Riding and controlling a weaponised mech, players can explore every inch of the massive open world displayed in gorgeous high-definition graphics. The world is filled with strange and imaginative creatures, from small bugs to giant dinosaurs. As characters improve in different classes, they will learn new combat and defensive skills, or Arts. Players can customise the Arts palette as their characters learn new Arts. All Arts have a 'recast' time - once cast, the player must wait out a 'cooldown' period before that Art can be used again. Players can customise everything about the main character's appearance, including gender, shapes, height, skin colour, voice, and tattoos.
