  i know what it is, it doesn't need to look like a dragon ball z shading to be a cel-shading, its a shading technique used on many games that maybe you wont notice.

  
  
  No, you do not. However, I can help you with that. A quick perusal of this page will clear up any misconceptions you may have.

  Mabinogi 2 looks like a beat em up game.

  I am very much impressed. Looks cool to me and I like the story.
  Steparus page has decent info. Looking forward to more info on this.

  Well, looks better then what The Elder Scrolls online is turning out to be.

  To people who is complaining about us judging the so-called Mabinogi 2 game.
  
  We all have a right to judge so, and it's also why games who will be released later, they usually post teasers, to give people clues of what it is.
  
  From what it seem to be... it does not look like Mabinogi 2... but rather Vindictus 2, lol. Not interested in it.

  I think I'm more excited about Project NT than this.
  
  NT just looks so pretty @_@

  Hm, it feels vindictus-like...
  
  ... though I can "sort of" dunno recognize some Mabinogi skills, like the traditional windmill and down attack.

  I just looked that up, it's graphics remind me of the Tales series style.
  The Monster system seems like a cool idea, not gonna go off-topic though.

  Anyone else dislike the departure from the anime stylized graphics of Mabinogi? There's plenty of pretty, eastern-stylized MMO's, but very few (if any) non-lobby based games that use cel-shading. Personally, I would love it if they had updated Mabinogi's graphics with something similar to Tales of Xillia or the Atelier games.
  
  Also, from what I remember reading of the few details that Nexon has released in the past, it sounds like Mabinogi 2 will lack a lot of the nonlinear gameplay that the first game offers. Who knows, though. Maybe the information that comes out of G*Star will knock my socks off.

  Upon seeing this, I give up on "Mabinogi 2" (screw that, call it Vindictus 2 and be done with it. It looks nothing like Mabinogi. Then again, Vindictus is called Mabinogi Heroes in KR :P).
  
  I, and I'm sure a lot of others, want an actual sequel, including re-done anime-ish graphics on a completely new engine. Not this Vindictus-looking shit -_-
  
  If it wasn't labeled as Mabinogi 2, I would have been interested. But this of course ruined expectations (no surprise there, from what little we actually knew about it this doesn't surprise me that much D:)

  
  
  My thoughts, right here. As soon as teasers of the character models showed the deviation from the anime style I knew it would be hard for me to like it, but I figured I'd give it a chance. Now after watching the trailer and seeing how unlike Mabi this is probably gonna turn out, Im not so sure I want to even try.
  Completely disappointed.

  Another dungeon crawler?

  I'll have to agree with Shisummy on this one, Yandere.
  The character models are clearly cel-shade. It's Borderlands kinda cel-shade. Yes, it's not THAT cel-shade, but the cel-shade lines are there, with the opaque colors.
  
  It seems interesting nevertheless, at least the combat part. We only got a sneak peak, we have no idea how the game will behave outside of the dungeons.
  You're all complaining about the dungeon crawler like Mabinogi itself isn't one. Mabinogi IS a dungeon crawler, though it has very interesting mechanics aside from it.
  So far we only saw Mabinogi II Arena behave inside dungeons. Give it some time, judge the other aspects of the game when they are actually revealed.

  The "anime style" doesn't matter to me in the slightest, that wasn't even a factor in getting me to play this so many years ago.
  
  Anyway, they'll be two different games. I'm probably going to try it and enjoy it just like I did Vindictus.
  Nobody says everyone has to only like one version of Mabi.

  I'll try it, it looks nice so far. I love Vindictus's graphics so it's not that big of a problem for me.
  Plus, I already play both games.

  It looks bad so far :/
  Just like a different vindictus
