Nice to hear the quests have co-op after all.
I think this could also reinforce the game having a heavy narrative focus like Xenoblade since if there wasn't a large story emphasis they could probably put in co-op for the whole game instead of just quests.

Looks completely separate from the main story mode.

Wii U was designed for 720p content, all the "graphically intensive" games do it, it shouldn't come as a surprise unless the game was 1080p like Smash.
Online mode is great and seems to not interfere with the Single Player main game.
YEEEES. I HOPE THIS MEANS I CAN FIGHT WITH MY FRIENDS (and for my friends)
oh god this, Persona 5, Splatoon, Bloodborne hold me gaf.

Most likely,
Mech obstacle courses, Maybe Easter Egg kind of Hunting thing, Superbosses
holy crap I thought the online co-op quest dreams were dashed, I read thru some of the direct thread and didnt even see this mentioned
The game is gonna be even better, I hope you can do side quest from the main game in the co-op and it effects it so that you dont have to worry about doing it again.
Xenoblade chronicles had so many this will help ease it down

I'm going to keep my hopes in check until they show us how these modes work
4 vs big monster sounds too good to be true if it is like MonHun it might sell some copies in Japan
Item trading has me the most excited

Sounds good.
Maybe I'll actually add some of you guys if we end up doing a thread for this.

yes, god yes, your the first person to point this out but I ran out of room on my friend's list a while ago, you know how many people wanted to add me for smash?
I guess I almost nailed the online gameplay

Well, I wasn't expecting actual online quests, so I'm pleasantly surprised. As for the indirect online aspects, I got just what I expected, and even stuff I hoped for.

The actual hypothetical of fighting a huge unique monster with friends in a planned out strategy brings me to near orgasm for some reason.
Your concern is touching. Especially considering in the other thread you said you had no interest in this game anyway.
I don't think there is a more eloquent summation of the OP than this.
Treehouse or 8-4 or whoever... whatever you're localizing... stop and just work on Xenoblade X.

You want them to stop localizing Zelda?
8-4 just finished MH4U and they're 99% sure to reprise their role on Fire Emblem If, too. Treehouse is already going full-steam ahead on XenobladeX. No reason to worry.
Don't feed the troll. He's wasting everyone's time in any and all Wii U threads with this vocal disinterest.

I wonder if there will be any form of communication. I remember seeing a chatbox in one section of the original trailer but it hasn't been seen since then.
Apparently the game supports usb keyboards, so chat communication is basically confirmed.
TheMoon

You should've read the first page at least. USB keyboard for chat is confirmed already.
For the other recent talk the game's had about BLADE members and the whole union selection thing, this loose connection stuff sounds like a neat step in the right direction. This way people in certain unions can still focus on the particular tasks that they want to without necessarily losing out on the rewards of others. Goes a nice way into the feeling that you're working with a much larger group.

Cool, I just read the OP and a few posts down. I need to pick up another USB keyboard.
4-player mech combat?
This
I wonder how the 32-player indirect multiplayer will work. Like a live lobby of NLA where people can walk around, shop, see eachothers houses or whatever. I also want to see the depth of options for playing together in 4-player though, like whether or not you have the chance to play with a friend for hours or if you keep getting kicked out, match up again, do a new quest, repeat. I hope the next big video touches on the multiplayer because I'm really interested in the idea of exploring Mira with others, even if I'm not usually much of a multiplayer gamer.

YIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Whelp, I need to buy a WiiU for my wife to play with me.
So basically two Wii U's in the same house and separate TV's? More power to you man. It would be cool if they could have a Hyrule Warrior's type mode where one player can game on the Gamepad and do Co-Op with the player on the TV too.
I will make friend amongs a lot of GAFers I guess, like it did with MK8.
I can't not think about how awesome a battle involving 4 mechs on a single giant monster would be!
I'll be your friend

What about the bug or plant hunt? Can't forget about those quests
Hopefully they group you with only people in your level bracket so you can do pretty much any quest you are currently on together with friends or random people.
TheMoon

this makes me think that you can customize your mech and maybe haven an apartment that you cab decorate and show others, also i hope some new exclusive areas for multiplayer like maybe some moon quest
Mech customization is a safe bet considering we've already seen differently colored models with different transformation types, different weapon loadouts and different model designations. And there is a whole Union dedicated to mech R&D quests.
Also: for me, every quest is a moon quest.

This is Nintendo, so I highly doubt it. It's a surprise that it can support USB keyboards.
You don't even do it with subtlety anymore. Can we ban you off and get drinky crow posting more? That guy does it right.
