The friendly monster thing is going to fucking die at the end isn't it? It's going to get killed off by some knightly jackass on a horse, made up to look like a standard fantasy protagonist or whatever.

I hate this shit. Like when Neverending Story kid loses his horse in that swamp. I wasn't even controlling a little guy and forming a personal relationship with that horse. It's just a goddamn shitty thing is what it is. I can hardly wait to even think about preordering this thing.


This is very close to my initial reaction as well. The Neverending Story bit is made even worse by the fact that the horse actually died during that scene because of the harness breaking.

And I can see what both dvaergen and Isfet are saying in terms of this being emotionally and stylistically very same-y to what he's done before and I'm conflicted between enjoying a cozy afternoon nap in the warm blanket of familiarity versus wondering what heck Ueda would do with something that's outside of his comfort zone.
