Knew it was going to be like "Vindictus 2" rather than "Mabinogi 2"

Lol...

What I like the most is their engine. They actually use actors to record in animations of the characters.

Oh man, an Action MMO that's less spammy, me like this. That's definitely Mabinogi concept right there. I wonder how it will play out in actual gameplay...

Spectator interaction while others are in dungeon? Now that's another unique thing right there.

A little disappointed that it's not as open as current the Mabinogi, but I suppose it's to not take all the Mabi players into Mabi 2.

to be completely honest this is what i found the stupidest
log into the game just to watch other people play the game...?_?
sure theres the interaction and stuff, but i don't see the appeal.
its like adding a streaming service to each characters clients really.
i don't think it warranted adding "arena" to the title, for sure.

but whatever. knowing me i'll at least try the game. they sure didn't win me over with the concept though.

True, I like Dragon Nest and usually just log in to spectate PvP... but PvE? I don't see anything that warrants much reason to spectate in PvE....

With the way they reasoned arena, it seemed like it's a major thing in the gameplay, so I'm wondering how are they going to do this.

Just like Mahjong... where you can spectate other people's game...

I've heard about this! And don't get disappointed so fast. D: If they do this right, it could be really good, regardless of the different play style. They're gonna let you mix up the different classes for your char build just like in the current Mabinogi. And as Sky said, a non-spammy action MMO would be pretty cool--so again, it all hinges on their execution. And based on what I've seen in the trailer, things are looking pretty decent so far.

Reposting the trailer for more visibility!

That golem is hot.

As for the "Arena" part, I don't see why it's such a bad thing. It could be quite fun and useful in some situations, like say people could help you out from the outside while you're running Peaca or something. Think of the possibilities for things like events. I'd love to hear more details about how this will really work, though!

Loving the art, too:


Anime-ish style for the characters without being too kiddy? I approve!


This, on the other hand...


A sweet-lookin' dungeon statue. :D


The engine's got some built-in party-type action support? Cool! I wonder how extensive it is?

I'd probably pick project NT over arena though...

yeah, i was looking forward to that back when nexon didn't even have it.
granted, theres not enough informations on it to make any real guess on if its good or not.
i just like the cellshading.
