Looks amazing.
you just killed all that hype. you're not wrong tho.
It could very easily be a sequel. Plenty of room left to explore.
The chat log shows speakers who aren't the party (named player1, player2 and player3 respectively). This could just be an actual thing that exists in the in-game universe, or it could just be testers fucking around. Either way we can't really draw decisive conclusions. My guess is definitely single-player focused with optional online co-op. Breaking apart monster limbs/parts appear to be an evolution of Xenoblade's combat system utilising position as a factor, however it will still be very RPG-heavy, nothing like a MonHun game and not as punishing. AI appears to be on par with XB's as well.

I really like the visuals and art style so far, but I'm more of a fan of single player RPGs.

it looks like Shulk was in the trailer so it takes place at about the same time but it doesn't appear to be a direct sequel.
also yeah. don't try to do everything. I only did side quests when I happened upon them. otherwise I just explored around and advanced the story.
I really think it's Xenoblade sequel with optional co-op. Since the party attack is still in the game(which doesn't make sense for multiplayer).

Square Enix will always have excuses. They can no longer compete with this.
It's not a matter of whether they can deliver but how many other Japanese RPG studios will pass them by.
Atlus, From Software and Monolithsoft already have.
Mistwalker, Level 5 and Tales Studio are knocking on the door.
We can't say for sure but art direction in general looks quite different. Much less stylized and colorful, so I'd wager it isn't a sequel.

Looks beautiful,
I am just not convinced about the gameplay. It seems basically you run around, killing big dinosaurs.
I hope that's just the trailer concentrating on something which not indicative of the whole game, though.

I'd much rather have co-op partners than depend on more iffy a.i.

It's a tough call for me. Blue Exorcist was really good too, but I usually skip the first four songs on the first OST. I liked the Song of the Sun (Taiyou no Uta) OST he did a lot too. Then there is the Marks no Yama, Team Medical Dragon 1-3, and so many other awesome OST's.
I really like his contributions to this show too:

Man, I don't have a favorite, I like them all.
Monolith Soft has me hyped for this game soley for the music already.
I'm excited!!
Hiroyuki Sawano working on a video game. Yahoo!!
If they drop the brown dudebro look, NOA might pretend the game doesn't exist again, though.

Watch some Xenoblade gameplay and you'll probably get a good idea of what this game will be like.

Is this direct competitor to Monster hunter? It looks very similar.
I don't know, here the first area shown is like a giant gaur plain (!) and sky and grass contrast is toned down. But wild and anthropomorphic landscapes is still surely here.

Looks glorious.
I hope we don't have to wait for these games for too long.

Remember this, guys?
It's been so long.
Haha, no one could have known at the time.
Tanaka's back? Consider me interested.

I might just have to get a Wii U now.
If that video of a (Pre?)Alpha version of a game shows us what the Wii U is capable of, I really don't mind it, I mean, it looked gorgeous, it looked fucking beautiful, the only way I can get spoiled by something else is if Sony/M$ go the farthest they can go with their system capabilities, and even regardless of that, it will still look good, and that's two worlds of difference compared to what I could have said about the Wii even at launch.
Also, I hope Sakaguchi is still close to Iwata, last time he said the lack of HD hurt The Last Story, well, Sakaguchi-san, it's your chance to redeem yourself now*!

Redeem with others, I was more than happy with TLS

That was the first screen they showed of Xenoblade? No wonder people reacted badly at the time
My thoughts exactly, except unlike FF VS XIII we know this one's gonna be good

Wow, get over yourself. Seriously, why would you even come into this thread? I'm sorry other people enjoy games you don't. The game looks amazing. I love all three of those games and elements from them are great to include. This looks expansive and full of features.
If you played Xenoblade, it looks exactly like that, but HD. It plays really differently. MonHun has the superior battle system by far btw.

Correction. You should say, "Now, I might just have to get a Wii U when this comes out."
See, just a quick change in wording and you still get to play this Day 1.
Buying systems for games that aren't out yet is just silliness.
Wait for them to arrive and THEN buy the system with it.
Make the new Xeno game YOUR Wii U launch title.

GAF then: "What the fuck is a Monado? R-O-F-L at Nintendo"
GAF now: "HOLY FUCKING SHIT MY DICK TURNED INTO A DINOSAUR AND ATE ME"
