An Armored Core 6 player has built a mech inspired by Final Fantasy 7's Cloud Strife. Armored Core 6 is already a big hit among gamers of many kinds. The game has sold extremely well and continues to perform excellently on the various sales charts as well. In its early stage, the player base is already well beyond many fans' expectations.
The creative freedom that the game allows has given players a whole new world of possibilities. Players have been hard at work building Armored Core 6 mechs based on Homer Simpson, Voltron, Venom, and other pop culture references. The designs are by no means lazy, as the makers have chosen the best bits and pieces to make them resemble their intended counterparts. The AC6 fan base has shown no sign of slowing down as mech designs continue to innovate.
One Reddit user has shared their creation of an Armored Core 6 mech version of Final Fantasy 7's Cloud Strife. The aptly-named user BusterSwordd posted their Cloud Strife design on Reddit using some creative coloring patterns to make the mech look humanlike. The arms were skin-colored to imply its human characteristics, but the most interesting part of the design was how the head was made to resemble Cloud, including his unique hairstyle. According to the comments section, this mech is available on the PlayStation platform, so users who play on PS can access the design using the share ID AF02AMV37BSP.
The great thing about the game is being able to use Share ID codes to access others' Armored Core 6 creations. It's an easier way to be able to play as other people's mechs without having to start from scratch. However, many fans are wondering why the "community pool" is tied down to its specific consoles, with PS users only being able to share PS codes and Xbox users stuck with fellow Xbox players. Many fans are hoping that a future update can address this concern.
However, even with the said limitation, gamers have a boatload of options to customize their mechs on their own. FromSoftware has made it easy for players to customize and save paint colors in Armored Core 6. The creative possibilities may seem endless with just how deep the game's mech design aspect is. If many ingenious designs are already popping up, expect the number to multiply in the coming months as more gamers discover smart ways to make their mechs more unique.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
