I'll never understand why people lose their shit over this game or over anything SE in general. It's obvious they care far more about cut scenes than any actual game.
The times of the traditional RPG that tells the story through detailed cut scenes is pretty much over. We're at a point now where games let you actually do the fantastical things they do in the cut scenes but can't do in the actual game but SE just stubbornly refuses to move on. Instead they announce a game with a CG trailer and then sit on it for five years.
