You know ... I actually AGREE & DISAGREE with the OP.

I do agree that they shouldn't have shown the battle system YET. Being that this is alpha and an unfinished game, first impressions are lasting. However, they HAVE to show something, so if this is all they had left to show then I understand.

Everything SE shows of ARR needs to be polished to perfection and it needs to be exciting. ARR is climbing an uphill battle so mediocre videos won't cut it this time around.

PS. I still enjoy seeing ANYTHING ARR related lol.
