Thanks to Bloodaxes, we've got a preview and impressions video from YouTuber "GRM Adrian" who is participating in the Ascent: Infinite Realm open beta in Thailand. While we have no news on this side of the world about when any type of A:IR beta testing will begin, it's a great look at how the game plays spread over 10+ minutes. Check it out and then leave us your thoughts in the comments here or in Bloodaxes' thread! Thanks for the cool find!

Wasn't sure it was worthy of a thread by you guys (I can delete my thread if you want no problem) else I would have pmed you :P
As for the game, I'm also a bit sceptical BUT I've been waiting for a new mmorpg to try for so long that if it's even remotely playable I'll be giving it a try. While the gameplay video has some things to be weary about, overall it didn't seem bad (compared to recent mmos at least). I love mechs, it hits my weak spot.
I think you are mixing publisher and dev... Kakao is publisher of BDO and Pearl Abyss is dev of BDO.
So... BDO with flying and mechs... OK.

This guy seems to have played the Korean version and said that the Thai version seems to be better overall. He also compares it to Bless online at the start, but do keep in mind it's an early impression so having unreal engine 3 could still (my guess guaranteed) be an issue.
This video mentions that he kept hearing people saying it's action combat like you, but he said it's more like Revelations Online where you still need to target enemies. I haven't tried it myself, and my first impression seemed to be similar to Guild Wars 2 but I could be wrong.
All in all, it seems like it could be fun (hoping they don't ruin it with the cash shop) for a pver like myself.
