Armored Core Lore: Human Plus in AC1

A gift or a curse? What is Human plus, where did it come from and for anyone who became a plus what did it mean for them.
This is armored core lore on Human plus.
Please note:
If you see to see the annihilator in action may i suggest this video by hellhound13th who recreates the ac and shows if off.

[@PS3PS2fan]

Human Plus is a great definition of "Great power but with a heavy cost". Even if you survive the operations and use your enhanced skills, basically it feels like your lifespan has been greatly reduced.

[@armoredcorelore]

A fair assessment. No arguments from me.

[@foenrik8941]

Leos Klein indicates this isn't an absolute, however. He's implied to have lived up to 90 years or so by the time of Armored Core 2, and it seems not to have made him insane (well, any more than normal). It's possible that by AC2 that they've perfected/refined the process to where the side effects aren't as frequent. Then again, Leos Klein likely could've survived via other means.

For me, a lot of the Human+ lore is uncovered in the Revolution disc of AC:Nexus. You get to know the reason behind the red AC's attack on the train and there's also a mission where you are sent to rescue a person from being experimented on, but sadly, you arrive too late and you are forced to kill him. Also, the funny thing about Tower City Blade is that it takes place in the AC3 universe, where Human+ supposedly doesn't exist.

[@armoredcorelore]

Oh no argument here, sadly time this week was against me and i could not include all i wanted.

[@Godzilla2000X]

@@Godzilla2000Xstill had OP-I, while it’s not as fun lore-wise I think it’s a lot more balanced gameplay-wise.

[@YaboitheCadian]

Tower City Blade proves also that AC3 goes into AC4 and we can argue that AC4 goes into AC1 which goes into AC5. The Armored Core Timeline is a gigantic loop

[@tigerzeng3046]

Another possibility for the escapee’s warning is that in a game over scene all data pertaining to Player Character gets erased, as if that Raven never existed. So that escapee is likely aware that he will be unpersoned after he is killed and is warning the Player Character that they could face the same fate.

Ahh Human Plus, the power that made me really scared in the past cuz my first AC is Project Phantasma, watching the Arena enemies using Karasawa, doing Blade Wave with the Moonlight, and shooting me with the Grenade Launcher while freaking moving terrifies me so much that im not even dared to play the game for like 1 week Imao, but when i finally got the power for myself in AC1...........i feel like everything that i touch will be destroyed in the matter of seconds lol

Thanks AC-Man-of-Lore for reminding me that an Armored Core manga exists. I read it and really enjoyed it. It's very different to me that I can actually see people throughout the book compared to the games where I exclusively see the mecha and a dead landscape. The games almost make me feel like my pilot would be an AI/robot without ever seeing them or anyone else.

AC Nexus Revolution disc have extended info on Human Plus, especially when you take mission & fight alongside Wild Cat. (One of the best missions, imo). Revolution disc also have other expanded AC 1st gen lores & infos. Also my criticism & feedback on this video: 1st, the text box on mail & mission briefing are really bugged, I assume its because the emulator settings. 2nd, some of images because its forced to fit on screen, like example the Murakumo Millennium's emblem are too stretched.

The upgrade to beat the game. You can do it completely pure. It's hilacious It's difficult. It will make you grind your teeth till they crack and rip your hair out at the root. But it can be done.

[@lesslighter]

technically "no" in a way all Lynx undergo what is essentially Human Plus now whether or not their "bodies" can take it is another thing entirely remember it still needs AMS aptitude to get stuff done in a NEXT in Lore there are specifics but never seen in gameplay since in AC4 it can be argued there is an on off switch to the kojima emitters

H+ is very mysterious. What does the surgery entail? Probably best From Software never included that detail, since I expect anything they included would end up sounding dated. Human Plus feels like Murakumo's counterpart to Dyne's (?) biological weapons research. Some things to think about; I don't think answers were ever given in-universe: How many people outright died on the operating table? What was the ultimate goal of the experimentation? Why only people in crazy amounts of debt? Makes me think of a different reason there were 2 Hustler One's. I've generally thought H1 was completely machine, with no human pilot. What if both of them are Human Plus subjects who accepted the augmentations, but didn't have free will? What if they were both brainwashed or otherwise controlled by that computer thingy? So, Hustler One always seems to 'survive' his own death because there's actually a few of him running around at any given time. It's just that nobody in-universe knows that there's more than one of him.

I have no about it Leos Klein (the protagonist of Master of the Arena and antagonist for 2) like Valkyrie bought Human Plus to get the upper hand on Nineball. Also seeing that his goals in 2 are similar to Nineballs I think no doubt he didn’t go to crazy. Sure he wasn’t right in the head but it also could do to the fact with age since he is probably very old in 2. It’s not like I’m saying human+ did not affect his mind but more of he was probably more stable than most of them since he had plans that would actually work and people to work for him who weren’t probably all insane but wanted a better life so to put it.

If you start doing videos for corporations in the original universe (AC1 through AC2: Another Age) and the Armored Core 3 universe (AC3 through Last Raven), I would suggest making separate playlists for them.

in AC1 I'm fairly sure some of the Human Plus upgrades had more benefits like "passive increase to energy and physical defense" and the most notable "allowing to deploy with an overweight AC with no real detriment" Honestly I'm not sure about the validity of the defense increase but I know for a fact the overweight one is because I remember abusing it a bit along with having to do so to build some of the Arena AC's... from memory Valkyrie and nineball were "overweight" but then again this was like... what... 22 - 23 years ago since I last played the game so I could be wrong xD

[@armoredcorelore]

Ah see you bring up a fair point here about overweight AC's. Because at first when typing this script i did think about the overweight and over energy as a Human plus upgrade too. However in truth you have to beat the game 100% then you can basically go wild, no Hp needed so i had to rewrite ha ha.

