Two of my friends bought the game to get into the betas and then cancelled and got their money back. I was going to join them but when I saw I had to buy a monthly sub with that right away, it really put me off from getting it.
Looks like I am waiting for Guild Wars 2 instead.

They have a race that is basically a preteen girl prancing around showing her panties. This is one of those games that is NOT going to help the reputation of gamers in general and MMOs specifically.
I mean, really, what kind of market are they going for here. Do they not think, for a moment, that that is a bad idea?

Yeah, it's kind of disturbing to be honest. Look it up on Youtube if you want to see.FranBunnyFFXII said:
To be entirely fair... I wouldn't say they are "promoting" loli, perhaps it's just one of those many situations with anime style games not feeling they have to change their aesthetic for western markets.FranBunnyFFXII said:
Don't know anything about them lying to the community, the aesthetic of the game made me not interested enough to follow it.
World of Warcraft is as 'guilty' with worgen, and I don't see the problem with the elin, it's a cultural thing. Just a case of western audience backlashing angrily at something harmless and normal inFranBunnyFFXII said:
I find it very hard to take it seriously when somebody claims that a certain aspect of a game is perfect.Pancho Agdeppa said:
Speculation leads to disappointment.
Attractive women in games nowadays are about as common as good graphics.
Something tells me this game will be overshadowed by Guild Wars 2.
The direct combat is very fun and rather precise; it's the strongest aspect of the game, as I see it. The visuals are quite gorgeous, too. Too bad the story sucks and the questing system is the usual run-of-the-mill stuff - I found myself not caring about anything story or quest related after only about five minutes of playing. And as much as I like both the combat and the art style it's not enough to keep me interested, especially when a subscription fee is involved.
So far GW2 looks noticeably more appealing to me.

I really enjoyed the beta, I've preordered it and can't wait for it to be released, I usually don't like MMOs too much but this one has really good combat.
I actually knew it was Korean, don't know why I wrote Japanese, my bad. And I put guilty in apostrophes to signify that I found that complaint questionable.FranBunnyFFXII said:
With regards to loli, I don't find it questionable. For one, people need to grow up about seeing panties. It limits character design, and it's not really a problem. Hell, Amy in the sonic series is 12 and you can constantly see her panties, so we should of grown up accepting it. They've not sexualised it, they're just there. For another, I'd say the characters (from what I've seen) are Moe, not loli.
[small]And that a victimless crime isn't really a crime so I don't have a problem with lolicon, but that's a can of worms to be opened another time[/small]
Doesn't sound that great, pretty much just another MMO except this one happens to have slightly different combat or something.
The main attraction from what I could tell was the attractive women which are not exactly uncommon in games nowadays.
Not sure what the fuss about Loli is. It doesn't hurt anyone so im not sure why you speak of it like it's a bad thing.
