ok so i was looking at the Tera's website and besides the fact that they have a few different races this game looks exactly like Aion to me. i mean the ranger...same as Aion, the berserker ...same as the gladiator, the lancer ...same as templer except with a lance (which is kinda cool), warrior.....same as assasin, mages ....same as sorcerer/spirit master. the combat animation also remids me a lot fo Aion. even all the back drops in the few video clips look almost exactly like the starting zones in Aion. the art style...same as Aion. the armors....very close as well.
i realize that this is eastern made game, but is it basically gonna be Aion minus sticky targeting and with no flying?
I said it months ago, like I said months before launch that Aion was Lineage 2 reloaded.
In western cultures all MMOs take inspiration from EQ/WoW, in Asia all MMO are natural evolution of Lineage.
Also what Lineage 2, Aion and Tera have in common is the fact that they share many of the developers and game designers.
Remember all the hype about Aion and how much different it was supposed to be from other Asian games, exactly what also Tera is supposed to be?
If you really think that Tera will be a much more improved game than Aion, you are in for a shock, Tera producer Yong-Hyun Park is actually Lineage 2 creator (also accused of stealing the code of Lineage 3), in the team there is also the Aion Producer (for the western market) so get a clue guys.
This is still an Asian game made for Asian people produced by the ex producer of Lineage2 and adapted to the western market by the same guy in charge of Aion, need to say more?
TERA looks like every Asian game. Was interested, saw screens etc and forgot all about it. Just cannot play a game where teddy bears are player characters. Asians seem to like them though
I'm not Asian, neither do I like dwarves and orcs in every single game.

No sense made.
Aion was overhyped and didn't do as expected. Same goes for WAR, AoC, APB (which were despite your beliefs western games). There are developers of Aion working on TERA as well as Blizzard's ex-devs and other acclaimed veterans of the market. En Masse which is the western developer and publisher of the game was formed by ex NCsoft and Blizzard developers for that matter. Tera won't be a much more improved game than Aion, mainly because they are not the same I guess. Tera is not a sequel to Aion neither is it based on it so it can't be an "improved" version of it. It will most probably be, however, a much better game. The fact that the guy who created Lineage 2 is working on the project can only be a plus (a big one for that matter) and much to your ignorance he wasn't ever working for Aion. In fact, when Aion was in development Yon-Hyun Park was already working on Tera since Bluehole Studio was established on March, 2007.

You need to learn how to read before start hitting keys at ramdom.
So I ll make sure I am more specific to make sure that even people like you understand the concept.
Your reply is the same kind of answer Aion fanboys used to give when I said the Aion will be a Lineage 2 Reloaded Example: "no it has anything to do with L2, it will be totally diffent, more western friendly blablabla"
Now is: "TERA has nothing to do with Aion, it will be totally different and more western friendly"
Of course they will have some differences, I am not claiming that they are clones, and that's why I use the term "evolution".
What I am saying is that this game will feel and play like Lineage 2 and Aion (aka heavy Asian feel), with all due differences of course (I can tell you dozens of differences between L2 and Aion, still to me they look the same kind of soup)
But anyway let's talk about how similar this game is to Lineage 2 concept in a couple of months time, will you?
Secondly:
I said the Senior producer is Yon-Hyun Park Producer of Lineage 2 AND (learn how to read) the Senior producer for the western version is Brian Knox also Senior Producer of Aion (although I didn't mention his name it was clear I was talking about another person).
So let's recap, who are Tera main people?
-Yon-Hyun Park Senior Producer also Producer of Lineage 2
And yes he was working on Lineage 3 (Renamed Aion?) which he is also accused of stealing the code
-Brian Knox, Senior Producer Western Version also Producer of the western version of Aion
Those 2 are the ones that decide pretty much the design of the game, so you know what to expect.
Lastly there are many people who liked Lineage 2, Aion and many will love Tera I guess.
What I am saying though is that this is not going to be next big thing, because is not going to feel anymore western than the previous 2.
This will do good in Asia same as Aion and L2, but that's pretty much it

Again, selective reading ftw. I think I already said that the western games didn't do any better (in fact worse). So your assumption of "Tera not doing good because Aion didn't" is utterly wrong. What amazing games did west produce in the last 4 years anyway? Enlighten me. And on a second note, I'm indeed happy that the producer of Lineage 2 is working on this project (as many people are looking forward to the game for this reason only) and the fact that he is adapting some of the features of Lineage 2 can only be a plus. It's not going to be the most western-ish game ever, but it will be far more than Aion is. That was the reason En Masse was established in the first place. Where in the case of Aion, NCsoft had 1 year to make the game ready for the west, in the case of Tera, En Masse got the project when it was still in the very early development stages and, thus, are already few years into it.

