It's... really not great unfortunately

Go to 1:59 and look at the rock appear in the top left of the screen...

It looks like a game that plays very much in the foreground. That doesn't seem to marry well with the promise of big open areas to explore if you can't really see where you're exploring until its right in front of you. Compare to BOTW and Monster Hunter Rise where you can see things at a great distance.

I like the survey concept, and things like throwing berries as a distraction to get an easier catch - it does seem a bit pokemon snap which is great. The pokeball redesign is cool too.

Jubilife still looks very static and underwhelming as a central location. The buildings look too cookie cutter and no one is moving around. It's made worse by NPCs all just standing still outside their respective buildings - even if they were doing different idle animations that would help a lot while still being static, like if the vendors at the shops were doing something not just standing to attention. There's a kid sitting down - that's a bit better! But in the background I also see a guy who is supposed to be a labourer I guess, with a piece of lumber over his shoulder, but he is just stood there. Even if he was just walking back and forth but not going anywhere it would give the illusion of him doing work - like the carpenters in Ocarina of Time.

I like how the battles work in place in the world while still being near-classic Pokemon battles. I also like the look of the noble pokemon gimmick!

As for the game footage not final disclaimer, I imagine this is from a relatively late build of the game so don’t see it changing much, if at all sadly!
