Spiritual sequel.
Basically, Earth is the battlegrounds for two alien races. Humanity escapes in giant arks.
The arks crash land on a new world. Humans try to conquer and rebuild this land.
There's another race that already lives there that doesn't like this.
The main character is your own character, which is custom made. He/She is mute, but the supporting characters carry the story.

The bolded; is that the case? What I'd gathered was that one of the alien species that participated in the war that destroyed Earth actively chased down the American ark-ship, causing it to crash-land on the planet that it did. Presumably, it is a member of that alien species that is talking about eliminating a "cancer" in the Digital Event trailer.
Granted, I suppose it's entirely possible that this is coincidentally the home planet of one of those two alien races, or that there's a third alien race entering the picture here, but the trailer/Treehouse streams didn't give me that impression.
I dunno, I do have a lot of questions about the whole scenario - things like, who were the two alien species? Did they choose a populated planet like Earth for the site of their battle for a reason? If not, why should either species care about the evacuee ships enough to actively attack them? Was the other species trying to defend humanity, and if so, will they show up later in the game, showing remorse for the loss of the old planet? Did any ark-ships other than the one holding NLA make it off Earth before it shattered?
I'm wondering if the dialog in the intro sheds light on any of this, but expecting most of the answers won't come until the game is in my hands. Admittedly the plot premise is a bit of a turn-off for me (I don't like plots where the Earth is explicitly destroyed, and have passed up experiences I'd probably have otherwise enjoyed over such plot events; I understand that virtually nobody else gets caught up on things like that, but I can't really help that I do), but I think my appreciation for the first Xenoblade (which I should really finish one of these days, only up to

I'm also wondering why they chose to show the Shulk lookalike in the debut trailer since he doesn't appear to be the main character this time around. Could he be the Contact/Abel/Kim/Lacan/Fei?

I apologize, I missed this, but has it already been confirmed about the nature of this game? By nature I mean is it a fully-fledged single-player RPG? only with online component in it?
There is no online whatsoever which has actually been announced or confirmed so far. It's definitely there, but they haven't talked about it. What they have shown is that it is a single player story RPG like Xenoblade with cutscenes and characters, yes.
thanks
had to look who that person up.
this is his first video game he is composing?
pretty amazing
Yup this is his first game composition but he's done lots of popular animes.

Sawano is really good. He likes to get too bombastic, but if he can keep that urge at bay for any length of time the soundtrack will be incredible.

Oh?
Wonder what's up with the whole chatting text thingie back when they first revealed X then.
Could be something they were planning that got cut.
Or maybe they're waiting until later to fully reveal it.
Thanks for posting this. Is it just me or did the game just suddenly go through a 200% increase in awesomeness after switching to a female player character? It just seems more unique.
EDIT: Video is down, go here - http://www.twitch.tv/nintendo/b/537795858 - skip to 4 hours in.
Wow, I really had no idea there was so much Sawano hate. I don't follow his music so I don't know what his other work is like, but just hearing the music big reveal scenes in the Treehouse gameplay (and trying to block out the droning voices that is unnecessarily describing exactly what we're seeing before we see it), I can't imagine there's anything to complain about. Freaking wow moments when the vocals kick in as we pan across the waterfall... And the beautiful build up as we're going down the hallway to Neo LA. This is world class stuff.
YES!

The factsheet has TBD for players, so yeah...
Could be a good indication for some sort of online.
I'm really interested to learn everything about this game.
likewise. Love Sawano's music, especially the vocal tracks and OST of Unicorn.
I don't know if it'll match Xenoblade, but from what i hear, it'll definitely be an excellent one, hopefully.
Shimomura alone would have been perfect in my opinion, easily my favorite video game composer. The rest of the music was nice too but damn, just listen to these

Holy shit.
So yeah, not very excited about Sawano but I guess we'll see

There were dynamic music changes, but if you need to hear it without the talking there's always this demo.
Personally, I like it. I think it fits the setting very well.
At least this confirms that there will be plenty of party chatter.
here's your chance:

If you got ~40 minutes to spare you should watch it.
finally somebody picked the best song (next to most
Mechonis field themes
I'm not very keen on Sawano either, I didn't like the song from the 1st trailer very much, but I kinda enjoyed the one from last years E3 trailer... Maybe because the visuals where just that good.
I'll take Sawano over Shimomura any day. Of course, I'd rather have Mitsuda back. Hopefully he does the ending song again.

He may not be the best with battle themes... but by god can he do brilliant main/ending themes!!!
If he does do a vocal song for this game, I hope whoever sings it doesn't mumble all the way through the song. I couldn't understand most of Beyond the Sky without looking at the lyrics.
Funnily, the opposite happened for me: after seeing the character creation and how fleshed out it was, I was more hyped and ready to say farewell to whoever was going to be this game's Shulk

Before E3 I thought that we would have a main quest like Xenoblade and the option of building a character for a multiplayer mode. I still want to play it, but I'm not so desperate like I was before.

Yeah, that's the character designer for Xenogears / Saga alright - I loved his artwork for Xenogears especially (was a bit more "meh" for Xenosaga 1), and it'll be interesting to see what character designs he comes up with this time around.
I know this is far off in the future, but I really hope they release another sort of artbook / maybe even something like a Perfect Works for this game.

At least the default male voice is Shulks VA.
As long as the game has specific events/romance or the like I'll be fine with a silent protagonist. Especially if we can have the same kind of interactions with NPC's as Shulk had with other characters.
Oh, and I love how similar that girl with Monado hair clips looks to Kelvena.
Ah, well, I've gone along with the speculation in this thread that there's a main story, but that story's biggest moments could actually be told through the characters other than the player-created character. Like, if the player-created character is a standard soldier, it's sort of like the player is tagging along on an epic journey, which appeals to me in a different but not better or worse way than having a more dominant main character that pervades the story with his or her significance. But maybe there's a bigger significance to the player-created character that could be discovered later on, like in Knights of the Old Republic.
Tanaka's art was fine for Episode I. The team just didn't translate it very well, since they had never worked with 3D before.

I hope we have a selection of voices for the MC
Rihanna with that voice in the Treehouse demo was jarring as fuck.

It could be something like White Knight Chronicles, in that you create your own character but there are other main characters who drive the plot and do important stuff.
I assume that your character will do some of that "important stuff" throughout the game as well as the other characters.
I'm guessing that they are keeping the slot-able gems in some form. Best thing in Xenoblade was outfitting 7th with maxed out haste and double attack. Constant stream of attacks and numbers on the screen. I'm hoping they let us customize things to that extent.
I remember seeing "Space Rihanna" in the twitch chat.
