Corporations using the AI organization to buy tech to make their own independent ACs so they don’t have to use Global Cortex was always fascinating to me. What rules were made so corporations can’t just have Ravens among their own military group?
And why AI because you don't have to worry about the human element in your employees. And true while we are never privy to the contracts that bind these corporations to have to hire raven from global cortex only. In truth maybe they never wanted human ravens as they have feelings and thier own beliefs. An ai does as it is programmed to do expect when it goes haywire and tries to kill everyone, but hey think of the money we save.
@@armoredcorelore "except when it goes haywire" does they ever realize that everytime the AI goes haywire the fate of the entire humanity plust corporation always at the highest stake? nexus learn so bad from it and it doesn't even involve 9ball
As someone who played Armored Core 6 and starting binging Armored Core Lore(heh) ; the moment I heard the word "IBIS" be spelled out, my first though "Aw shit! Here we go again!"
Something interesting to keep in mind AC3 Controller was named "DOVE" in the Japanese version There is a theme that 3rd Gen AI AC are named after Birds, DOVE and IBIS respectively Although unlike Nineball the tyrannical AI both seem to show genuine care for humanity and only seem to malfunction on purpose
True using the name of a bird seen as a symbol of peace to keep the wars of corporation in check by meddling with them. Perhaps it creator thought this was the only way to have peace. As for ibis well it association with wisdom and knowledge perhaps it was named this because it was given all the knowledge it would need to protect its layard. But this is all just a guess as maybe the creators just like birds.
You know, I noticed something about these AI Controllers, they don't go on a rant or have a personality to say unlike the Nineball AI in the other timeline. It gives me a theory that whoever created the AIs, purposely made them to malfunction after sometime as possibly, a way to force humanity back to the surface after it has recovered. These AIs unleash their final protocols, opening up the surface or the area they were suppose to be defending. However, this would be all in naught as I would only assume that whoever created these AIs, thought that humanity would be united to overthrow these AIs, but it was only a mercenary under the payroll of corporations that would deal this final blow. Seems like history never changes, even when its another timeline.
@@armoredcorelore There, will always be an anomaly, something that challenge the status quo; something that just 'isn't part of the program' thats the message of hope these games have often tried to portray, so many foreshadowings to where our own real world society is heading in as Corporate Totalitarianism is silently rising.. An event similar to the National dismantlement war or Pax Economica could very well at some point occur in our world timeline.
@@armoredcorelore"there will always be ones who want to spread their wings and fly" that's why I love AC. I wish I could fly high away from all my troubles. A White Glint on a sea of clouds, coasting into the sunset.
I really love how evocative that name/idea is. Very 'forbidden forest'. "That's 'The Silent Line'. No AC, corporate or independent, has ever returned from there. We don't go there."
It is, plus it really helped with the build up while you played the game as you wondered what was beyond the silent line and when you got their it was very cool to find out what it was and the foe there.
My singular complaint with Silent Line is that we never got to see much of the second Layered. I wonder to myself what it must have looked like in there.
Yeah, if a remake were to be done today, that should be expanded upon. What happened in that Layered? What does it look like? Mind you, explaining how there would be time/space/facilities to rest and refit the Raven might take a bit of doing, but I sure have a lot of questions about IBIS's Layred.
Hearing the pain of the innocents lives were taken while on their transport as we stepping on them just to cause an attention to the security. Its more like a pain after each operation to be completed taking over excessive amount of my credits. Thanks for the explain glad to rely on you dude since,I mostly just having a overweight of confusion of whats going on with each armored core installment. Cant wait for the nexus.
I don't know the more i look at that missions the more i do feel a small bit of guilt in my heart. Still ah Nexus going to have to do a fresh playthrough of that.
I think ACFA should had take notes from this. Hearing people panicking and crying while Cradles fall from your hand would make the event more impacting.
I transferred my save from 3 to silent line. But my head cannon is it’s a different Raven who inherited the old Ravens stuff after the old Raven retired.
So the protagonist of this one basically gets paid to be a terrorist in one mission killing car loads of innocent civilians in the process.. Really paints the type of world this all takes place in. ...
