sometimes you just gotta wonder if ppl even read up information beofre posting.

camera: if you just look at the last live letter you gonna notice that the char doesnt turn with the camera, so its most likely optionale, and sometimes even no bad thing when you play keyboard only. situational that is.

animations: no doubt they gonna get fixed until final release.... this is alpha stage ppl...

lively NPC's : and this got confirmed by yoshi already that they are working on a more lively NPC behaviour.

i can say for me: im pretty much excited and overall love the changes. gogo Yoshi!
