  Glad to see it's progressing.
  Also nothing wrong with the images shown. It's not like they can ignore the fact that women have breasts when designing the character models, and to make an effort to have it be realistic is always a good thing. As long as they don't exaggerate certain laws of physics.

  
  
  They already did that with Nao XD

  Yeah, I don't any problem with posting those images.
  
  We all know what a human model looks like.
  
  But it's very cool. :)

  It looks pretty accurate, at least. I wonder how it'll turn out in the finished product.

  They usually start with the female model because males are a lot easier afterward. I prefer a game with good character physics. :)

  Anyone who says "BEWBS" after this post gets a warning/infraction. It's spam, and rude, also shows how childish you are. :)

  Yeah, guys. If you wanna spam about Mabinogi 2's boobs, take it to Bean Rua.

  In first video I was like... wth happened to the show... Then I realized what they were showing XD

  I hate how perverts automatically get all perverted due to the whole video where its just breasts moving. Sure it might be exciting to the next pervert, but its acctually a huge improvement for Nexon/DevCat, or in gaming aswell. In the real world, breasts move, and this game should reflect that. This isnt a rude or perverted comment, but i approve of Mabinogi II so far.

  What interests most people about Mabinogi other than the game play aspect, I believe, is the way how age actually affects your character.
  
  In Mabinogi 1, age only changes polygon sizes and character shapes. It's distinguishable between age 10 and age 17 characters. However, we do all know that the fatal flaw in such system is that the characters will always have breasts, even at age 10, (Most girls blossom at age 12 to 14) and their facial shapes will never change (So age 17 characters will still have their childish, innocent looks while having an adult sized body). This makes the game particularly akward for different characters and players tend to stick to a particular age or rebirth their character for that particular age (ie. I'll only stick to age 15 ~ 17 size for my character, not because I couldn't rebirth but because it suits my character better).
  
  However, since Mabinogi 2 is coming out soon and would probably be a sequel, if not an upgrade from Mabinogi instead of Heroes/ Vindictus, it would be interesting to see how they would develop a system that would slowly mature the character, from a young child to a grown adult, perhaps even to their older stages for really old characters (Oh come on, I'm pretty sure Devcat realizes how we make mules and age them all the time).
  
  
  Animation's great... However, good animations must come along with good engine graphics and development statuses, perhaps even changes and heavy particle effects. Hopefully, in Mabinogi 2 (If it's a MMORPG like Mabinogi 1), we can actually watch our characters age per week rather than just grow taller and larger.
  
  
  
  
  Besides, who could ever deny a Loli/ Shota of their discounts? /Recettear pun

  Seriously guys. I'd expect this sort of thing from people on the official forums. x.x
  
  As for Newbie's post, I'd be interested in being a 10-year-old without mini-bewbs on me. That's just creepy.

  =/ I hope more people aren't going to be leaving Mabi for this Mabinogi 2 in the future. I think it would be a lot nicer if they made this game an update on the current Mabi instead, since I really don't want to restart all over again just for the same game with better graphics. If I was going to restart, I'd rather do it on a totally different, new game.

  You know, I might be mistaken here, but don't these models look an aweful lot like the one's from Vindictus? Got nothing against that, just saying. And to be quite honest, I didn't really see anything that caught my eye. All they really did was present a rag-doll like physics engine and didn't really show much else beyond that. I know that the game is still in development, but it's not like they achieved something ground breaking. In fact, Havok has had a rather complex rag-doll physics engine for quite some time now and this kinda looks like a simplification of that. Still, it's nice to see that the game is being worked on. Would love to see more content like this.

  The whole point of what I just saw was that the graphics and model physics seem to have been given an INCREDIBLE boost from Mabinogi to Mabinogi 2. It's obvious that if you were paying too much attention to the physics of those boobs and are actually saying, "wow really?" is a clear sign that you need a slap applied to your face.

  I smell a huge boost in people going to buy new computers. Theres alot of people with bad computers playing this, a move to Mabinogi II would just be homg.
  
  Will this be a whole different game? Or will our characters be moved there. Ive heard rumors concerning this. :V
