‘Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion' Shows Off Its New Heavy Armor

The newly revealed Heavy Armor in 'Titanic Scion'.
In a new trailer for Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, we get to see a much bigger type of mecha called Heavy Armor that is similar to the Arsenals from the first game.
To make all of this a bit confusing, the smaller power armors we've already seen in Titanic Scion are already called Arsenals.
That aside, the power armor in Titanic Scion can enter the Heavy Armor and 'pilot' it accordingly. This is actually similar to the setup in the first Daemon X Machina, except the pilots of those Arsenals technically lacked power armor (and I'm not counting the upgraded armor for the pilot as power armor here).
It also seems that not only can Heavy Armors transform and fly around, but that their usage is limited, which gives me flashbacks to the first Lost Planet game on the Xbox 360 and the thermal energy-powered Vital Suits.
In any case, this new Heavy Armor setup flips Titanic Scion on its previously powered armored head, and that is interesting, especially as there will be instances where you face down Heavy Armor in your power armor and vice versa.
It also seems that the base character abilities are more fleshed out now, and that too will play a big part in the game.
To be honest, the more that comes out about Titanic Scion, the more I'm on board with what it's doing. From everything I am seeing, it feels like this will be a proper evolution from the first Daemon X Machina, and that's a rare thing in gaming these days.
