That pretty much sums it up.

Remember, he was kind of made to be reminiscent of Nineball. White Glint's rank is 9 in For Answer.

Line Ark is safe, luckily because another faction managed to catch the attention of their opponent

I just remembered hearing this and it's been 2 years so yeah

Actually no, what I just said is a route in which you side with line Ark being paired with White Glint against OTSD- whatever his name was and CUBE, although White Glint was destroyed, Anatolia's Mercenary was said to be alive so it's all good. BUT if you choose to side with the league then that's a whole different ball game and White Glint had to turn beast mode after being screwed up so badly by You and ODSTARVA.

This is true thanks to a translation error and it would have been interesting to see her pilot a next.

yeah she says she is the operator of white glint and people mistake that for pilot. would of been less confusing if she said " I am the operator for the pilot of white glint"

She probably would suck as a next pilot. It’s said that AMS capability is a huge part of being a successful next pilot or else you fight like that one guy from the mission where Kasumi disses his piloting when facing against strayed.

I don't think her dad will let her considering that the prototypes that he made destroyed their pilots, which is why only Lynx grade pilots can pilot them. A lot of Ravens weren't able to become Lynx and those who can were called Originals (namely because they fought in the Dismantling War). Strayed can be considered to be one, if he isn't THE Joshua (low chance that he's alive but that would explain Strayed's origins and how he is mute and why he went for genocide).

My god when i first played this game i thought Fiona was the pilot also! LOL!!

Thinker was actually Joshua's theme. The raven's theme was Panther. You can hear hints of his theme in Remember.

Ah yes the rush of speed is quite a thrill.

Do that, throw on a pair of big bazookas, the extra back boosters, and pocket laser blades and you have my favourite design in 4 Answer.

In our hearts and with deep sea fish that love you forever.

Thank for your kind words. More is coming and the list of video to be made is only growing too.

@@armoredcorelore kinda perfect timing since ac6 was anounced :D

I would make a joke about plot armour here but we all know anime loves its plot armour. Yes the links are there between the fates of the two only less princesses and shouting. Still i jest it would have been cool to have more link ark missions maybe a link ark ending too.

Thank you and I'm glad to hear you liked my little comment.

Fiona is still alive, she’s managing line Ark and getting them properly prepared with the League being distracted by ORCA. As for Kasumi, probably still alive smashing strayed

Well there is no evidence at this point. But if I had to speculate here, Kasumi retires from being a next pilot some time after the Lynx war when the corporation she worked for merged to for interior union allowing her to do so during this process. After some time either low on cash or missing the mercenary life she finds work as an operator either for the league or collard now the under name Serene Haze which is how she and strayed meet. As for the hero of the lynx war and Fiona it possible that during their time away they formed link ark. It never stated in game but Fiona seems to be the one doing a lot of the talking for Line ark and there is nothing to say she is not part of the line ark leadership team, who with the hero rallied some people of earth together or aided someone like an old government minster to form link ark. Still its that missing bit of history that keeps me wanting to look more at the AC lore.

acvd shows white glint 3.0 as the N-WGIX. the pilot is even supposed to be a clone of joshua o'brian

That does kind of explain why this White Glint evokes the image of an angel with wings

That was my favorite AC in terms of looks. The guns that looked like wings, the emblem, it was awesome. N.O. Had some Gundam vibes

That's fair, everyone's got a favourite.

Thank you for your encouragement. I will do my best.

Armored Core is about to have a revival, that's for sure.

Ngl I've been binging his videos

You could say it was the new meeting the old.

@@armoredcorelore that's a good way of putting it

Sombrero is always the answer

Thank you very much for your kind words. Oh see you have my favourite ac game in there formula front, i love the sport side of the game, the idea these ac are not simply machines of war, but instead entertainment.

​Formula front was my introduction into the series and it was really cool to see how the world of armoured core would perform in times of piece

@@Zamu273 Yeah, it feels nice to see a peaceful world not tainted by war

Its a pleasure fellow raven and fingers crossed on this end.

Some of us LYNX tread the path the Ravens once did... we live by our Cores and die by our Cores.

I say why not. Go with it!

And thank for your kind praise.

Neat to know.

Man knows how to create a world.

@@armoredcorelore despite not being interested in mechs, he did AC right.

It is a very fromsoft thing to do. I guess it depends on what sources we take, as the book armored core a new order for nexts hints that line ark has a lynx, but lacks a next for them which is speculated this could be white glints pilot. The game hints could be taken as he was killed in action or is alive however his next is done for as such he is powerless without it therefore line ark is finished.

