Talk:Armored Core: For Answer

Unknown's gender

When this game was first released it was a common misconception that White Glint's pilot was female. This was due to people assuming that the voice of Operator, Fiona Jarnefeldt, was the craft's pilot. If you bother to find the translations for what she says she gives some very clear hints as to who White Glint's pilot is (things like "you ((fa's protagonist)) are just like we were"). That and there was only one pilot who toppled companies during the Linx War. Though it is widely believed that the voice-over in the Ubisoft English trailer is supposed to be Unknown, I suppose it could also be Roadie, so until there is proof either way I suggest Unknown's description be kept gender neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aludrac7 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I propose that "white glint" has the same pilot as white glint in AC4, Joshua O'Brian. The next "white glint" did fight along side the protagonist of AC4 to take down some Sol-dios in one mission to bring down a company if I remember right. Anyone else possibly make the connection between two similar mechs with the same name and emblem in two connected games set 10 years apart? And the white glint operator is talking to both Otsdarva and the player in the "Defeat White Glint" mission. Stasis is an Omer next, as was the original white glint. This makes the connection to the former white glint being a "company man" as Otsdarva and (in this game path) the player are, and concludes what white glint's operator meant when she said: "just like we (white glint pilot and operator) were". If this is true, and ACFA's white glint has the same pilot as AC4's white glint (this seems much more practical than the assumption that for no given reason the pilot would change considering other pilots still pilot their crafts after trasitioning from AC4 to ACFA) then the pilot is male because the AC4 white glint's pilot was by the reason he spoke with a masculine voice, (the player speaks with white glint in AC4) a male. Joshua and Fiona were also friends long ago. I think it naive to think that that white glint is piloted by the old protagnist of AC4 based on one comment made by a minute description of the next's pilot. As for the "she" in multiple occurences in the game; perhaps this refers to the next rather than the pilot as a ship captin refers to his/her vessel as "she". A man is the designer of white glint because if one looks at the design page of "white glint" it reads "Abe Marsh" as the designer (I dub this name masculine as an english and french speaker). Is there evidence to refute any of my statements? I dont see evidence supporting a change in pilot for white glint during the transition from AC4 to ACFA. The leading page for Wikipedia's ACFA is wrong. Ultimatly, only the story board writers of AC can settle this. (I play the english version of both AC4 games.)

One simple fact is that you killed Joshua O'Brian at the finale of AC4, who was piloting 00-Aretha instead of his usual White Glint. -125.200.203.163 (talk) 09:47, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Removing quote about White Glint's pilot's androgeny, as Emil refers to the pilot as male in AC4. "I used that man...and through him, her. I make no claim of righteousness...he was simply the only one who could have made it happen..." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.141.76.140 (talk) 21:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Interestingly enough, it's always "he" in Japanese. So it could be a (not so simple) translation error, or "she" could be referring to White Glint itself. --Koheiman (talk) 09:11, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

I think maybe their are two pilots of White Glint in ACfa,Fiona who is a front for collard thus ranking them and keeping the League from attacking directly. And the White Glint of the battlefield who is the protagonist from AC4 and the "legend" who defeated two companies. Thus Ostarva is #1 but is NOT more powerful than the real White Glint Vidit (talk) 06:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

There's only one White Glint pilot in ACfA, which is hinted to be the protagonist of AC4. HINTED!!! Gender is NEVER mentioned and no official sources have confirmed that it is in fact the protagonist of AC4. Either way, Unknown's gender isn't clear, although official sources do attest to referring to the pilot as male. As far as wikipedia is concerned, WE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THE PILOT OF WHITE GLINT IN ACFA IS MALE OR FEMALE. --Fatalyst (talk) 18:20, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

No dont merge

this isnt a re-release its a complete sequal, like gta3 and gta vice city they are completely different games. thus it warrent its own article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.22.35.196 (talk) 06:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

As long as we have something to say about it, it won't. Don't worry. (Shin Kairi (talk) 14:39, 27 July 2008 (UTC))

Merge

There doesn't seem to be enough information on this video game to warrant it's own article, and until there is, it should not be in a separate article. I therefore propose merging in until the relevant time comes to recreate the article.--EclipseSSD (talk) 13:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The reason it doesn't have a lot of information is because it hasn't been released yet. Once it is, I imagine there will be a bit more to write. Salacio (talk) 23:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Do not merge the two pages... the game releases in Japan tomorrow (March 19, 2008). More information will be available for this page soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.158.244.229 (talk) 19:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

plus i say just wait for the US release when alot of information will be attained.Sam ov the blue sand, Editor Review 18:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Wouldn't it make more sense to tag for merging with Armored Core 4 rather than the main AC article? Herr Gruber (talk) 07:54, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Name

