The higher FOV and more zoomed out camera is nice BUT, please for the love of god, give us an option to move the camera position or camera angle up or down.
When zoomed all the way out, the character is directly in the middle of the screen!
This makes everything you want to see in front of your character cramped in that tiny screen space on top of your character(from your character’s head to top of screen). All that screen space behind your character (from the feet of your character to bottom of screen) is being wasted because I believe 95% of the time, your focus will be in front of your character, not behind.
These are rough estimates but I will try to explain. So 95% of the time, you are looking at the top half part of the screen which is about 50% of the screen. Then subtract the screen space taken up by your target’s hp bar and whatever status they have (which takes up about 15% of the top of the screen) you are left with 35%. So 95% of the time you are fighting, you are staring at only 35% of your screen.
I believe this is the reason why many people are complaining that the game feels cramped.
