a naming issue here. 4 THE ANSWER. my bad.

White Glint, the mech and pilot in the trailer, is our player character in the previous game and we have the option to side with them or help take them down in a mission and damn are they good. Fitting that one of the strongest possible enemies you can encounter in-game is your former character.

The theme of Anatolia's Mercenary, a pilot so absurdly skilled they singlehandedly changed the course of a global war, defeating legends both current and former, before disappearing into the shadows, a murky legend of a conflict most floating above the clouds would rather forget. Only to show up years later, the sole and most powerful NEXT pilot of a comparatively small surface faction, in a new and terrifyingly agile machine. It's no wonder the corporations were so hesitant to face him down given his track record, with GA alone owing the vast majority of their success to his actions. I'm just glad it was shown he survived his encounter with/against Strayed.

In Armored Core for Answer lore, a Lynx (called for mercenaries piloting a NEXT which is basically a more advanced Armored Core) fighting an Arms Fort especially The Spirit of Motherwill (colossal mech from the intro) is not "just a mission" for anyone else to take on because it is already a suicide mission engaging them. Despite its high risk, only a few Lynxes lived their tale and even became legends of their own right.

Watching the trailer for AC For Answer was majestic. Seeing White Glint in all its mechanical glory is a feast to the eyes. Can't wait for Fires of Rubicon

Ah, the battle against Spirit of MotherWill is EPIC the first time you do it. While all armored forts are a epic fight, MotherWill has that vibe of being in the intro, and the fight itself being cut into phases. You have to GET to Motherwill first and THEN fight it. Meanwhile you're zipping around in highspeed dogding shots of massive caliber. While any reruns take a bit of the experience, I always liked fighting it for the crafted moment it was.

for Answer honestly has my favorite soundtrack in the series. Can't recommend going through more of it enough, tracks like Remember and Someone Is Always Moving On The Surface are pure perfection

This song is White Glint's theme. A once necessary force to decide the LINX war. Rescued others time and time again and shot down many. Literal legends around him and his wake in the battlefield. An angel of death, ready to defend his new people and decide the new future. He is also the player from Armored Core 4.

4rth generation Armored Core is a ton of fun, fastest moving in the series easily. The technology is at a peak for AC's as well, hence all the god-like sounding music. It's really nice to see someone reacting to the music and trailers after all these years

Aw man that intro. In the intro, it mixes "4 the answer" and "Spirit of Motherwill" themes. The Spirit of Motherwill, a walking fortress the size of half a city. And it still cannot bring enough firepower to bear to defeat a single mech (very advanced prototype, but still). A big part of AC 4s story is about the world remaining military constructing these behemoth war machines called Arms Forts to reduce their dependece on the Mecha Mercenaries. People still hire those very mercs to take down the Arms Forts of other organizations. Good analysis on this one, never thought of it as a praying song.

My favorite track in ACFA lately has been "Set the Sunset." Just a gorgeous piece.

I remember hearing this one a long time ago. Really cool song! Big boss fight energy vives! I’m actually hyped for ARMORED CORE 6!! And hopefully, it’s so successful, they’ll make remakes of the original games!

I'm so stoked for more listens from the series. I only ever played AC 4. But I love the cinematic trailers so much. Can't wait till AC 6 comes out.

You should absolutely take a look at the Armored Core 4 intro as well, which is arguably even more badass.

The way you just described it off the bat as the answer to the prayer, awakening the machine or fighting against something godly. Dark soul vibes lol. Souls always had the Armored Core DNA it just feels so interesting looking back having played them all over time.

You can also try these: Armored Core 4 - Panther Armored Core 4 Answer - Remember

"What are you transporting today?" "A gun"

Loving this format with the fresh listen so we can get your raw impressions and analysis of the piece followed by the track in-context. I would have loved this sort of thing for your Ace Combat reactions!

The intro on ACFA is 1 of my favorites. It features White Glint Mk2 on an assault against BFF's arms fort Spirit of Motherwhill using the Vanguard Over Boost unit. While the attack was unsucessful, he did find a weakness Strayed exploits later. It is worth noting that Strayed is the pilot you play as in ACFA and the pilot of White Glint is the pilot you played as in AC4

As always, you never cease to amaze me with how you can guess what is going on in a trailer, level, etc. just from listening to the soundtrack alone. Looking forward to the next Armored Core song you listen to!

