  • Spoilers duh... Comment if you know of more Michigan voice lines! I am currently missing the lines that play if you kill Iguazu first in the dam complex alt mission and there is a little bit of talk with Michigan and Handler Walter before the worm mission but it's pretty uneventful and not super funny or anything. May add more to this video later if more is found. I tried dying on the dam complex alt mission and haven't seen any Michigan lines from doing that either.

    It's incredibly moving hearing Michigan calling all his soldiers by name or callsign every time he addresses them. He doesn't allow any of his men belittle their own, even when they turn tail. He is too good of a leader, man...

      The fact that he knows his men by NAME (even the MT pilots) is showing that he is an amazing leader. Some could say "he in knows their name because it's shown on his display", but no, he even knows their character traits, so he really does KNOW them. His only mistake was giving Arcebus the suppression fleet. That's what probably turned the tide in the Corp war.

      Michigan is also the only one besides Rusty that knows 621's skill. He knows when he was going up against him in his last fight he's most likely to die in battle, unlike V.II Snail who is just an egotistical bastard heh.
      I kind of felt bad when I had to fight against the Red Guns. They are clearly the "good guys" vs Arqubus who seem to brainwash their soldiers to fight for them.

    You know that line where Michigan tells Iguazu to start a sewing club and sew that damn mouth of his shut? He wasn't just being an asshole. Iguazu was giving away key intel to someone outside Balam (you) and basically telling you the Redgun's next move as a group which is to attack the wall. Obviously Michigan isn't dumb enough to give away free info like that and told him to sew his mouth shut, not because he is annoyed with Iguazu talking but because he was giving away information that should be confidential to people outside of Balam. You can find a good explanation like this almost every single time Michigan is roasting the people under him. He even hires you to look out for his noobs on the dam complex mission even though it's such a simple task.

      tbh i often see many some people misunderstood Michigan's character. like he's disrespectful, rude to his underlings. but clearly missing the point. Michigan is actually a caring tough love warrior with a sassy silly mouth. he never really insult down someone out of nowhere especially driven by the ego of being superior. he slanders those of his arrogant pricks of underlings that needs humbling. and just bc he's got trashy mouth doesn't mean that he means it when he jokes around.

    Michigan was one of those few rational and grounded characters in the game that I've slowly come to respect through every playthrough.
    He comes off as rash and arrogant at first, but I've slowly come to understand that this is mostly just on the surface, and he's shown to be a lot more than just that.
    He's shown to have a lot of pride in his Redguns, but he also doesn't hesitate to take them down a peg or two if they ever started getting cocky, knowing that that kind of overconfidence can result in an early death. He's quick to defend his men's merits, but also just as quick to keep them grounded and never take their opponents lightly.
    He's also surprisingly pragmatic and rational, as he still offers contracts to 621 even after we mopped the floor with his two most promising rookies back in the dam mission. No further commentary, just treats it as an unfortunate circumstance and moves on.
    Whenever he raised his voice, it was definitely because someone messed up in what would be considered as "natural" in their line if work (Iguazu accidentally spilling the beans about Balam's plans to raid the wall, Iguazu and Volta(?) Getting overconfident upon seeing Index Dunham's AC, that one MT pilot who thought they can take it easy cause Arquebus only sent in one AC piloted by a mute psychopath against their overwhelming numbers, or 621 when we "forget" to bring our only trump card the Stun Needle Launcher against the Ice worm).
    Overall, he was a guy I'm finding really hard to hate. While other characters are complex in their ideals and motivations, he's just a simple as a rock.
    A very solid, sturdy rock, but can still smash your face in. He was the pillar of the Redguns, and I can understand why his men were willing to join him on a one-way trip to hell.
    Really a shame we couldn't get an ending where we sided with Balam, and eventually break the curse of G13 held over that bunch.

      From what I gather, G13 is the trainee rank, since fresh mercenaries don’t usually get to live long, or since most G13s who prove themselves are quickly given a position in the Redguns main ranks, G13 is effectively considered to be the worst Redgun. There’s a good chance that the trainee that was given the job of getting the AC product sample from Dafeng to the Redguns was G13, as the lucky number becomes available right after you kill the trainee in the mission.
      Effectively, Michigan was telling Iguazu that he expected better from G5 than to lose to G13, a full 8 ranks below. Either that or he expects Iguazu to reflect on why he lost to someone who he should have had an easy time with on paper, and improve in the future. Which Iguazu fails to do, as he hyper fixated on how their augments should give them similar advantages, and based his attempts to deal with 621 on the mentality of “if we keep fighting I’ve got to get at least one win right?” Only to go 0-4 in the Allmind route. 0-5 if you count phase one and two as separate fights, since his AC gets disabled in phase one and he uploads himself into a new one. Not even counting the fact that he loses a handful of un piloted AC’s and two C-Spiders in that fight as well. Not many people are having a good time on Rubicon, but from start to finish Iguazu is having the worst time possible.

