The trailer is good but the Dragons Dogma gameplay videos at E3 have been a bit disappointing and seemed too traditional. Very directed Japanese style while I was hoping for a less directed trend set by Demon's Souls.

What do you mean by "too traditional?". Isn't the gameplay in those videos at E3 like the one shown in this trailer?

This looks too different to normal RPGs to me.

I was actualy hoping it would be more "Japanese"... at least in art style :P

By traditional I mostly mean lots of use of scripts even during action gameplay. Game taking over camera control. Not enough random enconters and freedom, instead the game decides when and what the player will face. Comments during battle seemed cheesy. And the combat was a bit clumsier than it seemed in the trailer.

I liked very much what they're doing with the open fields though, semi open world gameplay, and I have my eyes on this game.

Hmm, I see... I didn't know the game decided when and what you'll face... I think I read somewhere that you could go out and fight random monsters if you liked and only stuff like boss encounters where scripted. The comments during battle didn't seem cheesy to me but that's probably because I'm not a native english speaker... I've heard many people say X game has bad voice acting and asking stuff like "do the Japanese really think that's how we speak?" when I couldn't really tell what was wrong with the acting and sounded just fine to me.

I also have my eyes on this game... but it's so far away from release :S
