Thanks Chaotik! I love your content! Sorry for my my super slow presence on here, I've had to juggle a few unexpected things this month (work + family obligations + sudden family emergency + travel) that unfortunately occured in sequence after I posted. I figured I'd have a chill month to go full speed ahead, but boy was I wrong 😅 Thankfully things have settled down and I've had a chance to sit down again. Also, Happy New Year! 😄
This is exactly what everybody who plays aether gazer needs to watch if they don't understand the story cuz I feel like it's not straightforward whatsoever and this just explains it so well. They should sponsor you and include your video as a nice little tutorial in the game!
Bro came out of nowhere and dropped probably the best video about Aether Gazer lore. Hope you return with more AG lore recaps, as a lot has happened in-game since your last upload and the story goes harder than ever. I usually read the story but I've forgotten a lot of it, I'd really appreciate experiencing them again through your recaps as they're easily digestible and I don't always have time to reread everything in-game.
really good video and super accurate, even about the meaning of Shifting Flowers/Shifted Stars! One minor typo is Asura's Sephirah Zone is Shashvat, mentioned in one of her dossier files.
a great game just to be clear..the Admin wasn't a normal human at the 1st place he could survive a hit was meant to k!ll a mod(verthandi) before losing his memories
MAAAAN I love this SO MUCH???? As a new player starting out I quickly realized that besides the amazing gameplay/combat and beautiful graphics there is an interesting story but the "small talk" portions of the dialogue sometimes are a bit too much so a video like this and so well made is very VERY appreciated, thank you for your hard work, keep doing you. One thing that still confuses me about the story is that if the original Earth is overtaken by nanobots how comes the nanobots didn't disrupt the humans from loading their consiousness into gaia and how comes the nanobots haven't destroyed the Gaia technology already since they could probably load or connect themselves with the Gaia technology?
Thank you! Those questions haven't been explored by the game yet sadly. I think it's possible that the nanobots (at least initially, and possibly still) don't know about Gaea. They had to spread across the entire world (which would take a while), so the humans most likely hurried to finish Gaea, upload whoever they could and launch it into space before the nanobots got to them. That's also in line with Gaea Zero itself rushing and basing Gaea on Earth in 2100 instead of taking the time to make a better world (although at one point in the game, Shu states that trying to create a paradise would likely also have come with its own computational problems). As for why the nanobots don't just destroy Gaea, I see two likely possibilities: (1) they don't know humans are hiding in Gaea, and either they don't care to investigate whatever remnant human satellites are floating up in space or Gaea can mask itself from scans, or (2) they know about humans and they ARE trying to destroy Gaea -- maybe the Visbanes were actually planted by the nanobots to eradicate the remnants of humanity. There are plenty of other reasons but those feel like the most likely to me. I guess we'll have to see as the story unfolds 😂
Can't wait to watch. I'm locked to Japanese and there's some weird sci-fi words I just can't read all that well. Thanks for releasing something like this!
Thank you for this video!! Even for someone who has read all lore and story, it was very helpful in summarizing everything so i could get a better overall picture. Definitely a lot of information i wasnt clear on and in the future i can come back to this. Cant wait for your other ag story videos!!
Thanks for this!! The lore of this game seems so great but it threw so much at me at once it was a little hard to keep up. Between the main story and dealing with the events to not miss out on stars I was starting to get confused lol. I also didn’t get a good grasp of the basics of the world. This video is exactly what I needed! I’ll be keeping an eye on your channel :)
As someone who plays several gacha games simultaneously out of boredom, I do not spend the time to actually follow every single story. Your vid help me understand this world (as an Aether Gazer day-1 global player) and it motivates me to go back and watch story/events. Great recap and I'll sub for more!
Great video! The admin's role is more meaningful now. One point about Gaea's resetting: It has happened multiple times, and I think we are on the 5th reset (This can be found in gaea's notes during Marduk's event). This has been featured in the summer event as well, where Levi's new weapon counterside is an anomalous relic from the previous era (previous reset), hence the entire region disappeared after they left.
