Finally a review that isn't some shoddy 15 min first look. I barely play this game anymore but I'm happy that it got a good review. Hell, I'm probably going to watch the rest of this guy's reviews because I love long reviews but there aren't many reviewers that seem to tackle mmos and put time into them before releasing a review. Maybe angryjoe but he doesn't actually review many mmos.

Someone should cut out 0:42 - 0:45 and save it for future reference.

I always brace myself when people review things I still like. It's nice how fair this felt.

Honest question, but did anyone actually bother to watch the whole 40 minutes of it?
[S]TL;DW[/S] Watched the first 15-20 minutes or so and eh... I don't think he was critical of the right things. The criticism of the anime aspect is outright silly, as many players (including the reviewer himself) were first attracted to the game thanks to its anime style and not the Celtic mythology themes that most people don't actually care about. :( That's just Megaman's weird opinion... all while he's been cosplaying as Megaman in game for all these years. xd
[S]No-[/S]life skills grind, anyone? (Or was this BS covered later in the video?)

Time is valuable to some. One doesn't need to watch the whole thing to point out flaws in what's been seen. Whether he made better arguments in the 2nd half of the video is a different question. I've asked if someone who did watch the whole thing could tell me if life skill issues were discussed in parts that I haven't seen; unfortunately, you have not provided a meaningful response.

to put it simply, no, he didn't talk about life skills
why would you when life skills are just a small part of the game? you don't even HAVE to do life skills to enjoy yourself on mabi
he mostly talked about the combat system, ptj's, rebirthing/creating character, and the community and cash shop

Thanks. Life skills, however, are a huge part of the game. Just look at how many different life skills there are. Hell, there are a bunch of different talents using many different life skills. They were designed to be a crucial part of the "fantasy life" core theme of the game, but they couldn't even make tailors useful because all the fancy fashionable clothes are obtained exclusively through gachapon. The fact that almost all of those skills are only levelled for their stat bonuses says all there is to say about this. It's a huge opportunity--wasted.
