Similarly, her Blade design was done by Kunihiko Tanaka, who was also the character designer in the Xenosaga games. Below is her summoning sequence:

Instead, I’d like to take a not-so-brief look back at the history of the game’s developer, Monolith Soft, and the games they developed prior to Xenoblade.
