...I do kind of wish they'd show a little more actual gameplay. As in, battling, quests, enemies, dungeons, any dungeon puzzles?, chocobo combat/breeding, Housing (Even just the GC stuff since I heard they said individual housing wont be available at launch?), etc...

I love the scenery, don't get me wrong...but do you think just showing off the scenery to potential new players is going to draw them in? People will simply be thinking that this is nothing more than a repeat of it's first launch if all they see is a character walking around the town.

Or are the features I'm looking for going to come with beta? I'm possibly just jumping the gun here. I understand alpha tests are mostly just stress tests...and that Squareenix wants to have plenty of surprises but still...do you think they're being a bit too secretive with gameplay?
