Okay, so today I found a rather interesting way to get past the first area in the Ark and much quicker than most people traditionally do it.
First the fun way. It's entirely possible to run through the first two battles and still live to tell about it. Vince got to witness it first hand. HOw long did Vince take? 45 minutes for that area. How long did it take me? Less than a minute thirty. Starocean, if you're looking to beat Pahat's time, that would be the way to do it.
I did, however, finally settle on a method for the walkthrough. First kill everything in the first area like you normally would, but when you get to the second, take out the Carbine Jackal, then start moving around behind the wall towards the other side. Take out the other two Carbine Jackals as you're doing it. Now make your way up the hill. Your shields should be critical if not close, but you'll still be alive. You'll hear the Hunter music trigger. Just as you get close to the top, jump off the side. The Hunters will arrive and you can take them out as you normally would.
By the way, I learned something interesting tonight. Once the Hunters show up, the shielded Jackals are no longer able to shoot at you. What does this translate to? Free shields for as long as you need them.
Now all the other baddies should be along the hill. Just take your time and take them out one by one. They won't come down to chase you. If you get pegged at all, just use one of the Jackals to recharge your shields. Again, Vince got to witness this first hand.
