  • 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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

      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.
