Aion
southerndoom:
I betad it and plan on giving it a shot.
Graphics are just amazing.Very beautiful.
Game play is fairly standed mmo,i like the chain combo attacks.
Questing is well questing its pretty standed,like the cut scenes and voice over work.
It now has english voices and more westernized looks.Which was a much needed improvment.
Slysoft:
The english voices are fail. Luckily the ability to patch over them is still available, however there may be a day where my beautiful asian voices no longer work, and rather the terrible sailor moon english dub / avatar the last airbender-esque voices take their place :(

Doubtful. The endgame consists almost entirely of PvP, and there are relatively few 12-man or higher raids at endgame (most of it is 6-man stuff). The gear is not bound by class, only armor/weapon proficiency. All classes are useful in PvP, and there isn't really anyone who's so weak or so strong that they throw everything off-kilter.

Although, I can see myself regretting paying $100+ after getting bored of it in a few months. Given it's korean, I fear that it is another grindfest MMO as well. /shrug

There is a small grinding element after level 25, but that's really more for Abyss Points than anything else. You won't find yourself grinding hundreds of mobs just to level up. There are enough quests that grinding is a rather small element of the game (though it is there). And would you really regret spending $100 on something that you'll likely spend hundreds of hours in? MMO's have always struck me as providing a surprisingly high cost:entertainment ratio. As opposed to most console games, which you'll spend $60 bucks on, play for 12 hours, and then never touch again. Though really, that's an argument for/against MMO's in general, not just Aion.

Ayase decided to answer this on his twitter.

Good to know, thanks. Not as long as we initially thought. :(
