I really liked this theory video a lot! You know, this kinda makes me think, companies suddenly IGNORING the old tech seems very out of character for money hungry companies. So how about this, what if a possible future AC game will take place after Silent line, you would play as the raven who went out of his way to ensure that old tech would not be used by the wrong people anymore, this could end up with the player blowing himself up to destroy all old tech that is left. Orrrr perhaps you accept the company who was trying to dig up the old tech, and here's the twist... the company you then work with is Navis! Though, I dont think Navis really had an AC working for them in Nexus, so hard to pinpoint who was the player then,

The motto of the story is leave the really advanced tech alone. Also (in most cases) screw corporations. Got it.

Well taking a whack at it myself: Armored Core 4 lead-up: As Muscle Tracer tech leads to Armored Cores (aka normal's) the cost of the armies of nation states becomes prohibitive and their sizes shrink. The private sector (AKA Military-Industrial Complex) becomes more and more powerful. Nation states tiny armed forces of hideously expensive AC's and MT's scale down to levels where as the nation states become more and more a problem to their own MIC's, it becomes potentially possible for corporations to use elite mercenaries to combat them. But building up the force for an actual national dismantlement war is impossible because of how many normal pilots you would need. Then Kojima tech comes around, the first few NEXT prototypes come about and while the nation states drool over the possibilities, the corporations prep for the National Dismantlement War. Which as we know ended in a very short amount of time. Pax Ecenomica ensues. Plans get so big that terraforming equipment is deployed to Mars, potentially with a limited population to keep things going. Armored Core 4 occurs: Despite the issues with Kojima tech being the reason they took out the nation states to start with, the corporations spiral into their own world war equivalent and KP tech is used ever more regularly. Attempts to enhance humans to resist KP exposure build the foundation for Human Plus to come later. As things go fully to hell, some people try to flee to the Mars project. The Assault Cells end the space race rapidly and isolate Mars and Earth from each other. Armored Core For Answer: With most of the world now in ruins due to a combination of KP tech overuse and the Assault Cell's cutting off space, the events we see play out. It doesn't even matter which ending it is, the arms forts are destroyed, the cradles crash to earth and humanity rejects/loses KP tech. 80-100 years ensues. Armored Core 5: What's left of humanity starts to put itself together into something like nation states, then stumble onto some of the best tech from late AC4 era. You can guess how that turns out. The Foundation tries AI and uploading along with background control of people to try and prevent another and final tragedy as mafia style corporations come into power. The Towers, holding truly scary tech start being dug up and employed en mass. Armored Core Verdict Day: Following this mess, some of the more sane foundation members realize this only ends one way and propose a two part system to keep humanity around and solve this recurring problem. During the last days before the great calamity, a final attempt to end war is the creation of Justice (The assault cells having long since failed or been destroyed by now) but it's hacked and goes into berserk fire before it falls dormant for lack of targets. Remnants of humanity survive in Layered, run by Dove and the replica Layered run by IBIS The Foundation destroys everything it can find on KP tech. The terraforming tech originally intended for Mars is set up to fix the earth, but it's going to be a long wait. A great deal of time passes. Armored Core 1,MOA,PP/3/Silent Line: When the two Layered were set up, the plans to keep 'rogue agents' in check varied. Dove used the Ravens Nest and Nine Ball. IBIS used a more primitive equivalent of what we might recognize as Pulverisers. Data on Nine Ball was shared to some degree between Dove and IBIS, until the intentional faults in Dove started to wear it down and IBIS cut communications as planned. (It's possible this data was shared with a mirror system on the Mars colony.) IBIS would run it's Layered until people stopped it or the surface was fully fixed, Dove would eventually break down to force humanity to deal with running it's own affairs. Nine Ball was never instructed to stop defending Dove or accept Dove was broken, so as it falls apart Nine Ball starts killing anyone who postulates the truth. Eventually Dove is destroyed, Nine Ball's local platforms are broken and humanity starts poking into the surface. Silent Line ensues and IBIS is destroyed. Project Phantasma follows up on Human Plus melding of people and machines, but is destroyed. Nine Ball, when it boots from a backup, resumes it's regulatory duty as 'just the best AC pilot', until Klien destroys it and learns what it was set to do. Armored Core Nexus: The IBIS equivalent of Mars's Disorder units, the Intracinine facility's Unknowns, nearly fully activates on Earth. It's halted, despite a partial copy/ equivalent of NIne Ball being deployed, but the incident hints to Klien about what might wait on Mars. How much or little involvement Klien has is unclear, that the world is devastated is clear. Armored Core 2/AA: Humanity takes to space, following up on the limited data of the Mars project. Klien specifically wants to know what happened to the people who fled there, since Mars is dead but habitable. (Basically we can presume they mirrored what happened on earth and the disorder units, destroyed them all.) Klien loses his mind at the thought humanity will destroy itself and tries his plan to destroy those on Mars. Either he wins and it's done with, or humanity stops him and he's wrong. He loses. Armored Core Last Raven: Corporations refuse to stop poking the proverbial AI bear, provoking the Raven War. The Pulverisers wake up and by the end of the mess Earth is devastated again, but the last of the old AI and the last link to Kojima Particle tech is broken. However, the Last Raven is an appropriate title as the Earth government doesn't need mercenaries. The era of Mercenaries piloting powerful mechs that started with the development of the first Armored Cores ends here. The machines have emotional resonance with the population and refined AI tech leads to sport competition being the last use for all this tech. (Which doesn't rule out some idiot discovering KP tech and not thinking it through again.) I'd say we have space for what happened on Mars to setup the Disorder/Intracinine/Phobos Weapon thing at the very least. All kinds of crazy semi-bio tech potentially.

