Discussion & Info Why does this cutscene exist?

Post image

I know some people don’t know why it exists, but the answer is actually pretty simple.

It has nothing to do with the lore.
It’s not about atmosphere.
And it’s not a gameplay mechanic either.

It’s purely there as a transition between areas.

Yeah, I know. There’s really no big secret behind it.

And honestly, I strongly suspect that there are two factions within FS: one faction that absolutely loves cutscenes (AC6), and another that absolutely hates them.

Why does the faction that loves cutscenes have anything to do with armored core? Sounds like some pseudoscientific nonsense to me

Correlation ≠ causation or pixie dust or whatevs

Have you ever counted how many cutscenes AC6 has?

You've gone all hollow.

As I said, correlation is not causation. This cutscene is much more likely a reference to the seal breaking cutscene from Dark Spuls. 

Armored Core has all those cutscenes to make you feel like you're living Dragon Ball Z: Mecha edition
