I particularly loved these "proto designs" that I hadn't seen anywhere else before. Including that Ganondorf looking dude, look at that! This game's art style and sci-fi aesthetics still inspire me so much to this day.

I had never played this game or any Armored Core game before this week, and I wanted to give a quick review of it. Here are the highlights:
- Significantly more fun then I was expecting, I thought it was going to be a "oh this is neat, this is where the series started but it's too old to play well" but its actually extremely fluid and engaging.
- The missions are a treat. I was expecting them to be same-y but actually there is a ton of variation in theme, terrain, enemy types, mission length, etc. There are missions that are like a duel that take a minute. Others have you defend a train from fighter jets. Or explore ruins that can collapse on you. Or assault a space station!
- The voice acting is very endearing.
- I like that losing a mission doesn't mean game over 99% of the time. In fact, on my play through I just completed I only succeeded at 70% of the missions I attempted.
- At the same time, failing and succeeding doesn't feel entirely binary. Regardless of if you complete or fail a mission you always have to pay for the ammo you expended and repairs for your armor (HP). The cost is significant enough that I often left a mission feeling like I succeeded poorly and that reflected on my paycheck. I enjoy mechanics like this.
- It is a very hard game at the start until you get a handle on the controls. It's a fun thing to gain mastery of, but I can imagine a lot of people get turned off by it quickly.
OK_
that feeling when you beat a boss with a party member incapacitated and gratefully discover that they still get XP, neutralizing the urge that you should reload and do the fight again even though it doesn't matter because most RPGs increasing the amount of XP you get from enemies at such a rate that you'll be basically be the level the game wants you to be in the next zone in a couple of battles and why do some RPGs do it like that anyways? i guess being knocked out you forget some of what happened just before, i.e. you lost memory of the experience of battle and but then there are several status conditions in most games that should prevent you from
