming back to get their due, leaving Raven and Ayre to figure out a way out of this mess themselves.

@@MaidenlessScrub don't get me wrong, i love armored core, from software and (most) of their design choices, but some people wank from as if they're the second coming of jesus christ himself. like, the story is good. yeah. but it isn't this monumental GREATEST OF ALL TIME masterpiece, and it doesn't have to be. the combat, yes! that deserves praise beyond compare, but saying the writing is incredible because it conveys feeling without exposition and cutscenes is akin to saying every single book ever written is incredible because there isn't a sparknotes summary at the end to tell you how to feel about it.

[@xepher7217]

What I still find the most wild about this situation is the line "I know you can still see it. The voices of the coral." Implying that 621 was maybe hearing at this point more then just Ayre, and even then they made the decision to burn it all away no matter what happened. No hesitation, no breaks, all the stops were pulled. Just to burn it all.

[@bombomos]

Makes you think is Arye even an individual? Or a share consciousness of all the local Coral. How much is she lieing about? Just to make you help her start the convergence. Cuz Thumb's Coral companion already knew about the coral convergence. She why didn't Arye? Or was Arye lying to make us be on her side?

[@Punishthefalse]

@@bombomos Oh, stop with your pontifications. From Software's stories are always sincere with their message. The only lie she's ever made is a lie by omission (that being her as a Rubiconian, though even then she wasn't exactly lying either. She *is* Rubiconian. It took her a while to figure out that 621 hasn't realised she's Rubiconian as in Coral and not a human of Rubicon and was quick to apologise for that omission). And no, Thumb Dolmayan and Seria do not actually know what Coral Release entails. All they know is that Release will bring humans and Coral together and become something else entirely. Whatever they will become, they will not be just humans or just Coral anymore. A shared existence. Humanity and Coral as we know it will no longer exist. In its place it's a different existence, and there's no precedence to help predict what kind of existence that could be. Thumb's terrified of this unknown while Seria's more excited by the potential and promises of this evolution. Even then, Seria still respected Dolmayan's wishes when he said he wanted no part in this. Dolmayan, on his end, seemed regretful about what he had done and in his dying breath cried out to Seria in regret. Also to note both Dolmayan and Seria do not know where Coral Convergence is. Only the PCA and ALLMIND know as they had been monitoring the growth of the Coral ever since the Fires. Walter sort of know, or rather, he suspected where it could be considering his family's history with the Coral and the research around Coral. Ayre doesn't exactly know about it but she can feel its pull since, you know, she's Coral. As Walter already said, Coral instinctively will flock together. This is exactly why he had the Watchpoint blown up, because he knows the released Coral will instinctively flock towards the highest concentration of Coral (the Convergence).

[@Ceraphid]

"You are determined to carry on Walter's will, and commit a great sin in his stead... I respect your resolve! But I *cannot* allow this to happen." Might be my favourite line and a great insight into her character, although heart struck, being the only thing between a genocide on a human population and an alien lifeform. She still finds the strength to understand why we're doing this, she understands and she pleas with us throughout the fight, and I also believe 621 would also enjoy the idea to lay down the weapons and find an alternative, considering we seem to have been affected by the loss of contact with her (Carla saying she thinks we also lost a friend) but what alternative is there? Just hope a collapse doesn't happen? The risk is great and she understands that too in the LoR ending. They're basically kindred spirits on opposite side of a war, both understanding the reason they're each other's foe. I love Ayre

[@solairesolalalalalemon1198]

What Raven doesn’t realize is that humans are trapped in the coral. What Ayre doesn’t realize is that the earth corps will take the coral and the never ending war will continue. Walter doesn’t just fight for rubicon, he fought for humanity. But in reality. I think both Walter and Cindy were both over pressured by their own voices. You see Ayre isn’t the only one. There are voices that are haunting Walter and he is tormented by them. So what is the answer. Let the fires of rubicon fade into nothingness or take that flame called Ayre and try to fight for a future where the victims of war can live side by side of the survivors of war so that one day with hope…there are no more wars haunting humanity.

[@thelostician]

I think Ayre partially misinterpreted Carla and Walter’s intentions. In the first Fires, the Fires of Iblis, people became trapped in the coral, removed from their bodies, removed from connection to other people, no one, not even the other trapped individuals could hear them. Walter in a most destructive and desperate action, may have sought out a solution. “Where there is coral, there is blood.” This idea did not just simply mean people would die and kill to obtain coral, but that people died as a result of coral, those who were trapped are dead, their voices ghosts of a life long passed. To Walter, the fires of raven was an act of mercy. At least that’s how I see it so far. I haven’t gotten the full picture yet myself, but we’ll see what Allmind has to say.