      To be fair, realistically not everyone will take well to Michigan's style of leadership and such. Iguana's (This is intentional) response to it isn't the healthiest, as I believe most who didn't take well to the method in the past just told him they were leaving or something. Because as far as we know, there may have been members who stuck around and gave it a genuine try, but leaving when they saw it just didn't suit them. Wouldn't find it surprising either if Michigan is more lenient perhaps with those who join the Redguns willingly or at least gave it a chance (Unlike Iguana)

    Michigan is why I wanted to side with Balam. He's cool as hell and I love the Dafeng and Balam parts. It's too bad Balam basically obliterates itself trying to get underground. Giving Arquebus the recovered PCA fleet probably wasn't a great idea either on Michigan's part. G6, their liaison, is also great. It's a shame the rest of the Redguns seem pretty incompetent. AFAIK Volta dies at the dam or the wall, Iguazu is Iguazu, and the rest don't make much of an appearance it seems. Still it would've been fun to have more missions with the Redguns, even if it is just you showing up G5 and G4. At least Michigan's mission is a blast, the game really needed a mission (and maybe another 2 or 3) where you just waste a shitload of MTs.

And then even after he failed and run away Michigan still keep Iguazu as part of the Red Guns. Most will kick him out or just execute him for that.

He cares about every single men in his army and never insult them even he speaks to be jerk outside. Even description of his AC tells that every asset of his will be sent to his fellow colleagues after his death, this shows that he cares about his men a lot.

  • @VictorIV0310
    @VictorIV0310 8 місяців тому +3

    I don’t know why but I’m so obsessed with “Intercept the Redguns” from a narrative standpoint. At this point, Balam Industries is completely screwed now that Arquebus Corporation possesses the scavenged PCA tech to drive them off-world, pretty much all the Redguns have either deserted or were killed off and many of the lesser grunts and MTs were wiped out by the Watchpoint’s defenses and mass desertions occurring and all G1 Michigan has left of his forces are his most fanatical MT squadrons taking on a pointless mission of trying to take down Raven and hopelessly charge through NEPENTHES.
    But does he turn tail and run? No, he orders his soldiers to charge into battle against a single pilot of mass destruction (C4-621 Raven/V.IV Rusty) for a hopeless battle in the service of an uncaring corporation and dying senseless deaths on the battlefield, par for the course in the world of Armored Core. Sure, Michigan could’ve read the room and knew this to be a lost cause and joined the withdrawal from Rubicon 3 to face the wrath of Balam’s higher ups for his failure but he’ll be damned if he wasn’t going all in to “bag the big one” and take a shot at eliminating the Wall Climber, the Worm Killer and the only G13 who has lived this long.
    Even when he dies, does his MT squadron break and try to flee? No, they assert that Michigan gave it his all, stand their ground and continue to fight. If 621 dies, Michigan wastes no time calling in relief teams to the front to tend to the wounded.
    Even Handler Walter doesn’t sound ecstatic about killing Michigan off, simply telling 621 to get the job done. They must’ve known each other back on Jupiter when Walter was sent there as a boy before the Fires of Ibis erupted.
    I’m almost reminded of Stannis Baratheon and his ill-fated March to Winterfell from Game of Thrones (TV Series only! Book Stannis is very different and much more successful). Forces depleted from mass desertions and facing overwhelming odds with no hope of victory but goes down fighting.
    Goddamn, I so wish there was a route to side with Balam all the way, maybe a DLC or “AC6.1” game like For Answer and Verdict Day where we have more options to side with the other factions such as the PCA or BRANCH.

