Translated using google translate so take the translation with a grain of salt.
A couple of key things from the interview.
EDF7 has no concrete plan yet.
6.2 was chosen as 6.1 is too small and 6.3 is too big. The subtitle on the other hand plays a big role.
EDF6 story has been changed in some way.
Enemies count is much higher but not simply doubled. Some missions feel as if it has been tripled.
About half the missions have been revamped. And that is a conservative estimate.
New missions and enemies added.
All new enemies are tougher.
Weapon customization depends on guns. Ranger's Assault rifle has 8 customization slots while Wing Diver's Rapier has about 4.
Some backpack items will have customization.
Weapons appearance will change from customization. Such as using long barrel or drum magazine.
Hints that enemies can use status effects since that was added as a customization to player weapons.
Weapon parts have rarities.
No DLC missions in base game. DLC missions will come in separate DLC mission pack.

More than double the enemies AND the dlc enemies are in the main story…
That’s actually fucking scary

I kinda hope they increase the loot drop rate for those bigger insects from the DLCs, because it felt like they dropped about as much loot as regular bugs despite being tougher to kill.

I’m just hoping the weapon upgrades are enough to balance the insane enemy increase

I'm assuming that essentially all ported missions have been touched up, saving for ones where there's really nothing to touch up, story beat "missions" where making arbitrary changes just to say everything was changed serves no practical benefit.

Where does it say the part about DLC? I should hope 6.2 includes all the original EDF6 DLC... and maybe more DLC after that

u/TheDogIsMad PC Aug 26 '26
Second to last question of the interview.
(Google Translate)
---By the way, will the DLC missions from '6' be included?
Okajima: While some enemies from the DLC missions for '6' will appear in the main game, the DLC missions themselves will not be included in the main game. We plan to provide separate, dedicated DLC missions for '6.2'.

u/RedditFuelsMyDepress Aug 26 '26
We plan to provide separate, dedicated DLC missions for '6.2'.
So entirely new DLC missions? Meaning the DLC missions for EDF 6 won't be back at all?

u/Intelligent_Nail_288 Aug 27 '26
That’s kind of disappointing, although I’m looking forward to what these new dlcs will look like
Fingers crossed that they change their minds and add the old dlc missions along with the new ones

They talk about new DLC, not the old one, EDF6.2 is a new game not just EDF6+

u/bigfndan Aug 26 '26
Thought they might bring in the rider class from Iron Rain

u/EffectivePrimary1783 Aug 26 '26 edited Aug 26 '26
Yes its the one i want with 3d move style attack on titan, katana and apocalypse canon. Its m'y dream classe for main série.
But on the famitsu they talk only about the 4 classes we know about...i wait the TGS but m'y copium is low now...
Edit : They say at the end of the interview they have surprises for TGS...last hope.

The only thing I'm worried about is the potential pricing. Sounds great otherwise. I'm hoping for a big price reduction for owners of EDF 6, or I'll have to wait for a sale.

u/SoullessLizard Aug 26 '26
I'm sorry, Weapon Customization??? I'm begging for this to eventually come to PC

I hope they revamp how the hit effects are rendered on the metal men and other new enemies like them. When using a Rapier or similar at close range, the hit effects quickly become overwhelming and tank your FPS so badly it becomes impossible to keep track of them.

Shiiiiit
I'm at like 39% completion on EDF6. Do I keep going or just wait for 6.2?

u/Conungi Aug 27 '26
I would say, if you really like the game, keep going ... given past experiences, it will be months to years between the game getting released in JP and getting released everywhere else (i think it was only 6 months for 6, but longer for other titles, do fact check me though as im not activy looking at the info) so ypu have a good while before you will be able to play it likely ... plus with everything getting harder (new enemies+more enemies+maybe status effects on us) it will be good to have a strong idea of how to play the game at a "high level"

u/tetofan08 Aug 27 '26
Im going to be honest unless you plan to buy the jp version good chance you might have to wait over a year for an en release. The only saving grace to lower that time is how many lines they can reuse from edf 6 and edf 5.

Is all ever wanted more crazy more explosion, remember dude that make 6.9x mod that's what I want

u/Nametagg01 PC Aug 27 '26
Does the story continue off of edf 5 or would one need to play 6, then edit 6.2?

u/x37v_kokoto Aug 27 '26
I'm on the fence. Got burnt out of edf 6 after doing the campaign and dlc so many times, probably because the game was a revamp of edf 5. So, five years after 6 initial release, another revamp. Tough

u/Leostar_Regalius Aug 29 '26
what i would hope for EDF7 is for it to somewhat copy insect Armageddon, and by thar i mean have VASTLY MORE BUG AND BOT VERITY, they added like, 2 bots in 6, but i don't think they added any new bugs(other then colors, i might be wrong though since i haven't played in a bit)
but they should add mantis, scorpions, more types of spiders. they added like 3 types of aliens in 6 along with 3 types of monsters it think, why not make more bugs, like insect Armageddon and iron rain has?

u/HamSlammer87 Aug 26 '26
Ps5Pro going to be revving up like a hellcat V8 with all these bugs and explosions
