Destiny's RPG Elements

We know that Destiny is likely to feature a leveling system and equipable armor and weapons (re: iPhone screen from POoD vidoc). That, and the overall feel of the game, lends itself to featuring character progression elements. Plus, it may have been outright stated by Bungie and I just missed it. See, I've been very busy since the announcement, and haven't been able to give every shred of released info the exhaustive attention it deserves.

I've always loved RPGs, from single player (TES) to MMO (WoW/GW), and I think the fusion of character progression, single player, multi player, and Bungie's FPS formula is just the bee's knobbly knees. Has Bungie directly announced any RPG elements for Destiny? How about hinted? Are there any big fan theories on the subject?

And, most importantly, do you think they can pull it off?
