Mispap did a great job creating so many of these cinematics. Which scenes were some of your favourites? I'll add them to the list below:

35:13- Attack the Dam Complex Fight Scene

1:52:20- Balteus Fight Scene

Ice worm fight-3:21:26

Intercept the Redguns-3:49:03

3:53:43- Fighting Rusty

4:08:09- Walter’s Legacy

The cumulative man-hours that must’ve gone into creating this is wild to think about. Amazing job to everyone involved.

"I hope you watched this in segments."

Yeah, that's...totally what I did.

[Boxghost]

I like to believe it's a communal joke on rubicon that whenever they encounter rummy, they only beat him down and let him live after, because he's so pathetic he's funny. Everyone including Balam, Arquebus, all the dosers, and even the PCA are in on it.

Raven, being a newcomer, wasn't in on the joke and ruined it by killing him.

[VaatiVidya]

Honestly, I don't know what to say about this video. It's been a constant project for so many months that it's going to feel strange now it's complete.

I understand it's a big ask to expect anyone to watch 5.5hours of Armored Core 6 content, but I personally love coming back to long-format videos over time, so I hope the YouTube algorithm serves this up to you a few times so that you can keep coming back. However, if you don't have time, I'd recommend at least watching the endings in Chapter 5! Those are some of the most cinematic, impactful moments, and the new songs from Disc 3 of the official soundtrack go hard.

Thank you all for your patience as this project came to fruition. We certainly won't be doing another 5.5hr lore video any time soon :P

"I can't fail this mission!"

"He fails the mission"

Cold. Like a proper Raven

[youwy]

You’re invaluable to the Fromsoft franchise. Every game community wishes they had Vaati as an ambassador 🐐

The relationship between Iguazu and 621 is the embodiment of "I don't even know who you are"

[VLimit]

This was by far the largest project I've ever had the chance to work on, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Working with Vaati and Mispap1 has been a fantastic experience, and I think this video turned out even better than we were all hoping for!

I want to give a MASSIVE thanks to the team for bringing me on for this, and, of course, a huge thanks to all of you that have been patient regarding both Vaati's and my own upload schedules in the lead-up to this. I hope we're all on the same page in that it was 100% worth it in the end 🙏

IGN: Armored Core has almost no Story.
Vaati: Hold my Beer 🍺

[darkmoongaboonga]

"Snail's base of operation, within the sewers where he belongs..."
That got a good chuckle out of me.

[SHNKR]

So I only just noticed that all of Ayre’s dialogue has a high pitched squeal tone on the back end. It’s easier to hear at the end of her sentences since it trails past her lines. But it is only present when she specifically speaks. Which gives us a glimpse of what iguazu was hearing. Since it’s very likely that this is actually what she sounds like but 621’s brain is able to interpret the sound as speech. It also explains his foul mood when dealing with us. That sound being at full blast would be maddening. We would basically be a walking migraine emitter.

"The answer is 2000 Albany's sir!" Timing that with the cannon firing was just beautiful lmfao

[Oroboro]

WAKE UP BABE THE VAATI MOVIE JUST DROPPED 😱

[logancade]

"This is just speculation" is an incantation Vaati casts to summon lore into canon.

[TonyRedgrave]

I've never heard G6 Red cry out for G5 Iguazu before. It really shows how despair-filled Red is that he's calling out to such an unreliable Redgun. He just has nothing left. It's an extra layer of sadness on top of an already sad fight.

[mispap]

Thanks for watching everyone! Working on this video really gave me a deep appreciation for AC6 and its characters, so I hope our retelling of this epic story can reveal things you missed and help you appreciate this amazing game even more. Would love to hear which mission was your favorite so lmk down below😁

[LizardoArgon]

Nobody in the YT essay sphere will ever phrase "weaponized salt" with such eloquence as Vaati. Man vindicated every single emotion I've felt playing AC6. 10/10

[MCWoodohyeah]

It's like playing the entire game, with a competent person at the helm, who actually understands the story. Wild to watch the whole thing all in one go. 12/10

4:19:49 I think the line from V1 Freud where he says “you fight like a hound on a hunt, at this altitude I’d expected a scavenger bird” could be a subtle acknowledgment that in the Fires of Raven ending, C4-621 is more of Walter’s Hound than a Raven. It’s just a nice detail in the dialogue