[@dragonslayer3552]

The saddest part, for me, is honestly the thought that Ayre perhaps knows she cannot win against Raven. She has seen you rise to become more than a lowly hound, overcome every obstacle in your path, and has more knowledge of your capabilities than anyone else... yet even she knows that you will always surpass. She cannot let you win, she MUST fight, but I think she knows that even she cannot stop you.

[@Aloiv]

In my mind, this ending felt the most genuine to how I thought of Raven. Someone like them who was so horribly exploited, being used again and again by so many; if humanity so easily would do that to their own kind, of what hope would there ever be that humanity would show any decency to the coral? Why would they willingly subject them to that imprisonment?

Something I think is very interesting about this fight had to be pointed out to me And it’s how Ayre Fights, at the very core of her attacks it’s just sheer brute force and speed. There isn’t any real finesse or strategy She Just Blitzes you and hopes it pays off, which I find very interesting, it not only shows off her inexperience in piloting an AC (she isn’t bad, far from it, it just shows how it’s her first time in one) BUT it also shows how desperate she is. Strategy is out the window and both you and her know, it’s one of you, Or the other one And at the end of the day, Ayre Cannot let it be her, because like she says in the beginning. YOU will Never. Burn. Rubicon. Ashame it didn’t work.

[@Hustler.One09]

Something I noticed about how Ayre fights is that it's very similar to the Seraph in Master of Arena, in some ways. I didn't really notice it until I hopped from MoA straight back to 6 to take a break, but I fought Ayre right after Nineball and noticed a lot of similarities in how they move and rely mostly on their blades. That honestly makes me enjoy the Ayre fight even more. I guess it makes sense. He's desperate when he's piloting the Seraph, too.

And it's really controversial, but I'd say that this is the closest ending to the «true» one out of the first 2, which *ends* the Rubicon wars for granted. Allmind ending is basically the same: there's nothing to wage wars for *and nobody to do it.* Though, in second case we have a f#%king rogue AI and everyone is dead anyway, so I don't think it's better.

Ayre has a somewhat ambiguous way of emotional manipulation through constant pressure and guilt. there is never any evidence that coral symbiosis would be beneficial to humanity, yet she is always subtly pushing the idea despite 621 being human. All sources actually point to the opposite, that Coral is simply too dangerous. Once you see past the whole "waifu in your head" business, Its pretty clear that this is a character who would play along to get what they want until direct confrontation is required, and she isn't afraid to fight to the death for her rather selfish ideal. Maybe it's because I'm terrible with people, but I just could not come to trust the red glitchy voice born from an unstable energy source. all I could see was red flags the whole way through.

[@baisansebastian3358]

Sorry but the entire point of the story flew over your head. Ayre never once tries to manipulate Raven into doing anything , she simply tries to show Raven that Coral (And by extension Rubicon) deserves a chance outside of Overseer/The Corporations , by getting him contracts with the RLF , taking him on missions exploring Rubicon's History , and never demanding anything of him , unlike Walter or the Corps. She hopes kindness and humanity can reach 621's heart , a gambit that may or may not pay off. There really is no source pointing to Coral being dangerous except intentional mis-use , like the Corps or Dolmayan did. I find it funny that you critique Ayre for being willing to...fight for her life and that of her family? Coral is Sentient , my guy. It has feelings. It has thoughts. It can form bonds. It isn't Gasoline. The actual humans in the game are willing to fight you for 200.000 COAM , Ayre only fights you when her race is about to get burned alive (for the 2nd time , may i add). Calling self-defense selfish is silly.

[@lethalshed2272]

So this is the bad ending that you have become a monster that you seek just like in ACFA lol?

[@CallsignYukiMizuki]

Ayre cope. She was a tag along that asked us to betray the people that saved our ass

[@morepenguins6247]

They also got you into this whole thing, so they're saving you from something that was their fault.

[@mistermann4163]

Well I mean everyone associated with the Overseers with Allmind doing the same thing in the 3rd ending. Aside from that everything was our choice along with hers to protect her kind and die by our hand.

Everyone in this game is using and manipulating you. Ayre is no different. She just mainly prefers emotional manipulating. The difference with Walter is that he is, at least, honest about it. He is not your friends or trying to bs you in pretending to be one. Just do the job and get paid.

[@morepenguins6247]

@@venom0825 I'm pretty sure she's actually emotional about this, considering it's genocide of her entire species.

[@venom0825]

@@morepenguins6247 still manipulation and that excuse only really applies by the end of the game. The rest of the game she just a tag along that uses you to further her goal to get to the coral convergent and/or trigger coral release( and never give you a good reason why ).

[@venom0825]

Kinda found Ayre to be pretty annoying as a character if I'm being honest, so killing her wasn't that big a deal for me. Then after finishing the 3rd ending and getting a better understanding of the story, I grew to dislike her even more. So yeah, fires of raven all the way.
