Looks like it was true! The combat looks a lot like Xenoblade's but much more hectic and with giant robots (I must say I find them unappealing). Also, it seems like they were playing with other people because the characters' names said "Player 2", "Player 3" and so. I hope it's not totally multiplayer.

United States? =O
I generally liked what I saw. It's a refinement of the Xenoblade combat, again with an emphasis on positioning and the timed button press of the previous game when executing special attacks. I like the concept of just freely jumping into a mech when the changing situation may become a bit too hairy, no doubt advantageous if say, a giant enemy's weakness is its head rather than its balls for example.
But, I am sort of concerned still about the Player 1/Player 2/Player 3/Player 4 thing. I am hoping there is still a story, narrative and characters, because otherwise I'm not fully comfortable with the thought of sacrificing that for co-op and multiplayer focus.
That showing didn't fully satisfy me either. I was really hoping for the mech to just take off from the cliffside and just casually fly around in the sunset after the fight to really highlight the scope and grandeur of this one enormous area. That would have got me exceedingly giddy.

Probably just not ready to reveal it. We still haven't received a proper trailer yet. Soraya Saga said that everything we've seen so far are teasers.
I would assume that if the game still has a 2014 release, then we'll get a proper trailer at E3. That's when we'll probably learn about the real name of the game, story, characters and other additional details.

I am really excited for this game,even more after seeing the gameplay footage in Nintendo Direct,I love Xenoblade and I wish they will create a successfull jrpg series that will become a huge name in the RPG world
Also I hope that Xenoblade will encourage more jrpg developers to develop big jrpg titles,maybe with the help of Nintendo

Except it's not because when SquareEnix revealed Versus/XV for the first time at E3 2006, it was barely in development and what you saw was concept footage. They had no gameplay or anything built yet. They were just showing you an idea they had.
Monolith Soft's new title has been in development for several years now and they've been showing us gameplay since the first teaser. It took SquareEnix over 4 years to finally show us gameplay.
Unlike SE, they waited.

Small update. The game is still scheduled for a 2014 release in all regions.

It's not bullshit. It comes straight from Nintendo's Financial Results Briefing. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2014/140508e.pdf
As it says in fine print though, dates are subject to change.
However, keep in mind that Monolith Soft's new title has been in development for a while. Xenoblade Chronicles did come out June 10, 2010 in Japan after all. It has at least a good 3+ years under its belt.
