A few tweaks and it'd be excellent.

It has a tremendous amount of potential. The character abilities and specialties are well rounded and thought out. The story is solid and graphics are decent.
Here is where a little polishing and tweaks would make this game awesome:
1. Facial expressions - the characters have no facial expressions. This would add too the emotion of the game in a big way.
2. Camera - Third person view is fine. But the ability to be able to look around in your environment, including in an upwards direction would make the world feel much more real.
3. No on shared screen - Gone are the days where the only multi-player experience you had was on a single console. Playing online with a shared screen is flat out annoying.
4. Speed travel - The causeways aren't really an ideal way to speed travel. Although there really isn't a need in this game to go back to previous towns after you've progressed, there was a quest I missed and wanted to go back to. It was a lot of walking and took a long time to backtrack. This leads to number 5.
5. Faster movement - Traversing the land on this game can be a chore. Quicker movement and perhaps a sprint option would be ideal. Dodging is actualy faster than your character jogs, so it's quite humorous yet redicilous looking when you have you and your friend dodging across the maps to get somewhere.
6. Equipment variety - There is actually quite a bit of armor and weapon variey in this game... the problem is, even though there's variety the armor still looks the same. There's only techinically about 3 or 4 different looks in armor.
7. Gender class - You have four charactes to choose from, two females and two males. The option to choose any of the 4 classes with any gender would be cool.
That's about it. With those 7 tweaks this game would be awesome. It's definetly a fun game to play. Try it out. Once you get past the awkardness of the camera you'll enjoy it. The other stuff would just make it sweeter.
