So does the system require choosing your alliance, or is it just your top 5 friends for the week?
Whoever your to 5 friends are for that week. Magic!

Is this enjoyable as a single player experience?
Destiny, The Division and games like them are playable as single player experiences, but you will not get far and half the game is unavailable to single players. Is this similar?
It is absolutely similar, you can experience almost all of the content on your own - and decide the difficulty that you want to experience that content at.
However being alone will make it difficult to do damage combos (although you still would be able to if you are clever with your loadouts).
But yes, as this is an online game - you decide how much you want to interact with others. Start small, work your way up ;)
is the vip demo going to be downloadable before the release of it ?
Yes, you'll be able to preload on January 23rd (tomorrow!!)
Are you able to buy the Legion of Dawn edition as an upgrade for the standard edition? Like how you're able to buy the deluxe upgrade for BattleField V.
There is no information regarding this, right now the only route for the Legion of Dawn armor set would be to order the Legion of Dawn Edition (or via Origin Access Premier for the PC community).
If this changes, we'll make sure to speak about it.
What do the symbols in the flairs mean? I know PC, PS4 and Xbox, I'm talking about the symbols next to them.
Hey there, I've put together a quick image to show you the Javelin Symbols in relation to their names. Check it out here
Hope that helps!
About the Legion of Dawn edition armor set:
Can these armor be acquired later in the game? It is not clear to me.
You can only acquire the Legion of Dawn armor set via purchasing the Legion of Dawn edition or via Origin Access Premier. Preordering the standard edition would grant you access to the Legion of Dawn - Legendary Ranger pack.
Well folks, this is it! It was a little over 6 years ago that we first started working on Anthem, and we’re down to exactly one month left until launch.
Back in 2012 when we first conceived of Anthem (then codenamed DYLAN), we wanted to create a whole new fictional universe, full of BioWare quality story and character. We also wanted it to be an experience you could share with friends, and to have a story that doesn’t just come to an end, but takes place in a world where things are happening right now.
We knew there would be challenges. People are skeptical of the idea of story in an online game, and for good reason. Often, the nature of online multiplayer games tends to fight story agency and interesting character interactions. And, even in the best online games, it’s easy to lose interest or run out of things to do when your friends aren’t online.
We designed Anthem to address these design challenges by trying something new and different. With...
Read moreAbsolutely baseless speculation: I'm guessing it will work asynchronously like you're describing. My reasoning being that if it's you + five friends, you can't include everyone in a fireteam (or whatever we're calling them in this game), meaning if everyone's online and available, someone's going to get left out, which isn't a good feeling. Plus, if we compare to Destiny's (admittedly flawed) clan system, you've got a system where individuals can contribute to the group through solo play (when they bother to give us solo-able bounties, at least), so there's precedent in the genre.
Baseless no more! Async for sure. It doesn't matter who plays with who, just that they play at all.
This is very cool, just two quick questions..
Why 6 and not 8? Seems like 2 of my buddies are getting screwed when max party size is 4. I'm guessing it partly has to do with the rate of earning coins, it just seems slightly odd.
Do you have to be currently online to get credit for each other's play time/activities?
i.e. I can be offline while my buddy is playing and as long as he's in my alliance I'll still get alliance points for the week.
If so this sounds great because I have buddies across all of the US time zones, so being able to contribute even if not able to do a full coordinated group run is always a positive.
You do not have to play with them, so we aren't bound by multiples of group size. And yes, we are tracking whenever anyone plays for this system. So you can be offline and we will still track your friend's earned XP while they are playing.
In your bio it says you were in charge of multiple things including “competition” is that code for something planned later?
Yes.
Is that secondary bucket the guild system, alliance system, or something completely different?
Alliance.
It's still not clear. Do you have to play anthem with these friends or does it count even if all of us are playing separately?
You do not have to play with them. You can all play separately.
Well I have 0 regular “friends” that I play with so rip me
We've got you covered. There is also a bucket for 'everyone else' you play with, although less rewarding than friends.
Also hi! I guess I'm the Dev quoted here so this is meta. Spooooooky
How does the multiplayer and open world interact? Is it like destiny where other players are phased into the world or is it like borderlands or Diablo where players just drop in if you open your session?
It sounds like you are taking about free play mode in Anthem. For that mode you can pick a starting point on the map and play, which either adds you to an existing dedicated server or spins up a new one. Each server has a max of four people. So if you are out in the world during free play, and another player joins your server, they will start/join at whichever point they picked on their map.
So it's sort of neither of your examples exactly. Does that make sense?

The Monitor is getting closer to harnessing the power of the Anthem and if he does, it means the end for the people of Fort Tarsis. It is up to you to venture out into the world on various missions and quests in order to stop him.
PLAYER NOTE: Anthem is still under development and the specifics of missions are subject to change, but for now this what we’re able to share.
Mission Basics
As you proceed along your path, each step will have missions for you to complete. Along the way, you’ll also make introductions with agents representing the ...

In Anthem, you are a Freelancer – a member of an elite group of javelin pilots called to protect humanity from the dangers of this chaotic world. And while there’s no shortage of missions that you’ll be asked to take on, you can also venture out within the game and explore the world at your own pace with Freeplay – where you are free to discover new challenges and secrets along the way.
Always Vigilant
Venturing out into the world, even without a specific mission, still allows y...
Read moreThank you for taking the time to reply, I was hoping to get the maximum number of players per alliance that anthem will support?
Sorry, this may be a source of confusion. Alliance is not a guild/clan system. It is a system that awards you some extra Coin depending on how much you and up to five of your friends play the game each week. Hopefully that helps.
Just a quick question:, I just wondering, the N7 skin will be a cross-bio reward for owning one specific of the Mass Effect series or just a normal in-game reward?
Currently it is a normal, in-game item.
