Hopefully the character and armor design isn't going to be another hot mess like Xenoblade. Honestly, the whole cast and all of their armor designs looked like someone drank paint and vomited on them.
Now I don't want Gears of War brown leather dudes, but show some sense of restraint and taste.
Also Xenoblade was a horrible horrible game when it came to actually necessitating the intricate battle system. You could just steam through most of the game right up until the end game where you suddenly had to use techniques and skills that were completely useless in the main campaign.
I loved the world, exploration, environmental design but absolutely detested the characters, their idiotic design, the one dimensional personas and the story just got absolutely mind bogglingly idiotic towards the end. Seriously, it felt like a big satire rather than a genuinely enjoyable conclusion.
What I want from this:
-Make skills and special abilities a necessity throughout the game, not for the last 4 boss fights
- Please create characters that have more than one emotional trait
- Keep the sense of wonder and discovery from Xenoblade
- Don't try to compensate for shitty characters with a needlessly convoluted story that makes no sense and makes the characters look even more pathethic.
- Go nuts on the environments. The things they've shown so far are allready great, but going by Xenoblade there is still a lot in store for us, so have at it.
- Keep all the good stuff from xenoblade (time dial, tons of sidequests, great combat system) and build upon those features.

But then how will people know that it's next-gen?
Nintendo dedicating the resources towards a worldwide revered studio for quick localization would be incredible. I am getting a little hopeful between the Pokemon announcement, the marketing for Fire Emblem (presumably in preparation of FExSMT and a greater western brand awareness campaign) and this announcement, but I'd love for Nintendo to realize one of the best opportunities they have to reach out to the hardcore market is rpgs.
There you are, Sir.
Hah. Makes you wonder if Iwata would actually finish a game like this.

Holy hell, a Japanese game made my nipples hard. First time that's happened in awhile.

I didn't think they would allow sex chat in game like that.
Top left corner of the screen (0:54 in the trailer). What might that be? A ship (read: UFO), maybe?
I'd say the walls of a city?
Well, the Xenoblade "X" is monochrome, so the correlation wasn't as imidiate for me as with Xenogears. Of course, the rest of the trailer is a different story.
I'm not really trying to imply this is in any way related to Xenogears though.

I can't wait for this game. Unfortunately, I'm guessing it'll be 2014 (probably second half) before we see it. Especially in the US. Still, I can't wait to get more details on it. The game has amazing distance to it. I wonder how far along this build actually is.

Well, this was one of the reasons i got a WiiU at launch, and so far i'm very very pleased with what we know.
I'm cruising through Xenoblade Chronicles right now for the first time and loving every single second with it.
Granted there isn't a ton to go off of right now, but my affinity for Xenoblade is really making me worry a little about the multiplayer/MonHun vibe from this new game. Not that I think it wouldn't be a fun outing in itself, but I think the story, characters, and old school JRPG feel with a fun battle system is what makes me like Xenoblade so much. If they turn this into a more arcadey co-op monster romp with a minimalist story, I will be a little disappointed.
Also, not really liking that gun/sword switching thing so much, not sure why.

Did Xenoblade have Players 1-2-3 and chat screen like this one ?
I dont play multiplayer only games, even if they resemble a SP game

Looks pretty good, pretty much a next gen Xenobl-
FUCK
I don't wanna get a Wii U goddammit fuck you Monolith Soft you magnificent assholes.
One of my biggest complaints with Xenoblade was that you8 had no vehicles to traverse the environments with and well now that that complaints fucking gone I guess I have to pony up the money to get this.
Godammit,

Well, in fairness, it could be a combination of two things:
1) The quality of the trailer itself. I remembered TW-101, and Pikmin original trailers were a bit washed out looking at E3, but high quality videos from the show-floor were considerably more vibrant.
2) The game IS still in development afterall. Choice of palette can change, and graphical touches are usually implemented later in the development cycle, as you all know. To mention TW-101 as an example again, most people seem to notice a bump in detail/sharpness/vibrancy in the recent trailer. No reason to think this won't happen with Monolith's game. I personally don't see Monolith displaying such incredible vistas, only to tarnish them with a bland palette in the final game. That's just not their style.
Honne probably did design for this too though. Personally, I'll rather Honne work on a platform where it is more practical for them to use 2D graphics. 2D RPGs are a dying artform on consoles. There's a much better chance of Honne's game having hand painted style backgrounds if it's on the 3DS. Like how Bravely Default looks.
I'm excited for his output on 3ds as well and expect incredible results, but I'm selfish and want him everywhere
Wouldn't discount it. Just trying to link the UFO recruitment ad to the trailer.
I'd be bummed if that gigantic crashed ufo ended up looking like that ingame

Yeah I think that type of X is just there way of hammering home that it is indeed a xeno game without actually coming out and saying it directly. Doubt it really has a whole lot to do with how related it may or may not be to previous entrys in the xeno name.
Given the lack of giants in the distance outdoors, I highly doubt this is a direct sequel to Xenoblade. When you were outside in that game, you could always see Bionis or Mechonis in the distance.
My one hope is that they fix the side quest system. It got so boring in Xenoblade, even when I was only doing then here and there. Being online could fix that, but I want fewer and more varied side quests. Also, fix the crafting.

Maybe it's just one portion of the UFO? Dunno, just throwing shit out there, haha.

Its not multiplayer only! How many times does this have to be said?
Though I have zero interests in most Nintendo games/hardwares, this one look just too good...now I may need to get a WiiU first instead of getting a PS4/nextbox...
Seriously though, this is what the japanese JRPG developers should have been doing for PS360...finally stepping up the game eh? S-E, are you seeing this?
