Yep, same goes for ER! I dunno why so many people are against Ranni’s thing, it’s the one thing which brings actual change and restores free will.

Did I understand anything of what I did for her? Heck, no! But I got the significance of it!

Edit: oh, and there’s a similar theme going on in Armored Core VI, love that one’s story! And the lore is a bit more accessible, too, surprisingly fleshed out!
