Mabinogi: Manifest Destiny is a fan-made generation series that utilizes the cut-scene dialogue system used in Mabinogi, giving it both a professional and legitimate look that Mabi players are used to when experiencing the many stories of the game. While this generation isn't playable, it will offer a fan-fictional outlook on the Mabinogian lore, introducing a variety of characters owned by players known or not known to the Mari Server.

The fabrication of the dialogue system is not a mod. It was merely imitated using Adobe Photoshop and Sony Vegas. As most NPCs in Mabinogi, the original characters introduced in the Manifest Destiny story are given high-quality artwork for display as said characters are speaking. This is the vision we hold for Mabinogi fanfiction.

Below is a short prologue for Manifest Destiny, and to give potential viewers a glimpse of how this story will be told...in HD. (Better quality if watched on Youtube)

Our treasured artist, Mistak aka KC, is working with us to bring our vision alive with his amazing art skills. Below are the main characters of Manifest Destiny:

If you wish to contact me about anything, please send a note to my main Magdalenia on the Mari Server. I also own a character "Maglama" on the same server. I go by both names, so just call me Magbag. :DDDDD

Art looks way off, no offense.

I think the artwork is great, might not be identical to the professional artists being paid in Korea, but still good. If I were to criticise, I would just say the eyes could be improved.

Look forward to the full thing!

Sidenote: Clear... Shine..? Reminds me of final fantasy.

Can't really expect us to be perfect with the art. It's FAN-made. Kinda did emphasize on that, but thanks for the comment, Xemnas. Got anything positive to say? :U

I don't really have anything positive to say about something that's supposed to fit in with mabinogi but looks far too cartoony.(it's good for pure fan content though and unrelated to mabinogi itself)

I just wanna say. Your art is very pretty. I like it :thumb:

Then this isn't for you. You haven't even seen much yet, but you're quick with negative replies. But it's ok. You made it evident that you're trolling as well as your previous posts, so yeah, grain of salt, yo.

Enjoy your post counts, however. ;)

I dunno why, but the first one's face looks...odd to me. Might be that the lips and nose are so close together, and maybe that the nose is almost in the middle of the lips from that perspective.
The others are pretty nice, though.
