Combat seems improved. Customization is pretty intense. You can still strip people down to their underwear. I think we just learned about several new party members, including Gunban. Looks like an enemy has you fighting Dolls. Still looking good.

Edit: Seems like Tatsu isn't playable. And I think some of the new party members are hireable/temporary.

Ignore what I said about temporary party members. That's just speculation on my part for now.

Here's the Direct itself. Translations are being done, and someone will probably put out a subbed version soon.

Amusing gif from the video.

Looks cool.

So is it just the main character who can use any weapon, or does this apply to all characters?

It looked like the latter to me.

And it does seem like there are a lot of temporary party members, will Elma and Lynlee being your only permanent members, but I could be misunderstanding that.

And finally, because it's Japan, School girl outfits. Not surprised really.

apparantly, gear will be divided by arms companies with their own signature aesthetics?

Lao/Gunban is definitely one of the main members. Apparently the others are also permanent, though again this is not confirmed. So far we have:

1. Avatar 2. Elma 3. Lyn 4. Irina 5. Guin 6. Douglas 7. Lao 8. Ru 9. Madeles 10. Fry 11. Serika

So uh, a lot of party members. It's going to be a pain finding an optimal combination. Can't wait.

The next Direct in April will cover the Dolls. Time to get some juicy details on just how I will be flying around these landscapes.

Battle theme:

Pretty good... until the rapping kicks in at around 40 seconds. Now I kind of hope my battles wrap up quickly.

the tune: good

the rap: bad

when he starts "singing" instead of rapping: yeah i like this

starts rapping again towards the end: god damn.

its a roller coaster.

I'm usually not the biggest fan of rap but it sounds cool to me.

i just dont think it flows well.

mind you, i keep pressing replay so it obviously doesnt bother me much.

so nothing to worry about when i actually play the game.

I suppose it helps that I can't really make out the rap because the music drowns it out so I can't really tell if it's good or not.

Also, don't bother hitting replay when you can just use this.

Hmm... I rather like it. It's not what you would call a top tier track, but I think it flows well enough. Wonder how will it feel during gameplay.

Also, on a scale from 0 to You Wish, do you think there's any chance that we'll see reinterpretations of the original XC's tracks?

Still think Mechanical Rhythm is the best "default" battle track ever for a Xeno game, but this one is probably up there.

Don't like the rap, but the core melody is pretty good, and most Xeno default battle songs are pretty forgettable. I'll probably learn to live with it like I did for DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAY.

Here's one sub I found:

Lol Cooperate Sponsorships.

It looks like you can have nearly EVERYONE NLA as a party member.

So what's essentially the Face Mechons are back but now they have a Mobile Fighter G Gundam interface (which is awesome). This game is going to be amazing.

So do you guys want me to keep translating the character bios on the official site?

Here's a new one. The battle theme grew on me while I translated.

Here's Guin:

Bio:

He belongs to the militia known as BLADE. On Earth, he was attached to the Unification Government Army's Special Operations Vehicle Corps (AKA the Doll Corps). Elma and Irina were his superior officers then. Because he's young, he uses a lot of improper words and has a frank personality but he adores and aspires to be like Irina.

Quote:

"He was just the president's aide until that, but now he's totally got the look of a president or prime minister!"

I have no idea what his quote is going on about.

It's talking about Maurice, the politician guy in the suit who shows up on all the TV screens and is probably evil.
