When I look at the screenshots I often think to myself: "hmmm, doesn't look *that* good actually. The fighting looks really stale. Lots of jagged edges everywhere, monsters don't impress me at all and it all comes across a tad amateuristic even"

But when I view the trailer and see the game in action I think to myself: "Yeah, that DOES look kinda cool. The game sure looks better in movement then in a screenshot."
I must admit, even the fighting scenes pleasantly surprised me! The scene where a big monster (sort of a Knight I guess) slashes his BIG sword at you really looks better then I expected. And the character voices from your party are equally good.

So I'm wondering, did anyone else have the same experience?
Weird aye, after all these years of gaming I'm still surprised how much difference it can make if I look at a screenshot or actual moving footage

Screenshots freeze a moment in time in gameplay, and most screenshot programs do not allow for anti-aliasing as a full motion clip will, so you're going to get it all in full pixellated glory. *ewwww*!!

From all I've seen, the game is going to be a triumph. I'm definitely looking forward to it!
