I wasn't nearly as smitten with the game as TheAbominatrix this weekend, it really could use some work. The battle system is not merely similar to FFX, it is FFX. The EXP system is similar to that in FFX-2, EXP for Hit Points / Ability Points, and Skill Points to learn new abilities. The skill system is clunky, and you learn from several trees at once, limiting where your skill points go.
The turn-based system is very slow at this point, and a Tales of Symphonia-like system, or even something more along the lines of ATB would be very welcome. Story sequences were well done, on the other hand, as with most EA games. Everyone there this weekend agreed that the in-game scenes needed to be tweaked quite a bit, though.
And the most minor gripe ever, the Executive Producer mentioned there would be no progressive scan. Why on RotK and not TTA?