  • @kinorris1709
    @kinorris1709 9 місяців тому +4

    A lotta people are talking about how Michigan's abrasive attitude is his way of showing that he cares, such as how he lets the MT squads know they stand no chance against 621 and should keep their ejects primed, and tells anyone who doesn't want to die to pull out of the fight.
    One thing I'd like to add is how loyal his MT pilots are. When he flat out tells them that joining him in taking on 621 is a suicide mission, to join him "if you've got a death wish", one of his men says "ready to die sir" pretty enthusiastically.
    That sort of loyalty is kinda ironic in a beautiful way. His way of talking to his soldiers is meant to both inspire them to be better, to have a meaningful impact on the battlefield, but also to focus on surviving long enough to actually see the fruits of their labor, his line about throwing the cobalt medals is him hinting at how a medal isn't worth it if you have to die for it.
    Yet he inspires them so well that they disregard the latter point of his advice because sticking with him is what makes them feel like they're doing something meaningful.

Yes, genocide is extremely not good to say the least, but I got very attached to Walter. It hurts worse knowing that he'd been messed with by Arquebus by that point and wasn't actually his true self anymore. Ayre being there begging us not to fight made it even worse. Compare how he struggles to speak when you fight him in LoR vs how he and Carla talk as you clear out the inside of the Xylem in Alea Iacta Est. I was relieved ALLMIND didn't make me fight him again.

    Gun 1 Michigan was one of the characters that I geniunely liked the most, along with Rusty and a few other obvious ones.
    One of the reasons is his banter and headstrong personality, but also that he is the perfect opposite to V.II Snail!
    Snail is a backstabbing, heartless and deluded monster, his Vespers are mere pawns to be used and cast off.
    Michigan knows the name of all his soldiers, he cares about them all, fulfilling the arcetype of the paternal commander perfectly.
    The assassination mission made me feel like a damn monster and I absolutely love the way it made me feel.
    Even if it wasn't a good feeling, I was genuinely moved by his passing.
    Had I been able to have sided with the Redguns completely, I would have.

    I really see a wasted potential in Balam group. We have 2 main endings and a «secret» one, but none of them make us side with corps. We burn the Coral and beat corps strategically; side with RLF and beat the corps face to face; side with Allmind and kill everyone including corps... It would be good to have a 3rd main ending where we side with an only corp who don't look like *complete* jerks - Balam.
    Devs wouldn't even have to do very much. Just to add another turning point mission - not ambushing Vespers or killing Michigan, but defending Michigan from Rusty; make Balam units in University city friendly; and finally, add a few "get in, shoot sh*t, blast something, get out" missions like at the beginning of the game to turn the tide of war. Taking out Xylem mission would need only dialogues change so that we side with Balam instead of RLF.
    BAM! We get a logical and fun bad ending that fits in pretty good - embracing our merc identity or something like that. Not becoming a hero nor a villain, but staying a loyal mercenary G13 till the end.

    I also noticed how even Walter respects Michigan in the Attack the Dam complex by offering to pay for Volta's and Iguazu's repairs as well. He could have just said sorry about that but offers recompensation. So much in between the lines.

      on the main plot this wouldnt work because Arquebus is being covertly supported by Allmind(main reason why Balam seems weak in comparison)
      but as an extra story path this could be a thing afrter what we know of the all mind ending, after all G5 Iguazu has the potential to make contact with the coral conscioness which would spike Allmind's interest in keeping Balam in the fight for Rubicon.

    Michigan also has a line if Iguazu dies first in the Ice Worm mission, The exchange goes:
    Iguazu: Don't fail me now HEAD BRINGER, I can't be the first one.
    Snail: Is that the best that the Redguns could muster?
    Michigan: I see they sent in their top Vesper to mouth off, Gun 13 show them what we're made of.
    I got some of it wrong but that's the gist of it.

      replace "to mouth off" with "to provide commentary" and add "one of" before "their top" then replace Vesper with Vespers, and "Gun 13 show him that actions speak louder than words"

    This fight broke me personally.
    I always liked G1 Michigan. He's this kinda drill sergeant you'd easily take a bullet for in a war.
    Also:
    "Fine. Whoever gets to take down G13 gets to take home a Balam Cobalt Medal!
    ...They're good you know -- they go real far if you throw'em."
    This is funny AND sad at the same time.
    Funny cuz...you know - big guy throw medal haha.
    But also sad because this implies he got one of those medals at some point and for whatever reason he threw it away. So he was not happy over getting it - it was not worth it.
    This guy straight up rocks and it makes me sad that
    *Spoilers*
    There's no ending where you can side with Balam...why FromSoft? I wanna side with Michigan :(

      The cobalt medal thing I remember someone saying was him telling them that it wasn't worth it, but for different reasons I think than what you're theorizing. Can't fully remember what, but something about perhaps how such a medal is perhaps perceived in general by various militaries. I don't know, would have to try and look more into this
