The direct alleviated my one worry about the game: voice acting. By being able to just bypass the english dub, I am now 100% convinced that I'll enjoy this game more than Xenoblade Chronicles X. Also, that's a hell of a lot more crap than I was expecting in-terms of game mechanics and features. Some people might consider it 'overwhelming' and it might be if it were a 10 hour game but Xenoblade games are like, 100hr time sinks so something that detailed, introduced piece-by-piece is going to be second nature to players by the end of the game.
