Textbook example of a "glutton for punishment."
Nah. I have a white 3DS XL, Picross e1+2 and I got Xenoblade earlier than the US. NOE also gave me a free copy of DKCR 3D last week simply because I brought luigis mansion and two other games. NOE are in beast mode right now.
However, we are getting shafted on VC releases with 50hz bullshit. So its not all good.

That music 0_0 gimme that ost now!
This is by far my most hyped game. The only thing that looks weird is they didn't name the damn game. How they wanna us to hype a game without name? And the other strange thing is they avoid to show the main character's faces. They are hiding something here. And no, this isn't a MMO.
It's obvious for me that is a single player with co-op. Monolith even haven't the amount of network developers to do something like that!(They were hiring a few network guys late 2012 but not the amount necessary to do a MMO).

The only game I would get a wiiu for. I just hope it's not all mechs, I really dislike those things.
Just the trailer is the only thing there as far as we know. I believe the only 2014 games playable are Mario Kart 8 & Bayonetta 2 (Sakurai seems to have played a demo of Smash Bros for the press but that's not on the show floor).

Every time I watch this I go 'Well, this is cool...this is cool...fuck it's an HD town!' and then I change my pants.

Thanks for reminding me how badly the bar was lowered this gen.
I'm going to guess Japan Q4 2014 and the ROTW Q4 2015 at the earliest- maybe 2016 if it helps shore up their release schedule. I don't know if there's any reason to be optimistic given that Pikmin was supposed to be a launch title.
How funny would it be if, after about a decade of people clamoring for FFVII to be remade (and seven years after the PS3 tech demo), it's Xenogears that ultimately gets the HD treatment? (I can't see this being a Xenogears reboot, though. Much more likely to be some millennia-after-Xenoblade sequel.)
Yeah, it's really the only reason I'll be getting one. Worth it, considering how many hundreds of hours I've put into Takahashi's previous games.

Why haven't they got a community for x on miiverse! Could be like the smash one with pics of the day.
What if it's both?

Considering it's like one of the only JRPG's coming for console. It's a breed of games slowly disappearing from the big budget realm.
Sure. Why the hell not? Sounds good to me.
richisawesome, could you possibly edit your posts on the last page to spoiler tag the spoilers to the ending of Xenoblade? Especially in a thread like this, where people may just now be picking up the game or hearing about it.
And I have probably watched this trailer 30 times by now.
The hanger does give me those Yggdrasil vibes. The gears/dolls/mechs are certainly more Xenogears-esque than Xenoblade. Other than that, there isn't a lot to conclude yet. Really hoping for an engrossing story like Takahashi always delivers.

Maybe some people don't know this trailer which was released ealier this year : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GxUMMGyZcM&feature=player_embedded
Same. It's basically a 300-and-something dollar game, far as I'm concerned. And will probably be totally worth it.

I am really hyped for this, I didn't really like Xenoblade but this looks amazing ^_^
Can't wait to see more as time goes by, Nintendo wouldn't have shown all of this stuff if the Wii U was doing amazing in sales.

I'm excited almost as much at the prospect that we still might get Xenoblade HD. Please, Nintendo, give us the goods. Make it download only, even, if you must.

the music was whatever.
I was just waiting for that voice to sing "LET'S FIGHTING LOVE!"
Every time I see this thread on the first page, I click on it hoping Nintendo might has decided to release new details. Nope, still absolutely nothing. The silence on this game drives me crazy, it's not even mentioned in the press kit. Meanwhile it's the only game shown in the Direct whos page on Nintendo's E3 page is just ... blank. :|
I guess Nintendo just doesn't want to talk about it yet (annoyingly enough, conisdering that they are happy to talk about every other 2014 title), but with Xenoblade's odyssey in mind, it's hard not to get the feeling that NoA is again not really interested in the title.
It's definitely not Xenoblade 2, if it was they would have probably just said so. Otherwise I fail to understand why they would want to make the game seem mysterious. But I can very well imagine that it'll share more obvious ties to Xenoblade than Takahashi's past works had to each other -- quite simply because he has the rights to openly refer to his past game this time around. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the stranded nation started their journey to space on Bionis/Mechonis and background stuff like that.
Yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised either if it turns out to be something Xenogears related. It would be kind of random to go back to that franchise at this point, but it sure would make for an interesting story.
I don't think it's likely and while the red X probably is just there to make clear that this is the next "Xeno-something" game, a very similar red X was also the most striking part of Xenogears' logo, so... never say never. As long as SE can stil sell the original game digitally, I can see the company selling the name rights to Nintendo, for a pittance even.

The game is featured on the Nintendo E3 page, so hopefully the lack of conversation about it from NoA and NoE is just from the fact that it doesn't have an official title yet, making it more difficult to market appropriately.
Has anyone done a comparison video of the first trailer and the new one to see there as been a change in visuals, UI, etc?

Any guess as to when we'll see more of this game? I know, I know - I'm greedy... we just saw some. But still!
I want the next trailer to show:
1) more battles
2) story cutscenes (this will relieve my mind a bit)
3) the cast of characters
4) the name of the game
5) release date or at least the season it's gonna release next year

Damn, this thread needs more attention. What a wonderful atmosphere displayed by this game and one of the most exciting games at this E3, if not the most exciting. I want to explore this huge world. Is a hires trailer downloadable from anywhere?
Oh, and have to check out that Guilty Crown game because contrary to some posters I really liked the song.

If you own a Wii U, go on the eShop. They have all the E3 trailers in the best quality I could find. X particularly looked amazing on there.

Fuck anyone who says Wii U is current gen, it just shat on the PS3/360 and looks more comparable to an Xbone game.
