When someone said "Xenoblade with mechs", I couldn't help but think of Titanfall: "Call of Duty with mechs".

I'm not worried about the UI, it's been at least a little different in each video we've seen so far. Especially this one, it's almost entirely different compared to the old trailers. Clearly they're still refining it so whatever we get at release will be more polished.
Plus, like I said on the first page, I'm not even confident it's a 2014 release, so they could still have a year+ left to get it perfect.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I'm happy with the reveal; however, I do feel that the UI needs a tad of adjustments. Furthermore, I would of been much more content with a trailer compared to a long sequence of gameplay. Nevertheless, I'm excited for the game and hopefully by E3, we will get some closure.
In Xenoblade, a lot of attacks were positional. So if you hit someone from the back with a certain attack, it would do a lot more damage. Or if you hit them from the side, it would inflict a status ailment. That kind of thing.
hopefully they will give you the option to view it on the gamepad instead, like monster hunter.
I rewatched it and looked at them. And then there's the close up of what I assume is the main character in the first trailer.
Their environmental designs are pretty amazing. Their character designs are weak though.

Why name some random NPCs "Player 2-4"?

That makes me a little nervous. Hopefully Miyamoto if far away from this game. I really hope this has a meaty single player game even if it's a PSO style game.

Take THAT Borderlands!
Edit: actually I'm a sucker for those numbers popping up showing damage. But they seemed kinda big in this game. Soon were going to have so many numbers popping up you won't see the enemy lol

Looks good, they should go ahead and call it Xenoblade II though. 
Who are they fooling.
The battle cries are a bit much, but I dealt with them in Xenoblade and got over them, so no worries.

Given all the previous footage of the game being what they are, I'd say a cinematic or story trailer is exactly what X needed right now. My hype is honestly deflated for this game at the moment. If it's gonna be another game with focus on off-line mmo combat a la Xenoblade (or even FFXII) but with minimal shounen plot, then I'm out.

I mean, excited might be a strong word, but the combat looks promising.
Seamlessness of transferring in and out of the mech was great. Haven't figured out why you'd want to get out of the mech though, but I'm sure they'll balance it/justify it somehow.

People are excited/hyped because it is a sequel to Xenoblade - one of the best JRPGs last gen (if not THE best). Well, Xenoblade was my Game of the Gen, anyways. And this looks to be more of the same type of combat (except more refined and added elements).

You would think they would put that stuff on the gamepad leaving the screen clear like the trailer. That was a big thing many people said the gamepad could help devs in the rpg genre.

Looks like for that shot that has a lot to do with camera angle.
It may very well be an option, but I can't imagine why you'd want that for any useful UI information. I think it's reasonably fair to say that if you put UI elements on the gamepad they won't be visible to a player looking at the television.

Xenoblade's combat with mechs and guns, which is exactly what I had hoped for. Can't wait!

Yeah, gonna have to say I have no problem with the HUD at all. And I like the huge numbers. Sometimes it's okay for a video game to really obviously be a video game. It all disappears except for the minimap the second the battle ends anyway, you'll still get your sprawling panoramic vistas with minimal intrusion.
The UI is less intrusive than Xenoblade's.
Not saying it couldn't be improved, but it should've been expected that it would be similar at least.
The only part of the UI that I feel looks bad is the exceptionally large QTE button and the fact that it doesn't fill the screen. It acts like it's respecting the safe zone older TVs or something.
Oh, and the hilariously bad English.
But this isn't a sequel to the Last Story :^)

At least Xenoblade's was clean.

Weak is a strong word to use considering we've not had any substantial time with what the world is like and what their manner of dress is. I'm not a fan of characters looking flashy just to stand out: I'd rather have designs consistent with the world, much like the original Xenoblade.
All the weird complaints are just showing far to many in this thread and claimed to be interested in X didn't bother to play Xenoblade Chronicles. That game is the reason why people were interested in this new game. From the first trailer it was clear what battle system was being used and what combat would be like. All this new footage did was make that clearer and showed off new elements that weren't doable in Xenoblade. I don't understand the complaints at all. Did people not know what X was going to be when they decided to look forward to it?
It looking like or reminding of Xenoblade is not a negative. That game was amazing!

Anyone else notice the controlled character's mech lost it's left arm in that battle?
Yup! Just noticed that as well! Could mean that mechs are pretty fragile and that using them all the time would destroy them.
I didn't play Xenoblade, so I can't comment on how it actually plays, but that looked boring as fuck.
The mecha controls seem awesome, but the battle, holy crap.
And it was my most anticipated game.
I still plan on playing Xenoblade soon though, so hopefully that changes my mind.

Maybe they aren't ready to reveal character names yet? We haven't even seen a story trailer for the game yet, so they might still be changing stuff like that. But the way the characters move is clearly not human.
Have you played Xenoblade?
You want that shit on screen at all times during battles. NO exceptions.
If you have to play an earlier unconnected game to understand the appeal, it may be an issue with the game not being clear. Nothing wrong with that if that is what they want, but posts like this are a bit stupid.
It's a succesor to a great game. There are few JRPG's with the same scope and exploration. Gorgeous environments with a day and night cycle. The story was pretty engaging, till the last portion of the game at least. The setting is pretty cool, it takes place on 2 giants. Music is great as well.
I wasn't fond of the combat though.

You know the game isn't exactly close to release right?
It's not difficult to understand -- many people loved Xenoblade and its combat system, and this is its direct successor.
Only the look has changed. The UI is still basically Xenoblade, right down to the timed presses of B to fill the party meter and the "WARNING" bar at the bottom.
Everything about this game from the moment it was revealed says that it's, at the very least, a spiritual successor to Xenoblade. A game that many people have called the best JRPG in the last 8 years.
I disagree that it was very dynamic, fun, or good
. As I said, I found it to be tedious and redolent of the worst aspects of the most common type of "Hotbar" MMO combat. It was average at best. But to each their own, the game more than made up for it in other areas and this one likely will as well.Stone Ocean

That battle system looked pretty boring. It'll all depend on how it'll branch out, I guess.
Also I'm not even playing the game and those QTEs are already putting me off. Doesn't help that it gives you a AWESOME prompt if you hit them right.
