I might be a little turned on by the mech designs.

It's the internet. There had to be someone to think that, or else everything would implode at the next flame war.

Not as far as I know.

... You mean you people aren't mechsexual?

Well, we do have fembots for a reason.

Not robots. Mechs.

Meh. Close enough.

We have some fem-mechs as well.

Manly mechs.

Nothing manly about this mecha.◊

The only acceptable fem-mech is the kind in my avatar.

I respect your opinion, but.....

I. FUCKING. DISAGREE.

Is she not kawaii?

NO!

How about now?

I don't suppose we could cease with the sexualisation of machines, and talk about something relevant?

.....

I want them to include the Monado as a secret weapon for completing a really hard quest.

Or as an amibo reward.

I dunno, since we can customize our mechs I think the sexualization of them is very relevant. Hnnnng, those mono eyes...

I wonder how much they'll tell us tomorrow. Will each mech type only be able to do one kind of transformation? If I want to have a motorcycle will I only have one or two bases to choose from? If my favorite mech design can only turn into a tank or something I'll be heartbroken.

I mean, the Xeno series has a history of fem-mechs, doesn't it? KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, Linada, Vanea, Seventh, Lady Meyneth (kinda-sorta) from Xenoblade...

Okay, I suppose they're more robot-women than they are mech-women, but still.

Xenogears had Crescens and Vierge for its feminine mechs. Still mad Crescens didn't get an upgrade.

Weltall Id out-sexied them, though.

Soundtrack teaser is out. And it is all VERY Sawano, including his utterly ridiculous track names.

So, a bunch of new info from the Doll Direct.

• 3 types of Dolls, light, medium, and, heavy.
• Dolls have lots of customization, at least for weapons.
• Dolls use up fuel when flying or using arts. Exit to allow them to refuel.
• There's a cockpit view.
• Aerial combat is in of course.
• When your Doll is destroyed, you will exit safely. If you nail the exit timing correct, your Doll will reappear at your base ready to use again. Otherwise you'll have to pay(?) to use it again.
• Aliens are invading NLA. Team up with other players online to repel them.
• There are squad quests where people in the same group have to complete objectives all over the map, like kill X number of monsters.
• World enemies are large enemies that need to be fought with other players.
• The online stuff is optional, so you can safely ignore it if you're not interested.

There's more out there with more accurate info. Everything looks amazing.

So now I'm also starting to wonder if flying and using the vehicle mode are mutually exclusive myself (which kinda makes sense, cause if you can fly, why bother with changing into a vehicle). I'm also hoping that isn't the case.

Anyway, the game gets more and more interesting, and with the Japanese release not too far away, we'll soon need to start putting up spoiler spaces like crazy. That's gonna be frustrating truthfully.

I'm gonna go the extra mile and keep away from any sort of stuff related to the original Xenoblade also. If there turns out to be a connection between the original and X, you just know that people will put all sort of spoiler stuff tagged with Xenoblade and its characters, with the courtesy spoiler warning after scrolling through the bloody image(s) of course.
