Warframe | Grineer, The Remainder of Humanity 

Correction at 16:02 little duck does in fact reference the comic. Thank you scribes for bringing that to my attention. This does bring up a question though. Do you think this information causes a plot hole considering what happens in the comic vs. the game? Imo It does but I'd like to hear what you guys think.

8:57 orokin: *celebrating their victory over the old war* Natah/lotus: the time has come execute order 66

Holy shit, a massive well put together video from a small channel? My favorite!

16:02 correction. Little duck makes a subtle nod towards it in one of her greeting lines. Something like: "Been seeing a lot more of your kind around, since a certain incident with blind girl and a void gate". but otherwise, yeah, nothing.

One of the best warframe lore vids I ever seen. If DE did this it'd be such a massive plot twist.

Aren't the Corpus and the Zariman crew NORMAL HUMANS? They are the humanity!

I remain unconvinced. The Corpus were around during the time of the Orokin, and the Orokin were the top/educated caste in a caste system. They genetically altered themselves to be superior to others. I haven't found anything that mentions that the Corpus were changed by them. The Corpus is also not a species but a culture and religion that arose during the time of the Orokin. Even if we suppose that 10,000 years has passed since the prime Orokin era, that's not enough time for natural evolution to have taken place with the Ostrons nor the Corpus to make them into anything that wouldn't be considered human. The Ostron being short isn't anything surprising, there are groups of genetically linked people who are shorter on average (such as Asians) and others who are very tall (Scandanavians), and they are all humans. Since the Ostrons is just one genetic group, a small town really, its not surprising that they're all similarly short. Additionally you could argue that the huge difference between the Corpus and Ostrons in height may also be down to the fact that the Ostrons constantly live under the pressures of Earth's gravity, while the Corpus do not; they live harsher lives as well with more physical labor. If we look at the members of Vox Solaris they all appear quite human as well. They wouldn't identify themselves as Corpus (and in fact call the Corpus "the tax men") but they certainly were born into those colonies. The robot bits on them are from body parts that are or were taken as collateral for their debt to keep them from running away, not some genetic modification. Due to their stated, and obvious genetic manipulation the Grineer are the furthest faction from being human (currently alive in Warframe, the Orokin are arguably further but after a certain someone dies they're all gone). I liked the video overall, it's well put together, but the very premise feels based on a lack of understanding of the other factions, rather than a detailed understanding of the Grineer.

Greener were designed, from fragments of human DNA and artificially designed DNA, like a super soldier from 40k, only for building, not for war, and not born and modified, but created. they look like humans, but I would call them a different species. Orokin, those who achieved something, genetically transformed, moved from body to body, their bodies were human, their minds were not. and humans, corpus, cestus, independent colonies, more or less modified. Standard corpus warriors can be compared to greener, except that the corpus technology only allows for indoctrination and cloning. so apart from the void, infected and sentient, everyone is humans, race humans or more original humans, but greener are the furthest from this concept

16:15 little duck mentions her in dialogue when interacting

I mean if i get to wear such a cool mask and use the Gorgon i'm all for it.

Warframe lore is some of the deepest in gaming. It doesnt get the attention it deserves.

Video was so detailed i had to subscribe just cuz of your effort alone man. Great vid

Sorry for not getting to this sooner. Great video. The humans of Warframe is definitely one of the obscure details of the game early on. Especially compared to other races. Please keep up the good work. Love the vids

This was AMAZING! Subscribed! I hope you keep making these

You did great. I never was able to fully understand the differences in factions and what they stood for. I guess I didn’t pay enough attention early on. Refreshing to see some new information that was out there not being touched on. Excellent resources used and excellent formatting for the story and its purpose. Subscribed for further content, my only gripe is I want to keep my headphones in but the audio quality of your mic holds me back. I watched it on my tv and only had few moments that the mic creeped too high. Might be my settings idk. Nonetheless 10/10 video!!

Awesome video!

Ive been a warcrame player since 2018 with over 1200 hours and this is a terrific video. I just subbed and i look forward to your future work!!! Excellent!!!

I'm waiting for it to come to Android so I can play at work while I sit behind the counter.

Literally said, "man, that was really good" when the video ended. well done, look forward to more of these?

*spoiler further down It's surprising to me how many people don't know that the orokin are humans that developed a god complex and started messing with DNA to the point where they made the other races from there own DNA to create slaves and the blue colour we see the entrati and Balas have are form the infested plauge (I'm guessing on the blue part) but the only non infect orokin we meet are the hoarfast, loid, grandfather and the tenno

GLORY TO KLE KWEENS! TRRENGKL TO KLE GRUNEEGR!

11 mins in and convinced me to reinstall the game

The few Orokin we see have had body modifications, but they are human.

could ask the question how much human is left of the Tenno? we know their handshake altered them but are they now their own species? Honestly after the war within are we even fully corporal beings or are Tenno/Drifters partially energy.

One question does that include Clem from a man of few words?

Think about found the original Grineer. The original template

I never knew the Grustrag Three were part of the Suicide Squad. Also how the fuck did you die to Kela with a Dante?

i thought orokin were humans

Great video, but next time plz make your voice recording a bit louder

I fail to understand how the Corpus and Ostrons aren’t human, you say they’ve been genetically altered but so have the Grineer? More so than both the Corpus and Ostrons. For the Pstrons your case is their height, but not only do short people exist but you show taller Ostrons in the video, height variation is real and it is possible it may have leaned slightly in one direction lr the other but that’s it snd more likely than the Orokin wasting their time on genetically altering the Ostron people to be shorter when the Orokin were already taller due to their own genetic manipulation. As for the Corpus, there’s nothing that suggests they aren’t human, if we’re talking lifespans then you’ve failed to consider the vast improvements of medical tech, the Corpus constantly go after Orokin tech so if ANYONE in the system has the medical tech to beat back old age and its issue it would be the Corpus, Darvo may be older than the current human lifespan but that doesn’t make him not human. Lastly the Grineer, yes they are human, but nex to the Warframes and the Orokin they’re the most genetically modified people of the system, loyalty genes for example, that isn’t a human trait and yet the Grineer are still considered to be human. Your theory that the Grineer are the original human template is a fun one, but I doubt it personally, nothing actually suggests it to be the case and why would the Orokin use the original human template as their slaves but alter the average joe? Because they didn’t, it’s the other way around. I don’t even want to go into what the Tenno are, thiugh I’ll say prior to the Zariman Incident they would’ve been human and I fail to see how they wouldn’t be, this would mean the Drifter was human up until they were pulled into the deal. Heck the Dax were even human, yes modified but so were the Grineer. If I’m wrong about any of this, please do correct me! But provide evidence, show me where it says the Ostrons are genetically modified beyond their height, show me how the Corpus aren’t human just because they have better medical tech and tell me how being gentically modified makes them not human when that’s exactly what the Grineer are. I’m not looking for any fights and I’m not trying to put anyone down, I’m just confused and fail to see how the Grineer are the only humans left when they just plainly aren’t, help me to understand if I’ve missed something here.
