Thank you all again.
I like how the special weapons are all huge machines of war with speed impossible for their size, and then there`s just a battle ship that`s comparable to modern destroyers
It isn't the first time we fought an AC a 100x our size, I immediately remembered gen 1's giant mech. It feels like 5's generation was repeating history with these. weapons.
It's an oversized, out-of-date machine -> Substandard XD Spirit of Motherwill just can't catch a break. After all these years people with throwing shade on it XD
@@armoredcorelore True, the massed produced stuff had better investment costs or a good answer to the NEXTs of the time. The Grey Lotus and LiV remind me of the flying Sol Dios Cannons on that Modified Land Crab. Turns out something with a big enough punch that is small and sturdy can take out a lot of under powered NEXTs.
Most mecha series: We have to bend physics and the setting over backward to explain why we use mecha and not just more tanks Armored core: hmm, yes, the humanoid jet plane powered by turbo-cancer is a rational and logical choice compared to the CITY-SIZED PENTAPOD shooting at us Gotta love that AC sauce
LiV Trivia from the Wiki: LiV stands for "Lady in Vortex." However, this is simply a designation given to it by the Three Forces. Its true name, discovered in the source code of its programming, seems to be a name derived from "angel." A heavily distorted female voice can be heard crying out for help when LiV is defeated. The ACVD Link archive secret reports on the unidentified weapons confirms that LiV is powered by a generator that uses special particles that allow for powerful bursts of movement as well as a defensive barrier. This particle is extremely hazardous to the surrounding environment. It shares this trait with the N-WGIX/v and Exusia. In Armored Core: Verdict Day Official Setting Documents Collection -the AFTER-, a silhouette of LiV is used in an example image in which it's explained that some Designed had their human components replaced with machinery until the only organic parts that remained were a few brain tissues. If this applies to LiV, then she may not be an unmanned weapon, but rather a cyborg. The page on LiV is on page 104 of the AFTER. This is a pun, as 104 can be written as ten (English) shi (Japanese) as in tenshi, or an angel. Both LiV and Exusia were created as "anti-Special Weapons".[1] The internal files refer to it as "Frieza"(!)[2], in reference to the Dragon Ball character. I knew i heard someone crying when i beat her all those years ago.... scary.
@@armoredcorelore While the definition varies with each series, yes, they typically require a pilot. The MA in Gundam IBO specifically, however, are a series of unmanned weapons controlled by ai.
@armoredcorelore one idea I think would be baller for a game would be the idea of playing as the crew members of these things cuz could you imagine the chaos of several people trying to do a coordinated effort
@@armoredcorelore I've never played steel battalion but I have seen a breakdown of how it plays so the idea would be that for the huge arms/arms fort itself the pilot would of course be piloting but then the other players would be handing other things like maintenance and certain weapons or counter measures along the way to help ease the burden, so for example main pilot is doing his buisness of fighting something and plans to use this big lazer or missle silo but uh oh do to some damage from earlier you gotta stall for time while your crew fixes it and helps along with some counter measures or something like that
I can imagine the pitch for the NWGIX went a little something like this: Person 1: Hey, ACs are basically Mobile Suits, right? Person 2: Kinda is, kinda isn't, but I see your point. Why? 1: Let's make it fight our equivalent of a Gundam. 2: but we don't have a... 1: 2: 2: We're nerfing it but you'll have your fight.
TYPE D NO.5 gave me a little bit trauma and fear that thing is so big we are just insects in front of that thing maybe a next can beat the TYPE D easily but still...i'm thankful that thing can't move as fast as AC .thankfully we only fought them once, just imagine what it would be like if we had to fight 2 or 4 of them at the same time ,even if there are around 20 players or more AC it will be the graveyard of ACE pilots
7:22 I HATE those TO-605 walkers, the flipping boomerang attack the A version has is such a BS move since it ignores armor like a boost kick and it can home in one you no matter how much you boost around... and dont get me started on the defenses they have, you have to bring all three damage types and have the damage boost stat maxed out if you want to destroy them fast enough....
I can point you in the right direction (Note as you can guess this is done only on pc for now) as to start you should watch this video to set up ruclips.net/video/Y_K3b0686NE/видео.html .Then go join the armoredcorediscord server as this is where the mods you'll need can be found. These are Unbound and PCV World Bosses in PVE and test mode. (You can use the search bar on discord to find both files.) Both are packed with instructions in readmefiles, which will do a better job then i can of explaining of how they are done. But in a nutshell, it is copying and pasting some new files into the game files of armored core v. This changes the test mode opponents to the bosses. Honestly very easy and the instructions make it very clear where they need to go. As for what i used on an ac to be honest for the st elmo i just added rifles to my own ac. And for the red exusia, i put on the grind blade ultimate weapon and hit them with it.

