I can't wait until we finally get some localized footage.

Great video. It looks like it could easily be a sustained online game for years and years. Especially since there's nothing like it.

Drifting transformable mechs? Done.

badass

I couldn't help myself from a massive goose-bump attack when I saw this (the Overclock Doll visual):

It reminded me of this (Eva in berserk mode with the halo):

I know there is no relation, but still, I can't help myself to think that someone @ MonolithSoft loves Evangelion :)

I'm so customising a Doll with Eva 01 colours :P

Breathtakingly beautiful, if it weren't for my aversion of auto-attacks I would be preordering the game right now.

The auto attacks play a very minor role in the overall strategy and flow of battle if Xenoblade is anything to go by

Didn't need a translation for that.  Pretty sure they said Light, Medium, Heavy in english.

Well, I've tried to play Xenoblade three times already with the same result, I always end up leaving it between the 3 - 4hs mark due to the same problem, my level of tolerance with it is really low.

What exactly is your problem with it? After you get a few arts, combat becomes really active. You need to think about positioning and Break-Topple-Daze chaining with your arts. Most of the time when I play I don't even think about auto attacks.

Its been a while since I played the first few hours of the game, so I don't remember if it felt any different with fewer arts, but later in the game, the battle system becomes really active.
