That Kos-Mos video was totally worth it.

You want to know the worst part about this game? It features Reiji and Xiaomu, the original characters from Namco X Capcom, yet that game has no chance of ever coming here because of licensing hell....

Off-topic: At this rate, it's gonna be a matter of time before Namco Bandai Japan completely outsources any of its given IP's to Atlus U.S.A. solely for American rights. I mean, they already did with the recent installments of the Dokapon series, Draglade, ST!NG games, along with the Summon Night and Super Robo Taisen (AKA Super Robo Wars) Original Generation franchises.

Going back on topic, I'm wondering what's the reaction at the American offices of Namco Bandai, upon finding out that 3 Namco characters will NOT be published by Namco Bandai America.

Ok, Ok ..From what I've seen of that 11 min. video, screen shots, and my like of almost anything Atlus publishes, THIS game seems to be a day one buy for me. If anything I'll get it for the novelty and the fact that I wish to support Atlus's new endeavor to localize games like madmen. Games that were thought to originally have low chance of arriving on American soil(at least without import status attached). If there one thing aside from gameplay that I want Monolith Soft to MAKE right here is voice over. I mean, heck, if they plan to leave the original Japanese voice over as is fine go ahead(most of us would appreciate it all the same). But if they add English voice overs for the specials/combos/combat, please don't just slap it together. Make a effort to choose the right actors according to the original Japanese voices and a characters persona. After all, we the gamers have to listen to it through every battle. I hope the ability to switch between voice overs is available, you know just in case. Sad to say, years of bad dubs as left me with a considerable amount of caution to localization of these things.

Just coming from a woman who likes robot games...one day, they'll put a guy there with his package jiggling, and people will protest to the top of the world. But this one lone voice will now say 'HEY LADY! You're fighting BIG HUGE mechs! Put on some versatile fighting clothes and LEAVE the LINGERIE at home!

Do men seriously think its comfortable for women to jump around with everything bouncing?

Other than that, it DOES look like a great game, night fighting and lots of robot stuffs. :3

"Just coming from a woman who likes robot games...one day, they'll put a guy there with his package jiggling, and people will protest to the top of the world."

Actually, the equivalent to the womanly exposure in that video, if a guy was placed there instead, would be showing the guy's semi-bare chest. Not his...ah...package, Monolith Soft was obviously focusing on their "upper" half.
Aside from the obvious fan service, if your looking for logical battle wear on most woman in Japanese games, that endeavor might take awhile to accomplish. After all Japanese animation is notorious for having women enter battle with less than 65% covering, or performing acrobatics with huge breasts and no bra( although I'm guy, I imagine that must be somewhat discomforting). Logic obviously doesn't apply here, if it did, we wouldn't have such great games out of Japan. So forget the short comings( or bonus ^_^ depends on the person), and enjoy the floating damage points and ridiculous combos on April 28.

Heheh, I guess your right. I should probably count my blessings. Japan did give me Cloud and Sepiroth. *__*
