So, I finally got the game today, after an entire extra day of waiting. 
Man it's great, I love it to bits. It's definitely a huge improvement over the already stellar EO1.
There's so much to do it's almost overwhelming, with all the photo requests, the main storyline to follow, curing sick fish, finding treasure, upgrading your equipment, sidequests, land-based areas to explore, character to customize. It's clear that Arika put an insane amount of effort into the game.
Also, I love the music, and the graphics are really really good. But of course we already knew that. 
I like the fact that your character gains experience over time, so that you'll be able to dive longer and deeper the more experience you get. As well as all the upgradeable stuff, from the pulsar to oxygen tanks and that salvage bag. I truly like it, gives you a lot of incentive to keep exploring and trying to get as much as you can.
Does anyone know if the 2nd bit of info, or trivia as it's called in-game, is available for all creatures? 'Cos I managed to unlock it for quite a few fish, most of them with a little feeding or petting, but the majority of them doesn't seem to have it. Or maybe I need to do more.
