I think we'll just get a fall/holiday confirmation. Nintendo can always announce a more specific release date in a future Direct video when it can more easily gauge the debugging and localization's progress for such a large title. I don't expect to see a playable E3 English demo, but maybe a trailer instead. I mean, Nintendo needs to get this game out this year overseas, so taking time away from its localization and debugging could pose a problem. Perhaps we'll see the Treehouse just do another live stream of the Japanese version with translated text. The last playable build we saw them do earlier this month was still of the Japanese version, and they have about 51 days left until E3, but obviously less to prepare something for E3.

Also, now that more importers have it, can you make a look a like Shulk? Want to see that.
They removed the Wiimote + Nunchuk controls? Guess I'm not buying this, then. The Wiimote + Nunchuk control setup is the only one that lets you move your character and navigate the combat menu at the same time, which is pretty vital as the effectiveness of your skill attacks relies on your position relative to the enemy. I'll only buy the game if they patch them back in.

Does this game suffer due to having a silent protagonist?
Actually the gravity is almost the same as Earth's, 0.94G, weirdly enough ...
About all those questions, be sure there is a very good reason for all of them

Ehhh if you read the Iwata Asks, you will know how much the Treehouse will suffer if they are completely faithful to everything...

IWATA: "Takahashi-san, tell us the 'Riki potato' story you told me at the water cooler the other day."
TAKAHASHI: "Water cooler? We work in separate buildings."
IWATA: "Shush, Takahashi-san." (laughs nervously)
TAKAHASHI: "Do you even have a water cooler here? Do you even drink water? Come to think of it, I've never seen you eat or drink, or use the facilities." 1
1 Takahashi is insinuating Iwata is an android. 2
2 Androids are synthetic constructs meant to resemble humans.
IWATA: (nervous laughter intensifies)
TAKAHASHI: "At any rate, during the development of the original Xenoblade Chronicles, for Wii, I found myself lusting over the character Riki."
IWATA: "Riki?! The Nopon?! How strangely erotic."
TAKAHASHI: "Wait, I don't mean it in a DeviantArt sort of way. 3 I mean I hungered for Riki. I wanted to eat him!"
3 DeviantArt is a collection of crudely-drawn Sonic fan art
IWATA: "Eat Riki?! What would he taste like?!"
TAKAHASHI: "His ovular shape makes me think he might taste like potatoes."
IWATA: "Aonuma-san and I were discussing this the other day. He thinks Riki would taste more like a mango."
TAKAHASHI: "I don't very much care for mangos. At any rate, the concept of Riki tasting like potatoes was intriguing to me. Unfortunately, as this revelation occurred to me as the first Xenoblade was about finished, we were unable to properly express this concept in the narrative of the game."
IWATA: "I see. Every game has a schedule, and sometimes the conclusion of a game's development means that certain concepts such as potato-tasting characters go unexpressed."
TAKAHASHI: "Exactly. I felt like an abandoned lover, reaching out helplessly from the platform as the train carrying my soulmate disappeared down the bend."
IWATA: "That feeling, the feeling of one's lover disappearing from sight as their train leaves the station, is a rough feeling indeed."
TAKAHASHI: "That's right. So I knew I would need to create another game to express the concept of Riki as a potato. That led to the character of Tatsu, and was the starting point of Xenoblade Chronicles X."
IWATA: "Incredible!" (laughs)
TAKAHASHI: "I hope players look forward to meeting this potato-like Nopon. I will shed tears of joy if I hear them saying how much they wanted to eat him."
TAKAHASHI: "Water cooler? We work in separate buildings."
IWATA: "Shush, Takahashi-san." (laughs nervously)

I also hope you can get a Monado replica in the game, be it for your Doll or character as a weapon. That would be awesome.
Did you reach the point where you can change the looks/voice of the MC? I don't like the one that I chose (the jumping yell is terrible), but I don't want to reroll just for that.30 hours into the game.