The new armoured core trailer brought me here

I never considered a third split. I always assumed that Ninebreaker and Formula Front were part of the more civilized society that exists in the same universe as Nexus and Last Raven. Like all societies there's bound to be people who are very well-off and can afford these luxuries while the world burns around them.

This was fun. I'll be interested in how AC6 will shake up the timeline. The trailer already hinted a system or even several system spanning apocalypse. It could be something like 4->5->1->2->6 then 3. It'd make it all one timeline, while adding space to the mix making it so that you aren't necessarily on earth for 3. Or, 4->5->6 with 1->2 being solar system and 3 being in another system. The possibilities of the shake up are fun to theory craft about.

as a kid my understanding of the story was essentially, "everything sucks, let's kill each other with mechs!"

AC is back baby

There are some interesting ideas here, but it raises A LOT of questions, and there are some revisions that need to be made. The idea of NB and DOVE existing both at the same time is something I've never explored, but here's my idea + some additions: AC4-VD is obvious, and the ORCA ending is canon. However, in ACV, Chief and Carol mentioned the idea of an AI program to watch over humanity, and the timeline splits into two paths from here. If the Lone Mercenary destroys the Foundation's weapons, Chief and Carol will have enough time to create Nine-Ball. If the Lone Mercenary fails to destroy them, Chief and Carol will instead quickly create DOVE as a placeholder and the Nine Breaker simulation in case another of the Foundation's weapons was unearthed. The former is AC1-AC2AA, the latter is AC3-LR. The reason why Nine Breaker uses generation 3.5 parts is because some time after the creation of the 3.5 gen parts in between SL and NX, an engineer found the simulation tucked inside a hard drive and modified it to use a more relevant set of things to train new Ravens. It's also worth noting that Formula Front exists in it's own universe unlike every other game.

AC2 AA: Mars is haunted and all by AC4 Bio Weapons, but we managed to survive AC Formula Front: AC's are now Circuit Fighters Last Raven: *Why are we still here, just to suffer*

Defeating the final boss in last rave might have well been a darks souls boss

Welcome back Raven

To get a better idea of what AC series is about I recommend the following videos, specially for newcomers and veterans who have not played one in a while (besides this one): - Was it really good? Armored Core from Josh Strife Plays. - The Armored Core series - A Newcomer's Journey by Writing for Games. - Armored Core Retrospective (The history of FromSoftware) by Aesir Aesthetics. - The most recent video by Vaati Vidya about AC.

One of the better theories I've come across, good job.

Nice theory, it is fairly similar to mine actually. The only real difference is that I believe Chief and Carol created Nine-Ball/The Controller depending on whether or not the Lone Mercenary destroys the Foundation's weapons or not. If they are destroyed, then Chief and Carol have enough time to create Nine-Ball (the complete program mentioned in the ending of V). However if they aren't destroyed, Chief and Carol have to take things into their own hands and creates the Controller to watch over humanity until humanity and the surface recovers. Unfortunately, humanity somehow screws everything up, and destroys the Controller and IBIS (who is possibly Carol, but it doesn't have to be). However, humanity thought it wasn't trying hard enough, and decides to uncover a Tower filled with the Foundation's weapons A.K.A. The Internecine. Formula Front and Nine-Breaker are basically just alternate universes. Now in AC1, all the Foundation's weapons are destroyed or deactivated and Nine-Ball is trying to maintain order, and you know what happens from there. My guess of what happen to Chief and Carol is that Nine-Ball just deletes them because they are no longer needed, but it could be other things as well.

