Did further research on this, and can confirm that the Shade Eye head piece will flip the visor to the front of the head whenever you hard lock onto an opponent (target assist) and/or use assault boost. This can be tested in game for people who think otherwise, just to the Test Run inside your AC assembly and summon an opponent or play a mission and watch your head carefully when you perform the above actions (as well as look at the head right after you exit assault boost or hard lock).

That part about the visor not flipping for players is false, and can be tested for proof if anyone doubts me. Whenever you hard lock on to an opponent, watch the head carefully and it’ll show the visor flip. When you end the hard lock, or simply move too far away from the opponent to remain locked on, it’ll move the visor to the back of the head again. Admittedly I tested this only in the Tester AC and in PVE missions, so I cannot confirm yet that PVP opponents can trigger this animation as well. Against the real Raven, I think in his case the visor remains flipped the entire fight from what I was able to tell.

There’s a difference between “Big Bad” and “Greater Scope Villain.” ALLMIND is clearly the most dangerous threat, but it acts in the background and only makes its true intentions known on the Alea Iacta East route, and even then you only discover its more heinous intentions in the last level. Meanwhile, Arquebus is shown several times to be the strongest corporation, and after the PCA is gone Arquebus takes advantage to try and subjugate everyone. In the Fires of Raven route this means trying to stop you from destroying its Coral vacuum project, then quickly turns into “stop you from killing almost everyone there,” whereas on the Liberator of Rubicon route Arquebus is unquestionably the Big Bad that everyone opposes. In those two routes ALLMIND is content with sitting the sidelines and monitoring everything because it’s looking for an opportunity to push its own plans forward. Therefore ALLMIND is better suited as the Greater Scope Villain instead.

However, whereas the real life liqueur is known to get better with age, Chartreuse instead developed a bad tendency to [[UnderestimatingBadassery underestimate her opponent’s skill]] purely based on their status, which leads to her defeat [[UncertainDoom (and possible death)]] from 621.

* RecurringElement: The latest in the series of mercenary organizations that support AC pilots and manage the Arena/ranking system, dating back to the [[VideoGame/ArmoredCore1 the first game]]'s Raven's Nest (to which the name of the online PVP menu, "Nest", is a reference to). It's also the latest in the series of AI masterminds that exist above the corporations and reveal themselves in the endgame, also much like Hustler One, the first game's AI who created and operated the original Raven's Nest. Furthermore, ALLMIND refers to 621 and Ayre (and Iguazu separately) as "Irregulars" in the final mission of the ""Alea "Alea Iacta Est" route, a term appearing roughly OncePerEpisode in the franchise.

* AmbiguousSituation:
** The circumstances behind Raven losing their AC is unknown, as is what battle they lost in the first place. A PCA Captain heavily implies that Raven was fighting them for having leaked intelligence that led to the Corporations gaining a foothold on Rubicon 3.
** Raven's identity is subject to a ton of speculation in light of their reappearance later in the game. Their Operator states the name "Raven" isn't merely a callsign, but a title worn by someone who has a 'freedom to choose' and 'do what is right'. Given how the title accurately describes some of the somewhat more heroic Raven mercenaries from previous games and [[VideoGame/ArmoredCoreV the Dark Raven]] mentioned by Reaper M in ''VideoGame/ArmoredCoreVerdictDay'', it's implied Raven might be someone affiliated with the mercenary group or a character who wore the title, though there's little to no information about the name in the setting of ''Fires of Rubicon''.

* BoringButPractical: Aside from the headpiece (which is unavailable until NG+), NIGHTFALL uses the C-2000 model parts (the same parts used by 621's starter AC) and weapons the player likely already has access to from the Parts Shop. This does ''not'' make Raven inferior in the least; if anything, they simply prove that it isn't the AC itself that wins the fight, but rather its pilot.
