Ah, thanks a bunch. Gonna update the OP in a few minutes.
Is there any relevant info from the website? Other than the list of VA for the MC that StreetsAhead already translated.

The real question is when are they going to showcase mech customization?

Is putting the voice actor's name standard practice in the selection screen? I'm thinking of other games with selectable voices and most of them just describe the type of voice in-game. The name for the actual person doesn't appear until the credits roll.

damn. that's great
There are various short commentary stuff from Monolithsoft staff about the costumes and so on. I'm not going to bother, it's not very interesting.
Depends on the game really. It's not exactly unheard of, especially for games using the VA talent as a selling point.
Here here! I imagine the mechs will have a fair amount of customization we'll get to see but for product purposes we'll get the stock variant.

It was more of a joke there but Saints Row 4 had a voice option that was straight up "Nolan North" (voiced by ...Nolan North) ...clearly a self-aware jab at the overuse of Nolan North as a VA.
I still don't get what the deal with Tatsu is. He's in almost every artwork together with the other party members, BUT he isn't among the other party members on the affinity charts, and if you watch gameplay he's slow as shit and he doesn't appear in the HUD! Is he just a guest tugging along in the entire game or something?
It is a mystery.

He just seems to be local guy helping with different things.

Something about how long he's been working on the OST? He's probably been working on the game since before the first reveal (over 2 years ago) but nice to get some info from him.... Something about Attack on Titan... Google Translate really drops the ball on Sawano's twitter lol -_-

.... Hopefully this works and we'll get a translation

Worked on Xenoblade X music from 2012 to early 2013 before jumping into work on Attack on Titan. Then he talks about AoT's film release.

Ah okay, thanks. I was hoping he had worked on it over the years... as opposed to just gunning out 90 tracks... I'm hopeful from what I've heard so far though (I mean, from the instrumental tracks)... not going to pass judgement on those yet. Some have been catchy, some have been too lyricy for me.

The fact that that Famitsu interview said that you party was made of four members yet the HUD in recent videos only ever shows three (even with Tatsu there) makes me think he is actually a permanent 4th party member that is distinct from the other 3 members.
At least to me so far it doesn't seem like any character has a distinct weapon and characters have been shown switching between Melee and range. What if all the weapons in the game are freely usable by all party members (with them each have a unique way of combat with it).
If that was the case Tatsu would be the one character who couldn't function the same. Due to his unique size and attacks he could have been spun off into his own unique thing.

Interesting
Right? That one got me so nostalgicHoly crap how did I miss all this!
This is so very Xenosaga, and I love it!
This game has been in development from probably as far back as 2010 when Xenoblade was released. It's clearly a large-scale effort and I can't wait to play it.

is it bad that I still want another major update?

Basically, as opposed to Xenoblade you can equip different things on your left and right arms, otherwise it's the same as Xenoblade (head, torso, legs feet). Kojima just goes on about having more stuff that's reflected in the cutscenes compared to Xenoblade and how that's great for players.
Nope. I feel we know too little about the game.
I want a 22.7GB update on my Wii U external HDD
Nothing beats the dragon armor in The Last Story. I just couldn't wear it haha.

I think we'll get big updates every 2-4 weeks. It's been almost 2 weeks since the exploration trailer, so we should get a new update video on 'the skills we need to survive' within the next few weeks.
It looks like interest in Xenoblade X has shot up based on the Famitsu top 30 most wanted list. As far as 2015 goes, the game didn't even appear until the week of February 1st, where it landed in the very bottom at #30. The week of February 8th then saw the game shift to #24, and now it has shot up again during the week of February 15th to #10 spot. Clearly, Monolith Soft's news updates has helped stir up interest in their title. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy XV holds on very tightly to its #1 position which seems like it won't change anytime soon.

Good to hear. Hopefully it sells better than the first Xenoblade. To get more japanese to buy this game they should put some Gundam Skins for your mech in that game.

Nintendo could have spent a lot of PR money to drive this game up that list if they cared enough
for some reason I hate the vibe of Final Fantasy games these days so I have not seen much to justify a #1 spot but hey that is Japan and the history of the IP goes a long way
I would like to play FFXV around the same time I play XBX to see which experience I enjoy the most
character design of FF seems to have more polished look and more work and money has gone into them but the games aways feel more overrated because it is just hype and eye-candy visuals, I almost fear I will waste $60 on a FF game and not be able to get into it
these games don't seem to feel similar at all, I get totally different feelings from them so I think I would feel better if Xenoblade X stayed low on the charts as an underdog title that just feels great to play instead of being driven by a big push and name that does not deliver the high expectations created around it
She's saying:
"Thanks!
With this, I think Moimoi can make a pair of excellent all-purpose goggles for me!"

We usually learn this through these character profile updates. So no (unless someone had super good ears).
So we got Byakuya Kuchiki? Nice.
