Id like to think I'm not super wrapped up in the hype. Maybe because I was skeptical about the fighting system.
I was really surprised by how good the demo was, liking the game quite a bit when I got it, and liking it more and more as I play.
At this point I'd say it's going to come more down to whether you are in to this type of game. If you are, I'd say the quality is undeniable so nothing to worry about there.
