I can't really see Monolith Soft naming it just "X". It will definitely include the "Xeno" prefix in the end and I feel confident in saying that this is nothing compared to what it will be like when we play the final product.
Also, I have a big feeling that it is in-fact Shulk towards the end of the trailer, so that basically means story is going to be heavily relevant to attempt to explain why he is present. Can't fucking wait!

The affinity system was one of those awesome little things about Xenoblade that you could enthrall yourself with if you wanted to, but didn't necessarily spoil things if you didn't. It was a good thing, I found.
Xenoblade was not plural. ^_^

What the fuck is this, how am I late and tell me it's coming stateside.
That's how you sell me a WiiU. Fuck-ing-A.

That's the old naming scheme. This is Nintendo's Monolith, they don't need no plural.
I think they definitely nailed it and delivered what people hoped/expected.
I also like that they seems to have subdued the ridiculous costume/character design. maybe to appeal to a more western audience, which was my only real gripe with xenoblade, so that works for me.
However at the same time, it seems it has lost a little charm. And doesn't seem to have that visual hook.
But I will hold judgment until until final product launches, I will most likely be picking it up regardless.
Good Job, Monolithsoft

Dinosaurs, robo swords, guns, and mechs.
Everything I've ever dreamed up put together, and in a way that looks sensible?

But there is more than one Doll, as seen in the trailer.
The game has 2 major swords though!Because there's only one Xenoblade.
Almost.. but it does look very impressive for such an open-world rpg. Given the added polish it's likely to receive before release, it should be awesome.
Considering this is their first HD title, just imagine what they'll deliver later on in the next gen.
That's right, I'm getting hyped for hypothetical monolithsoft titles that are still 3-5 years away and don't yet exist.
How does grinding affinity enthrall you? If you want to maximize your combat abilities you have to waste time gifting tons of items then hoping you stumble upon heart to hearts in the right order. There is almost zero positive that comes from the system, and it just serves as a massive time waster if you want to be as effective as possible in combat.
Speaking of wasting time, I hope we don't have to watch the crystal crafting animation every single god damn time we make something.
There's literally no change it won't be localized.
That's one of the things I loved about the game. There were so many optional systems/mechanics that you could ignore if you wanted, and still have a successful experience.

And as someone else stated this is just a WIP, it can improve further. Bodes very well for the future. My hat is off to Monolith
Only one true Monado!

Ok. Xenodolls it is. ( ._.)

So, I see that the player Tester goes to 0 life and then a pop-up comes on the right.
Is that informing you your co-op partner died?

If the guy at the end is seriously Shulk, I might honestly have to lie down.
Xenoblade is sooo good. Especially the characters, would love them to come back in this game.

Haha, didn't notice the character's name was 'Tester'.
No. He killed one enemy before he died. The pop-up is a drop from that enemy. Lol.
The game only came out in 2010. No HD remake is needed; it's pretty enough.
Same. Goddamnit.

There's no way this isn't just Xenoblade 2 or another game set in the Xenoblade universe is it? I mean, everything looked like Xenoblade.
Either way, this Nintendo Direct has me pumped for the Wii U. Going to get one soon.

It's also quoted from about five hours into the game IIRC. Hardly 'the biggest spoiler'.

This will mean that I have to buy the first game. And they better not turn around and decide not to give this title a wide release.

Xenoblade is my favorite game ever, I screamed for hours
Pretty much.
Yes there is every likelihood that the game is not Xenoblade 2 and is set in a completely original universe. That's how Takahashi has rolled all his career. Xenogears, Xenosaga, Soma Bringer, Xenoblade. All games have lots of similarities, very similar designs, recurring story themes, but they're not in the same universe. If he wanted to make a sequel to Xenoblade, it would be Xenoblade 2. Not a new original game.

Dude is too awesome for a mech. He'd be the guy that just cuts down mechs and giant monsters with just his sword and his awesomeness.
Or he'd at least have an awesome melee mech like Jin from Xenosaga.