Ha ha ac lore in a nut shell I feel.
Let's give a big round of applause to those poor infantry firing on the Type D No. 5. They might only be a light show, but damn it they're trying!
Indeed like firing at a metal giant with a pea shooter.
It isn't the first time we fought an AC a 100x our size, I immediately remembered gen 1's giant mech. It feels like 5's generation was repeating history with these. weapons.
Ah yes the devastator, the og of ac big bosses.
Trying to take those down for scrap is just hilarious to me.
Acv everyone seems to out to be out for scrap.
It's an oversized, out-of-date machine -> Substandard XD

Poor motherwill, although to be fair it is outclass by a lot of speical weapons in this era.

Its her fault for being too dummy THICC and keeps alerting the NEXTs to shoot her down.
Huge Arms/Special Weapons make Arms Forts look like Lego playsets.
I never did look into sizes, maybe one day.
I love the design for those machines, thanks for the lore.
They are pretty cool and thank you.

@@da_001 dam thats creepy
@@da_001 Ah the one place I did not look. Well the more you know.
So this is basically armored core version of mobile armors
Basically but I lack knowledge on mobile armours as I though they needed a pilot.
@@armoredcorelore Not strictly I think? Post Disaster mobile armors are basically controlled by Skynet.
@@zchen27 ha ha honestly the only ones i know are chars one with laser finger, lalas green one, the asperas and the red one in space.
@@armoredcorelore While the definition varies with each series, yes, they typically require a pilot. The MA in Gundam IBO specifically, however, are a series of unmanned weapons controlled by ai.
Well you got ones like the Psycho Gundam from Zeta that requires a pilot
That giant red huge arms in ACV was so fucking hard.
It certainly is. I took a shot soloing it and managed to take out one arm.
Oh how i love the trope mass weapons of destruction that are absolutely massive in scale
@@Lonewolf360gaming One trope I think I can live with for my mecha games.

I mean it would be epic, but it really would be the metal coffins for mercenaries.
So that is what the spinning bayblade of death was , I want to know what the in universe designers of these craft where thinking.
@@danprentice7073 you and me both.
HEY! The big weapon armor types! My type of thing.
Ty for overview. 😎
Glad you enjoyed.
Exouxia: if Gundam Exia went evil
Need to work on my gundam lore ha ha.
@@armoredcorelore Nothing really: the name Exia is derived from the greek word exouxia, meaning “authority” if memory serves me right.
@@BLAZE084 Ah I see.
Wished we had more of these in AC6, the lack of super weaponries kinda made the campaign a little stale at times.
@@apophisstr6719 it would be cool, epsically for co op.
The ENFORCER is definitely a superweapon. It’s larger than most Gundam mobile suits, but can boost faster than an AC.
@natethegreat7967 and remember it was just a prototype. Who know what the fully developed version was capable of.
These are the types of bosses we should’ve seen in AC6. Like the Ice Worm
That would have been cool.
Great video. You should really talk about pile bunker my favourite mele weapon .
@@MateMaterial a video on pile bunker. Maybe..maybe.
interesting stuff on LiV though.
@@Duke_of_Petchington thank you.
Here's hoping that server imitation is figured out for these games soon. I'd love to take a swing at these things again.
@@ACFoxeye I know the acdiscord holds world boss events if you run the game on your PC.
Nice work on this video

@@banansa4778 I hear ya, you can see in the video I had trouble with just two of them.
now im wondering, what kind of food people on gen 5 are eat to survive. is there like any mention about it?
Not that i have found yet, but there is two books still to be translated.
I wonder if someone ever thought about creating some of these as mods for us to use because Type D No. 5 seems like fun to use.
@@100_American_Bison it's be fun. Maybe an Ac6 modder will bring them to rubicon.
I hope the next-gen AC goes back to grim dark art direction again
Could you link the mod/explain what you used to fight the online bosses in V?

As for what i used on an ac to be honest for the st elmo i just added rifles to my own ac. And for the red exusia, i put on the grind blade ultimate weapon and hit them with it.
thanks a lot man, I appreciate it
Exusia is actually pronounced Exoo-seea
Also, those red particles are likely another type of Kojima. Personally I've been calling them Tau Kojima Particles, like GN Tau Particles.
@@AnatoliasAce3341 I feel like I said that. All well learning is fun.
@armoredcorelore you said they were a special type of particle I think, not that they were explicitly another type of Kojima.
@@AnatoliasAce3341 my comment was more about saying exusia name rather then the particles.
@@armoredcorelore Oh. Well it seemed more like you were pronouncing it more in segments than one word.
Damn acv would have been better without all the screen clutter or at least without the screen glitches when hit
Fr fr
Nah it’s peak
@@gunrunners5283 well I hear there is a way to get rid of all the lock ons and other stuff on screen thanks to mods.
Man they had so many cool designs in these games. Too bad the story for AC5 was just so disjointed and verdict day was too late to fix it.
There are and well i think froms focus on making it multilayer was what took the attention away from the story.
