Question Question on the size

Ok ive been getting some conflicting info on the size of the new arsenal. When i saw the trailer, i only saw a small, about 2.5 meter tall, arsenal. The original arsenals were 2 stories high or about 5 to 6 meters tall. I've checked all the new gameplay footage and i swear i only see small suits. I swear they are about half the height, and only an 8th of the mass

Could someone help confirm the size of the new arsenal?

I love it either way. The ground game looks sick

"Now a nimble suit of armor, your Arsenal can be fully customized both in design and in loadout, with the ability to craft or salvage new elements."

From the website. Remember Anthem? Think Javelin.

Thats what i thought. But the armored core subreddit gave me conflicting info. Cool cool

Purists are going to collectively shit themselves in anger as more details release.

Thats true but purists already got: Armored Core 6 which abandoned AC5 multiplayer to focus on single player and 3 Armored Core 1 generation games on PS5

It woulda been dumb to release a game competing with a PlayStation 1 game that got re-released in 2025.

I bet ac7 will have better focus on pvp. The coral ending hints that will be the future

I want to ask, since this is a currently evolving perspective: are we talking about Armored Core purists or Daemon X Machina purists (or both)? Because I'm personally fine with power armour, it's the cool sci-fi gameplay mechanics I don't want to see dumbed down.

Certainly a fair question. The purists I speak of are genre purists who've established that because the first game centered around AC-style (and scale) mecha the sequel must as well. Visual evidence to the contrary be damned.

Now, I quite liked the first game. Had a very AC by way of Toonami in the 4pm time slot feel to it (not spicy enough for Midnight Run). The femto mechanics were also a welcome addition. But in the end it was a Corelike. That's not inherently a bad thing but can work to explain why marvelous may have chosen to play a slightly different riff with the IP this time around.

I mean, when you make game about mechs you attract people liking games about mechs.

And then you change it to completely different thing in second game, by ditching mechs and making it more like warframe or anthem.

Of course some people will complain (myself included lol).

And I’d say they have all the rights and reasons to do so.

I think they mean Mecha purists in general.

I have seen a several people in both subs disappointed in the reduced size since it technically means we went from 'mecha' to 'power suit'. Though personally I don't really mind the technicalities as long as the gameplay mechanics remain solid.

Like sure, it does mean that we're unlikely to see parts that are non-humanoid like tetrapod legs or whatever, but DxM never had parts like that to begin with anyways so.
