-100/10 Nah it looks pritty cool but having your own personal built in bot software makes me wonder what the community will end up being like , most likely not pritty.
2/10 just because the graphic is not bad, although they borrow it from Lineage 2. Anyway, it is more than I gave to Lineage 2, which got a big fat 1 for worst commercial MMORPG ever.
Technicly it looks great. Very nice graphics engine. What really bothers me though is the character models. Why are all the men wearing makeup and perms? Why are they all so efiminate? Even the so-called male "fighters" look like high school girls. What are they gonna do when fighting an enemy? Make fun of the enemies outfits? Pull their hair? Stomp off and not talk to them for days? They certainly won't get into melee combat since they might accidently soil their Prada jackets or something.

Seeing as it is an Asian game, it only stands to reason that the men are "pretty boys." Take, for example, Ramirez from Skies of Arcadia. You have to appreciate that in america, the idealized man is rugged and masculine. In Asia, it may very well be more feminine. There's nothing wrong with the way they look in my opinion..

I remember that game. In fact it's one of my favorite console rpgs of all time (next to Suikoden). The thing is, Ramirez was the exception rather than the rule in that game. Remember the ship captain? He was pretty rough. What about that pirate guy with the pistols that ran around with you for awhile (don't remember his name)? Not very sissyfied. And the main general with the bad guys? Extreemly tough. Even Vyse wasn't completely girly. Ramirez and that evil prince guy were both pretty foppish but that's about it.
So just cause it's an asian made game doesn't mean they can't have some masculine character models. But, live and let live, I always say. I probably won't buy the game but I won't slight others for doing so. i might just snicker a little behind their backs.

Well, I guess my indirect point was that Ramirez was THE toughest, bad-ass metrosexual in that entire game (ignoring the fact that I finally beat him with Vyse). In a straight up fight with any other boss in the game, he'd smoke em hard. And he did it with style and that evil quote of his "Where there is light, there is darkness..."

You're right about that at least... He was the baddest-assed bad- ass in the game. Even if he was a little um... delicate.
