Realm Reborn = downgrade?

The problem is, you are complaining about something that (by the developers own admission) is not ready, that the developers didn't think should be seen yet because of that. What help is whining about something you don't even know is an actual problem? Until alpha comes out, we have no clue what to bitch about and what to praise. You are jumping to conclusions, and quite frankly there is no way in hell that this could possibly be helpful to SE.

Now, when alpha starts (you know, the point in which the developers are actually looking for input) that is when you should start voicing displeasure should such things not be implemented. But the demo in that presentation is not indicative of what will be final. They made that point very clear.

I personally don't have a problem with speculation. That's fine, and had you been "I seriously hope this isn't what will be the final product," I would support that. Instead, you are freaking out over an incomplete demo, and acting like this is what we are getting.

Asking for people to wait until alpha isn't a cop out response, it's common sense.

The problem is, you are complaining

We come to an age where complaining and concern are the same thing

To be honest, both sides are jumping to conclusions. Alpha footage defenders are assuming (without knowing) that the animations will simply be added in later or that it's too early to tell, while Alpha footage questioners are assuming (without knowing) that they are missing for a reason, and that through previous Alpha footage that the animations get done first. We have no problem admitting that we simply don't know. The issue isn't that we are trying to convince everyone that the Alpha footage will be what we will get. We are simply concerned that the animation and graphics appear to be near completion. Yoshi-P has stated that the graphics are more than 80% done and that the rest is just tweaking the textures, filtering, and lighting.

We are simply raising the question, "Is this what our characters will move like? And if so, why? Because we loved the way it was."

P.S. Nobody is freaking out. People are just very adamant on their positions here. I said it before and I'll say it again, this isn't a gamebreaker for anyone in this thread. There hasn't been even one response from anybody stating that this will make or break the game.
