Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is finally out tomorrow, and it looks like Monolith Soft saved the biggest rare Blade reveal till the end – KOS-MOS Re: from Xenosaga. This likely doesn’t have any real story significance, but it’s a nice nod to the series’ roots nonetheless. KOS-MOS Re: is voiced by Mariko Suzuki, who also voiced her in the Xenosaga games. Similarly, her Blade design was done by Kunihiko Tanaka, who was also the character designer in the Xenosaga games. Below is her summoning sequence:

Nintendo has posted a new piece from Masatsugu Saito, the main character designer for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. In it, Saito discussed how he went about creating the designs for the likes of Rex and Pyra.

Saito shared some particularly interesting notes. For example, Monolith Soft wanted the characters to have something that would blow in the wind like a camp “to express the atmosphere of the field.” He also personally requested that the characters “have their personality reflected in how they walk”, so each one has slight differences.

Here’s the piece in full:
