How do I say this? I can see why you'd be disappointed, as the game we got doesn't seem to be what was promised. Then again, this is Utawarerumono, so thinking it could be a uber serious and dramatic epic like RotTK was a long shot in the first place.

That said, I personally am not disappointed by what I seen so far (Havn't got the game itself, should have it in a week or so). Then again, that's probably because I wasn't expecting much.

That's mainly because while it was first announced that the game would be released after two years, following the success in the sales department, that was cut in half to just under a year. That made me very wary, and it smelled to me of corporate/company meddling, and having gone through something similar with Dragon Age Origins and it's sequel, I was readying myself for a disaster, which I think was averted.

It's possible that cutting short the development time probably DID have an effect on the end product, in fact id'd be surprised if it didn't. How much, we probably won't know unless perhaps the devs pour their heart out sometime in the future.

TL:DR, I think you we're disappointed because you had very high expectations, but no one can fault you for that.