Funnily enough, this is one of those headscratchers that really got me 😅 I chose to be cautious with my word choice just in case (so I eventually settled on "it's unclear" rather than "it's never happened"), but my eventual conclusion was that those reboots probably shouldn't be counted as part of the real thing. The notes read to me as failed attempts to develop Gaea -- the developers rebooted the system while they were testing different parameters (on what the notes describe as an increasing number of "volunteers"), so it's not actually Gaea itself performing reboots after the final, self-governing version of Gaea was successfully launched and opened to mankind, but something like a dev-controlled closed beta. What's also worth noting is that the Deviation Rate didn't even exist until the 4th iteration, so for those previous resets, Gaea couldn't have used it as a metric to reboot itself. This was all the development team's doing. The 5th version appears to be the version that "worked" best, which the developers finally settled on, opened up to the world and (for those who survived Earth's radiation) entered themselves, and the version we have "now". I also suspected that Countertide Whalesong is from before a reboot but (minor spoiler warning, feel free to ignore the rest of my rambling) a CN player I mentioned my thoughts to says it isn't 🥲I didn't ask more because I don't want to spoil myself, so that one's still up in the air. Whatever the truth is, I really like the idea of Leviathan surviving a reboot, which would explain why her past doesn't line up with Skadi's version of events and why the Countertide Whalesong would pick her given it also appears to be an anomaly. Before I spoke to that CN player, my thought was that it might even have had some connection to her in another timeline. But ah well, I guess we'll see 😄
so much work went into this video and it shows, this is very helpful for a returning player like me who forgot the whole story, thank you so much for making this vid!
ohh I really love lore content about gachas. Need more because I prefer spending time playing than reading. Playing more than one gacha with good stories really make me pick which story I will read but knowing all of them have good stories is sad
Thanks falka ^^ I'll definitely look into doing some PGR stuff once I've caught up to AG -- I really enjoy PGR too, I'm just not too sure how much research it would take yet haha
This was the Video I was lookin for.. good thing It popped up o throu someone elses community feed! Very, very well done thank you for the Video.. The lore is very interesting.. I had an Idea what was happening but wasnt exactly sure on the details... looking forward for more. Also, I am not the brightest bulb.. so.. "Earth" is empty and "Humans" only exist inside "Gaea".. Modifiers are not "original Human conciousness" but they originate from data.. the actual "Humans" are roaming around this new digital world and the characters we play as are this defensive mechanism taken form? Are they consideret self aware or do they just follow orders?
I love the way they justified using mythological figures with the gen zones. It is speculated that the next gen zone or zones will be Heaven and Hell, from Ladon's cryptic tale to the more obvious texts from getting enough achievements talking about demons and gates of paradise and such. Plus just imagine the mods we could get
Great video. Wow I skipped the story & stuff to keep up with the seasons & stars. But since I broke my clavicle. I can't work for a year. So I'mma make sure to listen to them now. Especially since jin wu is coming & I really like her . Then osiris , shinri & buzenbo tengu too
Great content, man! I'm from Brasil and I don't like very much the way that the story is told in the game, with static images and text most of the time, so I skip most of it. But I'm really interested to know more of it now that more cool characters are coming, so I really look foward to see more videos like this, thanks!
I usually skip the most of the story but the dreams undreamed story got me kinda hooked ngl Its kinda funny how the ending was literally "but it was all a dream" lol
Great video bro definitely subscribing, maybe for content you can do lore videos on the actual modifiers, I would love to learn more on my fav characters
Thank you very much! You're doing a huge favor for this community. This lore is so interesting, and yet, so few people talk about it. To be fair, the first chapter is mediocre and doesn't do a good job explaining the setting (which is why I've seen a lot of people thinking it's a SAO ripoff 😓). Maybe it would be better if Ver's heart link was the actual 1st chapter. At any rate, I really appreciate your video, and I hope you can cover more of Aether Gazer's lore. 👍
Unfortunately, I'm not too sure yet. In Oceanus' Heart Link story it mentions that he's able to change his appearance using his abilities and so he just keeps pretending to be a new person. Aether Gazer has a relationship with the CORG Supreme Directorate (an important group I left out of the lore video after some deliberation, which I'll defo cover soon) who have the ability to modify or erase memories, so I wouldn't be surprised if the CORG helps them out by simply changing/wiping all of their past information when they need ask to. It would be like the government issuing you a new identity. I also wouldn't be surprised if Aether Gazer can do it themselves... they've got the Dream system that lets them enter dreams. There just (as far as I can remember) hasn't been an instance where they've directly changed someone's memories
This was awesome! Way better told than the actual game, great job man, earned my like and my subscribe, hope you release additional story content for the game!
Sorry for taking forever to reply, I've been on a bit of hiatus!! Q_Q The game definitely uses the term "Earth" (capitalised) which implies it's our world, but since it never actually mentions any known country by name it really could be a different Earth. It feels to me like they'd deliberately left it vague. So... I'd say it's really up to your interpretation 😄
Hey Jose! Sorry, I originally meant to post a video on the same week as the first one, but the last two months have been crazy both at work and at home. Thankfully things have settled and I should be able to post this weekend :) EDIT: This may take slightly longer than anticipated 😅But I definitely haven't died or anything!

