as for this game being in its early stages, keep in mind Beta starts in 2 months. what we are seeing now is no doubt whats to come, aside from any polishing of underlying mechanics SE is touting the game with a "ready to go" attitude.
I thought the last screens/game play we saw was when the dev team said "I did not even want to show this, this is far from a finished product" I've never seen them say the game is nearly done and its all in very final stages. I keep reading how they have to optimize it and such unless I am misunderstanding >.<;

If the game is seriously going to look like the last trailer then I am sad. Lol ._. We haven't even seen female Rogadyn in the game yet
