  I'm wondering where people are getting the impression that Mabinogi II is going to do horribly given the very little we've seen of it.

  
  
  It's because vindictus started out the same way.
  
  It was "LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL COMBAT STUFF!!!"
  Then closed beta started and it was just like a Monster hunter ripoff and people started to slowly leave.
  Plus the dialogue was shit, the whole moral behind vindictus is "HAVE A FUCKING ICE BRANDY, KILL FOMORS FOR NO REASON IN RECYCLED MAPS!!"

  Except Vindictus is still going, if it were really doing so horribly they would have shut it down.

  Mabi 2's engine looks like a derpy havoc engine, or a crude copy/pasta.
  BIG VIDEO ABOUT THE ENGINE
  
  
  Either way, mabinogi 2 will probably end up like Sonic 06, and the playerbase will wonder what the fuck Devcat is doing with all the money that's being poured into making this horrible game.

  
  
  Hey, I liked Sonic 06.

  Yes, you're not the only one who thinks that. The game should at least have a different name because from what I've seen, it's not even close to the original Mabi..
  
  I agree that Vindictus II would be a better fit for it.

  Don't forget that Vindictus's name in Korea is Mabinogi Heroes.
  Them calling it Vindictus II wouldn't work.

  i don't get the havoc/silver engine comparison
  
  Both have way different lightining/shadow rendering
  Both have different color palette use
  Both have different clothing physics
  All the stuff that i can't say if is or isn't the same, are those that i still don't see in action on silver engine (like ambiental lightining, fog effects, weather effects, skyrendering, and such)

  I just wish they could redo the player models for Mabinogi 1 to match up to the newer models... The human/elf looks outdated compared to newer NPCs, with our blocky hair and pixelated facial features. :( Anime graphics can look really amazing if done right, but I guess they did poorly on this out of laziness or to save space/memory when it came out, and are too lazy to upgrade it all now.
  
  An improvement in just the player models for Mabi 1 would be better for me than any sequel or prequel that goes a completely different game style. >_<
  
  I think Mabinogi's probably one of the most diverse MMOs out there... as in there's tons of things to do, and not just combat. Megaten had a similar combat style, but they didn't have much else to do.

  Yeah, Megaten had the sameish combat style. That was it really and that still is it. Sure you can rebirth your demon but the games so much of a god damn grindy pain in the ass that most new players quit after a few days. I've revised that game FOUR times over the past 3 years and not once have I stayed with it longer than 1-2 weeks before quickly loosing interest in the grind. Also it's 99% more pay 2 win than Mabi. @,@;

  Yeah, I think I have played/quit Megaten like 3 times, and could never stay longer than a week. xD Pretty much only play it for the demons, anime-ish graphics, and unique(for anime style game) setting. I did also notice that pretty much all the good clothes are for real money, which really turned me off too, since I play Mabi primarily for fashion. XD;
  
  I mean, I do buy NX in Mabi, but the huge variety of non-cash clothes available is what got me hooked to the game as a beginner free player, which lead to me buying NX later on. :P

  This section isn't very active, but I'm posting this anyway.
  
  One thing people really need to keep in mind is, like it's been said, Vindictus is called Mabinogi: Heroes in Korea. This game is a squeal to that, not the Mabinogi we all know and love. As far as I can tell, an actual Mabinogi 2 has yet to even be announced.

  Rather than making another version of 'Mabinogi' that we play they should just go with some massive visual/graphic change. Please do keep the anime-ish look but it could definitely be much more refined

  The character models would be a nice start, the feet and hands in particular ruin the cutscene animations with those blocky meshes
