Armored Core 20th Anniversary Special Disk 02: 10 - Shining -Call Me Again-

No more cry boy Because we've got a TGA award for you.

I only discovered armored core recently through armored core 6, but this still makes me feel so nostalgic somehow

To live as we please, and die a senseless death. That is who we are.

Fellow Ravens... we're home. We are finally home.

No more cry boy because...AC IS FUCKING BACK BABY

There's so much of a finality towards this piece. Like the ravens of the past looking at the new current Raven, 621. "Fly high, 'cause we are beside you."

This song is literally distilled springtime for me, how'd it end up in such a melancholy and tragic franchise?

Anime opening: Day After Day Fight song: Fall Ending: Call Me Again

this sounds like a shoulder to cry on

世界がめちゃくちゃになってもカラスはまた羽ばたくよ

In the fires of Ruricon, we rise from the ashes once more, not as Phoenix's reborn but as Ravens of Old

I'll be called to your glow and joining the Ravens next year because Armored Core is back! It's a series I'd been interested in but just missed. So glad I'll get a shot at it.

This song finally makes the vocals of the original clear, and in doing so, we hear that the first line in the song, this whole time, was "No More Cry." Look up the Armored Core 3 OST, and the menu music from the game, which is also sort of AC3's overture, is titled "no more cry." I think I get why this remix sounds the way it does now. Think back to AC3: DOVE (known as The Controller outside of Japan, or at least in the US) was malfunctioning, so you had only two options: One, let it destroy humanity and truly end the world as it was known; Two, destroy the Controller and leave humanity's fate with the Corporations that caused the very Great Disaster humanity had to take shelter from in the first place. Obviously, your choice was #2, and although Silent Line showed some level of peace as Earth was slowly being rebuilt, when Nexus starts, in strolls Navis, meddling with the other corporations' activities and monopolizing a useful, rare resource. Kisaragi, blinded by greed, teams up with Navis to get in on that dough as they try to topple Crest and Mirage, who both already have strong disagreements in resource sharing and territory. War is about to happen again, and DOVE, the Controller, is no longer able to regulate everything. Humanity's fate hung in the Corporations' balance, and here they were, dumb as ever, ready to make the same mistakes again over bitter rivalries. If another Disaster happened, if another extinction event came knocking on humanity's door... would they be able to survive it this time? The song takes a somber and melancholic tone, because it's highlighting the one horrible truth to Nexus' storyline: From Navis' introduction to their suicide drone attack at the end that DID send the world back to a Great Disaster, there was never a good option for humanity's future, even in 3. For what it's worth, though... you probably gave humanity the best chance it'd ever get again. Would humanity survive, or would the world end? Only time will tell. Only the Last Raven will know.

No more cry boy, Cause I'm beside you No more cry for, Cause I'm beside you Shining and believing, Shall I too come out

the osts for these games make me weep. wtf. how is it so fucking good. something about the combination of these beautifully soft lyrics against the brutality of everything in the games just gets to me. god, it’s so brilliant. what the FUUCKKK!!!!

euphoria... this is my home... to kill without a second thought... and die a sensless death...

we back baby armored core 6
