Yeah Odyssey has been much better handled because both the January and E3 trailers were awesome; the former pushed the "look, an ambitious Mario for the first time since Galaxy and a 64-eque 3D Mario for the first time since 2002" angle while the latter did a great job of showcasing the Capture mechanic.

XB2 by contrast had two weak trailers that failed to capitalize on arguably the biggest draw of the series; mind-blowing worlds. 

I get that they want to focus more on story to show audiences that this won't be another XCX, but the problem is that what they've shown just isn't interesting and makes the game seem like just another generic, dime-a-dozen JRPG.

At least they'll have another shot for the next Nintendo Direct.

And that's all it would take; one really good trailer.

So far they've just done a totally inadequate job of selling this as an amazing true successor to the original Xenoblade, but there's still time to turn things around. And I hope they do; I'm not being negative just for the sake of being negative, I legitimately want this to be amazing, it's just that so far, to paraphrase Shulk, I'm just not Really Feeling It.
