Pretty good trailer. I liked the early game play of the Japanese version, but the language barrier made it too hard to figure out if the overall game was great. I couldn't figure out how to do a lot of things or complete many quests.
The art is beautiful, but with the wide array of new western releases in 2007 (Vanguard, Conan, Pirates, possibly WaR and some others I'm missing), I don't know if this is really the year for an import. They tend to have much better launches in the off-periods when theres nothing new to try. Right now it seems that the largest niche of Asian MMO fans is the PvP/PK crowd (Lineage 2 and it's cousins RF Online, Archlord, etc), and GE is limited in it's PvP to duels (albeit really awesome duels with 3 characters per player and lots of tactics involved). Maybe I'm underestimating the non-"zomg open pvp kill everyone political metagame" FFXI people~
edit: changed my broad sweeping description of FFXI players.

Hmm....I saw my boyfriend "playing" this about a month ago.
He logged on, moved his little team of 3 to a certain spot, and then went to watch TV.
His fearless trio would fight on against the endless spawn of mobs, SLOWLY levelling and occasionally dying.

Yeah, I remember playing this in Japanese and being completely lost.
Maybe it'll make more sense in English.

Wohoo! Beta begins!
Unusual in that there is no mention of an NDA in what I have access to so far. Of course I'm at work, so no details either way.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

It looks like Lineage II with pirate paint.
I think I'll try Pirates of the Burning Sea first.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I was 80% through piece 4 and 35% through 5 and they both crapped out. Bullshit. Just make it one big download.

Is it open and they hate me or are you just lucky and got an invite for closed beta?

I left it to download overnight. 01 is corrupt and 02, 03 and 04 don't exist. Except they do.  |

I torrented the ones I could. Didn't have any problems with the 2 files I couldn't torrent. Don't know why they weren't torrentable. It just meant they were MUCH slower to finish.
Once they were all done, I moved them all into their own little temp folder, double-clicked the exe file, and it installed quite easily.
But yeah, the download method sucked. They better fix that if they want to do digital distro on release.
It's ok so far. But it feels very Lineage-y. As in, run into quest area. Run around finding a space with spawns not already claimed by another group. Park self and grind until quest complete.

I had thirty minutes to play last night.
I love the outfits. The barracks where you collect characters is interesting. The music is great, but I imagine it will get repetative. The gameplay is almost completely automated.

Yes. It's kinda pretty (I'm a costume whore), but rather...pointless. I feel no drive to do anything. |

Thanks to advice from a wonderful person named MinaAu, I downloaded Gigaget and was able to get the whole mess done in a flash with no problems at all.

Granado is not Granola!
When I think of 'Granado Espada', I think of 'Grand Spade'. Or something.
Which could really bizarre, or horribly bad, if you think about it.
