Did you know you can actually see the Strider wreckage if you look backwards from the starting point. Grid 086 is also visible in the strider mission, in the top right part of Bona Dea Dunes
Nossacc (or however his name is spelled) wasn't hired to eliminate you. He was hiding from loan sharks because he borrowed too much money. You can find an AC wreck of a loan shark in the opposite tube, and Nossacc also thought that you were a loan collector when you found him.
@@humha7613 the more fitting genre for armored core will be like escape from tarkov style extraction royal style. Since it is Mercernies games too. It fit in the AC world. You take missions see couples of briefings and fly to the open world map that fill will military weapons, MT and bosses and do your missions. You also fine other AC doing their own things. There are courps AC( AI) and Independence (players). The missions will be range from extract certain items, Vip, assassins someone in transport aircraft, destroy enemies bases, go to city and kill certain people in civilian populated city, participate in big missions/operations from big corps that multiple AC, spaceship, tank and Corps MT will fight eachother.
@@humha7613 I agree, I don't want any open world shenanigans in Armored Core, but expansive interconnected level layouts like the Grid can be further expanded upon
Very nice work here Glint. Grind 086 does feel like it own little world with all that is going on. The mts, all the moving parts and the sounds. Its a fun level to enjoy and just watch everything work.
Thanks ACL! Yeah I really like how it feels the grid itself has always been there, just working and active before, during and after the players visiting it
Hell yeah! I always wanted to go onto the grids after the first mission… and pretty much every time we see them in the background, getting to gird 086 got me pump up!
Grid 086 is when armored core had finally got me hooked, for me, armored core had been these shades of militaristic desert camo and bland drab deserts and desecrated urban buildings, finally seeing that after the Baltaeus fight got me hooked on the game, hell any grid or desert mission are my favorites in the game
That intro is so good, can see this one has been cooking for a bit. Good examination of one of my favourite levels in the game, it's a great flexible sandbox of encounters with different levels of difficulty and very open vertically that allows us to start those encounters as you see fit making it a nice playground to test your AC vs different MT types with a layout so good they used it more than once and like you said it's also a good introduction to RaD and one of the most memorable characters in the game.
Fun fact about Nosaac, if you run away from him and fly back up the pipe without killing him, he has special dialogue! There's also dialogue for if you then come back after that as well. It inspired me to see if other similarly hidden ACs had the same, but I never found any. SPOILERS AHEAD: On the mission where you can fight G6 Red by going down into the area with all the fire, a mission area boundary actually traps you in until you kill him. I thought it was kind of lame at first, but (and this might not be intentional, just lack of a recorded line, I could be coping) after thinking a bit it made a lot of sense. Your operator for that mission is ALLMIND, not Ayre or Walter, and they want every trace of you scrubbed so they can fake your death. Plus, it's likely ALLMIND just wants as many pilots dead as possible, both so they don't get in their way and so they can steal as many souls of old-gen pilots as possible.
Ahhh you're the only other person who's ever mentioned this about the Nosaac fight! And, there IS another case of this special dialogue; Ring Freddie in the mission where you have to destroy the PCA LCs and HC.
Armored Core 6 succeeded masterfully at dynamic map-design which is something what Armored Core For Answer failed to do, despite the fact that I enjoyed ACFA I should acknowledge that ACFA in many missions it was too empty, too open (mostly because of how fast-paced it was but I felt it could've done it differently). Armored Core 6 on the other hand succeeds in that category, not one area feels too empty or open, just enough for heavy action combat while having no areas that are flat. Even the backgrounds just seeing multiple large Grid areas make the world feel believable, alive and a lot going on which is what I expect in Sci-Fi fictional worlds where buildings (great and small) are everywhere.
086 was so cool with the little secrets. It made me wish the other levels had as many nooks and crannies, especially since you were supposed to play the game 3 times anyways.
