Armored Core Lore: White Glint

Hero, Villain or legend? The many titles of this next is never enough as today we look into the history of White Glint from the Nexts' beginning as a test subject to a protector of an old way.

[andrewrogers]

One of the most legendary characters in the series, just up there with Nineball. The pilot is alive but the next isn’t, with that in mind Line Arks fate is unknown.

Ah, White Glint. The mercenary turned revolutionary with one of the most iconic designs in AC history. They take the name of the friend who was coerced into attacking their home by corporate interests, and makes it a name that struck fear in the League. May Anatolia's Mercenary be remembered amongst those they fought to protect.

Also, I love how so many people (myself included) mistook Fiona as the actual pilot. Though to be fair, it would have been interesting to know how Fiona would have fared as a Lynx.

interesting to think that the protagonist of 4's main motivation to fight is to preserve his home Anatolia, and Line Ark later, while the protagonist of 4Answer is canonically called Strayed (a dog without a home basically) . Coupled with the fact that Strayed's main theme song is Scorcher, and that AC4's protagonist has Thinker as his main theme song and canon AC name; it's likely that FROM intended protagonist of AC4 to be this calm, wise protector while intending the protagonist of AC4A to be this uncontrollable violent destroyer (which....actually happens in one of the endings)

I loved refitting the white glint with both the most energy efficient thrusters and most powerful reactor and flying around with the overed for stupidly long periods of time.

The legendary WHITE GLINT. As a colossal fan of armored core, i really appreciate the legend of White Glint since playing armored core 4 as Anatolia's Mercenary. I love to team up with White Glint and carry on the legacy with a more retro-fitted White Glint to be one very speedy machine! The legend of White Glint lives

I am so happy someone decided to get up and start making AC videos again. Thank you for making all of these, can't wait to see more!

[yamamotomechbattles]

Can't help but notice how much the fate of White Glint and the Anatolian Mercenary has in common with the Freedom Gundam and Kira Yamato lol. Glad to know the lore has Line Ark surviving on the side lines. It would've been cool to do more missions for their faction.

Alright, I had only just recently found out about these videos and had already subscribed, but that sly little comment about "where deep-sea fish would love you forever" and I'm sold for life. I feel like the AC community may have their very own Vaatividya here. Keep up the good work.

White Glint, the “Gundam” of Armored Core. A personal favorite armored core of mine that I adored the most. I found you in my recommendations and immediately subscribed. You do a fantastic job with the lore, and I’m very happy and proud. Can’t wait for when Fires of Rubicon comes out. I’m so excited! The only armored cores I’ve played are:

Armored Core 3

Armored core 4 answer

Armored core formula front

And armored core 5

Babe wake up armored core lore just dropped.

No but for real something about liona still being alive and line ark regrowing after orca was announced makes me feel good. Also white glint 2 in comparison to JOB white glint is a crazy improvement so it’d be interesting to see what white glint 3.0 would look like

Edit: anyone know what happened to Anatolia’s merc between AC4 and 4A? If liona and kasumi stayed alive then what happened?

This is one of those channels, like the Diablo 2 players who made content before the remaster, and old WoW streamers who got huge after remastered/classic/return genre games came out and they already had years of content to look at and were ahead. Once more and more news of this new AC game comes out, people who used to play and new people alike will come to youtube and find fresh stuff. Just like how I got here. :) Subbed and good luck.

I have the kotobukiya model kit (with vob) of the FA whiteglint. It is a gorgeous craft and I love using it during my run throughs of ACFA. Arguably the most iconic and popular design, even more sore than nine balls iterations. I also love how it continued the Anatolia Mercs legacy, was a bit heart wrenching to either fight or fight beside what was effectively yourself from the past, almost like fighting or allying your past ghost

[mattegel]

thanks for doing these, they are great!

[BJRoes]

5:10 “where deep sea fish will love you forever”
⁉️🤖❤️🐟
That needs to be on a T-Shirt 👕

[Alexisthewolfy]

Welp... I just found your channel and I'm about to binge watch all of your content. Thank you Raven, it's good to see people keeping AC alive still. Hopefully AC6 is coming out soon.

[Guyver-]

The old White Glint had the same head as Nobless Oblige, another super AC design

[blagojpejov]

The Legend White Glint is one Armored Core that you musnt face in combat

[invidatauro]

You know, something to consider is that in terms of both design, weapons and playstyle, the White Glint in 4A seems to be paying tribute to Berlioz. Similar weapons layout, design is very similar to essentially a more proportional Aaliyah, and it focuses on the same dodging/mid range combat.

I think that in a way this could be Anatolia's Merch paying tribute not only to his friend, but the fallen Lynxs of the Lynx war. At the very least showing respect to Berlioz (which acknowledges the respect that Berlioz gave AM when they fought)

[budowniczypylonow]

Although I love how white link looked it was not my kind of a mech. I need something capable of packing more guns. So I made a modified mid weight mech with surprisingly high speed combined with assault armour. It couldn't keep itself in the air for long but the recharge time surely fixed the issue.

I'm so glad someone still making videos about AC, keep up the good works!
