Just an extension of the affix system, have to farm more powerful versions rather than upgrade.

waitwaitwait so seasonal items (and chars?) won't make it back to Vanilla like POE? He said "we do not want powerful items like the hearts [..] in the base game"
So the whole point is getting all the seasonal journey and battlepass rewards?

I don't remember him saying exactly that. They were talking about adding too many new things bloating the eternal realm, so I can't imagine this is true.

Not as fun on my end, I think something not as repetitive but understand that basically it is what it is.

Yeah, characters flip over to Eternal, but season-specific stuff won't.
From the site Q&A -
The character and progress on that character is transferred to the Eternal Realm. You can play this character whenever you want in the Eternal Realm. Specific Season-only features will no longer be accessible in the Eternal Realm. For example, at the end of Season 1, Malignant Hearts will disappear and be unslotted from jewelry at the end of the season. Infested sockets will become normal sockets.
Some of that could change, but looks like they're setting expectations that nothing about the season mechanics will make it over.

Having no XP on the pass would have been an immediate dealbreaker. There has to be accelerated leveling/XP on a pass.
Glad to hear there will be XP on the first pass. Although I'd like to see it closer to 20%

That's really weird, it makes their live talk they just did not make any sense. They were talking about how they don't want to bloat the game with a bunch of new systems.

Meh, the Season 1 stuff feels like it should just be stuff for your pre-season characters. I personally wish they would have taken a MMOARPG route with the game instead of seasons. The game just doesn't feel like a "seasons" game, imho.

At least there is some sort of seasonal mechanic which is a step in the right direction. Sadly the end game is not getting any additions other than the ass hole tunnels they talked about. But hey, its something. They also said there si like 64? of these gem types? I wonder just how build defining they are. Because the one they showed was kinda weak sauce, although to be fair it was at noob levels.