What I think they could expand upon in AC6 dlc or AC7, is open areas with multiple interesting objectives that you can tackle in different orders. AC6 sort of has this but only with missions where the focus is scanning stuff, but I think small but focused open worlds as individual levels would benefit player agency significantly
Yeah basically just a bigger more complex version of the grid, but I think balancing healing and classic mission structure with exploration might be tough
@@SilverGlint I think a very easy way of balancing with healing would be by replenishing heals (and ammunition) when you complete one of the objectives of the level. That way you won’t need extra heals that could ruin the excitement of combat
086 is a truely well designed area. You know it was good because it got used for 3 different missions and each time didnt feel like it was just being reused but felt like it was necessary to return too.
What was a great design was that kick-ass production value introduction to this video! Especially with that Michael Bay transformer-esk theme music that I love every time I hear it! You're editing skills are top-notch these days! But I do have to agree with you, Grid 086 slowed the pace of the game down because the players' curiosity made them want to explore every nook and cranny that this area had to offer. The airship would have been another great one but, we were limited by it boundaries most of the time which made it linear. >_
Grid 086 is easily my favorite level as it is filled with lots of actions and lots of hidden secrets like logs that you have to go out of your way to find.
What would've made it better in my opinion is if you get access to both missions on 086 in NG++. Since both start at different locations, From could have you retracing your steps. To really make it feel like you are making amends to Carla for the shitstorm you've kicked up.
Very well thought out. About half way thru. Waiting for my customers to finish with my finance manager before I get them out of here. Can’t wait to watch/listen to the rest on my way home
Not to be that guy, but the concept of multiple missions ocurrying in several areas of the same larger map is something the Armored Core has done from the very beginning. Grid 086 feels like an expanded version of the same concept, but done with a much bigger budget and experiences after 2 decades of making games. It's something From Software has done in all its games since the beginning of the studio, where they constantly improve or rework previous ideas they had or did on previous entries of the same franchise or even different ones they worked at.
You're very correct in being that guy, this is exactly the case, froms games since inception, particularly AC titles have always leaned on this philosophy, which in turn lead to dark souls being made. This is a continuation of an established design Hallmark of the whole studio, that's been cultivated for decades
@@SilverGlint Yep, in fact the very first game has several missions in the same underground complex, but you are only given access to different levels of the same map depending of the mission. Rather than simply recicle the same map and pretend it's a new area with no relation, they outright tell you they still need you to "clean" the place and retrieve a valuable asset. It's sad to see they decided to cut the 3D Map function after the 4th gen, since it really worked to convey the size of the maps at the time, and your progress throught the missions.
Ah grid 86. One of my most replayed missions. If there's only one gripe I have with the grids is that we don't get to explore the top of them other than the sea spider fight, which is by the end near the edge of it.
So, this is all Kojima inspired speculation and boarder nonsense from my part but it bears mention, I guess: we get introduced to "Cinder" Carla but also "Chatty" Stick here. Ayre lays the foundation on how to interpret their written names when she elaborates the meaning of "Cinder", specifically affirming the usage of quotation marks for a nickname or inside joke. As you play through the game "Chatty" becomes quite easy to interpret, Carla never could get him to say more then necessary and inversely he was never able to understand her motto "get your laughs off while you can" ensuing an intriguing dynamic between the reserved AI and his eccentric creator. As to how Kojima ties into this, pun intended, he's the person that introduced me to the idea of the stick and the rope, he had this whole philosophical thesis going on in the run up to Death Stranding wherein the stick is analogues to warding of the bad and the rope to secure the good. Considering Carla is the feminine version of Carl, as in Carl Jung, the name Stick might have pretty deep implications. The feminine Carla creating, and interacting with, the masculine Stick has interesting implications if you read the later's arena profile from a Jungian perspective. It's also worth the mention Carla specifically made Stick without backup server, she did so to preserve is identity, effectively allowing him to experience mortality. In a broader philosophical sense, harkening back to Kojima, the name might symbolise the dual nature of tools and technology wherein the stick represents a