@@armoredcorelore This was a different perspective the devs put the player in for this installment, & one i really didn't realize the weight of the actions of until i became an adult, playing as a child the severity of things like this easily go over your head but as a adult with a developed prefrontal-cortex 🧠 & living in era of mass shootings (specifically referencing to the school shootings we've witnessed these past few years) It really gives context as to the type of Raven the Silent Line Protaganist is. There is a clear border behind killing enemy combatants and killing innocents. In AC4 when you take out the Cradles with Old King, the game lets you know you've Clearly done something very 'wrong' and your actions have consequences when the other LYNX and your former operator confront you on it: you're more or less labeled a Lunatic by your peers and outcast: rightfully so in a certain context. Long story short, the SL raven definitely wouldn't count as a 'Hero' of the series like the other Protags in my opinion. It seems in SL the Raven is really working FOR corporate interest as opposed to against it: The entire plot revolves around serving the corps so they can get into the silent line, and continue their same old shenanigans of driving humanity to destruction for their own interest. An interesting morality shift to experience. ☕- 💡
Oh boy here we go, it's the (6)th ACL video I have on my watch later list, you're putting out quality content faster than I consume it, I'm going to have to write you a ticket for that Mr.
Armored Core Silent Line is probably my favorite in the entire AC3 Series/Timeline. There's just something so unique about it. So mysterious. Silent Line feels almost like a hidden gem because no one in the fan base seems to acknowledge its existence. Everyone fawns over Ninebreaker and Last Raven as the best games in the series where as Silent Line always seems to be left forgotten. Thanks for shining a light on this brilliant game and getting more people into the series in general. Cheers.
Thank you for your kind words and well i think there is some love for SL, on a bonus from a lore perspective it does a nice job of leaving the world open for nexus.
Another brilliant Armored Core Lore video. I think Silent Line has my favorite story out of the 3rd Gen games. It's just so digestible and entertaining.
Thank you for your kind words and it is. Mind you as others have said i would have liked to see the second layard more. Although we believe they all where built using the same idea, i wonder what differences that Ai made.
Yesss. Silent Line has to be one of my favorites. The game threw the whole kitchen sink at you, but it really gave a sense that IBIS wanted to protect us from what was past the Silent Line. For good reason too, given what happens following AC:SL Always thought it was a bit silly that nobody actually met with the AIO and just trusted them at face value, but I guess that’s the corporations for ya :v Thanks for another great lore vid ACLore!
Thanks Fudgy and it was really you think someone would have questioned this unknown group who was like yes please buy all this advanced AI and oh no refunds.
That is a very good detail explaining of the Armored core Silent line can I ask you a question can you make a video about Armored Core Orbit weapons I like to see you explain details about Orbit weapons and their function of the orbit weapons and the different types of orbit weapons? If you have the time and no pressure just do what you want to do in your video. :3
Thank you for your kind words and well i will add it to my to do list as always i like to take a look over a subject before i make a video about it. And well i may have to seek help with weapons.
This was my first Armored Core game, so nostalgia filter might be on, but I always felt like this was some of the best narrative and storytelling the franchise has done.
It’s very interesting considering most other people doesn’t that the name IBIS from AC6 is a callback from AC silent line despite many people who doesn’t know about AC silent then again who knows maybe a AC silent line remaster would get people interested considering the story and the gameplay is very good and they do have some similar elements but only time can tell right?
I think a remake would be nice, but then again i like to think with emulation as it is now. I think there is nothing wrong with playing these games on a pc if you can or the original hardware. I admit i do dislike this high pricing of ac games as they are games meant to be played not collect dust.
@@armoredcorelore True like game are meant to be enjoy and have fun not to collect dust like you say, but yeah I really enjoy the AC series and especially the lore and video like this really make things so much easier to understand so thank you for the these remarkable AC lore video and keep the good work as always my fellows raven comrade 👍🫡
Ah having just finished a playthrough of nexus, i will be honest and say its very unlikely due to the fact the raven was standing before them. The raven would have been bombarded with these drones and i think even if the pilot got out from a wreaked ac, they could never out run a drone.
3 & Silent Line have the best stories in Armored Core period Last Raven has a good story too, but all its 6 endings are sad. So many Ravens and people die. AC2 is decent too, but its more about stopping that madman Leos Klein
Thanks for posting! As much as I enjoy AC 3, I do think that Silent Line was superior. The game play was excellent, the storyline was on point, and the music was good (but not quite to the level of AC 3). But overall, it was a great entry into the series.
