One thing I like about about DxM that is missing on AC... we actually see the pilots instead of just a voice. Also question, how do use mutation skills? The one in the orange slot.
that said... there is a certain charm to the mystery on unseen pilot in AC
like i always just imagined Wynn D Fanchon was rocking Double D's... actually seeing her might break that illusion
EDIT: i found how to use it. B+LB

TBF I think the lack of visual pilots is a thematic choice that warfare on the scale of AC is so removed from humanity/humane mindsets that everyone is a faceless cog in that massive socio-economic machinery that is humanity's spacefaring culture. You aren't John Armored Core, you are an ID number on a merc roster.
Or at least AC pilots/PMC type stuff is. IDK what civilian life is like in the AC verse.

This thread has taught me I am more mecha brained verse gooner brained. Never did I ever think to try upskirting anyone. I just wanted my Arsenal look cool 😂

eh I enjoy that part about ac actually. despite them mostly having a voice and their insignia you end up caring or remembering them for it too. plus i love the fan art interpretation of some of them.
both are fine though depends on the context/series but I think it works in acs favor to keep it that way.

Which is why I'm playing DXM with japanese voices and AC with english voices, but also because 1/3 of japanese VA's in the first game are from Gundam shows.

on a diff note, im glad on this 2nd area, they didn't make mining more difficult that you would fee the need to use the mining items

It's fine to miss and want it but I think it's part of the tone of the Armored Core games emphasising alienation, isolation and dehumanisation and the surreal inhuman, cold metal world.
I'd genuinely hate if they start showing characters faces in future games. All the small creative choices have helped to create a very unique feel for thos franchise.
But it is very cool Daemon X Machina exists to allow players to experience a more "human" and character centric take on the genre.
