The HAL 826 parts now confirmed to be designed by Shoji Kawamori.
In a recent issue of CG World, Armored Core VI bought a appropriate breakdown of its mecha create, and openly credited Shoji Kawamori.
Extra importantly, we now have confidence any other confirmation of what Shoji Kawamori particularly designed within the game. Namely that of the HAL 826 parts that you release after the “Just appropriate” ending (shown above).
Admittedly, someone with eyes and a passing familiarity with his work would were ready to figure this out beforehand, but here is assorted since it in actuality specifies what Kawamori made.
The most convenient beforehand confirmed designed parts had been from Takayuki Yanase’s Twitter memoir showing that he created the parts for Steel Haze Ortus.

So having Kawamori’s customary line art printed (display above) and having him clearly credited for that within the pages of CG World is every a mountainous deal and in reality welcomed.
As Kawamori explains via his Twitter memoir (display under), and moreover in my interview with him from 2015, he became once no doubt one of many customary team on the first Armored Core game wait on in 1997. He moreover coined the title “Armored Core” too. He’s been with these games since their outset, so he clearly cares about his work on them.
Kawamori moreover displays some lineart of the SOL 644 boss from the “Harmful” ending of the game in his Tweet, so that’s moreover any other create confirmed to be his (shown under).
All of this appropriate makes your complete weird ambiguity on who designed what in Armored Core VI positively baffling. To not mention that no longer no doubt one of many mecha designers had been talked about in any admire within the pre-free up promotion.
The article does moreover cite Kazutaka Miyatake’s work on the game but doesn’t specify what he designed, even supposing most of us are rather particular he penned the Ephemera parts.
To be appropriate, it might per chance perchance likely per chance even be pleasing to witness a create credit ranking for every portion, weapon and enemy within the game. Both by manner of the exterior mecha designers that had been hired to boot to the internal FromSoftware artists.
Finally, mecha designers such as Takayuki Yanase started out at FromSoftware, so who knows who else can also simply graduate from the studio to turned into the next mountainous mecha clothier.
It handiest goes to display that moral ingenious accreditation in video games has a depressingly prolonged manner to circulation.
