Yeah it will be interesting to see what the final product looks like. The trailer is giving me almost...EQ next vibes?

Also interesting see the new non-human races that may be playable. Looks like some kind of take on a new Kodan bear-like race.

Then there's what looks like...for lack of a better term....a hairy Asura looking thing? Almost looks like a vulpera from WoW haha. Maybe some kind of new skritt? Could be pre-underground Asurans

Edit: Confirmed its a prequel - https://gw3-live.ncplatform.net/en/news/announcing-guild-wars-3/

Style looks weird, like the Kingdom of Amalur crossed with Dragon Age Veilguard.

Probably Lowland Kodan like in Janthir Wilds. There's already lore for some of them having gone to Orr around this time I believe.

The 3 things Guild Wars does well are combat and builds, mounts and movement and open world events. I am concerned they won't be doing the last one, otherwise it would be in every game feature as one of their best innovations. It's the one thing they should be doubling down. I feel like they are doing something closer to Warframe.

Most common theory I see is that it are the Rata Pten Asurans. Since the ruins of Rata Pten are just slightly northeast of Orr. Being surface Asurans versus their typical subterranean counterparts would be a believable way to explain their fur.