Pretty cool. Combining Nine-Ball and Dove is nice idea!

Glad I found this channel. I didn't understand much aside from "Haha, robot shoot stuff". Now I understand lots thanks to you and think a lot more.

appreciate the time put into this. good work.

What if Armored Core 6 happened after the Orca ending of Armored Core For Answer, where they all leave earth and colonize space. That would be crazy.

Damn, Potato also a fan of AC, youtube brought me here, good times.

I always interpreted it as so much time passes between the usage of the mechs that it becomes forgotten tech that gets rediscovered but the history repeats itself in different ways

I heard the next Armored core game will be loosely based around dark souls. I'm thinking it will take place in the towers after ACVD. It will likely be a survival scenario against the technology of the old word, dating back to AC4 and ACFA. Doing this would explain the final boss and the broken down arms forts present in the game. The towers are said to be advanced and the autonomous arms serve as a major threat throughout the game. These strangely advanced enemies will likely be the enemies in the next game, and it would make for a good difficulty curve due to the dark aged ACs you control in the newest games. Fatman, one of the characters promises to take down the towers after the final fight, so I think it's reasonable for the story to lead there.

So is armored core 6 a ending unification or the true begining of all the time lines? Looks like in the trailer that the ACs have every peice of technology from every armored core game. Everything from kojima tech weapons, next primal/assault armor, MTs, arm projector sheilds, V styled armored cores, mega cities, pulverizer units, etc. Plus it looks like the great destruction was a massive solar flare or kojima super weapon that went off and scorched the earth causing a nuclear winter, so it looks like we may have to worry about our ACs freezing over.

For anyone that is interested in this channel, Coffee Potato is reporting news about Tactics Ogre Reborn as well as several analysis on the classes and other interesting stuff!

Would make sense if 6 takes place in another timeline branching off before 4 or a really long time after the end of your time line

I think that the series would be split between multiple different eras, Ala Sonic Generations, Basically, taking the games main plot points that tie them together! If you will, think of the main things that relate to each entry, The Great Destruction,Layered and the internecine, and The Pax Econommica! When one of those plot points is no more, and the one after begins! So basically if we go by that logic,the Armored Core series isn't one single timeline, it's multiple different ones coming into fruition!

I know AC3 was a 'soft reboot' of AC1 so I wonder if the two timelines can be squished together. AC3 is the dominant because it's the reboot but it could still be the origin of Klein's status in Nine Breaker, Phantasma is now the Interncine, the found resource in Nexus... could be related to Kojima Particles? It does make some juggling required for the new Nine Ball but, as fun head cannon, that could be the man who defeated the Dark Raven NEXT in AC5. So it could go 4 > 5 > 3/1 > 2 and since we're deep in space for 6 it's the last in line. Honestly at this point I'd be fine with AC6 DLC that essentially retells all the old games to make a solid timeline.

I always considered 4-VD to be either at the end or in the middle. Cuz in 4 some of the pilots are Revans from a previous war. Including the player

Armored core was always a story about rise and follow of power through the generations. Small villains and heroes. It's not meant to be thought of heavily as some grand novel. It's like life.