Your agruments is all over the place. The main thing I want to point out is Aion and L2 have already done well in the US. Also westernization in L2 and Aion was great. All the quests and characters felt relevent but still had an asian feel which is the desired effect. Do you even know what westernized means? So what are you talking about? None of what you said proved that Tera will not be the next big thing as you put it.
Also what Lineage 2, Aion and Tera have in common is the fact that they share many of the developers and game designers.
Developers Have always moved from one company to another (check the bio of any big name Dev if you don't belive me), Hell even Lord British did a stint with NCsoft when he did TR........so did that make TR the next UO....hell no.
Remember all the hype about Aion and how much different it was supposed to be from other Asian games, exactly what also Tera is supposed to be?
It will be the first game to ever try to blend an Action game with a Traditional Fantasy mmo open world setting.....No other game on the market offers that.

Some zones remind me of color schemes/atmosphere of Aion, other more kinda dark and gothic zones remind me of pillaged and blighted areas of WAR, and the evergreen trees remind me of the flora from WoW with better graphics. /shrug
Upon first glance it may, but if you spend more than 5 minutes actually looking at the gameplay features and online footage, you would never have asked this question.

Exactly, I think this was a troll attempt that failed. These games concept and look is really worlds apart. I don't see a connection other than they are korean games.
Upon first glance it may, but if you spend more than 5 minutes actually looking at the gameplay features and online footage, you would never have asked this question.
exactly.
Just looking at the sheer mobs and combat style alone,it looks nothing like Aion.Does it still have some of that asian flare? of course,becuase its from an asian company..
but no way I would say this looks exactly like Aion.
Anime cleavage art style looks all the same to me. Still, I'm probably going to play it.
I know that i can personally never get enough.

This game doesn't look like Aion,wonder who could say that?

This is still an Asian game made for Asian people produced by the ex producer of Lineage2 and adapted to the western market by the same guy in charge of Aion, need to say more?
I'm not Asian, neither do I like dwarves and orcs in every single game.
This game doesn't have a target system,you have to AIM.
If you suck,you can't fix it with gear.
With that,it's already the best pvp mmorpg EVER.
Seriously,who cares about the westernization of this game? with this pvp,i could grind for months.
Oh,the first grind in the history of mmorpgs where you do more than just press 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 1 1 (thats what you will do in Rift and GW2)

Where in the case of Aion, NCsoft had 1 year to make the game ready for the west, in the case of Tera, En Masse got the project when it was still in the very early development stages and, thus, are already few years into it.
Your agruments is all over the place. The main thing I want to point out is Aion and L2 have already done well in the US. Also westernization in L2 and Aion was great. All the quests and characters felt relevent but still had an asian feel which is the desired effect. Do you even know what westernized means? So what are you talking about? None of what you said proved that Tera will not be the next big thing as you put it.
Don't feed the troll o_o
Other trolls will show up and throw a party.
EDIT: To be on topic. I played Aion and still do, and TERA looks nothing like it.
That's right! It wasn't me who was wrong. It was the world!

all the BS out and got to the heart of it.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Some zones remind me of color schemes/atmosphere of Aion, other more kinda dark and gothic zones remind me of pillaged and blighted areas of WAR, and the evergreen trees remind me of the flora from WoW with better graphics. /shrug
well does aion have this!

Upon first glance it may, but if you spend more than 5 minutes actually looking at the gameplay features and online footage, you would never have asked this question.

Exactly, I think this was a troll attempt that failed. These games concept and look is really worlds apart. I don't see a connection other than they are korean games.
exactly.
Just looking at the sheer mobs and combat style alone,it looks nothing like Aion.Does it still have some of that asian flare? of course,becuase its from an asian company..
but no way I would say this looks exactly like Aion.
no idea how this game will really end up buy my money is on its gonna be a flop in the west.
I know that i can personally never get enough.

Exactly this.
Forsaken Online or whatever that is looks like the Aion clone.
Based on what?
They don't look anything alike to start, nor will they play anything alike considering your aiming instead of spamming skill buttons.
Now that's a stupid thing to say, isn't it?
