My fondest Firefall memories were long, speculating forum posts that hyped the game to oblivion before the real product arrived. Oh, and I guess some game things too, mostly from beta: 1) Playing leash medic for Xenogenic during a Harvester match I think, we were pretty unstoppable. And then...

I did the thing. Who even knows if I'll have time to play the game when things go live, but better to be safe than sorry.

I hope one of the implications of including the "A for autonomous" tidbit is that there are possibly giant mechs with pilot seats too...

That's pretty much all I'm ever looking for in a game's customization. It's gotta be the right 'optional' though: if it restricts class/playstyle choice or if the option is 'play a male character', that's less fun. As long as those limits aren't there, then I think customization that goes...

I'll ignore all the Firefall kerfuffle around this stuff and just say: a character can be a lot of things to a player, so if there's any customization, I'd like it to be diverse and varied. Being able to choose somewhere on a range between wearing nothing but a thong and dressing like you're...

We endure a lot of game-induced pain, but too much and we'll all be heading to the ICU.

I definitely think of a battleframe, but mix-and-match however I want regardless of if the mix is logical or mind-numbingly bad. I like the idea, especially with a good constraint system. If a frame is meant to be light and fast, it could carry a minigun if the player really wanted, but they'd...

"But Baberaham Lincoln is totally a real person!"

I do like Laura Post's work, and some of the NPCs in the story were kinda fun to hear. The character voices, they weren't very interesting and didn't really feel like they gave a lot of personality to the characters. It takes good writing as well as execution for the players. There's also the...

Were it to take a crowdsourced route, I'd throw some music at a project like this, depending on my free time and what was needed for the project. I think a crowdsourced approach poses some unique challenges, but it'd be interesting if it worked. Lots of people would love to get a hand in the...

I wouldn't mind a modified system for durability, instead of permanent breakage. Like a 'tune-up' system instead, where stats deplete and the occasional tune-up brings it back up to near-new quality. Maybe after multiple tune-ups, items still don't function as well as a new model even after...

Customization. That's a big one for me. Choosing the character's appearance, loadout, whatever. I always thought there was a huge missed opportunity with customization in Firefall. Stuff like a custom flightsuit/outfits under the frame, since the frame components only partly covered up the...

Unreal was pretty weird when I first started looking at it, though I was approaching it for 2D gamedev which there were components for in the engine but when I tried, documentation was nonexistent. I couldn't wrap my head around Blueprints, the logic chain felt like it was in a weird order...

I just wanna look like a badass and feel like a badass. Though, I'd hope whatever customization that comes out allows badassery to take many forms. I guess I'll keep it that simple for my expectations for Ember. I had all sorts of various expectations for Firefall that was built on concepts...