Given Aether Gazer is painfully underrated, Content like this are really needed. Splendid work!
This video is Incredible!

This is a great video, it was very informative. Easily digestible, and generally had a feel of someone truly caring.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it!😄

Agreed 100%. So many things ingame clicked into place after watching this video. Hope to see him return one day with more videos
really good video and super accurate, even about the meaning of Shifting Flowers/Shifted Stars! One minor typo is Asura's Sephirah Zone is Shashvat, mentioned in one of her dossier files.
Dammit, I knew there'd be something 😂 Thanks for that, I'll add it to the video description!
Bro this is really well made! Kudos to your hardwork
Thanks a tonne! I appreciate it
Damn, u doing good bruh, keep it going!☺
🥰
a great game
just to be clear..the Admin wasn't a normal human at the 1st place
he could survive a hit was meant to k!ll a mod(verthandi) before losing his memories
Finally a lore coverage of the game
I love watching lore videos about the games I play and I sincerely hope to see more.
This video was very concise and easy to understand.
great vid man, keep it up!
MAAAAN I love this SO MUCH????

Nanobots can't come into outer space. GAIA server is located in a megasatellite that orbits earth.
@@minuteman21Stardust nanobots can evolve. who knows if one of them reached Gaia and started the Visbanes
Can't wait to watch. I'm locked to Japanese and there's some weird sci-fi words I just can't read all that well. Thanks for releasing something like this!
You're welcome, hope you enjoy it 🙂
Great video! Look forward to the next one!
Thank you ^^
Thank you for the lore video. I always skip everything ingame just for the combat 😂. This video helps me understand more about the story.
Thank you for this video!! Even for someone who has read all lore and story, it was very helpful in summarizing everything so i could get a better overall picture. Definitely a lot of information i wasnt clear on and in the future i can come back to this. Cant wait for your other ag story videos!!

The video we never asked for but still needed
Finally a lore video of AG
Stardust Calamity: hello from AG
Punishing pandemic: hello from PGR

so much work went into this video and it shows, this is very helpful for a returning player like me who forgot the whole story, thank you so much for making this vid!
Amazing video! Loved the editing and the details explained, thank you for doing this!!!
EYYO SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY MAKE CONTENT ABOUT AG LORE?? KEEP IT UP BROTHER, LOVE UR VIDEO SO MUCH 🔥🔥
Thank you for this! I've been looking someone who would summarize the lore and story for Aether Gazer! I'm looking forward to the other summaries.
appreciate your work for explaining aether gazer lore. such a splendid work!
i usually skip cutscenes so this video has been really informative. keep up the good work my guy and hope seeing more soon!
I was looking for something like this for a while now. Great work
Thank you very much….such a awesome video…the quality is superb
Thank you for this great lore video and great editing and audio as well subbed.
Great Video. Its about time this amazing game and its immerse lore gets some recognition. Please make more. Ill be here to watch here...
Tq ❤
Thanks for doing this very well made video!
This is great. Very informative, i've been interested in the lore/story of Aether Gazer but never really fully understood them.
The newest story is definitely going to bring more interests to the game and a lot of new players can use this video. Great work 👍
ohh I really love lore content about gachas. Need more because I prefer spending time playing than reading. Playing more than one gacha with good stories really make me pick which story I will read but knowing all of them have good stories is sad
Appreciate the video. Really enjoying the game but its just a whole lot to go through and take in.
Great video. Hope to see more in the future
Nice video sir, now i understand a bit about the world in this game, i hope you make more video like this for the future story
This is such a nice Video, keep up the good job for Aether Gazer
Well done
This was amazing. Learnt so much about aether gazer from this
Really appreciate the lore of Aether Gazer! Thanks!
This is a really good video, pls more content, maybe if you've played it, do a punishing gray raven one! :3
Thanks falka ^^ I'll definitely look into doing some PGR stuff once I've caught up to AG -- I really enjoy PGR too, I'm just not too sure how much research it would take yet haha

