  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]You guys have seen next to nothing yet, only the bottom core of the physics which may be a teeny tiny fraction of what may come.

  As we can see in this pic, it shows the coordinates of point and click of one's character in a dungeon environment up an inclined slope.[/SPOILER]

  
  
  Holysnap, so it actually uses 3D orientation instead of pseudo-3D?
  Mabinogi is growing up so fast. ;_;

  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]I do have this to share though:

  A lot of it is various effect work but skip ahead to 5:30 and you'll get to see the character models in action. Despite all the juvenile guffaws and such that come to mind at "Jiggle Vertex" it describes what it does fairly well. As shown with the horse video they've animated the effect of movement on bodies and the like. It's a bit uncanny valley for my liking but the attention to detail is neat.
  EDIT: A slideshow to accompany the video. Seems it'll be a pain to translate >_<First one is talking about the bugs that turn up and how they're trying to handle it (apparently they had to build a custom handler or something). Second one talks about how they're trying to deal with the resource issues like loading times/sizes. Last one is fairly generic "stuff we did for animation".[/SPOILER]

  
  
  I wonder just how good the dynamic lighting will be. It'd be nice if we didn't have light shining through robe hoods onto our face. Of all things, that looks weird.
  Also, from that video it looks like there will be not only cloth/hair physics, but tissue physics (muscle/fat/skin) as well. That'll be interesting.
  
  Looks like as long as they don't botch the gameplay, I'll definitely give it a shot.
  
  Edit: From that slideshow, it looks like they're reusing the general animation where hitting something with a lute will result in the lute flying up for a bit and spinning. Hope that's indicative that they intend to make it follow in the footsteps of Mabinogi's style.

  Seeing as this'll be a sequel, hopefully we'll see some familiar locations :D.
  Imagine, a high-res Dunbarton!

  Hopefully it'll be less crippling for most computers, because of the new engine.
  
  I'm trying to imagine Post-Apocalyptic Tara with these new graphics, now. Then again, it probably wouldn't even exist in Mabi 2.

  They're getting so much better with the boob physics!! :T_T:
  Although, the stomach fat and leg fat still needs some work... but it's not complete yet. I eagerly await final results.

  Guild leader told me xbox gameplay might be possible : o
• Mystickskye wrote on 2012-08-16 08:08
  Your guild leader needs to cite his sources because that's the first I've ever heard of that. There WAS a Mabinogi for XBox but it got binned because Microsoft and Nexon couldn't come to an agreement over the distribution of future content (the game was complete too).

  You seem to be missing the "high" in high res.

  They're also giving bards melee combos with kicks and such too. In that vein, not very indicative of following on.

  That's an expansion of their close-combat skills, probably due to the intended flow of combat.
  By following the style, I meant that it's less "serious"/more relaxed than, say, Vindictus.

  yeah no
  
  this pretty much confirms what I already thought: this is essentially another Vindi, a spinoff really.

  
  
  

  Quote from Kingofrunes;932774:

  Looking at the screens, it certainly has that same feel. As much as the new graphics are all shiny and glossy, I'm going to have to pass. High graphic games tend to suck usually with no original gameplay whatsoever. The best games that I have loved so far, have had the least shiny graphics, such as Minecraft, Runescape, Mabinogi, etc.

  
  
  These kind of comments are just appalling.
  
  We know absolutely nothing about this game. The 'graphics' shown aren't even completed yet. And its made by devCat, who also obviously made Vindictus, so of course its going to have similar style to their other games.
  
  This does not mean its going to be ANYTHING like Vindictus.
  
  I'm also seeing a lot of comments like 'I'm only going to play this if its like Mabinogi'. Um... ITS MABINOGI 2. /TWO/. Its going to be similar. They wouldn't be making a sequel if they felt like the way Mabinogi plays was unsuccessful. Sure, its getting some changes, its going to get some updates and variations. That doesn't mean its going to be a clone of Vindictus. If anything, its going to be a faster-paced version of Mabinogi, with the fluidity and flow that works so well in Vin.
  
  People drawing these kind of conclusions over this little amount of information is just absolutely mind blowing. We don't know /anything/ yet. So just wait.

  If I recall correctly from what I heard before, Mabinogi 2 is supposed to be a prequel to Mabinogi. Between Vindictus/ Mabinogi Heroes and Mabinogi.

  Mabinogi 2 is a sequel to Mabinogi 1 regardless where the story falls.

  Anyone know if they live-stream the GStar conference? It seems like every single korean event this year has been.

  They've said that Mabinogi 2 will be completely different from anything else so far.
