I'm really hooked on GF right now. It's a free MMORPG from Aeria Games and it uses an anime art style.

I think the thing that gets me the most is that your "pet," as you might say, does gathering and crafting while you take care of quests without having to worry about what they're doing. Every Sprite(pet) can be set to craft a certain weapon type, so that instead of wasting money on your arsenal, they gather the materials and make it for you. They also level up their skills that they need to do such, like mining and foraging. My Sprite levels up faster than me, so I end up trying to play catch up in order to use weapons that I can forge; at level 10 I could make a rifle that I had to be level 14 to use, arg.

But I love it, and it's only in beta right now. Check it out if you like anime style MMORPG's!

Game Play
 
For me, this game is exactly like WoW... in a very good way

Why?
1. most frustrating thing in wow was time management, to go around hunting for minerals and materials. Here, you can concentrate on leveling up and get your materials/items on the fly.

2. No need for "static Materials". Remember how WoW and other MMO's had anvils? looms? and forges? this time, u just ask ur sprite to craft. That means, no traveling back and forth, no "ugh, gotta go all the way back b/c my armor is out of date", and obviously no "...i cant belive i forgot about the anvil".

3. To sum up Point 1 and 2, this game gave me a good "memory-lane" experience when i first tried out WoW. Everything was short and simple in the beginning. Although i played this for a few hours, i honestly can say that now u can concentrate on grinding/questing WHILE harvesting all of those materials! pretty much saves lots 'o time


Out of my respect for those good MMO's, i give Grand Fantasia a good 9.3/10

Awesome! I like hearing good things about games I like to play. Hehe.
 
I use to love this game when it came out idk I stopped playing it thou ..
 
the graphics look kind of like ROSE, which i've really liked. the problem with mmorpgs for me is that it ends up not being worth the time invested. as in its great for the start and you get into it having lots of fun but then it starts taking way too much time to accomplish anything, to the point where you feel like you're not accomplishing anything.
im pretty much hitting this point with the mmorpg i've been playing, cabal. so i want and will probably test this game out, but i assume im going to hit the same point.

this is probably one of the reasons why i end up going back to CSS so much, quick enjoyable fun where you don't need to invest in HOURS upon HOURS of one tedious task just to get something done

probably why I had quit lol
 
ok i really must say i do like the graphics, because im used to them (from playing ROSE) and the upgrading and crafting seems VERY extensive, and i like that. However i do not find this game newbie friendly what so ever. Im confused as hell and so is everybody else around me on this noob island.
the game does not go through what you can do step by step and how to do it, so if you test this game be prepared to be googling lots of guides
 
Am lv 35 paladin and i can say its pretty easy to evolve in this game , with the sprite system , its easy to craft while lving.
 
except i can't really find any guides for anything either, sadly. so i don't know what skills i should get, how many i can get, what talents and how to get them and all that good stuff.
i guess i'll just walk around fight a couple things, not spend money and hope for the best haha

edit: ok im officially addicted to this freakin game that im in jeopardy of missing UFC!! oh boy

it seriously has for me, and im only level 20. the levels are actually coming pretty slow compared to other mmos i've played, however it doesn't feel like it. it doesn't feel like a grind and stuff like that, yet....i get the feeling that i can really put some time and effort into this mmo unlike others where i'll lose interest in a couple weeks easy...and i can feel that coming on when i play those.

the sprites crafting your gear as you level up is so amazingly integrated into the game. and boy does it make you money even at the beginner levels. right now my biggest issue is when you need to summon a quest boss you have to be close range, meaning as an archer i cannot use any of my long range attacks or ANY skills because if you run away it disappears. and that only happens like...6 times in 25 levels haha
 
Whoo looks good! I'll be downloading this once I get back from work. Anyways wanna go on vent and play together?
