Thanks for the vid AJ! I'm really excited for Soul Covenant too! It's pretty much the same team as for Soul Sacrifice and seems to be the same structure as well, so it will most likely be some kind of dungeon crawler with really basic maps full of monsters and tough boss fights, like Soul Sacrifice, God Eater, Toukiden, etc... The producer, Koh Okamura, worked on many games other than Soul Sacrifice, like Blue Dragon, The Last Story or more recently Dyschronia, which I played and reviewed a few weeks ago. It's a niche game since it's kind of a VR mistery novel/point and click and it certainly has some pacing issues, but it was a great story, probably the best one I've seen in VR so far, with an excellent ending and some very good things from the stunning visual effects to the excellent OST and character design. Ended up loving the game and I'm pumped up since Soul Covenant's plot shares a lot with Dyschronia. The post apocalyptic and dystopian Tokyo runned by an AGI, the enhanced humans, etc... but with the experience of Thirdverse in terms of action games, RPGs, and epic boss battles. The visual effects look quite similar too, but it seems even better and I can tell you that it will be a blast to see in VR! As for the podcast, you've seen the last one which was focused on the OST, but you can find many others on their channel that develop other aspects of the game. Some of those podcasts have a full english translation. It's like most of those japanese "developers talk", not very fun to watch but you can catch some cool informations aboutcthe game. Nothing will talk better than experiencing the game, so I can't wait to watch your first impressions :)
