I'm on board with ya. The biggest thing that is putting me off, is that the animations look...well...clunky. There is a lot of skips, jittering, etc. Now I don't know if it's because of the vid cap, or old gameplay without some animated cleanups (although I would hope so before releasing some pr vids) but I hope the animations are a bit more smooth than what I've been seeing. Otherwise, I'm interested.[QUOTE="ispeakfact"][QUOTE="ironcreed"]
It's been my most anticipated game for awhile now.
- Beautiful open world with day/night cycle. Night is actually dark as well, and if you don't have oil for your lantern, you can hardly see and danger is everywhere.
- Exploration and side quests
- Fantastic Monster design, with epic Monster Hunter type battles
- Focus on combat from people who can back it up, such as Hideaki Itsuno.
- Deep customization and great gear
- The Pawn system, which is a natural progression of the messaging system in the Souls series. Instead of messages, you create a Pawn that others can use, rate and even send back with gifts (loot). They then impart tips and/or advice like a message in the souls series would, only they are there to fight with you. They are just as customizable as your character is as well.
- Classes that are very distinct, such as being able climb enemies like in Shadow of the Colossus with a Strider... even on enemies that take flight. You can mix, match and change classes at any time as well for a fee. By doing so, you eventually can become a a hybrid class, like Mystic Knight (fighter and sorcerer) and Assassin (fighter and strider).
It has all sorts of neat little touches that I could elaborate on, but suffice it to say that it is a very ambitious game from Capcom. Still not expecting it to be huge outside of Japan, though. But I know it hits all the right notes for me.

I hear you, but the animations on some of the giant creatures is great. Combat animations are kind of spotty sometimes, but there are some truly badass attacks and amazing looking spells for Sorcery. Especially when you factor in things like great cloth physics. As an example, I especially like how 'Maelstrom' looks:
