New Lets Play...I think I'm actually excited about this game again due to it...and my god, that character creation...

Oh God, the Character Customization...
Oh God, the Main Pawn Customization!!

I think I'm liking the pawn system. Sure they're not Key Story characters, but the fact you can customize your eternal partner is beyond awesome. I'll either go with a cool beauty magic knight, or a total bro fighter for my guy.

The good thing is, your main pawn levels with you...meaning you don't have to replace it, while you will most likely replace the other 2, since they stay the level that you get them at...it sounds like a pretty nice system

The combat also looks awesome, but I couldn't expect any less from the people that made DMC...still one of my favorite games when it comes to raw gameplay

16 minutes in and....wow....this looks AMAZING

I really want this game T_T

The Strider class looks pretty awesome. I can't wait to see how the Assassin class plays out. But do you think the Assassin will lose all use of the bow?

[Darcnova]

Probably, seeing as Advanced classes aren't "Class Advances"...Assassins probably focus more on the melee side of things

And yeah vamp, I want it as well, though right now, I want ToGf more

Actually, I found the answer. I think. Seeing as the image of the Assassin shows it with a quiver.

And there are Job Advances.
Fighters -> Warrior
Strider -> Ranger
Mage -> Sorcerer

And for those who don't know, you can mix up the classes if you like.
Strider + Fighter = Assassin
Fighter + Mage = Mystic Knight
Mage + Strider = Magic Archer
Frankly, I loving how the classes are.

Nice to see your skepticism on the Pawn System is gone.

Yeah, it was gone with the Lets Play video that I posted...my customization woes went away with that one too...I'll be supporting Capcom twice this year

By the looks of it, exploration is encouraged, and you can interact with the environment.
Seeing that rooftop explorations, I pray that there'll be griffins attacking towns.

I love when exploration is encouraged...I try to explore even on games that don't encourage it
