Rico is voiced by Elton John-san. McGee is also looking like Elton John, so we'll call him Elton John II, the two eyes meaning "the second." Then we see some ugly guy who must be the heroine of the story, and he is voiced by a Japanese man possessed by Patrick Swayze.
He is followed by some guy who looks suspiciously like the character in the game his is voicing, so I'll say he's Doppleganger 40. Next up is an older guy, and since old guys are always the villain, I believe he to be Snidely Whiplash and is voiced by none other than J. Jonas Jamison, noted due to his newspaper print colored shirt. I used to have an actual newspaper print shirt I wore back in the 80's as a kid since solid colors were outlawed back then in protest of Communism, and I'd get mistaken for Jamison all the time. Thank god Reagan demanded Mr. Spot Head to TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!)
Anyway, then I see this gloomy goth guy, so his name must be Vamp De Cure who is voiced by none other than the Cold Crush Lover from M-Flo. Next up is one of those thin sickly types who's probably weak and effeminate, so he must be Squall and is voiced by some nameless transvestite Sega grabbed off the street. Next up is Ubobo voiced by John Flansburgh, and then we have Nick Lachey voiced by that guy who eats all the hotdogs in Japan yet gains no weight.
Finally, a woman breaks up the sausage fest, and her name is whatever is Japanese for Token. She is voiced by that schoolgirl in Kill Bill who pulled a Tony Romo while fighting against the Bride. Then we see a younger girl whose name probably ends in -chan and is played by someone noticeable less attractive than the preceding voice actress, so her name is of no importance.
Finally, we get to the last character shown, another old guy, but he has a good persona about him but will probably die, so I'll call him CUrly, and he is voiced by none other than John Voigt. That'll show his daughter isn't the only one in the family who can crap on a popular gaming franchise!
We see some characters beginning with White Suit and ending with four people walking all astronaut style into the camera. Some of the people in the brief clips don't have matching voice actors, so it stands to reason they are mute in the game and must be communicated with via Sixaxis semaphore.

I guess the lack of comments makes sense, since it’s hard to get exited about a game that it’s not even close to coming out in other territories.

It won't be gameplay, it'll be a demo reel if it is Jade, but the inclusion of machine guns and putting into a real world setting when the first wasn't on Earth would be a strange desicion.
It would also be a shame if she has lost the camera as that was a nice aspect to the first game. It does have a feel about it akin Mirror's Edge (created by DICE, seporate company.) Which I think would also detract from Jade and her story. Yet this is only a minute clip, it's hardly going to make sense without context.
I am wishing it to be a tech demo for Ubisofts new game engine, that will be used in their games such as Persia, Creed and Splinter. It's been proven that very different games can come from the same engine and it would be much cheaper for Ubisoft to come up with one that would suit it's major sellers and it's long awaited ones, rather than using seporate games engines for all their titles.

What I care about is WILL UBISOFT 100% CONFIRM THAT BG&E IS HAPPENING? Hints from Ancel don't matter! Nor a teaser trailer that was done by a team on their own time...what I want: Confirm it Ubisoft. Give us an actual trailer. You know you want to - give us another Ancel game, and it will be amazing.

It's been announced already. Click the hyperlink in the above post for the original Kotaku story.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been officially acknowledged by Ubisoft for quite some time now...

I call BS on that being in-game footage, but only because I just soiled myself.

well it looks interesting, but it's an ubisoft game so there will be disappointment. And there will be tons of tutorials even during the end game boss.

Ubi messed up by releasing it without any promotion at the same time as Prince Of Persia. But the game itself was - and still is - golden.
As long as they let Ancel do his thing without interfering, we should be alright.
