i finally had a chance to log in today and have a play, i got to level 8, i had no idea what i was doing really because i dont understand a single bit of korean, that is the ONLY thing that was frustrating for me, that and i couldnt work out how you zoom in and out or screen lock (removing the icons and such) ... im sure il figure it out later. my thoughts so far: I LOVE IT, this game is both beautiful and well thaught out, the gameplay is a little confusing at first, but im playing on a laptop and that doesnt help, and i cant read korean, so that didnt help either, with a bit of screwing around i started to get the hang of it a bit, its both complex and simple, the battle style can be complex at times, but it just adds more to the game itself, i imagine at the higher levels this will only get better, quests are nice and simple, some offer exp, others offer items and useful potions. the scenery is just to die for, the weather dynamics are brilliant, best i have seen in a very long time, when it rains, all the characters and the ground and such get wet, puddles form and it looks amazing, when the rain stops, it slowly dries up in places, areas with lots of shadow take longer to dry up, this is such a lovely touch that makes the game feel more alive. there is NPCs EVERYWHERE, talking to eachother, trading, cooking, battling, scouting, the towns themselves are alive with AI life, the amusing part is when you run or bump into them, they stagger or trip up and give you a filthy look hahaha. there is animals all over the place, cats all over towns, wolves in forests, birds and monsters hiding in bushes, its great fun! everything has a voice, so talking to NPCs prompts dialog and sounds, i like this alot, its really nice to run past npcs and hear them talking to eachother. AND PARKOUR, climbing stuff is always fun XD I GET THE HYPE, SRSLY, this game lives up to it, its really nice, really crisp and the immersion is strong, with all the life and sounds, you can lost in this world and feel part of it. i cannot wait for the western release, this IS a game i will be playing, i love it, its easy to level up, it doesnt feel like a grind fest at all, the monsters are so varied and there is lots going on. my rating from what i have seen is 10/10, its a visual paradise full of life and adventure
