I've been avoiding looking at anything about it as I don't know if I'll get to upgrade my computer properly to play it when it comes out (thus I don't want to get over hyped about it before it comes out).

However this video just goes to further prove it will own when it comes out...

It looks like WoW!

I love the song with it, are those custom skins they're using or some effect in the game they're afflicted with?

Basically by what I've read there's already three or four "morph missions" (like elves have in one of their first areas in WoW). I hope like the WoW one you can choose not to finish the quest and instead keep the item to morph for fun.

Current ones include the corn, a drake, the cat race, and a parrot (the parrot allowing you to sneak onto a pirate ship and watch a cut scene about what the pirates are planning).

Of the nice thing, it appears the drake mission gives you unique abilities while in that form, and allows actual flight.

As for the looking like WoW, yeah a bit. Some of the rocky terrain areas look like their right out of the blasted lands. However some of the new areas are absolutely beautiful (think FFX and the yuna/tidus floating in water scene).

The game is going to be so beautiful.

Ummmm...

This is definitely the biggest WTF thing I've seen today. (Of course, it's only 38 minutes after midnight, otherwise that honor would go to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q16KpquGsIc)