To see the aftermath of the events that happened in the ACFA opening you have to press the "Start" button at the Main Menu of the game. You will see White Glint appear from all the ash and particles effects in the air from using its Assault Armor. It's really cool.

A pure white angel with a devil's heart heads for the battlefield. To save the world in your own way.

Love the footage of the assault on Spirit of Motherwill. While the fight against this gigantic behemoth has another Soundtrack aptly titled "Spirit of Motherwill", 4 the Answer is one of the shorter songs which incorporate other Tracks in the OST like a shorter, dynamic version. Your analysis is spot on. Lots of comments on the ACfA Soundtrack vids here on youtube speculate if the choir actually says something like "amen" and well, we'll probably never find out the true intention/background of the meaning, but it leaves room for a lot of speculation and theories, which honestly, stretches over the entirety of the Armored Core franchise OST. In a way you could say, From Software loves nuanced storytelling and Kota Hoshino and Tsukasa Saitoh do that in their very own way, being part of the FS sound division. Great content. Hope to see more!

Hey there friend! As a fellow singer (Baritone) I love seeing your reaction to music from video games that deserve more musical attention! I would really love to see you react to the Rivellon from Divinity Original Sin 2! The whole soundtrack for that game is amazing and I'd think you would love it since the music is composed with different instruments our western ears are used to.

This tracks works so well when the only thing you're currently thinking is "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck"

Should watch Armored Core 4 intro next. Was the game before Armored Core for Answer.

Nailed it as usual Marco. Can't wait for 6.

For Answer's OST is INCREDIBLE. I love the whole series of games, and I can't wait to see what 6 is going to have in store, both in terms of gameplay and music. Also, ALL the games have incredible intros! When Armored Core 2 first dropped, the intro to that blew my mind.

Here come white glint fellas

I think looking into the context after is a good call. Feels like you make your impressions, then you get...an answer. :)

I've never played an Armored Core game before (they were before I really got into gaming and well before my experiences with FromSoftware games). I know very well Armored Core 6 is going to be a different FromSoftware experience for me, but I cannot wait. The trailer for it is amazing and I've been watching parts of the previous games to try and get a feel for what to expect with Armored Core 6, and everything I see just makes me more excited for it.

Best opening theme of all AC generations. U sums up the aspect of the song so well. The pilot of that mech is the only fighting force in his hometown and without him his hometown will be gone for good. And he is so OP that the only way to win against him is to gang up or just leave him alone.

I call this song my "I'm going to die in a car wreck" song, for those fun times driving on the interstate.

You should check out Armored Core 4's OST, that's where this style of music began and there's a lot of really powerful tracks in it as well

Marvelous! Thanks!

It's nice to see people are getting to know this series for the first time. Armored Core was a major part of my childhood.

I would love you reacting to all the tracks in the 20th anniversary albums. They are absolute banger.

Sprit of Motherwill! ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS

Bro armored core is part of my childhood, this brings back memories.

Man you are CRUSHING it with these music analysis. The biggest use of this song for me is during the Defeat White Glint mission. The part about heading towards something big definitely is true considering in game the league is so afraid of this one NEXT and it's LYNX that they refuse to send anyone but their best against White Glint and even more so they force the confrontation to be a 2v1 in YOUR FAVOR. Yeah WG is so op in lore that it required 2 top tier LYNX (you and Otdsarva) to beat him.

Man i love how you ready every comment

Finally! Marco looking at how right he's getting these things on the first shot. XD

my personal favourite is "someone is always moving on the surface"

Been waiting for you to react to this track for a long time. Tbh, there's just something about Armored cores music that feels so distinct. And awesome to listen to.

i hope at some point u heard both versions of Motherwill's theme. First one in this game, and the second one in Armored Core 5: Verdict Day. The second theme goes really hard.

