The paragraph seems to be written by one of the developers. Quoting directly:


 * This kind of technology isn't just for show -- it has gameplay applications, too. The floating islands can be affected by weather (like strong winds), and it gives players more opportunities to change or react to the environment around them. It also opens the door for cool setpiece moments; during our demo, we witnessed a bell tower tilt and collapse, with the bell breaking off and sliding to a stop right at the player's feet.