Nice lore explanation and timeline, it's really giving me some perspective throughout the ACVerse. I never really understood the lore behind it when I play it. I always just think that the world is doomed due to machinery or pollution and the struggle of the wars between AC are intensified because of that. Now I gained a lot of new info regarding the AI, Nineball and how the world shapes itself with each timeline, pretty interesting. I only play some AC games, Nexus, Last Raven and Verdict but what stood out the most for me is that Nexus ending, where the world is engulfed by those suicide bombers while you, possibly one of the few AC left, despite having an AC with great abilities to change the landscape of the world, still, in the end, lies powerless with overwhelming defeat against the very thing that human-created. It's poetic in the sense that the destruction was not caused by nature, but by a human thirst for advancement. And further, the ending of the last raven is fitting as you were the only one left but at what cost and what for? Even when you beat anything, the world still burn and the last raven ponder alone of the world fate because even tho he/she do everything and defeat everyone, it still doesn't change everything. The world still sucks and being the last raven is nothing but a hollow bragging right. It was all for nothing. It was depressing but I like it. I am gravitated by the theme of endless struggle which is why I love the ACverse. On a side note tho, I always think the proper ending for AC game is for some kind of fanfiction involving a scientist finding a solution to grow plants back in the harsh environment on the ground that accelerates humankind back to where it belongs. But this led to a final standoff between a faction that believes in the restoration and a faction that believes that restoration is wrong as they believe the restoration will only cause a vicious cycle of the earth being destroyed by advancement yet again. And in the end, as the war is vicious and reaches its climax, both sides eventually sacrifice and destroy each other in the process for their belief, signalling the extinction of the AC. While the scientist died from the war (alongside the involved party), her plan came to fruition, marking a new beginning for mankind with the technology being reset from the start. Then about some 300 years has passed, a group of digger corporations set an expedition into an old ruin than they accidentally trigger something, which led to a lone digger falling on top of something big, he dug it out and eventually find the discovery of an ancient technology called Armored Core, it was old, rusty but still barely functional. That man then rejuvenated and smirk while saying "This kind of technology will change the world!" and then the story end. Anyway, that is just my input, thanks again for sharing this info, it widen my lore of ACverse.

I personally like to split AC into two separate, though optionally-connected worlds; newgen (4th and 5th), and oldgen (so far, everything else). Separating further, I then split oldgen into the 1st and 3rd gens, and in this, I'm given a rather comfy excuse as to why the two seemingly-similar worlds never, ever contact each other; they're just on opposite sides of the earth, the Layereds in the Americas (chosen because of the frequent southern-US accents in AC3), and the 1st Gen "layered" (see AC1 ending for proof that it exists) in China-Japan (because creator provincialism). Assuming real-world geography, of course. Oh, and AC3, SL, Nexus, and LR are ALL canon. This leads into one little issue; what about the American pulverizers and suicide drones? Well, remember that all of humanity went underground following a worldwide apocalypse, perhaps caused by a worldwide outbreak of these pulverizers and bomb-drones. By time AC3 ends (and perhaps AC1/MOA ends at basically the same time), nature on the surface has recovered... and the old world remained, just waiting for Navis to come in and ruin everything. Naturally, this eventually results in Last Raven, where, no matter how you look at it, this America is fucked, razed to the ground by another wave of bombings and corporate warfare. Asia simply doesn't run into the Internecine or anything akin (that lost field arena with nineball AC2AA is just noncanon silliness), thus they have plenty of time to expand, conquer and prosper in their own wonderfully violent way, enough to reach Mars - something I'm entirely willing to believe happened given the incredible technology seen in both "layereds". This means that, after AC2AA, which is probably not too far off of, if not Last Raven, than at least when Nexus occured, Asia is now, at most, a few years away from the reawakened pulverizer threat demolishing the world again.. though, at least they have Martians doing their own thing now, so I suppose humanity is safe this time. yaay, happy endings! Where do Nine Breaker and Formula Front fit into all of this? Simple... they don't!!! Well, Nine Breaker could be some sort of special training system in the post-nexus world, or even in the pre-nexus world (but then why is Nineball even mentioned in America?), but Formula Front, as a mere concept, is so vastly far-removed from the entire rest of oldgen that there is no reconciling its presence with anything else, *especially* when the American Crest, Mirage and Kisaragi are somehow also present in this nigh-utopia.

your video is about to get a lot more views.

I know nothing about Armored core, but this was fun to listen to.

Going back to this video hoping we can get a new Armored Core announcement at The Game Awards!

