How do you think about the question : If Aion and BnS open beta in same time, Which MMORPG do you prefer to play ? Or Simply, Which MMORPG do you prefer?

To solve it, we will analyse about some angles of this matter.

Technology and Graphic: CryEngine 1 vs Unreal Engine 3 and Developers : Studio 5 vs Team BloodLust.



Developers : Studio 5 vs Team BloodLust. How do you think ? So I think both are good, they know how to make an excellent MMORPG. With my sentiment, I won't compare BloodLust - who develop Lineage 2 for 5 years with Studio 5 - one of the best NCSoft's Studios. Some members of Studio 5 are from Team BloodLust. Conclude this angle, I only say : Both Aion and Blade & Soul were made by skilful developers.



Storyline : Occidental Mythology vs Oriental Legends
Next, I want to talk about storyline : Aion - Occidental Mythology (It can be a fictitious mythology but i want to emphasize that, so I call it : Occidental Mythology) vs BnS - Oriental Legends. Did you see any MMORPGs with Storyline are Oriental Legends ? How with Storyline is Mythology ? Answer : "very few MMORPG" for 1st question and "Some. Example : Lineage 2" for 2nd question. BnS storyline is so strange !


Normal Attack Style in Aion vs Amazing Attack Style in BnS
Okay, this is the last angle. I watched BnS trailer, all Aion trailers and Gameplay Movies. In Aion, Cast Skill is like other MMORPGs, but in BnS, there are more animation in attack skill (In Media Day interview , Bae say that "Game won't have skill-window on the bottom of the screen like other MMORPGs"). A perfect performance of NCSoft with BnS trailer, It looks like combo skills that no MMORPG has it. I really love it.

completely different games.Aion is just like every other mmorpg. BnS gona be something fresh.graphic doesnt matter so much

BnS looks sweet. From what i've seen there seem to be more freedom for the characters movement. And ofc BnS skill animation looks awesome and unique, while Aion only have a few skills that make you go "wow that skill looks f***in sweet!".
I just wonder about BnS char creation...I really doubt it will be as versatile as Aion.

dude bns is pretty great if same as shown in the videos, the videos surprised me

I don't know. I think BNS has more of an arcady combo hit kind of feel while Aion is definitely an mmorpg.

BnS all they way i watched the trailer and i nearly cryed of joy. I cant wait.

Aion should get those graphics, Even tho it already has good graphics :3

I would say that for now, Blade and Soul Looks better, but also that aoin is really beautifull. it goes down to how it play and that if your PC will be able to run it smothly

i hope BnS will not be something like Dekaron (2moons) type game.

Aion is more RPG than BnS

I fully plan to play both at some point.

Blade and Soul is in alpha testing right now in KR I have heard on IRC, devs say its like Perfect World with faster gameplay and much better graphics, now if you ever played Perfect World you know its a fast pased game especially in PVP so BnS might not be a good game for beginners, but I played Aion back in china's closed beta and it is good, a perfect game for all, but if I had to choose, I would pick BnS because I like fast paced hard mmo's.
