This feels like it is a literal mix between Fantasy Life and Final Fantasy Explorers, but infinitely cooler than those two imo. When I first heard of a new Action-Adventure-RPG IP to be announced yesterday, I didn't know what to expect at all so Nintendo definitely caught me by surprise. However I had wondered what the character models would look like - would they take the path of the chibi-styled design like so many others have on the 3DS, or stay true to the realistic aspect of classic J-RPG characters? (Kingdom Hearts, Tales of the Abyss)
I am normally more fond of the latter, but upon seeing the OE trailer for the first time, I immediately loved its style, so once again Nintendo has won my heart. I am looking forward to it having a release date.
The boss battle in the Treehouse segment was impressive. The only thing I would consider flawed is the allies' AI.
The dungeon looked decent, but I'm hoping there will be much more beautiful/impressive places in the game for us to deem worthy of future Smash Bros. stage potential. (Yep, I want this IP to join the Smash lore so much, I have a crush on it)