While I personally think that the timelines between 1 through AA, 3 through LR and 4 through VD are all seperate timelines with no connection, I think this is easily the best theory out there when it comes to linking them together. Just a couple things, the ending being irrelevant, honestly, 90% sure that ORCA is canon given that we see the corporations going to space judging by ACV, and that explains how Omer got so much stronger and became the corporation. That being said, if there is anyone in this video's comment section who has access to a translator, I have great news. Armored Core 10 Complete Guides, a book that came out with Last Raven in Japan, has Timeline section in it, and was recently posted to the AC wiki, if ANYBODY has the means to translate this, PLEASE do so. armoredcore.fandom.com/wiki/Armored_Core_10_Works_Complete_File

Man, I wonder how AC6 would fit if it was connected

I like your style. But 9-Ball from AC1 was a Human+ not some AI. you kind of completely ignored the Human+ program, and I don’t think there are any alternate timelines. You need to do another where you make a single timeline, and map the various corporations, the technological advancements and their business endeavors. If I ever do a full play through again, I’ll consider using a notebook to map it myself now that I’m seeing the story starts with chapter 4.

great info

silent line had the best story imo

I feel like a couple of things here are a little backwards, in the original Trilogy, Nine-Ball exists in the background, and the corporations run the various underground cities, all which have local governments running them, since you do go outside a lot in the PS1 AC games. Meanwhile DOVE has a more direct control over everything, since the corporations in AC3 are constantly talking about "The Controller this" and "The Controller that" and all the missions take place INSIDE Layered, unlike AC1

i do liek the bit with the insulatino shortage leadfing to a full part redesign gives an inlore reason as to why all the parts got renamed from 3 ot NX

I just placed it as 1, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5. God I'm wrong.

What’s the name of the background OST?

A very interesting theory! Even though,I'm kinda curious about one thing: IBIS,the other master AI of Third Gen-Assuming that DOVE won the conflict which led to it absorbing Nineball,then was destroyed by the Raven,only for IBIS to pop up after behind the Silent line,only to be destroyed by the second Raven...What happened to IBIS in the proposed AC 1 timeline? Did Nineball find it and absorb it too? Or did humanity actually never went past the Silent line in the AC 1 timeline? As a small bonus,a little headcannon for the "DOVE and NineBall were partners" theory,in that Nineball AI original designation was "RAVEN" as to be a counterpart of his partner "DOVE",both being named after birds. However,after it absorbed "DOVE",it split itself into 2 parts,Nineball became Hustler One,running things from the shadows,while the absorbed parts of DOVE became "R",the master AI of Raven's nest,however,as a mere extension that was completely subservient to Nineball

Someone has the image used in the video of the timeline I have looked for it but I can not find it

Game order by story is AC 1, MOA, 2, another age, 3, silent line, nine breaker, nexus, last Raven, 5, 5 verdict day, 4, for answer.

Armored Core 6 is out now. Where do you personally think it fits within this theoretical timeline?

Any way to get the timeline, the link to the dropbox isn't working

I am genuinely hoping the new leak about thr next AC game is legit this time because I'm wondering what path they'll take on this. I've heard talk of a reboot, does this mean another new timeline? Or are we going to see a time before AC 4 where normals are the highest level of tech just before NEXT technology takes the main stage

Hello mate, do you still have a dropbox armored core timeline? Because that Dropbox link is no longer exist, and i want to know more about that timeline. Thank you.

Oh boy, is this video gonna blow up ;)

2:40 Well this far into the video, and even though I haven't played AC4 or ACFA, I still know that Ravens were a thing, but they've all died out, and Amored Cores are now called Normals, and the current thing being used are NEXTs. Pilots are now called Lynx. So Ravens and Armored Cores are not only already established, but in the past. So I'm not sure how you can figure AC4 and 4Answer at the start of the time line when, canonically, it explicitly states there was a generation before it. It even acknowledges the raven in Nexus that died to the Unmanned Suicide Bomber assault.

Picked up Armored Core 2 as my first game and fell in love. AC 3 was my next, with Silent Line AC and finally Nexus. I went and bought the first three ps1 games but only played the first before my games were 'repurposed' I sometimes wish I had started the series in the ps1 era. I played a bit of ninebreaker a friend hand, and saw where last raven was going. When I saw that the new Armored Core games forced you to pilot a preset schematic AC and didn't let you customize from the start I knew the franchise was suffering from "Halo gen" syndrome and was dead to me. Also the dropbox link is dead.

I mean I like the idea of it at all that 4 and 5 became the origin stories but I'm really not convinced honestly

I wonder how a fight between Dove and Nineball would have gone.....

Thats not correct tho...There is no split timeline... its confirmed in the games themselves....

