New Xeno(?)series game

The only reason people are entertaining the idea of multiplayer is because of that thing in one screen that kind of looks like a chatbox and the player 1/2/3 in a couple screens. The former doesnt mean much because none of us can even read it and the latter could just be them hiding the character's names unless you think there's really a character named Tester.

There's absolutely nothing shown on the gameplay side of things that implies this will be multiplayer or any different from the first Xenoblade in that regard.

I wonder how far in the development cycle this game is considering they've got the assets to release a trailer like this.

And does anyone know what it actually says in the 'chatbox'? Like, if it's actually people typing or if it's just NPC chatter spam?

Also, that music is already blowing me away.

I think it's probably still pretty early in development since there's still very little shown— only one area, no named characters, not even a title...

Don't they sometimes only decide on titles of the games after finishing the script or possibly even the game? I dunno, just speculating. It seems plausible that some people might do that, but I might also be making crap up with my powers of 'lack of game design experience'.

I'll move this edit to my new post.

Edit: glancing at the 'chatbox', with my piss-poor high school Japanese knowledge, it seems like a bunch of rubbish. Even without using a translator, I can read most of it.

Line 1: Yoroshiku~ (Nice to meet you)
Line 2: Kochira koso ~ yoso (Uh... I think this is a reply greeting)
Line 3: Konban wa (Good evening)
Line 4: (cant even read it because it has kanji) (I just know the first two words is 'today')
Line 5: Dekai! (Huge!)
Line 6: Oo~ (I assume this is just an exclamation)
Line 7: Nani nani? (What?)
Line 8: Yoshi! and I can barely make out the second part as yaruso or yaruzo or yaroso or yarozo. I dunno, now I'm not sure (I assume this means 'Alright! Let's go' or something. I have no idea what that second phrase means)

Someone who spent more than 3 years in high school learning Japanese (kind of) and didn't forget 90% of the stuff they learnt might give a better insight.

Maybe it's just coincidence, or maybe Takahashi is just majorly trolling the fan base here, but I can't get over that red X at the end considering Xenogears 15th Anniversary is next month.

Seeing how FFVxiii seems like vapowear this looks interesting.

Monado: Beginning of the World also stayed TBA on the release schedule for years and that was the last we heard of it until NoA finally caved.