Love you forever. All are as you're thinking over Out of space, where someone waits there Sound of jet, they played it for out.

Already on my list to cover. I'm not done with AC4 and for answer just yet.

@@armoredcorelore Cool. Looking forward to it.

Thank you. I will try my best.

Glad to hear this. Hope you enjoy.

Its a nice theory.

That's fair, i can only really give my opinion on the weapon during my time with them and i know others have experimented a lot more with them. So let me thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject.

They got nerfed a few times they used to be op

Well i hope you gain the knowledge you seek or simple have fun watching. As i think ac6 is looking to be set in a new time with maybe some nods back to its past games.

Have you played on 1.0 regs?

@@warrantyV0IDED yes I have .

If we are talking about N-WGIX/v, the craft shares similar designs of white Glint along with other nexts like the Type Lahire and 063AN. I don't think N-WGIX is White Glint, i think its a mash up of parts the foundation managed to recover or study and made into what they believed to be an unbeatable machine of war.

@@armoredcorelore thanks men

We love him and his wacky story.

Ah the very much debated black glint which is one of the items that could connect AC4 to AC5.

Good job. It is no an easy task on hard or normal so good work lynx!

It is, but i have no room in my house for it ha ha.

Again thank you i will never turn down a compliment and i am glad to read my voice suits this type of video otherwise i maybe in trouble.

I'll have to give them a go. Thank you.

@@armoredcorelore It seems all the regs after 1 nerfed wg into the ground.

@@eathr349 Just booting up the ps3 now to have a go. It been a while since i changed my regs.

We'll be getting to them i promise. I just like to wrap up AC4 and ACFA before moving on.

@@armoredcorelore yea no problem thanks again for the video, I love this saga and the lore is incredibly good. Thanks a lot

I think 10 years is a long enough wait for anyone.

@@armoredcorelore ikr!

Yeah sure.

I say this, I welcome all to catch up and enjoy ac. That is all.

this comment is pretentious and idiotic and only seeks to draw yourself attention and i find that feeble and pathetic

Its very possible for the second white glint as line ark only had the one lynx however for Joshua they gave him a gun and a blade and said have at it.

Yes and yes. The goal is to cover the whole series, but i like to cover all i can before i move on.

Thank you and me too. I desire more lore.

It would be neat, but i think we'll have to see what the game offers us.

Still a good channel name.

Ah well i tried, but thank you too for the kind words.

You are correct about the weight in regulations and yes it was decided that for the lore videos i would use the regulation the game came with.

Noted and you mean like the lock on function in ac4 which would lock onto a next and only break if the next managed to get out of sight.

No problem and I'm sure you'll be able to get the ac looking like white glint. I mean the ac community has done it in the ps1 games so i think it can be done.

I know. Weird right?

@@armoredcorelore Weird and so cool

I will. There are only a few more videos to do for AC4 and ACFA and then I'll move on to another gen.

Well while White Glint may lay forever below the waters, it is suggested that Anatolia's mercenary may have been pulled out.

@@armoredcorelore I hope so, they deserve a happy ending together at least.

thinker reference

Keep an eye out for the next video. It may have what your seeking.

@@armoredcorelore Sweet! I look forward to it!

Indeed how ac love to call back to older gens.

Thank you for you kind support.

Sh'up Hustler One. We've all beaten you, and we'll do it again in the next game (if it ever gets made..).

@@Toshinben bitch I know you miss me when I'm gone

Me too, i love the lore but i could use practise. Still i know BusterTBM managed to do it in Armored core last raven, hellhound13th managed to do it in AC1 and in FA very much so with both white glints.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you for kinds word. Could i ask what you mean by noob videos? I am just curious.

@@armoredcorelore I didn't look through all videos yet but maybe a video that introduces what the game is, little bit of history. I get confused on the Armored Core game timeline

Thank you. Yes the time line of Armored core is quite the topic. We have theory videos here on youtube and the community itself has spilt views on the subject. I might throw my own thoughts on the matter sometime. But if you would like another persons view on what ac is about and a little bit of history, I would suggest checking out above average gaming a channel who is currently doing an overview of each ac game.

@@armoredcorelore ah sweet, thank you! :-D and more power to yah

Interesting. I do all recording on default regulations, but i will try them out on the other regs.

Thank you for your kind word.

Me too!

Oh tell me about it, he certainly lived up to his legend.

