lol im trying to eat xD
The main difference is that the early trailers were all on the planet's surface. And this one was primarily in space(ships). I feel the latest trailer is more like setting the story premise. It doesn't mean the other parts are gone. Xenoblade also had parts in high-tech environments, and others in dirty caves. So i'm not sure graphics are downgraded, just that the spacey environments look less impressive than the planet surface.
I'm more concerned with those laughable character designs. And i'm talking about artstyle, and not about IQ.

this definitely feels like some kind of reimagining of the xenoverse. being forced to abandon earth and search for a new home, "a vessel with which to meet our lord has come to me"...all of this fits the old mythology rather nicely. i think the details will obviously differ with maybe some of the xenoblade worldview mixed in.
All of this is really intriguing for an old xeno-fanboy like me....
I dont want to look at them too much because they are nightmare inducing, bottom of the barrel tier and the new faces are way better (which i said is expected), but i still cant call the new faces good. They just really stuck out to me during the trailer, that was the first thing i noticed.

...What the fuck is wrong with people?
It's a huge open world RPG with customisable characters. Of course the character models were never going to look as good as some of the other current-gen stuff we're seeing. Allocation of resources. We can have super detailed character models with hair follicles and pores, or we can have a huge super detailed open fantasy world. With dinosaurs. And mechs. And judging by this trailer, an awesomely over the top JRPG story.
I'm more hyped than ever after this trailer, just because it's confirmed that it is a proper sequel to Xenoblade.
X STILL GON GIVE IT TO YA!!!!!

those faces do look a little... yeah. Long as they're good characters you'll probably grow into them, not unlike FE:A where you forget that these people don't have knees.
It only gets bad when they make creepy faces, then pull a bland storyline and emo characters ala SO4 where you start feeling like you want to punch every one of them in the face.

How are they laughable?

Yup can't wait! (Fully customizable MC possibly being too blank-slate since we know nothing yet is my only unsureness, everything else is shaping up great)
Also, when all of it combines with how good the mechs look and the huge scale world like Xenoblade, the characters, plus all the sci-fi displays and stuff animate it's going to look great all together.
Same here dermannmitdemcolt, always ready for more Xeno

I love Pokken!
This makes Dark Souls characters look like the best thing ever

I really enjoyed the first Xenoblade... Might have to get a Wii U someday to play this. It looks awesome!
I just got done watching the trailer. It looks like it might be more interesting than Xenoblade, but I still can't bring myself to get excited about it. No matter how much the story may seem more interesting than Xenoblade, there's still the fact that the game is going to have the same horrible battle system.
I am looking forward to the Sawano soundtrack and Tanaka art, though. If the game gets an artbook, I'll probably import it.
That hasn't been confirmed anywhere. The fact that they're talking about Earth in the game is a pretty good indication that the game ISN'T a direct sequel to it.

Great catch. I definitely agree.
Not CG man.
Agree with the rest, this looks great.
Turn that D: upside
. It's going to be great, and you'll forget about the faces soon after you start playing.dermannmitdemcolt

lol, because the battle system was such a highlight in past takahashi games...some people...

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
yeah, I was looking at it through my phone and it looked incredible to me, am I missing something
What an odd post
You call other people fanboys (of what? downgrades?) yet you yourself bring in your negative ( and uninformed) opinion about a competing console's flagship game which has absolutely no relevance to the topic at hand
I'm looking forward to reading more posts from you
The battle systems in Xenogears and Xenosaga Episode I were MUCH better than that MMO wannabe shit in Xenoblade. Xenoblade had the worst battle system I've played in a long time.
oh deary me. dude. I'm just gonna explain it to you.
Reyn's face is replaced with a texture of my face. Sharla's face is replaced with a texture of Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer.
That is NOT how Xenoblade actually looks.

...you mean "and then all the people were zombies, please enjoy these 8 boss fights and text walls?"
It's far from "MMO wanabe shit", and a breath of fresh air from the barrage of tired, boring, mindless turned-based battle systems (and this goes for any game that doesn't feature said combat type - RoF, Final Fantasy XII, Demon/Dark Souls, Ys, and so forth) that the JRPG genre is constantly afflicted with.

Yikes. I see this and become wary of that Zelda trailer. Going to be very surprised (happy) if the final game looks as good.

Still can't get over the title. Whats wrong with Xenoblade II?

Uhm, and? None of those monolith is shaped like the zohar. The little "wings" are missing for example.
I wouldn't call it MMO wannabe shit cause I'm not even sure what's that supposed to mean and I came to enjoy the battle system
but it does play exactly like an MMORPG.

My eyes are pretty bad but the visuals I saw and remember (I still have the exact moment in my head) appeared more polished, more shiny, more vibrant. Now the first thing I thought was "Why the look grey?".
Edit: So jealous that WiiU players will get to play it.

If that ends up being the case I would certainly be all for it
Xenogears & 'Saga (and 'Blade of course!) hold a special place in my gaming heart.We don't know yet
I gotta ask though, how come you haven't yet played Xenoblade if this is so interesting to you?
Xenoblade's ending is a reset
a fresh start, to explore new worlds
and yes, play xenoblade. now. it's a reasonable price still here in the UK.

The story will be amazing obviously coming with the Xeno name. Those graphics look ps2 era though i mean WTF 
literally looks like Xenosaga episode 1 in spots. a game that came in 2003
literally looks like Xenosaga episode 1 in spots. a game that came in 2003Yes, at this moment, I'm quite peeved. See, that sorta happens when half the posts in the thread is throw-away garbage.
But in the trailer,
they talk about having to abandon Earth. There is no Earth in the Xenoblade universe, anymore. Earth didn't exist in the new universe that Zanza created.

Looking awesome.
I don't get the "downgrade" people are talking about.
As far as I know this is the first time they have focused on in game models during cutscenes. Specially their faces
For all we know the gameplay still looks as good as the original reveal.
The original Xenoblade didn't have great looking models/faces either but the actual locations and combat looked awesome (considering the hardware)