I think all the games can be fit into one timeline. Here's my timeline. AC4 > AC: FA > AC5 > AC:VD > AC3 > AC: SL > AC: Nexus > AC: LR > AC1 > AC: PR > AC:MoA > AC2 > AC:AA After AC:VD, humanity decides to go underground due to scrounging around on the surface not being a viable option for survival, and to put a AI controller in charge because of how chaotic things were becoming by the end of the Verdict War and the destruction caused by it. Some time later, humanity rediscovers the surface after the events of AC3. I think AC 3 and its sequels can also be placed before AC 1. After AC: SIlent Line, in AC: Nexus, humanity is settling on the surface when dangerous artifacts (the pulverizors) are discovered at the end of the game, which leads to them almost destroying and severely damaging human settlements on the surface. (the pulverizors could also be related to the UNACS/AI technology from AC 4/AC:FA or the tech from AC 5/AC:VD). In AC: Last Raven, the surface is still reeling from the damage of the pulverizors. AC parts have also regressed technology because of all the damage with parts being inferior now (increased risk of overheating weapons). and the raven conflict with the corporations, along with the threat of the pulverizors leads to even more damage to the remains of humanity, ending with all ravens except one being destroyed. After the aftermath of the destruction in AC: LR, the surface is heavily damaged and inhabitable. all hell breaks loose as humanity goes into all out war for survival (the Thirty Years War that leads to the great destruction before AC1). Humanity is forced to underground yet again, and is under even stricter supervision from an AI, Nineball (in part, created from whatever scraps of old tech was left after the destruction). Nineball is more strict and ruthless than DOVE from AC 3 to keep humanity in check to prevent the events of AC: Nexus and AC: LR from ever happening again. AC technology has also been reduced to basic levels (as can be seen in AC 1 with the lack of Over-Boosting, orbital weapons, and etc.) because of the loss of technology due to the destruction from the pulverizors. AC technology improves over time for example, with the Over Boost being rediscovered, prior to AC 2. I dunno about Formula Front or the mobile games though, lol. Also, Ninebreaker could be a testing program or simulation as frequently speculated.

Can you send me a link to this huge presentation in a photo format ?

I believe head toward mars one in real life.

If you'd like more AC, I do challenge runs of this one too: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bsmKqpafurmsaas.html

Ideas about FA's ending: If we go by the AC1-AC2AA split, then we know that humanity has gone to space. This implies that the ORCA ending is canon since the Assault Cells were shot down. Of course, it is possible that humanity in that time found another way to shoot down the Assault Cells. If we go with the AC3-AC3SL split, then we know that the 2nd Layered (with IBIS) has that satellite cannon. This could in fact be an Assault Cell. If so, then this implies that either the League ending or the Destruction ending is canon. Or perhaps this cannon is not an Assault Cell and was built separately. At the end of the day, the ending probably doesn't matter that much (as you've already stated)

I have always wondered myself how all the games came together I assumed that fifth and VD games came after Last Raven given its ending and on the concept of the Companies and what government was around ignoring the old tech in Nine Breaker that seems kinda out of place but I can seem them doing that if they were smart enough to figure out what it all did and how it could screw them over.

What’s the music playing in the background?

2019 anyone??

DS lore: The world is dying, kill it before you die too AC lore: Capitalism sux, this Nine Ball guy is cool af tho

They go to Mars not the moon

XA-24683.... Raven the rest is up too you.

The story's reverse engineered Mucle tracing equipment from ac4 /FA, Wars escalate? So the mech Muscle tracing machines that evoled into armored core / Human plus aka (Human/cyborg piolts interfaces) with there machines. They were lost due to the wars from Ac4 too VD and what was left in the towers and humans were able too engineer them and start the psx triology... the theorys are band waggoning over each other's ideas. The story has too be in order the games came out.. In the end of VD/5 they state they are trying to prevent the dark Raven/players decisions to kill everyone in FA and the destruction... + Kelins actions to kill Serph N.B. 1000's years later 5 takes place and they try agian, but still have some Next tech available but it's not fully understood. The game States thousands of years have passed and they fear the "Player" aka the dark Raven.

For fuck's sake, this keeps getting linked by people as "evidence" to support their baseless pet timeline theories. Stop trying to make a unified timeline. There isn't one. The games don't all fit neatly into one universe. With a few exceptions, no thought was given to any sort of overarching continuity while creating them. :allduerespect: :heresy: :crowhat: :toadcrouch:

I wish you had scripted yourself. You could've taken out a lot of the rambling and repeating and it would've been easier to do more than one take (to remove the sighs, "um"s, and pauses). It's very difficult to focus on what someone's saying when they don't seem to be saying anything in particular.
