Im interested, though I'm more familiar with Front Mission lol. Is that relatively close?

Aye, it's pretty similar on both accounts, though I had to look up the series after forgetting about it. In terms of similarity between Front Mission and the two sourced material, Armored Core and Front Mission are near identical in terms of mech design, though Chromehounds has a setting that is closer to that of Front Mission Evolved.
