You did not read, I don't understand why you'd call out posts for things they didn't say.
In post 1,541, the one you just wrote in this comment, that I wrote, I said...
"Yeah sorry, they're shrines. You'll get puzzles in dungeons and puzzles in shrines. We couldn't tell you if the shrines use the same visuals or music cus we ain't seen shit of 'em. Literally, no footage or screenshots within. But we know they're shrines."
That's as clear as daylight on the context, you just read "They're shrines" and blotted out everything else. I appreciate it, thank you for not reading my comment trying to address the exact specifics of what we know beyond their existence, and interpreting that as if I suddenly know more than even those at the Preview event.
No, nobody said "Shrines are the exact same"... what people said, is that the major concept is known; you have them as fast travel points, you walk in them to other spaces, they have a blue icon, an orange part when incomplete. That's what we know, and it tells us...
Shrines exist. Everything else is unknown.
We can't tell you what is or isn't the same, because we don't know. And you're taking that lack of knowledge, and people like me trying to explain what we do know - and don't - as validation of your beliefs that Nintendo has done nothing to improve things people find flawed. We can't tell you if they have or haven't! Nobody can! Don't validate beliefs founded on an absence of information, it's not healthy.
I understand beyond this, you're trying to explain some thoughts people are having. The post directly above this explains perfectly why they don't like shrines, and why they hoped they weren't present. I get it, it's a solid explanation. There's still grey space founded on a lack of knowledge, but what we do know indicates they'll be disappointed in at least the area of shrines. Even if they address most criticism (which is probably unlikely, there are lots of things people can single out, some of 'em are sure to not be addressed), the concept of shrines is just not what they want.
People aren't going to like, argue the opposite... in fact, that's what my post - post 1,541- is about. If the user's complaint about shrines wasn't the concept, and more the execution, there was still hope. But as the above says, that's not the case and it is in fact the concept, and that's disappointing. But for those to whom it's the execution, in two weeks we'll have a grasp of that.
