I just realized, we can move the UI stuff to the gamepad and make the screen uncluttered with UI stuff...............

wasn't paying much attention to nintendo but this, THIS has finally got me looking at its direction.
I may just bite on a Wii U for this and to catch up on Xenoblade. Do wii games have the option to play on the gamepad?

I don't think they've been working on this since the moment Xenoblade came out.
A number of their graphic artists, designers, planners, and cutscene staff worked on Skyward Sword as well.

Note. Nintendo is running the MH servers.

Clearly the best use of the GamePad yet. UI-free gameplay.
I could do without those numerical damage indicators, too.
Just give me all of that yummy eye candy. Yum yum yum.

I just realized, with the game looking as good as it does with its clear Xenoblade-scope, isn't that an achievement? Had any PS360 game done this as good looking?

It looked...early. But there seems to be a ton of potential. Let's hope it's single player focused.

Ah, I see. It was probably at least in the planning stages at that point though, wouldn't you say?I don't think they've been working on this since the moment Xenoblade came out.

according to square open world HD jrpgs are not possible on the ps360

The guy at the end kind of looked like Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles to anyone else?
Multiplayer confirmed, basically?
At this stage of development, "Player1-3" could simply be placeholder labels for your party members, but I'm very curious about what the bottom-left window says - and, for that matter, the "System Log" on the bottom-right of one of the other pictures.
That said, this is a massive thread already, so it might already have been covered!
And then people wonder why Nintendo doesn't cobble trailers together instead of saying "we'll show you when it's ready".

It had all those things, it was just badly cut together. The way the music stopped abruptly for the X was quite jarring. It wasn't a slick trailer in any way.
Does it matter if it is beyond PS360 territory? Nobody can really determine that, but regardless it looks amazing.

As in "Heathcliff"
The bottom left window is a chat window.
The system log shown in other screens shows items being picked up.

A lot of things are no longer possible for Square in the HD era.
Like games without Lightning. NEED MORE LIGHTNING. You will want to protect her. Tomb Raider-Final Fantasy crossover incoming.
Oh GAF. GAF GAF GAF.

Wow this looks fabulous. Don't like the characters face that much but we're still talking a 10-fold improvement over Xenoblade. Loving the big environment.

Care to explain?
That didn't affect the appeal of the trailer one damned bit.

I am okay with this Xenoblade sequel, especially if it has multiplayer a la MH or Phantasy Star Online.
Now I need a Wii U, Monolith is becoming the new Square confirmed?

Like forreal. Whats a slick trailer? Is he the trailer police damn.. I dont get it.
It's general chatter you expect in an online rpg generally. Nothing really interesting. People going "good evening~", "over here!", "that's huge!", and so on.

I don't see anything in the visuals that looks beyond the capabilities of a current-gen system.
