I assume it's because it would mess with the transforming abilities. But it'd be nifty to account for that and mix and match parts for light types, then for medium and heavy. Nonetheless, I love all the weapons... :drools:

You think they'll actually translate them all? At best I was expecting them to cut them in half.
Of course it also depends how much that character actually does speak. He seems like a silent protagonist so far.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Soul voice kinda threw a wench into that, theres tons of soul voices used in combat, with different ones corresponding to the personality of your avatar, so theres tsundere options and genki options and royal princess options, etc. So they maybe cant cut the personality/accents down for gameplay reasons.

Yeah. The voice options seem very fluff. Considering they don't influence anything. They're not like a personality selection or something that influences how the story goes.
A lot of these don't directly translate either. I think Kansai is the one that just has a Southern accent used as it's equivalent. Also it may be hard in English to really make really distinct some of those male choices.
I would rather they stick to four or five more broad archetypes each. Have British as one option as a nod.
Damn, that's good.
This soundtrack is so inconsistent, lol. Some tracks I adore, while others induce some real heavy cringing.
Thanks a bunch, added to the OP!
Well I hope you enjoy working for it, since it's the most expensive one. It seems to be proficient in melee since it comes equip with that "scythe."
I will explore, search, fight and kill for it . It will me mine. Mine!

Im so hypedd.
The designs are so good.
The designs are so good.
That would be awesome.
Fantasy life had a DLC and it was totally worth more 50+ hours of gameplay for its price.
I hope X will follow it.
First thing I do when I get here is jump off and find out what's waiting for me in those murky depths.
Just looking at the landscapes in this game, you can tell they really thought long and hard about ways to explore this world via Doll.
Not trying to diminish that. Just would have loved different head, arms and torso options to get a mech that looks more personal.
Yeah, figured it has to do with the transformations.
Gonna fight as a walking turret only with the legs and torso left.

What's the split going to be between mech combat and regular combat? Will you only be fighting huge bosses and stuff as mechs?
The game looks gorgeous. Can't wait.

You can do both.
The picture below show that you can attack on foot while the rest of your party can stay in their mechas.
But for flying enemies, I guess that tactic wouldn't be possible.

Ditto. I really hope they show the game off in English finally at E3, if they don't I fear this is going to get delayed.
They know the prefect music to use where you'll start working on designing your mech and when you look at the clock, 7 hours will have passed.
Considering Zelda has been pushed back, I'm going to assume it's not going to come until Autumn.
It's just sooo chill, kinda reminds me of when I wasted hours to no end customizing my cars on NFS Underground 2...
I dunno how people can still badmouth Sawano if they listen to something like this.
This game will be amazing wont it?
I for one hope for a giant mecha final boss battle between the bionis and the mechonis.
Looks like you can switch between mech combat and foot combat freely, and you can even fight with a mixed party of people on foot and people in mechs. It is probably safe to assume that there will be parts of the game where you can't use mechs, such as some indoor dungeons. There will also probably be sequences where you have to use mechs, such as theoretical fights up in outer space. We'll know when the game comes out.
Don't forget you will have improved stat'/buff for human when they're mixed with Dolls. If I remember well.
The doll video gameplay explained that you will have 6 equipements slots available for your mecha. Wich mean that yes, you can wear a laser canon+a beam sword if you like.
Here's a sub version : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSE_l9baH2w
Mmm, what I have highlighted isn't the weapon section, but the body section. Which is why I was asking if we can change the Doll's body parts or if that's simply there for no reason.
But in the image he linked to and is highlighting, it looks like all the weapons are going in the empty slots above the red box (you can see the icons for things like spare weapons, shoulder weapons, etc.)
The parts in the red box appear to be for the body: "head", "arm left", "arm right", "body", "leg". I think his question is whether we can mix and match the actual body part designs, not just the weapons themselves (e.g. put a Wels-looking head on a Lailah-type body).
The likely explanation is those are "armor" slots (as opposed to weapon slots) - like an upgraded helmet and arm gauntlets that have higher defense and evade rates. But it's not clear if upgrading your armor would actually change the appearance of your mecha, vs. just having upgraded stats.
They'll probably keep it to stat changes. But I'll be so happy if it also applies changes to the aesthetics. I have to wonder how effective it'll be though, since the value of a light doll vs a heavy doll is higher evasion but lower HP. Probably also add some varied bonuses/detractions to resistances.
I just gave an example that the video gave.
Anyway, I strongly advise you guys to watch the subbed version if you have more questions about dolls.
Well the soundtrack is huge, so it's bound to be mixed. You can never please everyone anyway ^^For me, the soundtrack feels like a mixed bag still. Some good, some meh.
The game will definitely be great though, I just know it

I want a poster version of this piece. I freaking love it.The artwork is great. Someone actually did a photoshop to make it look like it's a cover to a sci-fi novel.

So, this "Tourmaline" is an unknown doll?
I think the player just named his doll rather than it being an unknown type.
The artwork is great. Someone actually did a photoshop to make it look like it's a cover to a sci-fi novel.
Woooooooow that is slick.
I don't even know how to verbalize my praise for everything this game looks to be doing right. I don't want to use hyperbolic language but it's good, it's damned good.
Meanwhile that sure as heck isn't any Amdusias head I've seen.
Maybe it's the result of an upgraded version of the Amdusias. I'm really hoping this all amounts to nothing because my body isn't ready for this.