tool that can be used for control and punishment, while the rope symbolises a tool used for connection and creation. This duality is often present in Kojima's work and, I'd argue, frontmost and centre to the narrative of Armored Core 6. That does beg the question of what happened to rope? Well.. there is another AI that, opposed to Stick who's all body, is of all mind; who'm Carla seemingly has a backdoor into, or at the very least is capable of manipulating somewhat, as demonstrated in her arena battle; who's feminine and shares similarities with Carla's personality and traits; and, arguably, could originate the RRI where one Carla used to work, perhaps, before her outlook on tools and technology changed; who's for all mercenaries, opposed to just Carla. Whilst that is, as mentioned before, all speculation and nonsense in a way there is the fact that AllMind names herself Markson, as in son of Marcus, as in Marcus Antonius, as in Ceasar's right-hand man. Kate, by the way, short for Katherine which could originate from the Greek katharos meaning pure or unsullied.. Kinda cute, right? The "unsullied" son of Marcus, it's almost as if there' a precedent for such ironic naming; that is if we're to assume the fires of Ibis necessitated the restoration from backup. I will say however, it is us that "let the die be cast" arguably making us Ceasar's analogue which would suggest a Marcus more along the lines of Brutus; in which case Rusty's ALBA would probably reference Alba Longa and thus would equate the fires of Ibis with the burning of Troy. I'm not cohesive enough to truly puzzle this all together, I wouldn't be eloquent enough the phrase it either; I've always just been really inspired by the likes of Miura, Kojima and Miyazaki from an early age and thus read a lot of random history, mythology, philosophy, esoteric scripture, literature etc etc.
This was one of the most interesting comments I've read on my comment section ever, thanks for sharing your ideas and articulating them pretty perfectly
Its the stage with most rewards in the game and one of the ones it took me the most to S rank. I also like the Grid 012 area (Honest Brute Mission) and how far one can fly and explore.
If every stage was as good as Grid 086, Armored Core VI would have fared more memorably in the mainstream. Sadly it's the only stage with this level design in mind. The rest don't even come close sadly.
I really didn't care much for grid 086, until I finished all 3 endings and was cleaning my achievements. I realized, oh shit, this level is way bigger than I thought, this is the coolest mission in the game
I try to play this level every day, ever since I unlocked it I can't help but do runs of 086. It's loaded with secrets and things to fight. You can kill everything, or skip all the enemies in speed runs that take your AC through twisting corridors, wide open spaces, and epic battles. Traps, destructible objects, a couple of battles with ACs, multiple Terapod MTs, and an amazing, dangerous bossfight. What did I do to deserve something THIS awesome??
Well to be fair this sort of layout and map design has been present since forever, especially in earlier armored core games, I guess one could say this is more of a natural evolution of the series, or that demon's souls was Inspired by armored core's previously established ideas! We do need more of this though
Man, I was so confused for a moment when I was just listening to this while making supper. I was like, "Wait, why do I hear Zentreya in this video?", lol. Good video though. I thought I had explored this area pretty well, but it sounds like I still missed a couple things.
I liked the missile defence at the watchtower. Nice change of pace from the assault jobs we take all the time. The xylem one was more iffy. Though really, I wish there was one more escort mission.
@@alephkasai9384 and @SilverGlint I think defense missions can be fun but this was just a really boring attempt at it imo. I'd guess about 90 percent of both missions are just spamming small mt squads. This mission tries to spice things up with the PCA warship however that's the most underwhelming enemy in the game. The AI act really dumb too as they just ignore you and rush the objective. I feel they needed to add more enemies and different enemy types to make it more interesting. Would be cool if you had allies of your own too. Like your own little MT squad or a friendly AC to balance out the bigger enemy force.
Yeah I'm dead serious, if you go back and play through any previous iteration of these games, including the PS3 launch title, you'll see a night and day difference. In any case even to contemporary standards this is a certified W on how to do world building.

Oh my I got it completely wrong then my bad! Thanks for the correction( just goes to show there are even more details in it than I thought)
Grid 086 feels like the closest thing Armored Core has to an open world
It really does, I hope they lean more into this sort of thing in the future
As cool as it sounds. I would prefer that Armored Core TO STAY THE CUR AWAY FROM THAT GENRE
So a massive wasteland full of nothing?

How'd ya get that Grid 086 text at the beginning to look so natural? Did ya port it in game? Made a 3d asset outside and greenscreened it?
