That trailer seems horribly thrown together.
Hard to make out but I noticed this blue writing in the corner.
There's green writing earlier on which seems to be a party member/another player, so I'm guessing this might be an objective marker, unless there are also other players who aren't in your party.
Because people who played the previous game can tell it's not like what you list but like said game instead, plus maybe we've seen its ilk before but we don't exactly get all that many good freeroaming RPGs anymore, you know, so when one shows up it's only logic we get excited.

I would guess it has co-op. It would have suited Xenoblade pretty well, and I'm sure this will have a single player option too. And it's Takahashi, I'm sure it will have a crazy, lengthy story and not be a MH clone.
And I doubt it's THAT far off. I mean, Xenoblade came out in Japan nearly 3 years ago, so they've been working on this for a while. 2014 at the latest unless Monolith Soft is having Square Enix-like issues.

The game kind of looks like a much prettier version of that MMO, RaiderZ.

Multiplayer confirmed, basically?
I...this...omg...XEMMOBLADE PLEASE BE TRUE YES PLZ?!
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).
Ha! Nice catch!
This is definitely a Xenoblade sequel, from the arte palette to the three party member status stacked on top of each other on the top right, party attack, unique monsters, fast running speed for traversing the massive overworld.
I'm so fucking psyched!
I nearly fainted... my favorite game of last gen getting a sequel??? With mechs and what looks like a more interactive battle system? Graphics look absolutely gorgeous and imaginative, Monolith has always had some of the best artists in the industry so it's nice to see what they can do with WiiU.

I've only seen one episode of it a while back. I should watch the whole thing soon (With English subs, I don't know enough Japanese). I forgot what it was about. I own the OST so I know it has cool music.
It doesn't say "Xenoblade 2" anywhere in the trailer, though. It says "X," so that's what's there.

No reason to think they are until we see them.
2014 seems like a safe bet... for Japan.
Hopefully there's a push to get this out in North America either simultaneously or in short order.
Expecting something along the lines of:
- Pikmin 3 - Summer 2013
- New Mario 3D, Yoshi Epic Yarn, Zelda Wind Waker - Fall 2013
- Bayonetta - Spring 2014
- New Mario Kart - Summer 2014
- New XenoDolls Game - Summer-Fall 2014 (Heh, XenoDolls.)
- New Smash Bros. - Fall-Winter 2014
- New Zelda HD - 2015
Something like that.
Meanwhile at Square Enix...
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII - 2015?????
Wow they might just convince me to get a Wii U. They just need one more push with how Zelda turns out and my money is there's.

This is a Tetsuya Takahashi RPG, so not really.

If this is a MonHun clone I'm out. I want that 60h SP-experience without that PSO/MonHun. Those games are good for that, I want my Xeno pure.
Too bad if it turns out this way because everything else looks very promising. Please prove me wrong Monolith!

So what do people think of the graphcs tech-wise? Looks great, but is it beyond PS360 territory? I'm not sure.
Plus this looks way too much like Xenoblade 2 and I thougght it was supposed to be a new IP?

What's even more exciting about this is Monolithsoft has probably been working on this game for 3 years or more since Xenoblade came out in June 2010 in Japan. That seems weird to me since I didn't play it until last year but for the sake of this next game it's great news.

This. Love Xenoblade (so far), but wouldn't want to be forced to play with others.
Looks amazing. As long as you don't lose anything by playing single player only and can 100% the game without playing multiplayer, day f-ing 1!
That would be awesome. While I'd never touch online multiplayer, I'd love local co-op in a game like this.

This E3 will be insane. If Sony shows Uncharted 4, MS shows Halo and Nintendo shows a new 3D Mario..........I will die.

As in "Heathcliff"
I'm definitely hyped for this game, but what about picture of ufo crashed. I don't see anything with that in the game yet.
Oh, I just realized it doesn't... well, all indications do point it to being apart of the same series though.
Hopefully we get more details around E3.

Thats what I'm curious about.
What picture is that?
Wasn't it over a town? This doesn't show any towns.
