A HEAVILY Abbreviated Summary of Girls' Frontline 1 | Ep. 2

by



GFL1 is a fantastic story, but it is long, and hard to get into. I made this for people who want to learn about GFL1 but don’t want to, or don’t have the time to read.

Ep 2 goes over Chapter 11 – Chapter 11.5 (Isomer). Hope you enjoy.

  19. Isomer is the peak exemple of "You really thought Singularity and Continuum turbulence situation went FUBAR? Hold my Beer and the others bigboys behind me will make me look like the appetizer"

  21. Thank you all for the support! Some repeating things I've seen in the comments:

    1. *Two Hours!?*: From this point forward the main story gets incredibly dense. I can definitely cut out a lot more than I did in the video, but the goal of the summaries is to not leave out anything important to the main story. Ch. 1 – Ch. 10 had a lot of dedicated stories only meant for world building/lore explanations which meant I could skip it or condense it to a small explanation. This is just not the case after Chapter 10. Aside from the random T-Dolls that appear and have scenes to advertise them, every scene starts to matter in some way (and even the random T-Dolls start becoming story-relevant later on).

    2. *You mispronounced "Bel-gra-de"!*: I'm sorry! I was confident I was right so I never checked. I'm an American weeb so I'm forced to improve as I go.

    *Ep.3?*: I got Ep 2 out crazy fast but it was at the cost of ignoring the holiday season. So the aim will be End of Dec if not beginning of Jan.

    Again, thanks for all the support. I truly appreciate it.

  22. Belgrade is not an independent country, it's a city within the Yugoslavian Federation (mentioned a few times as an independent entity from both NSU and Pan-European Union), which is a neutral country, hence why it was chosen for the conference. Belgrade used to be the capital city of Yugoslavia (IRL modern day Serbia), but the capital was moved elsewhere due to the city's proximity to the contaminated zones.
    Pronounciation was… rough, to say the least. The closest to English would be "bell – grade", or "bell – grad", depending on where you are. The native name is "Beograd" (Beo – grad), literally transalted to "The White City".
    The monument to WW3 victims which Ange stands in front of is actuall a real life monument, "Monument to the Unkown Hero", although IRL it was dedicated to the victims of the first two Balkan Wars and WW1, which was built to honor the people who fought for the unification of the first Yugoslavia. So even the GFL interpretation of it was the same as the IRL interpretation of the monument. The cathedral the Commander hunkered down in is also a faithful recreation of the "Church of Saint Sava", one of the largest Christian Orthodox churches in the world (and Christian churches in general).
    The building where the conference took place is the parliament building of Serbia, which looks pretty much exactly the same as in game. Just like the Belgrade Fortress and the Opera, which is the Belgrade Theatre.
    The last stand of the garrisson officer Dragovic is reminiscent of the WW1 last stand in Belgrade by the Serbian army, where the whole company stood their ground in the city of Belgrade, with a very popular and historic speech by major Dragutin Gavrilovic (funnilly enough, when you combine first part of the name Dragutin and the last part of the last name Gavrilovic, you get Dragovic), where the three battalions under his command stood their ground against the German and Austro-Hungarian combined attack on capital city Belgrade. The valliant defence was so heroic an impressive that, although it failed to stop the Germans, inspired the German commander August von Mackensen to erect a monument himself in Belgrade, to honor the brave defenders who gave their lives in defence of their fatherland, even to just slow the enemy down. The three battalions were pretty much completely wiped out, although major Gavrilovic did survive, although badly wounded. His speech inspired the song by Sabaton, "Last Dying Breath".

  30. Thanks for making these!
    I actually played the first game, but the story is so dense that I had forgotten most of the details of it. This is a huge help now that I'm playing the sequel.

  35. I do enjoy the longstyle videos but probably don't need to go into such finite detail like m4a1 got invited to ak12s hobby club bruh I forgot that information the second after hearing it I'm here for the lore and the story but not sure I'm really willing to give 70+ hours into these videos
