It sounds too online focused for me. If its like 9 I'll get it but if it goes more into the MMORPG territory I'm out.
I was afraid of this too but from what I read, the game could be played completely solo with ai partners just like in 9. To me, this looks like they took the huge world of 8 and added the features of 9. I think that is the perfect combo.
Here is a single pic that I found on Andriasang....

let's hope we see something MUCH MUCH better on Wii U when they reveal that.
Even the Wii is much more capable that that screen shot is letting on.
That looks like a DS game.
From the gameplay videos they showed during the conference, the world looks massive. At times, some of the locations seem to put Xenoblade to shame with how vast they seem. This could be why some of the graphics are taking a hit.
I got to find this damn trailer though, the cell shaded cg was really nice and I would hope thats what they would aim for on WiiU.