So badass so excited for the game

That's cool. The music, intro, the AC design, boss, and everything. Should have try listen to the OST Spirit of Motherwill 👍

Funny enough that giant walking aircraft carrier isn't "The Answerer". In the game there are these massive boss battles that "Strayed" (the player) takes on, called Armsforts. The armsfort the song is named after, is the last armsfort strayed goes against. The fight itself is against a massive machine and almost literal God of War.

They found the weakness of the spirit of motherwill because of the attack of white glint which they got the answer to defeating it

I really can't wait to wait for the release of the game Armored Core 6 and I hope the soundtrack that is delivered is exactly the same in the game Armored Core 4 Answer. Because the song really made me feel goosebumps and excited simultaneously. that's f*cking great!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

FA has s very gospelly ost on s side note you can feel the roots of demon soul being tougth on this game in my opinion

Getting PA bombed by white glint while this music plays was an experience I can't forget.

There's a longer and somewhat remixed version of this track, called Today. Should give it a listen. But I'm curious to know what your opinion would be on an Armored Core 5 track call Mech Dinosaur. It's a boss track that I feel gets the player pretty pumped.

If you never ever play armored core before, i just wanna say, you miss something big. Armored core and mechwarrior series are 2 great mech theme game. They also has some good soundtrack too.

The song feels missing since the battle features the sounds of a titanic mechanical beating heart from the "Answerer" itself.

Always felt this was more memorable for the White Glint fight, was actually tough.

AC ost is awesome, thanks for video! P.S. Bungie release developer inside about Music in Lightfall. I'm really hope you'll react to that!

a reaction of Overture from armored core 4 too could be interesting

The strugles of survival you should give it a try

此OST依然是全系列最具代表性的一首❤

I'd recommend you listen to "In My Heart" when next time you listen to AC music.

Check out Armored core last raven's intro in your freetime that thing brutal 💀 ⚙️

The motherwill OST is the must

this song needs to last way longer

I recommended Grid room for ac4 and The game from Last raven

Still waiting for both versions of ACVD dirty worker

Yeah. White Glint (The white mech) is apex sexy mechanical design.

Hey there! Nice vid as always. How about some Guilty Gear Strive themes? But specificaly I mean Faust's and Zato's themes with lyrics. And I recommend you to listen and watch lyric versions. These themes basicaly tell you a story about characters so they may be interesting to you

Hopefully AC7 has some bangers. I’d like to see you react to them when the game comes out

"Pray" ... "For Answer"

**YES**

You need to listen to "depth" from armored core last Raven

Have you reacted to Zero from Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War? I do think you'll enjoy the mixture of Flamenco-style guitar and for lack of a better term Electronic Symphony

based armored core poster

Try listening to Twist It, from armored core IV

Motherwill is certainly epic and the music does sound like a prayer, but i always saw it as both sides at once. The protagonist is just a mercenary and is hardly the "angel" sent to save the people. It could easily also be the people supporting motherwill asking some higher power to save them from YOU. Its pretty typical of fromsoft games to be ambiguous with right and wrong but its one of my favorite aspects of the armored core games, ESPECIALLY 4th and 5th gen

Also theres also frequency - day after day kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pdh8mrOhrLyym40.html And this is IR account version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iplip8pk07zDoKM.html Final AC remix do you remember take 2 by USUDA kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j86WiZWFs62Xkqs.html

Please do Hymn of Fayth from FFX next I love all different version sung by all the different summons.

This is my favorite installment in the series and even though Armored Core 4 is not as good as it, you need the context from 4 to fully appreciate the complex social, political, character driven narrative of this game. The series as a whole has always been about the cyclical nature of conflict and history in multiple aspects of the words but none have better encapsulated it within a single installment, I feel, as 4A.

Hi marco, love ur reactions !! i really wanna see you react to YOUSEEBIGGIRL/T:T from attack on titan!!

ya, armored core tends to be on the faster side of mech combat games, unlike say mech warrior. so the music is often more bombastic.

Can you react to Spirit of Motherwill and Motherwill comes again?

Has this guy done "9" yet?

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdl-f5poxKzSp2g.html I think another ost called "Today" is paired with "4 The Answer"

Are you already see Arknights Requim ?, if don't you should watch it.
