FightingCowboy: "I don't know who the dude was that looked first saw this and said it was going to be souls-like, but you gotta stop doing drugs, man."
VaatiVidya: "I'm curious, what do you see. Armored Core, or Souls? ... No one can deny, there is a lot of souls influence in this."
This is partially tongue-in-cheek since even FightingCowboy admits later that some elements of the gameplay (e.g. the speed and deliberate movement) is similar to souls, but I found watching these two videos back to back pretty.
