@believer258: It's really as simple as this: The game hasn't been shown to us, we don't know what it looks like, or if it will even resemble what this document lays out, and that blind sensationalism is causing people to make ludicrous statements (not to be confused with Ludicrous' statements). Yes, massively multiplayer is the first two words of the MMO acronym, but my point is that, well, "you're just wrong in assuming this is an MMO, especially when the document makes certain not to use the exact words you're throwing around."
You wouldn't call all of the games I listed (here for reference: Dark/Demon's Souls, MAG, World of Warcraft, Warcraft/Starcraft, Diablo, Call of Duty, or Hybrid) MMOs, but they are pretty much in lieu of the ideas that the MMO presents. Would you call XBOX Live, Steam, or the PSN an MMO? You have lots of people online, sharing pretty much the same space, having the same aspects of what MMOs do visually, but you put them figuratively in the same "realm." But you wouldn't call them MMOs, unless you really wanted to prove a point.
As for the "sci-fantasy," once again, you're blindly talking about something you have no clue about. Will there be healers? Spells? Magic? Maybe. To quote Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone), "science fiction, the improbable [is] made possible; fantasy, the impossible made probable." But we don't know what they mean by this, we could be getting something like Xenoblade Chronicles for all we know, or we could get something like Star Wars, where magic is kind of there but not so prevalently. Bungie might completely scrap the fantasy at the end, or might completely scrap the sci-fi at the end, with only some lingering hints of either scattered across. In short, and in the words of Forrest Gump, "you never know what you gonna get."
Also, stop quoting so much of everything, it's freaking annoying. And get a sense of humor that's identical to me so you stop getting so offended by my preciouscomments. That's sarcasm, if you don't catch it.
EDIT: I fixed a spelling mistake that I'm an idiot to have made, and added a quote by Rod Serling to make myself look super smart.
