What if the new fantasy rpg combat is just a reskin of the last game?

I’ve been watching the footage for that new fantasy RPG, and I can’t shake the feeling that the combat looks a little too much like the last game from the same studio. I’m worried it might just be a reskin with a new story. Has anyone else picked up on that, or am I just seeing things?

I felt that, yeah. The combat loops and some hit reactions line up with the last game in a way that’s hard to ignore. Seems like a reskin with a new story to me, but I could be reading it wrong.

I kept pausing the footage and comparing the boss windups frame by frame, and the timing was almost identical, like they reused the same choreography with different cosmetics.

I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt—the engine might be new, but the animation pack feels the same. Maybe the pacing and reward loop are what actually drag it down if you’ve seen the other game.

Are you sure it’s not just the camera work and lighting making it look similar?
