Game looks pretty, but the areas still seem small or zoned. The combat doesn't seem anymore advanced than WoW, just a lot more animations.

In the movie's info, there's a reference to "No grinding" in an article on Destructoid but no link. I'm assuming they mean this:

But it doesn't specifically say there will be no grinding, only that your character's development depends heavily on the story line they pick.

I think people get worked up by the hype and HOPE the game won't be what they hated in the last game, but it rarely happens. They'll be grinding and cheesy, repeatable combat.
