I might have to get me some of that.
I can't decide if I want the keyblade or the frog mod more...
I enjoyed the game a lot more the second time around, when I wasn't playing in first person, but that was still at a level where I probably wouldn't play it if it was F2P. I enjoyed it more, but I really hated it the first time. Definitely wouldn't play for a sub and purchase fee.
It's sad, because I DO see some really solid aspects. That skill system (while not perfect), was sexy as hell. I'd love to see more of that stuff in other games. But I don't think it'll work if you're setting things up to be a PVP game.
If I was making a MMO, I'd take a similar skill system, and then make two additional PVP-specific trees. I'm honestly just sort of done with integrated systems that ruin PVE fun for PVP balance purposes.
But I just didn't like the controls, and nothing about the gameplay was grabbing me. The story was more interesting than I expected it to be, but I didn't expect much.
I remember, WAY back when we were still earlier in the Skyrim thread, before ESO was announced, that the common opinion was that an ES MMO would only be okay if they could replicate the ES experience in an MMO format, and just shouldn't be attempted if they weren't committed to that. I definitely still hold to that, and I don't think they went into the design with that mission.
