    For me, there's 2 parts to my excitement, or lack thereof. It's natural to feel underwhelmed, certainly just by the very short preview it all looks underwhelming. Nothing looks new there from a graphical standpoint so the cool-factor is already low, and usually to sell something some of the best is displayed to garner attention, and that makes me wonder if it's more copy/paste armor.

    You can't really blame some of us for feeling underwhelmed given what was shown. Of course i'll still be here, I'll continue to be optimistic despite having my occasional doubts. If the battle system is adjusted and fun, I can only imagine these dungeons will be pretty damn exciting to play as well, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how everything in this patch will turn out.

    Can easy blame some trolls that continue to say "same dugeons retextured", when it's obviously not true to anyone that has eyes. The environments shown in the areas have no equivalent in the current dungeons.

    And if you feel underwhelmed for two low resolution sneak peek pictures, then it's self-inflicted, as someone already said.

    Well the first one looks like mun tuy cellars, the second one looks rehashed of something else we've seen a few dozen times elsewhere. The enemies in that preview are re-skinned monsters of what little variety already exists in world. I'm not complaining, i'm sharing with you some facts based on what was shown.

    Some of us who are underwhelmed aren't dismissing the entire system. We're just not excited based on what's been shown thus far. Each preview is designed to inform, and sell. It's certainly attempted to inform, but I'm definitely not sold. When you have an empty canvas before you, you have every opportunity to paint the perfect picture. The fact is, what's been revealed is either an indication of rehashed content, or the team in charge of putting together previews are failing to do their jobs. The concept excites me, that preview doesn't.

    don't agree? deal.

    Nope, they do not. Funny that you can't even specify and go with a generic "rehashed of something else", because you don't even know what you're talking about, and you're just trying to spin it negatively.

    You're just kidding yourself if you don't think the one looks like Mun-Tuy/Tam-Tara. We've even seen the locked Gridania dungeons... those look like Mun-Tuy and Tam-Tara too.
