On a side note, its baffling to still see people making the mistake of thinking that Monolithsoft is not a first party studio(Usually thinking they are second party).Reading things like "the frequent Nintendo collaborator" on famous news sites like IGN is headscratching.

I can't count the number of times I've had to point this out on forums, that Monolith Soft is a first party studio since 2007. A lot people seem to (mistakenly) think that only EAD counts as first party.

The concept art looks interesting. And I guess this means Xenoblade development ist going smoothly? Some people said the game would be pushed back to 2018.

Well to be fair, given how short the gap since XCX was, the fact that most big Nintendo projects over the last few years have been delayed, and how unfinished it looked at E3, there was ample reason to suspect a delay might be on the cards.

I do believe he meant *is* going smoothly.  Not isn't.  Just going by the fact his statement makes no logical sense the other way round.  Seriously, if you are having dev problems with one project, the solution is not to start *another* project to divide your resources :P
And I would hardly say the game looked very unfinished at E3.  World seemed well detailed, it was running smooth, nearly all gameply features seemed implemented, voice acting was implemented.  The only unfinished looking bits seem to be graphical settings which they seem to be tinkering with.  We'll see in probably the next few days.
