2. I found AGWs positively useless in this game except for maybe one fight. Are you really gonna be using them a lot? If so that will give me a whole new way of seeing the game played.

Likewise here --- the game is beatable w/o using them except when the tutorial forces you to.
(Like that simulator in hangar you didn't use because you didn't want to wear out AGWS? It's beatable on foot)

I like how you got what looks like an SMG as the drop off that hybrid miniboss.

Is there ever a stated reason why they built KOS-MOS to look like some long-haired magic anime girl instead of, y'know, a Terminator? Maybe they wouldn't be so surprised if their killer death-bot looked like a gleaming metal skeleton.

There is a flashback scene which explains that, IIRC.

With respect to the weird boss names (Perun, Stribog, Svarozich) : they're all riped off of Slavic
mythology.

EP is refilled between battles, right? So Erde Kaiser is basically the game's fast-forward button. "Tired of slogging through random encounters? Here you go, now they're all dead."

No, it's not auto-refilled, but items to refill it are pretty accessible.

Jr, MOMO and chaos to show off the redesigns for the first 2.
(I don't remember whether chaos changed, but I am pretty sure Ziggy continues being
his awesome self).

Oddly, Xenoblade is the one Xeno game that I never hear people praising the plot. Oh yes, I recall a lot of talk about it being the best JRPG of its generation but that had to do with gameplay, not the storyline or characters.

It's also the only Xeno- game where the storyline is appropriately sized for the game.

I know I have asked this before, but I am going to ask again. You really, really promise this is going to make some level of some sort of sense at the end, right?

At end of Episode III.
