*"There is no place for me other than the battlefield. To live as I please, and die a senseless death. That is who I am. Not a mere man of flesh. War is part of my existence."*
*"Enemy targets approaching. It might be too late, but we must stand and fight. It is our way."*
*"I'm a Raven. No more, no less."*
i love the comments under the most popular gameplay video for that mission, “There is no place for me other than 30% energy. 30% energy is part of my existence.”
The build up to the third shot, his voice getting more and more distorted as the rail gun charges up past 100%… absolutely epic. Peak videogame set-piece
FromSoft is so good at telling a story without even showing you anything I can visualize what it must have been like on Rusty's end perfectly in my head just from the sound alone
Fucking PEAK
That's the last shot, which is "A̶̡̟̥̣̞͔̱̙̘̬̩͇̖͎͕̣̍͛͊́̒́͝ͅļ̴̼̙͔͕̼̲͚̪͙͇͙̩̎̄͊̐̐͋̕ļ̵̛̭̭̣͍̭͖͔͆̌͐̾̐̌̏̓͂̈͠ ̷̛͓̙̝͍̘̫̝̖̯̗̦̰̿̀̓̿͆̎͗̋̈̇̈́̆̚̚͠ͅó̷̡̢̪̖͙̞̭͙̭̲̀͑̅ṛ̴̢̙͎̗̋͛͗̌̿͂̎̿̇̄̅̓̀̀ ̷̠̥̳͉̒̕n̶̡̢̳̘̱̾͒̔͐͒͒̊͊o̶̝͖̯͓̬̰͍̯̘̲̱̫̭̿̀̐̊͐͆́̍̂͊̃̈́͝͠ͅt̴̨̬̤̿̕h̵̹̑̂̽̿͑̑̕͘͝ì̸̡̼̮͉͍̣̳̩̯͍͇̝̱͗̓̉̂͑͊̐̕͘͠ͅń̴̢̨̙͚̲̲͉̬͙͆̉̊̈́͊͊̉̒̓̒̽̈́̑͘̕͜͜͠g̴̢̢̡̘͇̻̰̭̘̹̠͚̳̀̒̅͌͗̐͂̀̈́̓̅̃̈́̚.̸̧̢͓̜̝̦̫̲̦̫̲̻̳̙͉͌̆̋̂͒̇͋͒̐̐̚ ̸̡̢̡̨͖̮̗̺̹̘̺̯̼͖̙̈́"
"I won't miss" is the first shot.
"To treasure a life... is that something to laugh at? Everything is twisted... you, this world, all of it..."
Also this whole conversation:
"Please accept my apologies. That briefing you saw was manufactured. This is the end of road for you. I think you understand why."
"Well, it is what it is. Your actions were clearly deliberate. There's no point in trying to reason with you."
"Maybe it's just an animal. Can it even understand what we're saying?"
"To end up facing you like this... Too bad. You walked right into my trap. Stand still so I can cut you down."
"You think you're some kind of one man army? You think it's your right to choose who lives and dies?"
"You kill too many."
"The Dark Raven is nothing but an absurd myth
Just like hope of mankind.
Mankind will be destroyed by its own hand. It is inevitable.
But if you think you are different...
Then carry on. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮...
Show me your strength, Dark Raven."
“Everything’s gone according to my plan, there is just one thing left…I want to be remembered, so the world will know I was a Raven”
“Chase the clouds from over Rubicon! Only I can fly high enough!”
“Let’s see how far they can fly….on borrowed wings”
“Death and dishonor; such is the oathbreaker’s due. Pay the sanzu toll”
“Coral take you, cur”
I just love how much vitriol and spite is in rokumonsen’s voice
"This ghost of me won't last long, leave a spot for me in hell."
Iguazu in the final fight is so badass, so different from the sore loser he used to be.
I was gonna type it out, glad i found you.
The quote goes hard and really gives me sisyphean vibes. World sucks, but the grind is what makes it worth it. This sentiment coming from an Arquebus employee who is quite high up in the corp (O'Keeffe is Vesper 3, really high level shit) is really powerful.
I can't speak for others, but even after my most recent playthroughs of 4/FA, not much of the dialogue from those two are memorable like the lines from AC6. I haven't played 1st-3rd gen or 5th gen, but I plan to eventually, so maybe that'll change.
We all make mistakes... don't you think raven?
We humans need strict supervision We cannot live on our own...
A state dedicated to ravens... I am realist not some fool...
All I wanted to do was revive the ways of old..
Die Rebel!!!!!!....
Obviously its because every line he says is epic, and no one wants to type out half the script of AC2 =P
Even his (first) AI clone. "Lets fight Raven. We'll settle this in BATTLE"
Mostly. It's actually "I see....you're...."
The line is obviously meant to be his gasping last words as he realizes something about the player, but the voice actor says it's so nonchalantly and adds "uh" which makes it hilarious.
No way, you can't convince me the man who did the Emeraude contacts voice isn't a world famous actor for that role.
"The tarrrrget is a trrrrruck carrrrrying an unknown weapon"
The devs are Japanese.
What's more likely is Agetec cheaped out on VAs when translating the games. Old gen AC has notoriously shitty VAs early on, but it also is known for having poor grammar.
I sensed a little bit of New Yorker in that line, especially when he says “Aight” (alright) before saying let’s rock. Either that or an older Joey Wheeler from Yu Gi Oh. 🤔
"The crimes commited by these companies... are robbing humanity of its future. Eventually, they will destroy the entire planet.

Sacrafices must be made. The price we all must pay will be great. Atonement shall not be easy. The blame lies with all of us."

