Story:
Armored Core: For Answer is the sequel to Armored Core 4. It takes
place 10 years after the AC4, where you play as a new Lynx, who
performs mission for the various corporations that fight among each
other. Depending on which missions you chose the course of the story
changes.
My synopses of the story is brief due to most of it being spoilers
and that it's not a big story. You could describe the entire story,
with spoilers, in a single paragraph. The plot is confusing at first,
until you get two of the endings and beat the Orca arena, where it
all makes sense. It is an interesting story, but it fails being a
compelling factor to playing the campaign. While there is more
back-story to the Armored Core 4 universe, it too is sparse. Both the
back-story and the main plot waste potential to become more then what
they are. You don't get to know the characters or there motivations
in what they do. They come and go like cannon fodder. You're not
going to buy this game for it's story.