What is that actual title of this game? Is it Armored Core: For Answer or Armored Core For Answer or Armored Core 4: For Answer or... What is it? ~ Wakanda's Black Panther!♠/♦ 03:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Armored Core: For Answer —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.101.242.104 (talk) 08:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

New User, Long time listener. The Japanese name for this game is Armored Core 4 Answer, with an obvious, yet media oblivious, play on the sound of the number 4 and the word for. No one seems to understand this and gets incredibly confused then comically refers to it as engrish, when it's not. Elysionv2 (talk) 06:00, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

US Release date for ACFA is...

September 16, 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.106.180.252 (talk) 13:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Storyline

If whoever put it back wants the story section in, trim it down and sort the crappy badly formed grammar out first. The years section is fan speculation and not relevant for an encyclopedia, and other edits, like "everything you need" promoting an external link is NOT what this page is for and will be deleted. That doesn't make me a jerk, a jerk is someone who repeatedly spams an ENCYCLOPEDIA page with badly written, ill sourced, sub-message board content. 91.110.60.74 (talk) 08:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Linx or Lynx?

There seems to be some inconsistencies here. Is it spelt Linx or Lynx now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.230.171 (talk) 09:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

According to everything I've seen in the game itself, it's spelled Lynx (or LYNX if you prefer the capitalization rule).Theorycreation (talk) 01:54, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Serene Haze?

Kasumi Sumika is Serene Haze. Although, not stated ingame, it is hinted that she is. It's pretty obvious that she is, though. Perhaps From Software wanted to do an homage to Sumika Juutilainen from Armored Core: Project Phantasma.

Local Multiplayer

the section of local co-operative play on one machine mentions there is no way to use this feature with no-comment from the manufacturers. This is incorrect. Selecting partnership in the pre-mission screen and then signing in a second player profile will allow a player to choose local co-operative play. Since the missions are "drop-in and play single missions" style, there is no separate option to choose a full co-op only new campaign. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.80.187.10 (talk) 11:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Inclusion of individual corporations in the League

I think it's important to include a short list of the individual corporations within the League of Ruling Companies and a short description of each (similar to the other Armored Core articles), since the conflict between corporations makes up a significant part of the first three chapters of the game. It doesn't have to be a separate section, but just a list of the companies in the "Corporate Elements" section. Theorycreation (talk) 22:20, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

A brief description of each corporation would give this page some good filler. Just be sure not to delve to deeply in their roles in Armored Core 4. --Fatalyst (talk) 03:49, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I've made sure to keep it brief, not more than a few lines that give a basic summary of their positions in the AC4 sequence during the beginning portions of this game.Theorycreation: Create Truth to Destroy the Lies (talk) 23:51, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

External Links

I have added the No More Links Template in an effort to quell the ongoing linkspam that this and related pages have been experiencing. Please see the Links to be Avoided page to learn what it is inappropriate to link to.

Further addition of links without consensus in the talk page will be treated as spam and will be removed. Ninety (talk) 18:29, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

General Cleanup. What's with all the useless clutter?

I'm going to be spot cleaning this article, as someone seems to have added information derived from inside of the game and put their own spin on it.

Takafumi Arisawa: The 43rd president of the Arisawa Heavy Industries, nicknamed "Shadow Warrior". He searches for an opponent for his beloved craft, Rai-Den, a heavy tank-type armed with grenades. His craft is the driving force behind all Arisawa technology. He is the only pilot who can be defeated in battle and live on to appear in future missions.

The "He is the only pilot who can be defeated in battle and live on to appear in future missions." does not appear ingame, where this source is derived. This is an encyclopedia, not a strategy guide. We don't need to know that Rai-den appears in a mission that takes place in PAN-51 and that he can die and not disappear from the ranks.

It also seems unnecessary to list ALL of the LINX pilots. I think we should only leave the key characters such as Maximillian Thermidor, Otsdarva, and Unknown. It's not worth mentioning all of the leaders of ORCA or the characters who have speaking roles in For Answer. This also applies to the Arms Forts as well. The only notable one I can think of would be Spirit of Motherwill, which appears in all of the promo vids and on the front of the game. You could possibly include Answerer, but I'll let you debate that. For now I'll just spot clean all of strategy content. --Fatalyst (talk) 03:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

To the person who changed Over Boost to Overed Boost

That spelling is a localization error made by Ubisoft. The accepted English spelling for the AC4 sequence is Over Boost.Theorycreation: Create Truth to Destroy the Lies (talk) 01:15, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
