New Wii-U looks similar to PSO/PSU successor?

Here's gameplay I found when this was brought up before, for anyone interested.

It's kinda irksome that Sega looks like they're doing mech combat better (or at least more visually appealing) than a game where mechs are one of the main mechanics. :/

._. yeap.

this looks like one of the games my brother would like cause he plays every FF series like nothing happened.

I dunno why, but it reminds me of FFXII.

still can't wait till we get A.I.S. mechs on PSO2. *over-hype activated*

Huh? Hell no! This is more akin to Xenoblade Chronicles and is not a action RPG by any means. I don't know why you even compare it to Phantasy Star.

Agreed.
Looks amazing nonetheless.
I don't have a Wii U and I don't plan on ever getting one but I am still hyped, lol.

Looks awesome, but not a fan of its fighting mechanics.

You just described half the market.

I remember seeing this. Wasn't really thinking of PSO at all when I saw it, but I am cautiously optimistic.

The robots' aesthetics are certainly reminiscent of PSO, and there's what appears to be a bit of multiplayer in one clip. Of course, it's pretty clearly an action-ish RPG.

It definitely gives off PSO vibes. The combat looks to be Xenoblade's system.

This is footage from X, right?

Yeah, it's from last year. Nothing new has come up recently.

This is literally slightly updated graphics and gameplay from xenoblade, it's not an action game you auto attack, and then use hotkey'd skills like an MMO But faster paced and surprisingly satisfying and there's actually a lot of strategy behind what skills you use UNLIKE a typical mmo.

Being that similar to xenoblade chronicals I'll be surprised if it's an online game.

Fortunately Xenoblade is fucking awesome. So this game should be fine by default either way.

Just from the topic title, yeah, it looks similar to PSO2 (not so much PSO or PSU) in that the art direction and costume design look reminiscent of PSO2 (at least, the selection at launch) had they dialed back the absurdity a scoach. I have a feeling that's where the similarities end though (never played Xenoblade, so I dunno the combat) Though the more open-world (appearing, anyhow) exploration and transforming mech/vehicle sections would have been a nice addition to PSO2. Hell, it would have been a throwback to classic PS games where you had open worlds and vehicles/vehicle combat.