Yes AC6 does seem a little lost. But i would always recommend anyone to play the older games, they offer something many games at the time and dare i say now don't offer. Plus they are still fun to play and from a lore point its neat to see how fromsoftware kept close to thier corporation ruled world idea with each series.

Correct the pilot of the White Glint we see in ACFA is Anatolia's mercenary as this explains why Fiona is his operator still. If you get a chance do check out the interview with her from the armored core book a new order for nexts, its posted in the image gallery of the white glint wiki page in English. Its a short, but good read.

I can see why. An Ac that uses customs parts with the head looking like a TYPE-HOGIRE's head and the whole craft having similar design to the 03-AALIYAH. However different universes separates these two crafts.

@@armoredcorelore Having played all AC games except 5, I can confidently say I had a harder time against some versions of Stinger shredding me with that blade and speed than I did against White Glint, with the latter all I did was spam chainguns and close in with a Moonlight after the energy explosion

@@sigendymion I too had hard time with Stinger, but the again i still struggling with White Glint sometimes.

=)

It share similar designs to white glint with it looks, vanguard overbooster and assault armour. So far in lore wise we have towers that have technology from a past war that ruined the earth. This is theorized to be the lynx war so it might be where the foundation got it design from and the idea that its Pilot J is cloned from pilots with great skills one perhaps being the original white glint pilot Joshua. However there are for and against points to N-wgix's connection to white glint and it does come down to if you believe the AC4 and FA are linked. As we do have people who say no its not and other that say it does.

You are correct, the player is the mercenary in AC4 who becomes White Glint which is why he can't speak and Fiona does the talking for him. However for lore purposes the player character is given a name like for AC4 it is Anatolia's Mercenary while in ACFA the player is known as Strayed.

Reg 1.0.

Huh. Those Salines melt nexts on 1.0 last I remember

It certainly would be interesting to watch from a point of clone vs humans and if the tactics of pilots changed over time. Plus the famous white glint vs black glint battle is a dream battle. But i think we also have to take into account that Joshua was never really on the same level of skill as either Anatoila mercenary, Staryed or the lone mercenary. Each one performed deeds far beyond what even an expectational pilot was expected do and poor joshu was a great pilot but he never could surpass them. J i feel is the same, he may have been able to enhance his skills, but he was still only a copy of Joshua who perhaps was missing the human element that made joshu a great pilot

@@armoredcorelore during Joshua and Anatolia Merc's time together they were a force to be reckoned with but I also knew it was probably more on the fact that Merc was a crack shot with every AC's Merc Piloted. I also came to question why they chose to go with Joshua's Battle Data instead of STRAYED's or Lone's since those two were more prominent than Joshua in terms of Combat and they probably couldn't get their hands on Merc's data given the guy's mostly running unrecorded missions.

So yeah overall, it's a matter of whether J is simply comprised of Joshua's Data or a splice of many other famous Ravens and Lynx but if it's simply Joshua's, Anatolia's Mercenary would have the upper hand given their machinery only differs in firepower and a little mobility ( that black glint can spray and dodge I tell you that).

What made Joshua so special was his humanity beyond all else.

(Yes it can tell me about it, i had to play the game again for some research) Still you do make a good point about battle data since they have one lynx, but not the other that killed him. For anatolia's mercenary and strayed there are a few ideas like we could point to thier operators being the ones to wipe such data, if strayed turned into the monster who was out to destroy all its possible when he was defeated that such data was wiped to prevent another monster being born.

I hope so, I'd like some new lore to study and game to play.

There kinda has been already, just a lot of fans dont know the true history of what happened to the series... AC4 was the first title Miyazaki directed and it was considered a flop. From Soft immediately pulled Miyazaki from the AC team. The devs who made AC2- Last raven then came back and made AC4 For answer, to try to save the series. Then when they were told the direction of AC5 they disagreed, and wanted to continue based off For Answer. Because of this split, the biggest directors, AC designers, and 3/4 of the dev team quit From Soft to make their own company and continue on as the series should have. This is also why we havent had any AC titles in over a decade. This series that they made is called DAEMON X MACHINA and is the true soul successor to the series. So many new features and features from old games....even fully destructable limbs, and the ability to salvage lost limbs or weapons off of other slain mechs. White Glint eveb lives on, and is currently called RADIANT GLEAM.

@@lukefinley6660 Please don’t even compare DxM to AC. That immature anime game with big robots is not a worthy opponent.

