Both
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
They should do it, hell, they should even do another print run of Wii versions, people are striving to find a copy and it's value already is really high. It would sell like hot bread.

Sorry I came in late, is the E3 trailer cut scenes pre rendered or using the ingame engine?
Scared of it turning into an mmo?

Scared of it turning into Nintendo's own online "wait what" moment actually!~
Single-player story mode with local + online multiplayer would be super neat but I don't know!

Surely that red X has to mean something. Please let it mean something.

I don't spill any beans the officials have yet to reveal. Or do you guys want to get me in trouble?

Damn, Monolith considers these teasers? I can't wait for 'em to bust out the actual trailers, then! D:
if they release something similar to that 20 minutes Xenoblade exploration video my pants would have to be ironclad to stop my erection

Almost 2 minute videos are "teasers"? Can't wait for the actual trailer than lol.

This is a nice opportunity to quote myself. 
Also, I'm surprised that she seems to speak pretty good English. Didn't expect that somehow.

Oh, the irony.

True, we know very little about this game and we haven't even saw the MC face!

That was just a "teaser"? :O Oh my... Can't contain my excitement. I'm so greedy - I want to see moreeeeee. ;_; I want to see a few story cutscenes as well.
Never said that I'm a master of the language either.
And I don't pretend to. I'm not a native speaker of the language and I know that my English abilities are pretty rough.bobbychalkers

A silent beast.

I was just kidding, man. It was a simple typo. Relax.
Haha!

Shit, I guess I've had a total misconception of what teasers are. I was under the impression that they were much shorter, and more importantly, more vague (like Bayonetta 2's).
I hope there'll be more stuff to tide me over between now and the, er, big reveal. I mean, I'm suffering from hype convulsions here; there's no way I'll able to survive media droughts for this game.

They are kinda following the same format Xenoblade had when it was revealed. Its trailer from E3 09 (back when it was just called Monado: Beginning of the World) it was just in game footage of Shulk running on fields and some battles with only a pinch of story related bits. The first real trailer came out a bit later after a name change. That was revealed along with Last Story a couple years ago.

^This. But I'll settle for anything else that is reasonable.
I'm guessing the trailers will come after the name is revealed and the website goes up. It'd be similar to the numbered series of trailers we got before Xenoblade came out in Japan that shows the story.

I like these "teasers." They excite my imagination like the early Zelda TP "teasers" did before they started showing real trailers of a more complete game that were a lot more story filled.
Does the combat system no longer qualify as a game mechanic?
Awful? You might not like Xenoblade's combat system, and it might have its flaws, but it's not so flawed to the point where calling it awful would be an accurate descriptive. :/

They'll be teasers until we get the final reveal trailer with the actual name of the game on it.
Can't wait!

Did you read both of those sentences as if they were separate posts? Not trying to be mean, it's just kinda weird how you quoted that.
Anyway, I meant that it doesn't really demonstrate or show off any mechanics, we just interpret the battle palette to be Xenoblade's because it's familiar (and, realistically it probably will be like Xenoblade's).
Considering that Xenoblade is a 100 hour game, I think I'm allowed to call the battle system awful. It becomes extremely routine.
After more than 100 hours, every system in every game ever becomes routine (even monster hunter).
At THAT point, you should maybe change your characters. There is a reason why they every one of them pretty unique.
//off-topic
from what we saw, we can expect the mech battles to play entirely different from the on foot battles.
I did, because they're two distinct statements, and it wouldn't have mattered if they were in one or two separate posts.
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're trying to say here. You said that they called what they showed teasers because they didn't show off any mechanics. That is false, plain and simple. They showed off the combat system and how the Dolls work.
No. The length of the game and the frequency of the use of the battle system have nothing to do with its actual quality. Any battle system- no, gameplay mechanic is bound to feel tedious and repetitive at some point in a game as lengthy as Xenoblade. In fact, I can't think of a single RPG, western or eastern, that didn't become tiring by its final act.
Let me rephrase that that. It gets routine extremely quickly. Fighting one enemy is the exact same as fighting another. I find it ridiculous when people say "well, maybe you should change characters". Not only is that a big assumption (I played with all characters), but can I really call it a good battle system when I have to go out of my way in order to make it interesting? For the record, I beat that game twice, over 200 total hours put in.
Did they? Did they show off the vision system? Is that still in? How about spike damage, is that still in? Did they do anything new with it? What are the character's tension arts? What are all the features of mechs? They're available for transportation and combat. How do they differ from the characters in combat? Do they suffer from the same status effects? Tell me what they showed off.
Anyway, this is a thread about an X trailer. If you don't mind, I'd rather let the rest of you guys have your fun with that than continue to argue about a different game.

Those are not the kind of mechanics you would show in a trailer...
Then how this "teaser" differ from a trailer? I'm trying to figure out the meaning of that statement.
Oh, I originally thought that orange stuff was a beard of some sort or teeth. But it's actually lava dripping from the monster's mouth. Nice.
I don't know what that thing is, but I want to know.
A bunch of people basically asked why there wasn't any story elements in the trailers, and this was her answer.
Safe to say she only meant that we had only seen a fraction of what the game was about.

Yeah, that is certainly the #1 complaint. And it's pretty much the only one so far. That walking animation at the beginning of the trailer is pretty jerky. But honestly it doesn't much bother me when it gets into real gameplay.

Yeah, that's probably the one major smudge with the teasers so far. Still, they already improved the grassy plains from the first teaser and the game probably won't be out for at least a year, so there's a decent chance they'll fix up the animations a bit by then.
That has more to do with your personal dissonance with the combat system, as opposed to it being objectively bad. I could say that I loved it for the the entire two thousand hours+ I've clocked so far, and we wouldn't really be getting anywhere, now would we? Tolerance will vary from individual to individual, but in terms of concept, depth, and execution, Xenoblade has an excellent combat system.
No. They didn't go in depth. But we got a clear look at it in its basic form. Whether it was in detail or not is a separate matter.
Could someone point out the "jerkyness" in these two gifs or the actual footage? I guess I don't have the eye for this kinda stuff...
I think a lot of people are just comparing it to FF15's amazing animation. But I made a gif that illustrates it a bit better.
Edit:
I think it could be a much smoother.

I see it here, but the other two instances of him walking seem perfectly fine to me.
