And more importantly, what do you guys think the intentions were for them?
were? why do people think these things have been thrown out? my guess is that Tanaka is still on the team and whatever plans he had for the game are probably just sitting on the back burner while they get this game sorted out. Simple really. Majority of things they had developed the game around wont suddenly be dropped, some are probably really good ideas too, just wait and see imo. Those videos look pretty cool, the first "coerthas dungeon" looks like a beastmen stronghold to me and the "island" is probably nothing and was meant to be nothing.
