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.

I do have to disagree with you pretty staunchly on the first trailer.  Not because of my feelings, but because it actually had the furthest reach of any trailer the franchise has had, currently with over 2 million views.   Regardless of what we think individually, the first trailer had a good impact.  The second trailer was weaker, I'll give you that.

But this whole "dime-a-dozen JRPG" narratuve has had me scratching my head for ages.  I've looked at trailers for a ton of JRPGs and if the first trailer was what the average one looked like, I would be more into the genre :P

The first trailer I think was inflated due to being part of the big Switch reveal which was probably the highest profile Nintendo event ever in terms of online exposure.

XB2's trailers so far look to me like they could've been from pretty much any run-of-the-mill JRPG from the past 5 years or so. Aside from the awesome music, nothing really makes it stand out.
