    Not my preferred style, but it looks decent.

    Agreed I'm not a anime fan but i do love the very cartoon like aesthetics and studio ghibli look. The big problem is Iv played both Soul Worker and KurtzPel and although they have fun combat and stunning visuals they were heavily instanced and very light on content ie repetitious . I'v said this before and i don't know if its technically possible but if they could bring this art style and gameplay to a open world MMO type environment i think these kind of games would be a HUGE hit.

    I like the art. It does seem to want to grab those fans of Sword Art Online which isn't a bad thing as long as the story and gameplay are good.

    If it's an open world MMORPG then yeah it looks amazing, if it is heavily instanced like soulworker and kurtzpel then that's tragic.

    I would be totally happy with instances if it isn't another shallow hack and slasher like Streetwork- I mean Soulworker.

    If you go with instances, use those instances to force unique challenges on teams.

    If you go open world, take advantage of that open world with dynamic content and hidden explorable areas. A small, dense open world is better than a large, vapid one.

    WE CANT SIGN UP FOR CLOSED BETA !!!

    I doubt there are many players from Japan on this forum, so next time mention that first please.

    if it's open world like archeage, I'll play it. if it's like kurtzpel, soulworker, then absolutely not my cup of tea.

    It's in the full article. It seems you didn't bother reading past the first post in the thread, but I'm in a good mood, so I'll quote it here for you:

    Sign ups for alpha testing are being accepted, though it appears that only Japanese players will be accepted with a Bandai Namco account.

    Truth be told Suzie, Iv been coming here for 7 years and I'm lucky to make it past the first 2 or 3 sentences. The truth is like every other human on the planet id simply rather hear myself speak, err type.

    It looks/feels almost like a .hack reboot or at least huge inspirations from it. Looks good to me.

    It's attractive. Can't say much beyond that yet.

    EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests

    It's beautiful, but I don't have high hopes for the implementation. Please prove me wrong, Bandai Namco!

    Wake me when it's localized poorly in NA in 5 years beyond the point of its relevance with tons of P2W crap in its cash shop.

    Maybe I'm jaded, but I'm not holding my breath this is any different from all the Asian MMOs that take forever to come to English speaking regions.

    When your particle/VFX person(s) get paid more than the CEO (tone it down some). :D

    If Phantasy Star Online was done like this, and they rebooted the story for after Phantasy Star IV, I'd be less grumpy.

    As someone said earlier, if it's Open World... I'm interested. If instance themepark, then meh.

    Did you notice it has day and night cycles. Something rare in modern mmo's.