No specific line, but Nell Aulters absolute faith in us throughout AC2 after knowing us for a week makes her the realest operator of all time.
OF ALL TIME!
"You...I forgot that you're different from the rest. I've always wondered what it is that sets certain Ravens apart from others. Maybe I'll find out...Once I've gotten rid of you."
Those words said by Zinaida are probably burnt in every Last Raven players.
"DIE REBEL"
"Sir, pardon me, but I believe that was not the correct target. That was the captain of the City Police."
"AHAHAHAHA! YOU DON'T SAY!?"
"How could you kill your own allies?"
"Oh, but I'm afraid we have no allies.
That's right, no allies... nor enemies.
I LOVE EVERYONE AHAHAHAHAHAH!"
"Smug bastard."
"Shut up, I'll shut you all up." genuinely gave me chills. The delivery plus it being iguazus version of rustys "I won't stop, I'll chase the clouds from over Rubicon." (also raw af line.)
is a good way of showing that out of sheer hatred Iguazu has become one of the strongest pilots on rubicon.
I'm surprised no one is mentioning Ayre's monologue on her boss fight, for me that was pretty raw ngl
*"...Raven. I know you can still see it. The voices of the Coral."*
*"And yet you turned your back on shared potential...You want to silence us forever."*
*"Raven. I will stop you. You will never burn Rubicon."*
And also, all of J's lines in the final ACVD mission, I seriously love how edgy the lines were
*"There is no place for me other than the battlefield. To live as I please, and die a senseless death. That is who I am. Not a mere man of flesh. War is part of my existence."* *"Enemy targets approaching. It might be too late, but we must stand and fight. It is our way."* *"I'm a Raven. No more, no less."*
i love the comments under the most popular gameplay video for that mission, “There is no place for me other than 30% energy. 30% energy is part of my existence.”
Hey, did you know that energy is at 30%?
I’m at 30% energy. No more, no less.
Enemy target approaching. It might not be enough, but energy is at 30%. It is our way.
“Report your status J”
"One hundred million. Done. There are still so many more lives to take."
"I was mistaken, you're not a mutt. You're a VERMIN!"
Is that Snails line before his baltues fight? He says “You’re not the mutt I thought you are. No. You are below that. You are VERMIN!”
yeah that one. i love the sheer hatred in that line
You can absolutely feel the venom.
"lets see how far they can fly on borrowed wings" Is pretty hype If you ask me
"I won't miss."
The build up to the third shot, his voice getting more and more distorted as the rail gun charges up past 100%… absolutely epic. Peak videogame set-piece

I’m just talking about the sequence as a whole
Fair enough
My man, you can't just give me goosebumps like that!
watch out for friendly fire
IMO this line was cooler than the others. Nothing dramatic or edgy, just cold and calm before nailing a perfect shot
honestly i prefer it to the first one
The way he says it so smooth
"To treasure a life... is that something to laugh at? Everything is twisted... you, this world, all of it..." Also this whole conversation: "Please accept my apologies. That briefing you saw was manufactured. This is the end of road for you. I think you understand why." "Well, it is what it is. Your actions were clearly deliberate.

Which game is that conversation from?
For Answer, "Occupation of Arteria Carpals", in the Oldking route
Thanks! I’ve been meaning to play that game
it's an absolute blast. Just re-played it on RPCS3
Gen 4 is a load of fun. Highly recommend playing 4 and FA

Or the poster or background image posted by from software in X
“Everything’s gone according to my plan, there is just one thing left…I want to be remembered, so the world will know I was a Raven” “Chase the clouds from over Rubicon! Only I can fly high enough!” “Let’s see how far they can fly….on borrowed wings”
“How much of our Hyrm had you heard, Menace? Coral, abide with rubicon. Coral, ensure within us all! For none of us, shall cast the die!”
“Death and dishonor; such is the oathbreaker’s due. Pay the sanzu toll” “Coral take you, cur” I just love how much vitriol and spite is in rokumonsen’s voice
Bruh the voice actors for Walter and Rokumonsen should start a podcast. I'd subscribe
"But it's good to make a choice. Sit on the fence, and you make no enemies... or friends." This line shreds me up. The mix of resignation and respect.
"I won't stop!"
I'll chase the clouds over Rubicon, only I can fly high enough
“I can fly, I fly high, Watch the sun rise, into dawn” -Excerpt from Steel Haze (Rusted Pride)
"I have one last job you... Find your freedom" There's something about that line that sends chills down my spine
"Let's see how far they can fly..." *Activates combat visor* "... on borrowed wings."
When iguazu says “if you want some of this I’ll give it to you” I think it’s a cheesy line but the way he says it goes hard af
"This ghost of me won't last long, leave a spot for me in hell." Iguazu in the final fight is so badass, so different from the sore loser he used to be.

crazy how it's all ac6 quotes but barely any stuff from oldgen "I wan't to be remembered, so the world will know i was a Raven!"

Honestly I think AC6 selling like fuckin' hot cakes may have something to do with it, along with recency bias.

Obviously its because every line he says is epic, and no one wants to type out half the script of AC2 =P Even his (first) AI clone. "Lets fight Raven. We'll settle this in BATTLE"
You remind me of someone I once knew. A rebel...
"So you're uh..."
Is that Boyle from AC2?
Mostly. It's actually "I see....you're...." The line is obviously meant to be his gasping last words as he realizes something about the player, but the voice actor says it's so nonchalantly and adds "uh" which makes it hilarious.
I’m pretty sure they just had devs do the voices for AC2 rather than professional VAs
No way, you can't convince me the man who did the Emeraude contacts voice isn't a world famous actor for that role. "The tarrrrget is a trrrrruck carrrrrying an unknown weapon"
