Van Damme is, indeed, voiced by Tesshou Genda, and Irina is voiced by Nao Takamori.

Alright, done.
Elma (Houko Kuwashima)
Team Leader of the mercenary group 'B.L.A.D.E.'.
She's a calm person with acute decision-making power and insight and is thus respected by her team's members.
On Earth, she was colonel of the General Government's Special Vehicle Operations Corps (known as the 'Doll Corps')
Lynlee Ku (Maria Ise)
Mechanic for and member of the mercenary group 'B.L.A.D.E.'.
Despite her age, she's an expert at mechanical engineering and, being a child prodigy, was involved in the development of the battle robots known as 'Dolls'.
She has a bright personality and interacts with everyone without prejudice.
Tatsu (Daisuke Sakaguchi)
A member of the Nopon race, you meet up Tatsu on the planet Mira.
He comes under the player's care, after a chance meeting.
He appears to be innocent and naive, as though he's not thinking much, but occasionally will say something very perceptive.
Irina (Nao Takamori)
Belongs to the mercenary group 'B.L.A.D.E.'. Back on Earth, she was in the General Government's Special Vehicle Operations Corps (known as the 'Doll Corps'), where she served under Elma.
Now in B.L.A.D.E., she still adores and respects Elma. She has a strong-minded and frank personality, but is committed to her duty of protecting the people living on Mira.
Van Damme (Tessho Genda)
The commanding officer of the B.L.A.D.E. mercenary group.
Previously, he worked as the Chief Engineer on the emergency emigration ship 'The White Whale'.
He's broadminded, arrogant towards everyone, and has a sharp tongue, but these are his ownly flaws.

Nice translation! Thanks Streets!
Interesting that Tatsu and the Nopons are species from Mira. So this already debunks the theory that Xenoblade Chronicles' world was Earth, whoever made that
Could be the Nopon are an ancient race that once traveled the cosmos.

I don't think it necessarily means that the species is 'from' Mira, just that you meet him there.
EDIT: I changed the wording a little to make it less ambiguous.

Does anyone think Van Damme could be this game's Vangarre?

...Fix what exactly? Elma, Lynlee and Irina look fine (I mean, their designs are great). Did people complain so much about the models in the original Xenoblade too?
Masked Man
I said wow
Still convinced that Tatsu is secretly the same Tatsu from Xenoblade Chronicles
.
even though they look completely different
That's true. After seeing the edited translation, maybe I'm wrong
He could be a wandering Nopon that was also a citizen of the colony. Guess the only thing we need to find out is whether the colony that crashed to Mira had Nopons in it or not.

Kind of, Vangarre is called Vandamme in Japanese version.
He just means the eyes. The outfits are fine.
The eyes weren't quite as large in Xenoblade which is why people didn't really complain.
(They complained about the low-res...ness)

I never knew about that change, so I wonder which name they'll use for the English version.

Van Damme should be voiced by Jean-Claude in the English version.

Weekly updates, I'm not sure whether I like that. I hope they don't spoil too much or I'll need to stay clear of this thread.
You know, you really have no need to apologise (as you know). Nobody here can make any demands on you. You (Duckroll and the others) are translating all this for free, spending your own time, and we all appreciate it a lot.
Thank you very much.

Same.
Thanks a bunch, added that to the OP
I'd love it if they updated the website with some VA samples, but I'm afraid it'd slaughter their server again

Not Tetsuya Nomura lol. Can't remember his full name though.
Tadashi Nomura. He's a producer at Monolithsoft, used to be a production guy at Squaresoft before that.
Ok, just updated the OP with all the website info. Was planning to have a dedicated thread, but I thought that having two concurrent threads just for Xenoblade Chronicles X would be too much. But I think I'm soon going to run out of space, ha ha.
What do you think duckroll, should we have a separate thread for the website stuff? I mean the regular stuff, like character profiles and such.

I think what I can do is to take a post made shortly before the thread went up, like for example this one, and merge it into this thread. Then that would become the first post, and there would be two posts by the thread creator at the front of the thread. Then L~A will have twice as much space.
Lemme know if that's preferable.
Lemme know if that's preferable.
I can always add more when required. L~A has a lot of posts! I'm sure we can find some less important ones here and there from the past.
It's great that we get so much information that there is need for more OP posts. I'm looking forward to this weekly website update. the ones that we got until now were pretty consistent.
I actually like the characters that they showed until now. The only one I dislike is the playable one and that's customizable.

Sorry for the late reply.
I think that's the best option, yeah. I was actually wondering if there was an option to add more posts below the OP, so if there's one it's all good.
I think having the OP dedicated to Tweets and the second post to website updates is a good idea (with the latest of both still in the OP). That's what I planning to do when the OP was full, by making a new thread and reserving the couple first posts.
I'll move everything over once you've merged the post you mentionned.
Thanks a lot for your help!
FYI, it seems that a cancelled tweet had Kawabata explaining how Van Damme is going to have a specific theme every time he comes in a scene. There was also an audiofile there, I obtained to save it, and I just uploaded on YouTube. Go and see it before Nintendo ninjas cancel it!

I just re-watched the trailer form E3 and realized we see Irina a couple of times in it. Funny, I'd never given her a second thought.
I wonder if we'll get the male members of B.L.A.D.E. next week (widow's peak dude, blonde guy, and goat horns)?

Sure, Tetsuya Nomura is doing Monolithsoft's websites. That's why FFvXIII didn't go anywhere

Potentially 7-8 months of the game being out in Japan before it comes out in the west??
Time to sequester myself and move into a hermit's bunker.

Thank you! Elma is giving me a bit of a Mitsuru from P3 feel in demeanor, which is cool. Lynlee, Tatsu, and Irina all sound like good characters, too. As for Van Damme, he sounds a little too stereotypical at the moment, but hopefully the game will prove otherwise.
OP is fixed now.
Thanks a lot! Moved the website stuff in the 2nd post... looks great now.
Ha ha, you almost had me there. I was like "how the hell did I miss that?" for a second
Yeah, there's actually lots of stuff they showed in previous trailers, but since they never talked about it afterwards we had no idea what it was all about.
