621, got a job for you.

It comes from... wait, something isn't right. I don't recognize this corp, Buy N Large? They want you to find... a plant? I guess it's easy money. Get out there. Oh, and one more thing, I saw your new AC in the garage. Are you really going out in that thing? Well, if you're sure.

Allow me to rant about Rusty and his theme for a moment okay.

spoilers for Armored Core 6 below.

Okay so first off Rusty's theme is so fucking good I love it so much.

It just has this sense of determination and righteous justice to it. It's so powerful and it fits his character incredibly well. If you've finished chapter 5 you know what I mean. Hearing this song kick in when you and Rusty team up to take down the Xylem makes everything feel worth it. "FUCK YEAH." Admittedly, I havent gotten the other ending (yet), so I dont know for sure how the song works there, but I can reasonably assume there's a final showdown with Rusty and it plays then.

Next I want to bring up Rusty's emblem. For the majority of the game, when he's part of the Vespers, it's a muzzled wolf.

But after 621 defeats him towards the end of chapter 4, he leaves the Vespers, and (at least in the liberator of Rubicon ending,) he joins them in taking down the Xylem and saving Rubicon. This change is accompanied by not only a new AC, "Steel Haze Ortus," but also a new emblem, depicting a wolf with it's fangs bared, free of any restraints.

This is a really subtle change but I like it a lot.

Finally I just want to mention that, in the wild, Ravens are known to adopt wolf cubs and play with them as they grow. Even following the wolf of it chooses to leave it's pack. Just like 621 and Rusty both abandon their missions in order to save Rubicon. I love that. Bravo fromsoft.

Why are we as a fandom calling Ballister x Ambrosius "Goldenheart" and not "Boldloin"

THIS is how you do a dance scene. I fucking love this scene. The music isn't some overused trashy song from 2008, Gold Guns Girls by Metric absolutely FUCKS. And the scene isnt haphazardly thrown in there so that they can use it in every single trailer and marketing push. It serves the plot, it feels like a win, like that should be the end. It solidifies Ballister and Nimona's bond, which just makes what happens next hurt that much more.

I love this scene, it (like most of the scenes in this movie) lives in my head rent fucking free.