@@yellow13_ Yes it truely is. I agree the anime style is different, but i dont think youd, or I, have any clue what they mightve had to go through, when quitting From Soft and having to leave almost all assets and copyrighted materials behind. To then have to start over development wise from scartch. Maybe that was their only option for what they were working with at the time? I totally feel that the cell shaded graphics are better than nothing, and it still looks great on PC for a Switch port. I agree that it doesnt feel as good as AC For Answer did, but DXM is 100x better than AC5 or VD ever was. And those are the last AC titles from FROM Soft that bombed so hard, they havent touched or mentioned the series by name for a decade now. The combat is amazing, and feels like a very nice blend of For Answer and older style AC. The desctructable limbs and salvaging limbs adds more depth than previous entries, along with more parts, enjoyable farming, and a very refreshing randomly generated dungeon mode with tough bosses and good loot farming is something the series has needed for 20 years now. Also, the energy system has been revamped again, like For Answer did with Kojima only better balanced, and it feels like a truely updated and more diversified Kojima system, with swapping between Normal, Flight, Dps, and Shield mode on the fly adds a much better level of pilot skill than human plus, or Kojima ever did. Not to mention, no other AC game has ever really tried ANY form of endgame loop or replayable content. In the older AC titles, it was mostly only replaying the same missions for S rank or trying bew builds, with no diversity in missions really. In some of the later titles, like AC4 and onward, there was PVP and some mission replaying but thats it. Yes DXM has some large over the top bosses, but thats something the series has almost ALWAYS had back to ps1 days. They are well designed and have multiple stages of difficulty, all with their own unique weapons and parts based off of them that you can farm. Even just off of bosses is over 100 parts by themselves, not to mention getting to farm thousands of other parts as well. Its a good endgame loop, with Challenging bosses at the highest difficulties, and a randomly generated dungeon mode for farming parts for new builds or making already existed builds even stronger. Not to mention, every single part is very tuneable, with almost all stats being manipuable. 2 players could have the same parts on both builds, but could still have very different stats because of this.

@@lukefinley6660 Hmmm idk man, the characters were so cringe. Quitting FromSoftware is not a good enough excuse for that. The combat actually... I'm glad you liked it, but I didn't. Like, at all. Every weapon felt the same, just changing parameters. Parts? They didn't seem to have noticeable effects, like, the starter mech was aleady good enough which is totally not the case in Armored Core. Graphics were ok (functional, for the Switch utter lack of power I guess), i liked the art direction more. Very cool looking mechas, too bad most of it was close to useless. The walking out of the mech bit made no sense to me, just a plot extention in the gameplay, but it was completely out of place. Also, the controls were not really my favorite, but that's subjective. The screen is way too often cluttered with cubes and glares and stuff, wasn't too fond of that; the missions were not too good too, but Armored Core's ones weren't brilliant either gotta say. And goddamn that "mode selector" was hard to use effectively, the UI in general was too small. I promise i'm not old, i'm 24 lol Overall, the game was meh imho, only part i really enjoyed was mecha design.

Oh well i hope you enjoy then.

So people have said.

Silly legends. I have surpassed you!

I believe this is regulation 1.4, i would later go on to make sure all videos like this would use the default reg which is why the numbers are different in this video.

@@armoredcorelore ah I see. At most I only have reg 1.20, but I personally play 1.0, nice video.

@@Matrix2Strata017 Thank you very much and i do like the default for lore wise as i think that is how its meant to be.

Neat all these videos however are done on reg1 just as a lore thing for me.

Well the game did make quite the deal about it almost steering the player to think this way.

@@armoredcorelore You could say that about every plot twist ever conceived.

@@anthonywalker6268 That's true. Maybe then it best to say we didn't look deep enough into the story like with the chats between orca and collard mercs.

No J is more a clone of different pilots as for NGWIX i take this answer from the armored core v the after book page 104. It is a refurnished version of an air craft that once boasted amazing combat power in the great war and was given to J.

I play on a ps3 with an elgato capture card for footage. But i'm trying out the emu too in my space time.

I mean we could say rusty or raven is the white glint of AC6. I would lean more with Rusty after his coming back to fight again trick with his ac.

Thank you.

Me too. Maybe a bit too much.

I am sure you are not. But your going to have to be more detailed in what you believe i miss pronounced.

@@armoredcorelore sorry for the wording (it sounds too hostile now I look at it again), just the parts that has weird names like ALIYA and such, thought I could find some clues on how to actually pronounce them right on Japanese wiki but they don't have katakana translations so yea....

@@ohdeer1823 Honestly your wording is fine. My pronunciation of certain parts and next is already quite known to be wobble. Bur i only hope to keep improving.
