A Summary of Girls' Frontline 1: The Origins of Squad 404



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.

This is supplemental material going over Squad 404’s involvement for the first Arc of the game. Enjoy.

  1. Damn, you actually went ahead and explained the 404 story lol. Nice job though since you explained pretty much everything about 404! Seeing Operation Cube gives me absolute ptsd of doing though causse of how rng it was combined with it being night battles ;-;
    Also, Cerberus uwahhhhhhhhhh my beloved cute dogo. Reject flareberus and embrace cerberusssss!!!!

  2. As someone that started with GF2 I really can't thank you enough for these exceptional videos. Even though I actually went back and read most of the main events for GF1 I still watch these videos because your way of breaking down, explaining things and chronolocally ordering them helps click everything together

  3. 404 got so many of the iconic moments in the earlier part of GFL1's story. I'll never forget going back and realizing the art for 45 executing Ouroboros at the end of Cube mirrors the art for her execution of 40 at the end of Deep Dive

  4. BTW in Deep Dive you can learn about the UMP's frame model and in the future how due to these models you can jokingly say 40 and 45 are sisters of other 2 individuals.

    01491 SF / DSB1 0671 Dual Track DSI-8 Model SY (40)

    04673 SF / DSB1 3873 Dual Track DSI-8 Model SY (45)

  5. Since you started this series, I jumped off your chapter 11 video to read up through now chapter 14 on the interpreter site. This game's story is crazy good. A bit spotty occasionally, but the character writing is really exceptional. It's gotten me much more excited for the future of GFL2, because this is some premium storytelling.

    It's so good I kinda desperately want to be playing through it all with some voice acting. I can't imagine how incredible these moments could be if they were just fully voiced

  6. Doing God's work.. As much as they're already popular characters as well as other channels have probably already did this type of video, I'm glad 404's getting their own lore video and explanation.

    Thank you and keep up the good work. 🙌🏻

  7. Honestly appreicate your coverage. I do not have the time to invest into another game and in all honesty the style and genre of GFL1's gameplay does not appeal to me so I do not wish to force myself to do so for the sake of the story. Please do continue your coverage as best as you can. Much love mate.

  8. As a GFL2 player, thank you for helping understand UMP9 more and the rest of the squad. Your explanation of the GFL1 story are really fun to listen to and I reallyt enjoy them. I'll be waiting for the next episode!

  10. So much to digest.
    I did not expect 9 to start that way.
    45 was actually cold the whole time and had planned to have Girffin dolls scrafice themselves. M16 foirseeing this warned RO. Im actually more impressed by M16 with this. Commander comes through to save the day whic left 45 frustarted?. Im not really sure where I stand with 45. But I love 9 for sure.
    Can see a great development with 416. Having crossed paths with the commander changed her and a newfound trust. Some people I ased on reddit said she becomes very obessed with the commander, Im going to pull her in GFL2 for sure now.
    45 has a new body in GFL2. so Im guessing she found the culplits and delt with them. ?

    THank you for the video. Was much to learn about 404. Seems like I really like 9 and 416 alot.

  11. Dude love the videos! I love how you describe the vast story of GFL and make it so easy to follow. I hope you do a vid on Squad DEFY and Ang in the future. Side note: who’s your favorite t-doll out of the franchise and why?
