I don't know anything about this game or it's predecessors. Is it just a fantasy RPG or what's the hype all about? How is it different from other fantasy RPGs?

Actual big and broad RPGs, especially with AAA production, aren't super common. JRPGs are a bit more available, but if you have the itch for different formats, your options are few and far between.

This year is kind of a wild year because there are a bunch of big RPGs in different formats coming out (Diablo 4, Final Fantasy 16, BG3, Starfield), but there are a lot of years with none.
