I don't know if anyone pointed this out, but I noticed that Walter's dialogue after your license gets authenticated is different in NG++, and it might suggest something. I don't have any clips of it right now, but I think Walter says something like "You have plenty of experience. You'll be able to handle whatever Rubicon throws at you," in NG++, and does not say anything like that in NG. (After all, it wouldn't really make sense for him to say that in NG because it takes place right after the first mission.) This might suggest that Walter is at least somewhat aware of the "time loop" some fans have speculated the player is stuck in.

My silly take on Ayre from Armored Core 6 since I'm 1. obsessed with this game 2. Trying to gijinka the characters but make them not really human / faceless

Coral Release is a very good concept because it completely alters the way you view a lot of characters after finding out that they are aware of it.

Professor Nagai, the guy in lore who caused the Fires of Ibis, didn't do it because of the horrible creations Coral techonology would bring.

Walter, Carla and Overseer weren't committing a genocide just to stop the corporations from using the coral.

And Dolmayan, the hero of the RLF, didn't create the group just to free Rubicon from the corporations.

All of these characters were horrified by the existential threat of Coral release. That if a large enough amount of Coral was put into the vacuum of space, it would quickly consume the entire universe.

The amount of knowledge really matters here. Professor Nagai and Overseer were scared of it because they likely believed this would destroy all intelligent life, all dissolved in an ocean of unthinking coral. Simple thing to be afraid of.

But Dolmayan? Dolmayan knew that was not the case. He had made contact, and he knew what coral release was all about. He wasn't afraid of death, he was afraid of crossing the threshold. He terribly feared this possible new state of existance, this ascension, this unknown. You could call him a coward, but could you honestly say that, being placed in his shoes, you wouldn't also be scared?

ac6 FoR ending spoilers!!

something i loved about ac6's FoR ending is that the narrative did not shy at all. I am used to video games being like "congrats, you achieved the bad ending!! it was pretty bad, right?" but when I achieved FoR, the narrator literally calls you a monster. "true, you may have chosen this decision, but I'll be here to tell you the severe, harrowing consequence that your decision has left. you destroyed a planet and burned the dreams of those who dared to hope. this makes you a monster. You shall never be heard ever again." I know it was all about the plot but damn if it didn't make me slightly guilty for choosing "let's commit arson!!"
