Graphics looking good on this game. The wild world is starting to feel a little more natural. But...WTH is there a bald eagle in the game? Reminds me of Avatar, TLA. You have all these odd ball animals and then the only animal that's foreign is the "bear".

The imps look like 'Night of the Living Dead'. I wouldn't go near those guys. They are the true embodiment of creatures that would eat you alive like trolls.

Aye, the Imps (or Goblins) look rad, specially because they are similar to the ones used in early FFs. In fact, I believe their design is almost identical to the goblins on the first Final Fantasy, which is pretty great in my opinion, makes them look terrifying for a change.

Those goblins were pretty sweet looking, rendering at at distance when they were doing close ups looked odd but whatever.

Kinda made me want to play some monster hunter though. lol

Red-tailed hawk noise for a bald eagle?

C'mon, you were doing so well. Ugh /biologist pet peeve



...but really, the bald eagle DOES look really out of place in a fantasy universe. You guys couldn't spiff it up or anything? Add some horns? Cool plumage?
There is plenty of neat-colored or oddball raptors in real life, and you could base something off of them if anything.... (like the batleur eagle, ornate hawk-eagle, caracaras...etc)

But really this overall looks really cool and I'm looking forward to playing it. It probably says something that I am nitpicking a game's birds.

While we're wondering about this we forget that this is a fantasy that has folks driving around in limos sipping on the finest while big a$$ monsters are running around. Imagine if we had that in our world. Driving around and you got WTF roaming around in the distance. But what is a game without Behemoths and did anyone see the Caith Sith beasts?

I checked out some more gameplay on their YT page and those goblins are creepy scary. You just don't want to be alone in the dark with those guys running around... They're gonna GETCHA!!!
