Looks flashy (Witcher 3 combat, FF 13 X2/X3 visuals, elements of Shadow of Mordor, other action brawlers) but totally uninterested in action games so may be the first one outside of the MMO's I give a miss. The world looks totally empty compared to Witcher 3 with few inhabitants and sidequests and whats a FF game without a proper party?
I think late in development theyve recognised their mistake with this messy 3 slot action time dodge and easy mode combo accessory system implementation.

Na. That accessory system is the same that is implemented in Nier Automata. The idea is that as these action rpgs can be brutal if you can’t dodge is to make the game playable for those of us who suck at dodging.

Though in Nier Automata the auto chips (which can only be used in Easy difficulty) were added in response to feedback from the demo and on top of the existing chip slotting system.

-seems presumptuous to assume the world is empty. We see plenty of enemies to fight, and in the parts where Clive is simply walking or running they probably were selective in picking spots where there weren’t enemies at the moment so that the focus could be on the environments. Also, not sure why you think there won’t be many side quests, the previews have put a decent emphasis on them, heck the fact they’ve made it clear you can revisit any location at any time means side quests will probably be very nicely spread throughout the world
-Jill, Torgal, and Cid don’t constitute a party? I mean, yes I would like to be able to control them and level/customize them as well but regardless it’s nice at least that Clive won’t be alone on his journey as that was a concern when the first two trailers showed only him in combat. Also, Yoshi-P has made it very clear they’re still keeping a ton under wraps, and additional party members could easily be part of that. They didn’t even discuss it, but we do know you will be able to play as Joshua for a part of the game

Do you remember the 2nd Act of the Witcher 3?
Skellige was mostly empty

In Crisis Core we have to deal with a dude who is the embodiement of escapist character while X-2 had only three girls who wear so little clothes that they make 2B from Nier Automata look like a fine lady
