Good news.  What's the latest on improvements to the game?  I had heard that there will be more character shadows (gasp) in the new release; what does everyone know about how they will tweak gameplay/multiplayer functionality?  I remember seeing an interview where I believe they said they were making further improvements in such areas.

This is a definite purchase for me, either way.

All the changes have been patched into the asian/jp versions so far.  There were a few balance tweaks and bug fixes, but there were two pretty big chagnes: the re-addition of shadows for most character models and a few other objects and a much smoother framerate (thoguh there are still some dips).  My only issue with the changes so far is that the sun is the only light source in the game that seems to cause a shadow. =/

I hope they re-add the nice lens flare effect from the trailers as well.  The game is coming closer and closer to what it was in the trailer, but it's not quite there yet.
