These enemies look pretty cool.
And the art is still fantastic.
I really hope we get an art book.

Crap this game just keeps looking better and better. Those views are absolutely gorgeous! (Love the land bridge screenshot) Monster designs are awesome! The Unique/Overed battle theme isn't You Will Know Our Names level but it doesn't sound too bad.
Also is that a new alien species I spy? Betting that we'll be getting a Colony 6-type thing where more and more aliens start moving in as the story progresses and we'll get quests involving humans and aliens clashing and coming to understand each other... Can NOT wait!!

can't seem to get excited about this game even tho the monsters and world look so nice. none of the characters appeal to me at all, and i hate the idea of a silent, customizable protag. hope the characters we haven't seen yet are interesting.

Can anyone offer a rough translation of what's happening in the video? Watching it made me think that it's early in the game (since they fight a Lv. 5 enemy), they encounter a bunch of dead monsters, and decide to challenge the monster that killed them. Maybe it's also serving as a tutorial for targeting different parts of enemies?

So many diverse creature designs
Some great Art and Creatures.
I wonder though. The Concept Art shows some of the large destroyed remnants of the Ark Ship sticking out of the ground, most prominently the "nose" section. I don't think we've seen an Environment with that one yet though in the "worlds" shown so far.
Remember, that piece should be the size of NLA

Stone Hippo? Some designs are a bit similiar to Xenoblade monsters but it's a non-issue.
BLADE Part 1: Upon that Nameless Planet - Tatsu's adventure leading up to the moment the colony ship crashes on Mira.
BLADE Part 2: Our Beautiful Blue Birthplace, a Sphere of Water Suspended in Space...Earth - The captain of the colony ship White Whale recounting the journey from escaping Earth to crash landing on Mira and encountering the first monsters.
24 Hour Happy People Part 1: Do People Really Eat to Live, or do they Live to Eat? - Lynlee Ku on the colony ship as it wanders through space, goes to find some ingredients to cook up a real meal for the crew, but encounters some shady characters in the back streets of NLA.
24 Hour Happy People Part 2 just released and is probably a continuation of that.
edit: fixed links to gessenkou's translations.
it seems so, outside of battle cries. The large cast choice of possible voices at least give that indication.
Maybe we'll get a late game plot twist
when Cross realises who he truly is, he will find his voice/personality again. Then he/she will have a few lines.

Has there ever been an RPG that lets you make your own character and often talk a lot?

I will play the game but I refuse to kill any of these beautiful creatures.

I know the creature design is the focus of this update, but I keep replaying the last 15 seconds of that video. I'm praying that it sounds that good throughout whole track.
This one is so cute tbh.
Looks like a docile sheep!

I see an armadillo mixed with Ankylosaurus.

We know of at least one so far. Blue artist guy.
Hey Zolbrod, think you could translate the stuff from the website? Except the short story of course, that's a bit too much, ha ha.
Oh, and today's tweets too.
I think StreetsAhead is busy at work, so we need someone to cover for him

These platform structures remind me of the ones on Bionis' Shoulder:
...and Bionis' Leg:
...and also Bionis' Interior. (Late-game location spoiler I guess)
Someone at Monolith really likes those top heavy rock formations.

No, I meant JRPG and WRPG universally.

Bioware games alone invalidate that.

Only Mass Effect from what I know of.
I want to overhype myself, but seriously: so far this game has the best "overworld" I've ever seen in a videogame. there are bigger or better, in terms of tech, overworlds, probably, but this mixes really well both tech, art direction, variety, richness, mistery and so on...

Don't worry the rap will start shortly after where it cut off in this vid.
