The
only thing I'm missing from 1.0 are the character movement animations. The battle and spell casting animations (and effects) are amazing, but the simple running/leaning/stopping/turning animations have been scrapped making it a little cheap-feeling. I hope they can come to some sort of compromise, because 1.0 animations were pretty amazing.
Also if I am back from traveling for phase 4, I'll post a lot more screenshots. However, I think everyone gets invited to that!
