EPIC

and what did we learn ... except its awesome looking

The online play looks SICK.

Even if you want to play single-player, you can have a random stand-by player added to your party as a 4th member. You can also play directly with squad quests and solo-missions without one players entire party they use in the campaign.

9 vs AI (4 players with their designated parties that is used in-game)
4 vs AI (one player picks the main character they use along with three other online players)

That's what I got out of it, anyway.

Can anybody else explain it better?

This game is so pretty...

This looks gorgeous. Flying mecha battles against giant monsters? Sold!

I hope this makes a boost on comg tomorrow.

This game is the definition of coolness.

Giant mechs flying and fighting against giant alien monsters on a inmensive beautifull world. Sold.

Heh, now my friends are gonna start making Racetracks for this game once it comes out. Do you guys think this should be classified as a MMORPG now? Because I feel it can.

IT's over can someone share a link of the direct!!???

- Congrats on passing your Doll certification exam. You're now a pilot. You're responsible to support NLA and explore Planet Mira.
- Doll types. Doug knows a lot about Dolls. Light, Middle, Heavy types. Light type: HP is low, evasion is high. Middle: balanced.
- Heavy type: HP is high, agility is low. Which to choose is up to you. They're not just to look at. Let's see them in action.'
- Dolls can all transform into wheeled vehicles: motorcycles, cars, treaded vehicles. Transform into flying machines as well.
- Dolls can be customized to your liking by buying parts, though it can be expensive. Dolls also use weapons and arts in battle.
- Hand weapons are used in auto-attacks. Arm weapons include beam shields and vulcans. Spare Weapons incl. beam sabres, granades.
- Back weapons can be pulled out for high-powered attacks. Shoulder weapons are even more powerful still. Some aren't in shops.
- It makes you want to customize the strongest possible Doll, no? Customize the color and name. Dolls require fuel, even w/ arts.

- Additional fuel can be bought in NLA. Manage it carefully. Catch enemies with your Doll to prevent them from moving, do combos.
