That looks horrible. Men can be sexy without it being trashy and ridiculous.

I prefer the Enix approach. Both men and women have options that show off their bodies without losing what makes them men and women.
Then again I also like traditional gender roles (sue me) so masculine males will always do it for me more than a man in a dress.

HAH! XD
This is awesome.

The South Korean approach to the problem of sexualization of women in games has always been to sexualize everyone. I do like FFXIV's approach but I'm used to this kind of thing in MMOs!
RE: Blade and Soul RP - V'aleera - 12-22-2015
Game seems fun, but the lore (what little I could experience in beta and what little is presented on the official site) seems a bit flimsy. I don't mind filling in the blanks to an extent, but some guidelines for naming at the very least would be really appreciated.

I support doing it that way. Too many people are afraid of sex for no good reason.

Yeah, the lore does seem really shallow. I was expecting the Cerulean Order vs. Crimson Legion conflict to play a much larger part in the lore, the main story seems to focus on the Hongmoon or whatever. I guess I never really got out of the "tutorial" part of the game, though. I didn't have much time to play this weekend.
Dammit, I want a game that will indulge my childhood kung fu fantasies.

Would anyone mind giving a spill on the game? I really like the concept, but the character designs and world visuals disgust me, as well as the somewhat disjointed flow of attack animations. But I'm still willing to give it a try anyway if someone has a good sales pitch.

Gameplay that delivers on all the promises TERA made but couldn't live up to.
I just checked out Age of Wulin, and it looks like it would have been really awesome fifteen years ago.

TERA billed itself as "God of War-esque combat in an MMO" and fell really short of that mark. I grew bored of the combat when it seemed more like WoW combat without auto-attack. Blade and Soul manages to come across much more like an action game, with air juggling and knockdowns, counters, and such. I was worried for a bit in Beta that the combat in B&S was taking a turn toward the TERA style, until something happened that blew my mind. Random trash mobs were using my own tactics against me. I had to start thinking about my battles instead of going through my standard combos and dodging when necessary. I had to put up a legitimate defense and come into a fight with a real game plan. Now, of course, these were just trash mobs, and beaten easily, but it's not a game you can mindlessly click through. Bosses were a real challenge, and I got my bell rung a lot when they pulled a combo on me that I wasn't expecting.
RE: Blade and Soul RP - Caspar - 12-22-2015
I wonder if watching the anime would give enough lore knowledge to rp.
I only saw a few episodes. Supposedly it was actually not too bad despite being promotional, but I couldn't judge from the minute exposure I had to it.
