Korean MMORPG hits pay dirt in Japan

É verdade que o DJ Tiësto foi quem produziu as musicas deste jogo?! o.O

More then 100000 players were join in Thailand in the first week. It's will happen again in all country in south east asia.

well its on beta and just like ragnarok it will take some time before reaching us/Europe but i doubt they will not get it here....this game is going to be amazing sure the graphics arent top end but come on is WoW and does anyone really care about graphics now days....gameplay matters and this has it, creating a unique form of gameplay whereby I am always a party of 3 makes it new and fun, seriously no longer will fight be 1 ended i.e fighters are best damage dealers , it will be about support of the other 2 etc. as well as the graphics how can you overlook the fact that it is set in an unique area.....no more fantasy castles of oriental looks, its 18th century Europe....something thats rarely if ever done......this is going to rock the world of MMO

i was awating this game on pins and needles. then the english site got taken down. i was crushed.

Great game

Well, it is true that a lot, and I mean a lot (look at Ragnarok, Guild Wars, etc.) of good MMORPGs come from Korea, but it is a surprise that an MMORPG got a 100K beta testers in just 7 hours.

Took a look at some screens, color me unimpressed.

what happened? there was an english site at one point then it just dissapeared...

cool i guess.

http://flaregamer.com/b2article.php?p=102&more=1 preview it's gonna be the next big thing with a player has a stable of characters of which they can swap back and forth for their party they can sell buy capture new character for that stable... graphic /skill / etc all great this is what u call the next gen MMORPG unlike WoW - copy cat of others for MMO virgins

Don't play more than 3 hours or you might get shot.

QUICK FAQ: the big detail you need to know here is henchmen. You are *always* a tribe of one, with 3 character avatars at your control full time in Granado Espada. You swap between them during gameplay, so you can have a healer, fighter, slower - etc., all yours. And I think 3 people can form a (non-raid) group, so it's a group of 9 characters (3 x 3). Sort of cool. They also plan to treat the avatars like a type of loot, to minimize farm & sell, so players can swap characters between each other - auction house style. Characters will keep the name given to them and certain traits. Besides that, expect a really stylized alternate universe renaissance-era visual theme, with Korean sensibility in character art.

It looks pretty ugly for a new pc game... Final Fantasy on the PS2 looks way better than this.

That's a woah lot of people for seven hours. It really sucks that it's not coming to the states.

not bad for 7 hours...

I saw the link and I thought "Finally, some attention for Maple Story!" I was disappointed ;_;

Its "ok", its like a cross between Diablo 2 and an MMO. Point click and attack. ~Yes I played it.~

100,000 is a heck of a lot of people... the Japanese do love their MMO's don't they? ;)

U all are so bious... All you people care about is just blowing stuff over and kill innocent people in the streets... You guys don't like MMORPGs... but Japanesse don't like Action or bloody games. That is why xbox 360 doing poorly in japan. u guys always complain about how japaneese people can't understand american games.. well you guys can't under their games either... So what? Chewwedpenny... I am talking to you..

That's pretty good. 100,000 in seven hours. I don't think i can count that high in seven hours. :D

The graphic visuals really look nice but at the same time its not my kind of mmo. Good for them though...

wait link has alredy been posted. my bad.

Heres the link http://ge.hanbiton.com/

Umm, Guild Wars didn't start life in Korea. NCSoft is Korean, but they only funded Guild Wars. ArenaNet, the company that actually made Guild Wars, is American. Back on topic, drawing 100,000 beta testers in 7 hours is not an indication of success...yet. Those 100,000 people may just want to see what the game is about and if it's any good. The amount of people who actually end up subscribing to the game will determine whether it's successful or not.

Why is there no GameSpace for "Granando Espada"? I wanna have a look at these production values. I imagine it's more J-RPG like than most. EDIT: if it does do well, it will make the trip over here. Guild Wars started life in Korea, as have other big names. This game does look pretty sweet. http://ge.hanbiton.com/

good thing it's gonna be released in america.... oh wait.... it's not. good story.
