Yeah man make me fight an actual Transformer sure that sounds fair

some of the best moments of gen 1 are in this game, some of the worse missions are also in this game, ranking this among the trilogy id say its just a little above phantasma merely because of the story, because phantasma doesn't have nearly as many annoying missions as arena has.
still, solid armored core and THANK GOD the last gen 1 game i have to beat before going to the ps2.

am i gonna do disc 2 ? lmao no never no thanks

Some absolutely stinker missions and balance changes I really don't like, but it's still more first gen AC so it's fine.

absolutely the peak of ps1 armored core. not perfect, the arena is sorta tedious cause every enemy kinda fights the same way and it's not a very fun way and the final boss is. something. but otherwise i think this game rocked. ost is amazing (the start of kota hoshino's career with fromsoft i believe and it is a really really strong one), the gameplay is just as fun as the other two games, and i actually sorta enjoy the story. i didn't really care for project phantasma's, it was boring and uninteresting and all that, but i think this one worked really well. it feels like a great end to the original game's raven's nest and hustler one stuff and idk i'm just a fan
