Alien races

A look at some of the alien races in the game:

– Nopon: they’re natives from planet Mira, you can do business with them.

– Ma Non (?): an alien race with really advanced technology. They’re pacifists.

– Baias: they're totally NOT pacifists. They’re hostile to Humanity, and they’re one of the main enemies in the game.

Some translations over at Siliconera.

Will update the website/Twitter OP when we get translations for some of the stuff!

Last Guardian Wii U release confirmed.

Sawanooo....

threelights · Mar 12, 2015

These screens are looking very good.

Gonna listen to the music now.

CHC · Mar 12, 2015

I'm half expecting a special preview that shows the games ending at this point...

You guys got me already! I'm sold on it!

kuroneko0509 · Mar 12, 2015

still waiting for someone to edit this and put TLG logo on it
EDIT: i think the 3rd race probably Baias... or probably Vias instead of Bayas (since they can just use ヤ instead of イア there).

random25 · Mar 12, 2015

Gonna get a javelin for my doll. Mecha dragoon here I come!

Soulflarz · Mar 12, 2015

I like Sawano, I just dont really think Xenoblade when I hear this. Will reserve judgement until I hear the whole OST though?

I put in as much effort as Sony, in MSPaint.

Gabeking · Mar 12, 2015

I'm definitely in the minority but I'm really digging the soundtrack thus far

I really like the soundtrack too! Not sure it's really a minority, though.

I don't hate it. This new song is pretty good I think.

Edit: I think all the sample songs on the website are pretty good actually.

ozfunghi · Mar 12, 2015

Nice.

Seik · Mar 12, 2015

That's one of the best tracks I heard from the OST so far.

-Horizon- · Mar 12, 2015

All I hear is Aldnoah Zero...needs more eggs.

ohlawd · Mar 12, 2015

who's this girl? she's cute and I can't even see her face

Just seems like a lot of people arent a fan of the composer for some reason

GaussTek · Mar 12, 2015

Dat Shingeki no Kyojin vibe in the new track <3

Shiggie · Mar 12, 2015

I'm really liking this soundtrack. It takes inspiration from everywhere and that's really refreshing to hear.

the face would hurt the love

it is strange no one knows who she is lol

also the costumes and armor make it look like a different game

Well, this thread is going better than I expected it to. DON'T LOSE YOUR WAY

paolo11 · Mar 12, 2015

Damn!! Those Dolls from the new artwork is so badass!!! Dual guns!!!!

Chaos17 · Mar 12, 2015

Oh how I wish I stuck with studying Japanese all those years ago.

Most likely early next month for the next stream

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Mar 12, 2015

Is this the normal battle track?

I can see some people complaining about the lyrics, but I have a feeling it's going to be one of those tracks that I'm not really sure of at first but eventually grow to like it over time.

Highwind · Mar 12, 2015

Don't mind the battle theme. The rap....eh, would rather it was taken out but I'll live.

So far I am liking the 3 battle themes we've heard from XCX.

Also from the first battle theme:

"If you are losing your way you need some protection."

I knew it reminded me of an specific anime. Damn Sawano.
It seems like a track for a mecha battle, at least it sounds like a good situation for it to be used. I'll reserve my comments until we get the complete soundtrack, but there has been vocals in almost every song. I don´t know what to think about that.

ohlawd said:

Maybe that's intentional, considering some of those faces

Still, that artwork with the girl and that creature is pretty good. I wonder what's their role in the game?

Yeah, I've seen a decent number of people not like Hiroyuki Sawano, but I don't think it's too many.

Lilo_D · Mar 12, 2015

Interesting!

random25 · Mar 12, 2015

For those who are wondering how the battle music will actually sound during the actual battles, try watching the Treehouse stream of XCX last year.

https://youtu.be/qKKiODpn6Fg?t=20m35s

Or this one from one of directs last year.

someone said she's playable team member seen in the previous video... can't check it atm

jb1234 · Mar 12, 2015

Well, at least this piece doesn't have the grating J-Pop. That's something. His music is still *way* too heavy on the electronics for my tastes.

Chaos17 · Mar 12, 2015

I like the new battle video, it was dynamic to watch.

Dolls not being accessible full time might hurt me
;( they are too cool

right now I feel all I'll be doing is rushing to get to the point they unlock

The main criticism I have seen is his overreliance and overuse of vocal samples in plenty of his songs. It is a mixed bag, as some of them are good and some feel out of place.

Also, his ridiculous naming scheme. I hope we don't get a soundtrack with gibberish names as the Attack on Titan or the Kill la Kill one.

Xenoblade Chronicles had an AWESOME soundtrack, but I must say I'm digging this one as well. I've always been a fan of this guy's works on Anime and J-Dramas, he's very into combining those choral vocals w/ some rock/electronic elements. I think it fits well.

Hahaha, that's a great clip.

Really loving the battle music.

I will play this game for eternity.

The song names are gibberish, but not at Shingeki no Kyojin level

random25 · Mar 12, 2015

I think it wasn't mentioned in the Battle overview video last time. It's the first time I heard about "Tension Arts", which consume 1000TP. Any idea on what are those?

It was showed multiple times in previous videos, like it says, arts that consume TP and more powerful.
