At least the return of ACE means its pretty much guaranteed to have a better soundtrack than XCX. (Which had some great tracks, don't get me wrong, but also some pretty bad ones)

That about sums up XCX in general for me; a chaotic mix of the fantastic and the crappy, good overall but wildly uneven.

But at least it did have a wow factor, and it's easily one of the most ambitious games on Wii U. Arguably THE most ambitious game on Wii U. Same can be said for the original. So far this game doesn't appear to be of that same.... thing. It's hard to explain

I think part of the lack of wow could be the setting itself, since it appears to be series of islands/cities/creatures/etc in they sky and as such doesn't have massive continents with sweeping vistas to show off in such a short trailer.  The parts that interest me most are the flying city thing with what looks to be flying creature mounts/transports/etc and the fact that the first landscape seems to be moving like some kind of creature.  What I am hoping to see is that you can freely traverse from one floating landscape/city/etc to another via some sort of flying mount or contraption.
