Lyn's and maybe some custom made MC faces are the only ones that look weird to me, majority of NPCs look fine

Are there any other streams going on?
You're supposed to be aloof and disinterested in everything. Stop being interested, you're making me worry!
The game really looks great from what I saw in the stream earlier. It was also obvious now why you need the download packs for the disc version to have everything loading smoothly. But even so, the performance was admirable for Wii U. And the world is packed. More than it was evident in the videos and demos until now. To the point that you can travel everywhere ... if you can survive until there. The wait for the Western version will be so difficult.

...what?
Made a gif of the (extremly short) look at the title screen. Will just link to it though since I know some people won't want to see it until they start the game up.

Reminds me of the first Xenoblade title screen, where it's basically the box art in motion. I like it.

I saw someone shared a pic of title screen hours ago on twitter, and it's just the title logo & black background lol
That's how it starts. They should've waited like, I dunno... 5 seconds LMAO

Oh a Nintendo eshop option
Probably to download the data packs for faster loading
Basic Data Pack (2 GB) – Effect: Large
A data pack containing terrain data that will allow faster loading while in the city and the game’s various fields. This data pack is required for other Data Packs to work.
Enemy Data Pack (2.7 GB) – Effect: Medium
Installs enemy data to the HDD, If the Basic Data Pack is also downloaded, it further speed up load times while out in the field.
Player Data Pack (3.6 GB) – Effect: Medium
Will install data regarding the armor and graphics of the player. If the Basic Data Pack is also downloaded, it will speed up loading in the city and when equipping changes in the shops in New Los Angeles.
Doll Data Pack (1.7 GB) – Effect: Medium
Will install data regarding the Doll mechs. If the Basic Data Pack is also downloaded, it will speed up read times when Dolls appear. You will get faster loading times while in the city and in the fields.

At least I'll have a use for all that space. It's not like I'm going to buy anything digital on Wii U.

To be honest, that was the one song I thought the vocals really ADDED to. Love when she goes 'whoa whoa whoa'. Apparently no one is streaming anymore. I missed all of life apparently.
It's really late in Asia right now, I don't expect any stream at least in the next 8~10 hours.

Patch, pack, same thing, at least it's optional.

It's not at all the same. These only exists for the disc version to improve load times to be in line with the download version since the game is so massive and they can't do the usual trickery of putting lots of duplicate files on the disc to help with the disc read times. Meaning owners of the download version don't need these (or can't even use them) at all.

So nitpicky over a joke, why?
TheMoon

Cause I wasn't clear on the fact that it was a joke^^
There are plenty of people out there who need this stuff explained to them.

I think that's the point of the whole thing since you're installing a shit ton of data and it's stuff that would need to be loaded from discs a lot. It only makes sense and I would not be shocked if those people streaming right now don't have access to those packs yet for their disc copies.

Same exact thing for me, watched about a few hours more but then decided to just stop all contact with the game until it came out in april

wait for the Digital Foundry comparison
Kappa
but seriously, someone will have to test that
I wonder if they'll use the eShop option for more than the data packs. It seems odd they'd include a XBX-branded eShop card with the console bundle if nothing was in the works specifically for the game, but I can't imagine it being more than Monster Hunter-sized quests and customization options.

DLC quests were already confirmed.

there's DLC quests, and some of them are paid ones, based on the info on the DL cards sold in Japan.

How come you didnt save your stream? ;_;
I don't know. Doesn't sound right, especially at night in the quiet section of the city.
Ah, I figured as much. The whole multiplayer aspect is definitely well suited for DLC quests, particularly as I imagine there will come a point where the raid-like bosses on the disc will eventually get old for players.

I would hope the music changes at night.
It does change and me and others in the stream kinda not liked the city night music, rofl xD
It was just really unsual for a night theme music, imo.

Its supposed to be a big city, a city that never sleeps, so I guess it's fitting
Well, it was more of a nightlife music.

It's not that dumb dance music song is it?

I actually like the night music in the town, especially when it gets to a certain part, guess they were going for the night life in LA feel where the city comes alive.
