NEXT Buccaneer[]
NEXT Buccaneer
Buccaneer is a tank leg NEXT with laser weapon arms and a lightweight core. Visually quite pleasing, but NEXT-to-NEXT performance leaves much to be desired.

Strategy[]
Buccaneer is one fine example on why it's a bad idea to combine a lightweight core with an arm weapon and a tank leg. This setup makes Buccaneer really slow with paper-thin defenses. Any NEXT weaponry can and will kill Buccaneer in short order. Do take heed however; its laser cannon arms will ruin your day if you don't keep moving, and his pulse cannon is good enough to keep the pressure on you. Move quickly, outturn him and blast him to pieces.

Trivia[]
- The pilots gender is rather ambiguous, though stated on the english version of the game as "him" no such reference was mentioned in the japanese version and rather than referring to the pilot, it would refer to the pilots NEXT instead. Furthermore, While Francois is a masculine name, Neris is a feminine name. Though this may highly suggest the pilot to be male, considering that Francois is their first name, and in the biography it would state his name as Francois instead of its full pilots name. But given that Julius Emery was female with a masculine name, this can be proven wrong.
