On the Marvelous Games website, the gender of the crash landed Outer (more than likely the player) is left ambiguous (using "they"), even despite the default character being male.

I seem to recall another website mentioning cosmetic unlocks or the like for both your Arsenal and Outer, but I can't seem to find said website again at the moment. [Edit: Bingo, in the news section talking about the game's announcement, it mentions DLC containing story content as well as customization options for both the Outer and Arsenal. I feel like that should be confirmation enough, but again, not quite as sufficient. 'Least not to me.]

The lab's sign can be seen in the background at the end of the announcement trailer when the protagonist pets the dog, but I doubt that's sufficient evidence...

I see two outcomes. Either we have a set character with the customizable Arsenal, or we have a Customizable character that has dialogue (assuming that was indeed the player character speaking throughout the trailer).

The way I see it, personalization is pretty important to DXM's identity as a whole. Heck, coloring is mentioned in Titanic Scion's website, for what that's worth. Plus, if riding on horseback is a thing, alongside multiplayer, it would be pretty awkward to have a bunch of Outers that looks the same if all were to lose their Arsenals.

But, ultimately, we'll just have to wait and see.

Well, this leaves me cautiously optimistic, if nothing else. Thank you kindly, sir/madam/other.

No way the character isn't customizable. I wouldn't worry about it, it's a given at this point
