| 3 | * The implied past of of [[spoiler:Reaper Squad Leader/'J'. From his designation, theme, craft and various dialogue (some in supplementary sources), he seems to be directly cloned from Joshua O'Brien, a [[LostTechnology NEXT]] pilot from several thousand years before Verdict Day.]] Believed to have been created by the Foundation, he seems to have no idea who he is, and truly believes that the only reason he exists is to fight - [[spoiler:to the point where he implies that he thinks he will ''cease to exist'' if he stops fighting. If you didn't hate [[BigBad The Foundation Man]] already, you do now.]] |
| 4 | ** Throw in a healthy dose of CyberneticsEatYourSoul and watching his entire team cut down around him over the course of the game, his line about [[MotiveRant "seeking a world of endless war and destruction"]] comes off less as a consequence of BloodKnight tendencies and more born of [[DespairEventHorizon sheer despair]]. He comes off as a [[DeconstructedTrope tragic deconstruction]] of the WarIsGlorious feeling of earlier games in the series. |
| 5 | ** The WhamLine that really seals the deal with [[spoiler:J]] is this one: |
| 6 | --> [[spoiler:'''J:''']] [[IAmWhatIAm "There is no place for me but the battlefield.]] [[TheAntiNihilist To live as I please...]] [[spoiler:''[[DeathSeeker and die a senseless death]]."'']] |
| 7 | ** Actually, it's implied that J knows exactly who he is, because he piloted an AC awfully similar to White Glint, just Reaper Squad-ified. It's sad, knowing J knows he can never have his life back. |
| 8 | * Given what the corporations had done in ''Armored Core 4'' and the sequel ''for Answer'', its truly sad when one can look at what happened in [[EverybodyDiesEnding Ending C]] as a ''mercy''. |