Thank you Shok and i have to say nice work on the latest track. Been listening to it on and off. SL certainly seems to hold a special place in a lot of people hearts which is neat.
SL was near perfect, weapon balancing and part balancing would’ve made this game superior to any other entries to the franchise. I enjoyed SL very much, endless summers spent on it.
your videos arent bad dont get me wrong, but its incredibly frustrating these are literally the only videos i can find on learning the story of these games. id LIKE to be able to watch all the cinematics and cutscenes and read the missions, but that does not exist. theres only people posting things saying its the story when its really a full playthrough, or all cutscenes, when its only the cinematics (why is that even a problem... dumb). i just want to [re]learn this organically dangit. the cutscenes in this franchise are actually pretty interesting half the time, but nope, doesnt exist
Ok so what you want is a video that contains all the cinematics, the cut scenes and the mission briefings of each ac game. I guessing emails would fall into this too as a lot of the story is told through them too.
@@armoredcorelore the cines could be cut as those are easy to find separate, but there are 0 videos on any of the games in the entire world on the cutscenes / mission briefings / emails (any one of them not a combo). your videos are the closest there is without watching full playthroughs. they suffice but it sucks when you know the cutscenes can be pretty entertaining on their own instead of - no offense, listening to someone describe it all. this is nothing against u it just sucks it doesnt exist at all
@@armoredcorelore yea i could see that especially something liek this as its literally something that doesnt exist. you kinda already covered the area so for u personally i imagine it would be a drag to do (beyond the norm)... but still something i bet when you find something like that is prolly tempting to fill that niche as a creator - like OH there is literally no videos on that in the entire world huh...? AND its in my wheelhouse... hrmmmmmmmm tempting tempting... edit: also sorry it had nothing to do with your videos, i just used one as a place to vent this since its the closest next thing
So as my missing teaser was going to say i plan to take a break this week to catch up with some translations and work on the next big video nexus. I will return the week after with nexus and then plan on covering the corporations before hitting last raven. I think this is the best way to do this, but we'll have to see. Thank you for reading and have a good week.
Hmm, now that I sit back and think about it, maybe the plan wasn't to take out the corporation but maybe to take out the Raven's since they are not corporation loyal and the A.I calculated that their exist will be a problem in the long run for humanity. Just combining 5th gen lore with this lore. Your videos always gets me thinking, so great job as always!
Its possible the ai was very flexible in that way always thinking, always trying to be one step ahead. And thanks Love Ark, one day i will get to 5th gen lore and then who knows I'll retire ha ha.
@@armoredcorelore Considering that you've made this channel very comparable to the Vaatividya channel in terms of becoming a stable piece for the Armored Core community, I can see you possibly living off the fat of the land for a good bit. But even then, I see you transitioning a bit to allow for a bit more creative freedom; especially since you have the following that would allow for the change without too much fuss from the YT algorithm. Whatever comes with the days, I shall watch from my company position. ^_^
@@love_ark Ha ha well who knows what the future holds and well i don't know what I'll do after I'm done with AC. But what i do know is very happy to see all the new ac videos, it makes me smile.
Ok I’ve just finished this game it was fun but a bit confusing I guess nexus will actually tell me what’s behind the silent line and what happened to the other layad
I've often wondered, did the AC3 generation games not recognize the analog sticks and control the same as AC2 and AC2AA? I ended up missing out on the AC3 era of games.... :/
I'm wondering if you'll do, or if I missed, lore on V and Verdict Day by the time 6 drops. Maybe its just time passed and translation errors, but I didn't understand any of that shit. Or a video on Hari from 4. I can't help feel like there was something missing in translation on his story. ...And I still haven't finished Verdict Day. I should do that before 6 drops.
Its in the works for v and verdict day and i will try to cover it before ac6 i hope. As for Hari yes there is his unused dialogue and the hari story from a magazine to look at (You can even read some on Hari's wiki) but he may have to wait on my go back too list to get a video.
No sadly the program i use to render my videos did not like it. As such i had to remove the clip and render it without. I will make a pinned comment to address what this next, however i just wanted this video out ha ha.
I know to be honest this video was a bit of a pain during the rendering process, so it was left out and the program seem to like it. Never the less i will make a pinned comment on what next weeks will be about.
"However" "However" "However" "However" "However" "However" Dude, please. I enjoy your vids, but PLEASE find a way to replace your constant "However"s.
