I believe, given my long love for and history with Treasure (from Konami on up, of course) that however flawed the game may end up being, it will have that delicious Treasure-nougat center. ALL Treasure games, even the bad ones, have this inherent joy in them, even if it's in only a single aspect of the gameplay. In a worst-case scenario, the game will be an interesting let-down. I can't imagine this actually happening however, even though I realize I wasn't there to actually see it and play it firsthand. It's just faith, baby. Faith. Treasure won't blow this chance.
Or they will and we'll all live anyway. ;-)
