This is a day one purchase regardless of reviews.

As far as what they can improve, I'd say:
1. Rework the online component. It just needs to be easier to connect with your friends. All they need to do is make a party type system rather than making players drop soul signs to get summoned.
2. Less glitches, particularly how you can kill some bosses with cheap tactics (Maneater and the False King come to mind).
3. Improved balance- At first, Demon's Souls seemed very balanced, but, as I played more, some of the problems became pretty glaring, particularly in PvP.
4. Combo variation is always welcome as well. Demon's Souls is fun, but it would be better if there was some more variation in what combos you can use.

With that said, this is still my most anticipated title, and I plan on pumping a lot of hours into the game.

Definitely good points and I do plan on spending loads of hours!

Also, don't shun me for this, but I feel that voice chat in some way may be nice. Maybe like with people on your friends list who have been on your list for more than month or any other variation?

I forgot about that. Voice chat would be a nice addition as well, especially given the difficulty. It would be nice to get some advice from more experienced players  or just strategize without having to resort to sending text messages.
