This was played using the 1.00 regulation rule set. Some of the regulation sets prevent the AI from working as intended allegedly and I wanted to prevent that.
Armored Core 4 was already a fast game but For Answer increases the speed considerably.

This is being emulated via RPCS3. This was recorded between 7/20/2021 and 7/25/2021 for future interest in RPCS3.
Unfortunately, every mission that involves enemy ACs crashes the emulator with write/read color buffers enabled. With the buffers disabled, textures fail to load correctly on ACs and they turn into messes of colors.

I wasn't sure if I should produce a set of videos using the emulated version but one of the biggest issues with FA is its framerate on consoles. For me, I'm not paying attention to what ACs look like when playing, I'm only interested in their position. Playing FA with a high steady framerate is amazing and in my opinion, it's worth dealing with ACs looking strange. I'm not sure how the viewer is going to feel about this, though.


Notes
I started with the independent frame.

You get various parts for completing missions. Typically ones that involve enemy ACs. If I have something I didn't buy, it was a mission reward.

Some guides will say that this is the League route but it's called the Collared route in-game.
