I'm looking forward to this game. I think we need more RPG games in a "normal" city setting. As long as outside the story missions they have some good side objectives I think it will be fun as you stated. And if the car options are good hopefully they have garages you can store and customize them.
Looks like scarlet nexus, spiderman, persona and gta mixed. I want to play it just for the artstyle alone I like how bright and vibrant everything looks. You mentioned character switching but i'm pretty sure in the footage they switched character at like 4:15.
homeboy said the fantasy theme's been here since Skyrim Here I am, remembering when I was 5 in the early 90s playing Dragon Warrior Holy shit I'm old lmaooooo
2:07 ppl are shitting on games like that because all of those chinese games just copy/paste stuff already done by creative ppl. Not inspired but truly copy to the T. The only thing after is to prove they can do other stuff THEMSELVES. The swinging animations are so indentical it's funny (in a sad way). For Genshin, they didn't really added/have done new gameplay stuff outside of minigames. But the game as a whole is working and eveyrthing is well polished. And the most important thing ? It's super *FUN*. That's why ppl (myself included) like playing it.
