I'm far less optimistic about the game than I once was. The more people hyped the game up, the more worried I got about how hard it would fail to meet their expectations and thus be considered the Worst Game Ever. I think SE have perhaps done themselves a favour by not talking about the game much, because the hype was way too high and it definitely needed to chill.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll inevitably buy the game, and will treat it with the same enthusiasm I will give Lightning Returns... basically "let's see if this is enjoyable..."
