Basically it talks about ACV, compares changes from older games, and assuming that I'm right, they were very impressed with the game.
They also talk about things we already know, like the new boost mechanics, the change defense ratings to that its hard to achieve, the basics of OWs, and how Armored Core V is still about trial and error.

And good luck reading all those stats Goat.
Tell us what you think when you're done.

Niji has already translated the part stats for us, so that's one obstacle down. We'll just have to wait a few more days before the leading retailer in this country (we're at the Philippines. ho noes) will have some copies of ACV. We have another member here in RR who currently lives and works in Japan though. He should be able to get it first. I'm going to post my updates anyway, no matter how sucky they are.

Besides, it's been a year or two since I've stopped learning Kanji, so I might as well try to self-study them again. The Kanjis in the garage are also easier to identify, considering that I can still recall a handful of them from playing JPRGs and AC ports in JP before. And then the Katakana symbols are there to help you identify it easier.

I'm more concerned on the mission briefings and dialogues though, which then leads me to study about complex sentence structures. D:

Cool. At least it'll help a bit. I kind of just gave up on trying to memorize due to my poor memory and having to switch back and forth between the computer and the tv.

I'm planning on studying Japanese at my school so when AC6 comes out, I WILL BE READY.

And before I forget, the servers are back up. When I get home today I'll see if the demo can still connect. Chances are it won't, but I'll try goddamnit!

Hahah, they won't let me in LOL.

ACV fared similarly in Famitsu

Armored Core V (PS3/360) – 9/8/8/9

[Lord_Leperman]

Wow, that's makes this the best Armored Core game ever? AFAIK the previous games got 32 from Famitsu and similar publications. :p

EDIT:

Past AC game ratings from Famitsu (Slight discrepancies with some scores as the source lists 2 different entries for a specific title):

AC3:SL - 31
AC:NX -32
AC:NB -29
AC:FF (PS2)
AC:FF/FF International (PSP) - 30/31
AC:LR -29
AC4 -31
AC:4A -29/30
AC5 - 34

I did some digging around today and found that there'll be at least 5 super bosses in ACV:

LLL - The quad walker
St. Elmo - Giant Battle Ship
Type D No. 5. - Giant biped seen in the trailer

and 2 others that I haven't seen yet:

Exusia (Dunno what this is gonna be.) and Raijin (allegedly a flying super weapon)

There are also 9 story missions. Pleas don't tell me that the demo was already the entirety of mission 1. That's just too short.

[Goat]

I'm going to call on Datablitz later and ask for their date regarding ACV. I envy Cabs.

And yeah, 9 missions seem too short. Maybe that's what Nabeshima meant about always updating the game? I'm not also gonna trust any AC-related review that easily, judging from how I hated NX, NB, and FF back then.

I'll leave it to the AC Community as a whole to do that instead. XD

Even nexus got a 32

Dear God in heaven. That was God damn terrible. Fkn wubstomp music in my AC. =\

[Lord_Leperman]

Okay that was pretty bad.

Votoms OP over the video sounds much better.

Or some thing more Beatmania.

[McCale]

Dear God in heaven. That was God damn terrible. Fkn wubstomp music in my AC. =\

Dubstep and Armored Core. Two things that should never be combined. That trailer completely ruined any dramatic build-up that FROM worked on over the last year.

[Mjting]

Fucking fail. Terrible choice in music. WTF.

[clonezero]

if that is the bg music we're getting then Im turning off the music and will just play hell march in a loop on a mp3 player XX
