If you want something similar (but differently) to WoW, try City of Heroes. It was a major competitor to WoW back in the day and is still around and is completely free to play.

Same tab based targeting and skill usage, but instead of Elves and Orcs, you have Super Heroes/Villains, gangs, zombies, mechs, etc. Been playing it for nearly 20 years now.

What they've shown doesn't really make me more excited. What I imagine they're holding back does. Dungeons, tons of new content, etc. They had 6 years to work on this building off the base of the original, theres gonna be plenty of new stuff to explore and if you like the original, its gonna look and play the same at its core.

This. Glad for people that love the vibe, but I’d rather a return to OoT-through-SS glory & feel.

I’m just done with current mainline trajectory, unless there’s something drastic we don’t know about Tears.

Gimme WW&TP remasters on Switch! Give me a brand new Top-Down entry, or Minish Cap & Oracle remakes!

I don't know what to think tbh. So far all we've seen is the same old game with a handful of new powers and some sky islands. That hasn't got me excited at all. It looks like a DLC.

Thing is though, they've been working on this game for six years! And they started with an existing game engine, world and assets. So I simply cannot believe that all we’re going to end up with is what we've seen so far. They could have made a second entirely new landmass in that time.

We still haven't seen much of the new game world and where it plays out. Some of those sky islands look like they have interesting looking buildings on them. Dungeon entrances perhaps?

Will wait and see. I agree that what we've seen is underwhelming. I just can't believe that'll be the lot.

Between Tales of Symphonia being remastered, Baten Kaitos remastered, and now potentially Skies!? These are my top 3 RPGs of all time of that era. The only games that come close are the Xenoblade series.

It's like the gaming gods are finally answering all of my prayers. I've been wanting to show my wife this game for YEARS because I literally never stop talking about it.

Ramirez is easily one of my favorite villains of all time. The gameplay is awesome and the story is great. It also has one of the best and fun open worlds to explore of all time.

I just hope they reduce random encounter rates.
