I'm rendering in the looped regions in Sony Vegas then converting them through this site http://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-webm
Then I'll download the conversion and upload it to pomf.

You just missed it.
Treehouse footage

Also during E3 every big online game site did a video play thru the demo themselves and uploaded the footage with commentary
Regardless of whether or not Xenoblade ties into XCX, it's absolutely required you play it!

Buuuut I don't have time! Too many large games to complete this spring!
Odds are most or all of them aren't as good as xenoblade chronicles.

CONS:
- As stated, the voices are atrocious. I can only hope that somehow the Localization teams do a good job. But I'll miss the British VA's from Xenoblade
Edit: wait i understood that wrong.
Anyway i like what i see, The British cast of the original game was unique but odd at the same time, I liked it personally, but alot of people switched the VA to JP so eh.
I remembered those. But it's not something they have highlighted since then. I suppose they could do another direct or video where they'll showcase it more. But for now they've not really emphasized it much in their previews.
Fact.

? Xenoblade was localized by Nintendo of Europe with British voice actors.
Take a path like this
Zelda MM -> Bloodborn ->XCX(if you have jap wiiu) -> witcher 3->splatoon->..

"we're the remnant of a doomed planet, with a limited population and limited resources. Possibly also limited real estate in which the world is hospitable. What should we do?"

my god it looks gorgeous, online without damaging the SP content too.
It will be sad when the game ends with a horrible death.

Maybe, i can see them doing something non Xenoblade related next, or a support for awhile.
Isn't Kyoto already pretty much a support team?
Not to mention their marketing budget was probably blown on making this YouTube video...
Hyperbole, but still.
Xenosaga and Xenoblade were mostly transparent with who the villains were. Didn't really have any bearing on whether they were good villains or not.
The city doesn't look as good as the other environments, but I like how spacious it is and being modeled after LA. Seems like a fun city.
Vocal tracks didn't sound too bad IMO. The tracks that played in the last trailer and the second trailer were very good too.

Yes, but..something different, more safe, maybe helping other teams for a time, or getting lower budget,who knows though.
But one thing i like about Nintendo is that they treat their niche games with the same care as main franchises, no, not advertising, i mean overall budget and production values. they know these games are quality even if not as popular or appealing as the usual stuff

MonolithSoft Kyoto never was anything other than a support studio. Those are the guys helping out with Zelda, Animal Crossing and other things.
It wont bomb, the wiiu has a pretty good attach rate for first party game ad the is pretty hype
It all looks amazing! 
My only two worries:
-Still no confirmation on controlling characters other than MC?
-Only one town/city? They might just not be showing us the others I guess.
I wonder if the game will have more than the 5 continents. Slight Xenoblade spoilers:

Like in Xenoblade when you think you've seen everything and they make you explore Mechonis O_O.

People are mini Zohars.
Hopefully a hint at a Xenosaga REmake...wishful thinking.

Well there could be some British people, not like there aren't any British people in the US.
They confirmed that in the Famitsu interview.
I think that they are still not showing those, The Nopon most probably have their village and there are ruins or buildings in the North area.
But really.

? There was combat footage in the November trailer. And the next livestream will cover combat AGAIN.
I really think you're making this all up in your head. They haven't shied away from showing combat one bit.

Might look a bit jank but I can live with it. I'm glad they're doing more stuff with platforming like this.
Nothing janky looking there.

Don't do this to me man.
I don't think I can handle anymore references between these games in the series

Is it just me or is the guy wall-running in one instance?

I was thinking the exact same thing.
Poor wording, maybe. It's the jumping when not on a platform. Makes me think of the super jump from the Donkey Kong Country series.

In the video you can see some parts in which the player controls Elma, while the MC follows.
So long as it does as well as other Wii U titles it'll be considered a success by nintendo I would think. Its never gonna do Mario Kart numbers but if it can get similar numbers to thier other first paty games on the platform, then we'll see xenoblade again.

Not janky at all. If there is one thing I hate it is a weak jump mechanic where it is more of a small hop than a leap. Glad to see that is not the case here. The game looks fun as hell.

it's pretty funny how a psp game (type 0) has better faces than XCX. WHY OH WHY???
They are probably intentionally 'cheating' a bit here, because they don't want players hung up on unnecessarily precise - and ultimately frustrating - platform elements when they're really trying to explore. But yes, it looks way too blatant there.
It's the same case with the swiming, covering ridiculous distances that don't seem proportional to the animation or the laws of physics. How tedious it would be to explore vast bodies of water at more realistic speeds. Sometimes you have to suspend 'realism' for the sake of a better play experience. Jumping crazy high/far, and falling from ridiculous heights without dying all fit in there for that very purpose too.

It's the art style monolith has been using since the ps2 days with xenosaga. Why is this suddenly a huge thing now? Or has this been a complaint for the last decade with new xeno games and I'm just of of the loop?

wow, i want a gravity related story excuse for this.Might look a bit jank but I can live with it. I'm glad they're doing more stuff with platforming like this.
