Alpha First Look: Video 2 - Gridania

[Mjollnir]

I thought the exact same thing, especially when he was around the area with the children playing.

Me too, compounded by the fact that I paused my iTunes that was playing Howard Shore's score of LotR to start this video lol

No inertia in the characters movements.
The character turning when the camera is panned is incomplete.
Lack of movement animations when character accelerates/decelerates.

Other than that, looks beautiful and addictive, can't wait for panty shots gallore

Follow-up of my previous post

I felt bad to not add comments on other aspects of the video. Just wanted to add that the water looks much better than the current one. And I'm also intrigued by that transportation dock at the water side. I don't remember there being ships in Gridania XD. Or will that become the new airship docking, like in ffxi? In any case I can't wait

Cons (that might still be worked on, it's alpha after all)

Like some people mentioned, I'm also slightly bothered by non-existant turning animation. Hopefully the development team are working on at least putting something that won't cause animation lock. This includes with or without weapon drawn out.

Im just telling the truth. It really look like old Gridania. Smal changes yes, but in the end nothing but same old Gridania. Thats fine with me because i like Gridania as it is now^^

sorry to be a bit rude here but what you saying is totally not true.... the changes are quiet massive.

The cat's adorable when she jumps, but she would fall on her face landing like that...

Otherwise, it looks fantastic. =)

To be fair, the lack of inertial animations hasn't really bothered me thus far (I didn't even notice in previous videos until someone pointed it out, ) but I cringed every time she landed and just slid forward without falling over...

as you explore.

My Explorer's Spirit is on fire after seeing the Reborn Gridania! I can recognize so many places of the current one, but they feel, well... reborn! I'm so /psyched to visit it now!

Continue to focus on the little details, too: they're always a nice touch during exploration and some of us notice them.

Cringe is the right word. That's one feature I've hated in other games. Hated with every ounce of my being.

Otherwise though, it's -

Very nice!

I don't see any problem with the jumping, but the cat's tail looks like a limp rag... not like a living animate tail. I always thought cat's tails had a mind of their own. They move as though they are alive and sensing the world. Cats often seem surprised by their own tails and will pounce on them as though they saw a mouse. Tails have expression. They curl and twist. Thery do not hang limply.

I would like to see more fauna and more magic. How about a cool tree house with stairs winding up the trunk?
