Trivia / Armored Core: Master of Arena

• Contest Winner Cameo: The EX Arena includes an arena featuring designs from the winners of various Armored Core: Project Phantasma tournaments as well as a "Guest" arena featuring selected reader-submitted designs from Japanese game magazines.
• Recycled Script: The story of Master of Arena is the same as the final chapter of the original game: In both, the protagonist, a Raven of exceptional skill, is marked for death by the Raven's Nest as his talents compromise the world order carefully maintained by the Raven's Nest. He discovers the organization a front for an AI that has been left behind to keep society stagnant and that Nine Ball is a mass-produced enforcer of its will. Supplementary guidebooks reconcile it by stating both stories happened around the same time.
