That specific example from the DLC is described as "narrative" GUI (maybe to add atmosphere and detail to a scene?), not necessarily the GUI that the player actually uses - Shepard never interacted with the fleet display in Omega, even though it looked awesome.
Still, it sounds like Mr Bellefeuille is working on player user interface, which is great - I really did like the detail in those Omega scenes. Like you said, it might indicate that they're moving forward a little bit, at least in terms of designing stuff.
(Speaking of Omega, I hope there was a lot of feedback collected from that :/)

Omega had some good elements, too, so I hope at least some of that feedback was positive

I wonder how the next Mass Effect would incorporate Open world gameplay mechanics. Hopefully, it would enable more ways to approach combat.
They could always put a X / Elite space exploration game in with some procedurally generated space ports in for most worlds and bigger city's for the normal 4-5 hub type worlds.
That would certainly make the universe bigger in a manageable way.
Also putting in a real city, even cutting out space altogether. Something larger (A LOT!) than the few floors with a long corridor and odd room coming off it that mas effect has had for the hubs so far would be great. Look at the citadel it was vast and we got to see a few floors the odd room and a looping corridor for the presidium. it was tiny made to sound big by the dialogue. ( more worlds/levels v larger detailed hub problem)

Damn it this is looking very good. Can see a teaser incoming at the end of the year, E3 2014 first reveal and release in 2015. Totally sold.

This is quick. And, from what I am reading, I am getting the warm fuzzies. Must not succumb and get my hopes up too much! Cautious optimism. Yes. That is the way to go. Calm, collected. Rational.
I may need to step out of the office for a bit to bounce around. That high-pitched sound you hear if you listen reaaaaly closely? That is me squeeing like a 16 year-old who just spotted a shirtless Robert Pattison.

See, now I don't find it unreasonable to think that they'll have a reveal trailer at the VGAs.

I hope so. After three games it would be a nice change to have a character with a full background. (it worked for Witcher, I see no reason why it shouldn't work with Mass Effect).

In fact, it might even work better since Bioware seems obessesed with autodialogue. <_<

I think they meant "main character" as "the protagonist" - the one you, the player, will get to control. It does not automatically mean you will not get to choose a race; the term is abstract, referring to a customizable individual within the game who will serve as the avatar to the player.
Although, fully aware that the opinion could quite possibly put me in the minority here, I am not all that sold on the "any species" approach to the new main character. First off, playing as a human increases (or, in most cases, ensures) player immersion, it allows for a more detailed character arc/development and, most importantly, keeps the costs down, seeing as you only need two actors - one for the male and one for the female version. And I will take solid character building over player choice any day.

I wouldn't count on much publicity before next year at least. The focus will probably be on DAI until then.

He said "New #MassEffect story and main character reviews today."
Note the plural on "Reviews" as it should be. That doesn't mean we will get to pick the players species, but it doesn't mean there was only a single character review as you implied either.

Think that's just referring to the review for the story and the review for the character. So, reviews, plural.

I agree. They did a review on the story and the main character. If there was a hint of "main characters" it should be plural itself such as "main characters" and review should be singular. If we assume his twitter posts to be grammatically correct that is.