Yep 😄They're self aware, they were given human forms, thoughts and emotions so they could do their job better
I love you
Zackie Senpai!! I love you too man!! Thank you so much for all of your guide videos!!
thank you, I'm finally caught up lol
I love the way they justified using mythological figures with the gen zones. It is speculated that the next gen zone or zones will be Heaven and Hell, from Ladon's cryptic tale to the more obvious texts from getting enough achievements talking about demons and gates of paradise and such. Plus just imagine the mods we could get
Great work! i never knew the game had this deep of a lore
Man the shifted flower origin story is crazy……why I never payed attention
Very helpful thank you!
Thank you for the video.
Amazing video!
Thank you!
Great video. Wow I skipped the story & stuff to keep up with the seasons & stars. But since I broke my clavicle. I can't work for a year. So I'mma make sure to listen to them now. Especially since jin wu is coming & I really like her . Then osiris , shinri & buzenbo tengu too

division 9 huh, ghost in the shell sure do leave a lot of impression on people
I was waiting on someone to do a lore video. I was considering doing something like this but in a more written form.
I usually skip the most of the story but the dreams undreamed story got me kinda hooked ngl
Its kinda funny how the ending was literally "but it was all a dream" lol
I'll be waiting for the next stories of aether gazer.
Great video bro definitely subscribing, maybe for content you can do lore videos on the actual modifiers, I would love to learn more on my fav characters

Do they ever explain how modifiers handle not aging with their human connections?
Unfortunately, I'm not too sure yet. In Oceanus' Heart Link story it mentions that he's able to change his appearance using his abilities and so he just keeps pretending to be a new person. Aether Gazer has a relationship with the CORG Supreme Directorate (an important group I left out of the lore video after some deliberation, which I'll defo cover soon) who have the ability to modify or erase memories, so I wouldn't be surprised if the CORG helps them out by simply changing/wiping all of their past information when they need ask to.

There just (as far as I can remember) hasn't been an instance where they've directly changed someone's memories
thank you for making this! aether gazer have lores that are too deep, it's kind of difficult to point out which is which.
you got a sub, can you do lore on the chapters?
really hope skuld and the admin become a canon thing, I really liked their relationship
wow thanks
This was awesome! Way better told than the actual game, great job man, earned my like and my subscribe, hope you release additional story content for the game!
Based
So, the Matrix where you’re the NetOp of multiple NetNavis themed after mythologies.
Or .hack//Gray Raven in a nutshell, too.
The first few minutes sounds oddly like pgr
True 😄
Damn nano bots scary!
Afyer this I'll play Aether Gazer instead if Hi3. Story is sick and they got English dub too
Hooray. Do one for pgr as well
the currency is deep XD all them useless summons with no future in them XD
I hope you make more ♥️
Nice are u going to do pgr too
so what happened to the bodies back on the real world? were they all destroyed by the nanobots?
Unfortunately, yes 😅 Everyone on Earth should be dead -- but you never know, there could be some kind of plot twist someday lol
Please do more!!!
dammm even the gacha mechanic is part of the lore
Wow best game
Fr 😄
I need recap on the story chapter too!
Heyy a question! Was the earth before the disatser based on our earth or is it thier own earth?
Sorry for taking forever to reply, I've been on a bit of hiatus!! Q_Q The game definitely uses the term "Earth" (capitalised) which implies it's our world, but since it never actually mentions any known country by name it really could be a different Earth. It feels to me like they'd deliberately left it vague. So... I'd say it's really up to your interpretation 😄
when will the next video be
