Huh, didn't expect a text-heavy adventure game. Intrigued to see Vanillaware's take on that. That little snippet of gameplay looked a bit odd though

Of course! That's is exactly what I'm getting at. Like, the male gaze is not the main problem here.

Certainly we all here would prefer them to just be clothed, but the fact remains that our view of the male character looks up at them, framing them as modest and almost heroic, whereas our view of the female character looks down on her, accentuates the bent over position, and has her looking back at the camera making the same basic position into a much more submissive pose. That's the male gaze. Honestly, on some level it might be better to just show her bare breasts if she could look as capable and dignified as the male character! haha
But yes, clothes would help.

I can see them in gym clothes by the time it comes out West.

Looks great. The whole naked piloting thing I feel is fine, it really is not sexual in the slightest. It does seem unnecessary unless there is plot reasons why (I expect that reason to be quite dumb). I will not be shocked if it is censored for the west.
Nah, they just choose that angle to show her curve and that B, sexy as hell.
Male character was a mistreat here, no ass, no abs.

This looks okay, and I'll probably buy it, but I really would like more Grim Grimoire at some point in time.

If they attempt to sensor this shit in NA I'm buying the Japanese version (-᷅_-᷄๑
I obviously expect some kind of mecha combat and gameplay, but i'm worried because in the case of Dragon's Crown we got this trailer at it announcement 2 years before the release

you can already see all the gameplay there.
In the case of 13 sentinels we got this 2 years ago

and now we got the tgs 2017 trailer one year before the release and we still haven't seen the gameplay, at least not the one we expect, we are making assumptions but we don't even know the genre, it could even be a sort of VN.
It's an Atlus game not tied to Nintendo. I don't see that happening. Atlus tends to not care about that kind of stuff unless it's Dungeon Keeper levels of risque.
Yeah, I got that vibe too, though this won't be nearly as depressing. Also, why is everyone piloting these mechs naked?
Art looks amazing as expected from Kamitani. I wonder if this is gameplay:
Ehhhh, this has knocked my hype a bit.
Game still looks gorgeous, mind.

Lots of walking. Some bare-naked shots.
I'll hear you out, Vanillaware. I'm really hoping the top-down city shot isn't the whole of the combat though.

lots of mecha action to go around this tgs
Any chance for a physical Vita release in the west?

"Why is this game overly sexualized for seemingly no reason?"
The answer is always "because Vanillaware." They make good games at least.

Looks great as usual. Can't wait to play a new Vanillaware game!
Yes, without the gameplay.
We do now: http://13sar.jp/
It says "Dramatic Adventure" so it's definitely a 2D sidescrolling story adventure game rather than an action or RPG game. Which means we have been seeing actual representative gameplay since the first trailer - we play different characters, walk around, and talk to people and trigger events.

Naked teens piloting mechs is a bit much for me. Art style is beautiful though.

So I was right when during Sony's E3 press conference
I said one of the characters abilities was walking

I love Kamitani and his art. I love naked men and women. I love the look of this game. I love everything about this.
Cannot wait to try it out.

This looks fucking cool and I look forward to whatever VW puts out. I am quite disappointed that an HD definitive version of Muramasa was never announced since that was my favorite game from them while Odin Sphere was released and they just announced Dragons Crown. Seems like they skipped over Muramasa for some strange reason as it was highly regarded. Would double dip in a heart beat to play it on the PS4.
This is sounding a lot less interesting, if it indeed has only minimal (or no) gameplay other than walking and talking.
Naked children, and a visual novel? Well, I guess that this one won't be added to the backlog.

Might be a map , who knows ?

So what's the actual gameplay?
Running from left to right and then bouncing into some sort of isometric RPG for combat? What is this?
Art looks great but the trailer does nothing for me for the actual game part...partially because I'm just confused at what you're actually doing.

I think is pretty clear "a player" is controlling the circle to aim the lasers.

it seems a bit like a rythm game. My bet is the gameplay is that + visual novel.

I'm excited to see what they can do with something that's a bit more outside their comfort zone. It will at least be unique.

Looks gorgeous as expected and dripping with atmosphere. Between this and Dragons Crown pro it's been a damned good TGS for me so far!

I'm okay with this, GrimGrimoire was amazing.
Damn this art and atmophere are all really good, even by Vanillaware standards, and most of the character designs seem to be moderately distinct and cool. I'm actually super excited that it's not an action RPG with overly complex systems, I loved their story telling with in Odin Sphere with mutiple protagonists and I hope this is an extension on that. And maybe we'll get a more refined GrimGrimoire for our small slices of gameplay? That'd be ace.
Also I'm assuming all the people upset about naked mech piloting have never played/looked at any Vanillaware game before. Semi-realistic setting means they can't get away with outlandish
designs, but Kamitani is still going to Kamitani

It looks like an adventure game

Re: Male Gaze= More the problem is this being a cheap excuse to get a bunch of naked characters for arbitrary fiction reasons instead of some sort of EVA-plug-suit (which allowed a lot more fun and creativity with a real outfit that complimented character designs).
Anyways, gorgeous trailer otherwise with a really intriguing take on the mechs-meets-highschool idea.