Overweight deployment is achieved after completing every mission which is possible only after you beat the game at least once as a player. But HP enemies suggest differently.

So as someone who play Armored Core from the very beginning, Human Plus is the western interpretation of Newtypes and so on from the Gundam franchise.

Great video! Glad you are doing AC1 stuff now. I just have a suggestion; I would recommend not using epsxe as it is extremely outdated and broken (especially for AC) for your in-game captures; emulate using the Duckstation emulator as it is the go-to for PS1 these days. It will not have any of the graphical or audio issues you are having as seen in your video with text, broken geometry, and popping/distorted audio. Much more accurate and easier to use as well as normally being updated with new features and stability fixes. Set the internal resolution scale to 3x or 5x and PGFX geometry correction checked in the Enhancement Settings and it will look amazing in comparison to epsxe. Keep the awesome videos coming!

Good question. Answer a human plus raven is enhanced through replacing body parts and meshing with AC so if the ac loses its arm its possible the raven would feel the pain mentally or not at depending on how far they have been enhanced. He or she would not suffer any physical signs however what you could get is mayor mental health damage and we must remember that the enchantments themselves according to a certain tower blade city book that they eventually cause users heart to stop due to muscle stiffening.

To be honest there is not really a treatment suggested in the games lore unless we think the corporations have drugs to control the neurons of the brain to combat this or mental health services.

As for the ac arms i think raven nest would replace it for the raven for a large price.

Human Plus was something I was somehow able to avoid when starting AC I like 4 months ago. Still didn't finish it due to the horrible platformer part in the last mission but I'll get there. Some day

Know that feeling, you'll get back to it one day. Honestly I am still one of these players who don't like to fail missions so when I first played ac1 I never got human plus because I loaded my last save and try again.

I think it'd be interesting if 621 from AC6 was a victim of the human plus experiments.. not saying this as a theory or whatever, i dont think thats the case at all. but. it WOULD be cool

[@armoredcorelore]

It is a neat idea and you could say they where a victim in ac6 as we don't really know how or why 621 ended up as they did.

[@PRISMA-NTM]

@@armoredcorelore still pretty new to the lore of the game (thanks for the help with that btw ;D) I know the games like to reset the timeline alot, so I'm not sure if AC6 would even Have anything akin to Human Plus. But I think it'd be a neat idea.. The fact the devs leave 621's origins open ended does lend to more fun speculating tho! can't complain with that!

[@ProffessorYellow]

you already know that nine ball is an A.I so that was weird

[@armoredcorelore]

Well to be fair i am looking at it from an outside view, in truth nobody really knew about the ai in ac1 in the world of ac1 and nine-ball was made out to be this unbeatable pilot that ravens feared. It would not be until the actions of the raven of ac1 where nineball ai roots would be discovered.

[@ProffessorYellow]

@@armoredcorelore chronologically fair! As i was introduced later to the series that nuance was not in my mind.

[@laughingman7467]

I just remembered 621 is a human plus in AC6 since "their AC doesnt kneel down when firing their back mounted cannon". Still i hope fromsoft puts back those back mounted gatling guns, shotguns and linear cannons back in the future, since the only viable back mounted cannons are the SONGBIRDS for stagger stun lock builds...

[@armoredcorelore]

Oh 621 and all the augmented pilots are way past simply being just HP with what they do. I would like some more back mounted weapons.

[@ghoulbuster1]

[@VaporRonin]

I have a theory that humanity never really went underground, due to the fact many vehicles and buildings are completely empty, like its a bunch of empty large scale dioramas, suppose there is no pilots after the human plus and its just euthanasia in a sense to keep people at bay from screwing over corporate assets? The implications are still huge because of how much questionable logic there is surrounding it.

[@armoredcorelore]

I always love a good theory.

[@user-uy8uq8bj7r]

Bro, human plus don't make any sense to me, like on paper is a cool idea, but how can a surgery on the pilot affect the robot, because if you see the benefits from human plus (being able to shot shoulder weapon while walking, more boost power, new grid radar, etc...) they look more like a upgrade to the ac than a surgery benefit

[@armoredcorelore]

True and in game it very hard to show this. As in lore human plus was given to body guards as well so they'd more strength, better vison if we could have seen this in action i feel it would have made hp that much more understandable. In truth Hp is more about becoming more machine then man for ac pilot, so when they are able to use a grid radar that is because they have had thier eyes swapped out for computers so really the ac is getting an upgrade, the pilot acts as another part of the ac allowing it access to this function.

[@LimitPro1]

Nineball is an advanced AI who goes by the monocur Hustler 1 or H1, Nineball been around since the very beginning of AC so calling Nineball an HP doesn't count.

@@armoredcorelore Alaya-Vijyana is pretty much note for note Human PLUS. A surgery that meshes humans with mobile suit technology. What makes it dangerous is that the initial surgery can only be done to children and it has to "grow" with you. A more extreme case that's in line with Human PLUS's debilitating side effects is Ein Dalton. He ended up getting his body crushed in a battle and had his torso installed into a machine made specifically to mimic the human body just so his brain would be able to recognize it as his own. His own body is basically just a vegetable in a bio fluid-submerged cockpit module that can't move or express any emotion. Instead, everything comes out of the mobile suit itself, both his voice and body language
