Its Japans Superman!!! And His MMORPG Kamehameha!!!

"Growing up and watching ANIME one series probably stands out amongst the rest even till this day. Yup 99% of you probably guessed it right its DRAGON BALL"



Yup its Goku hes an alien from the planet Saiyan before it was destroyed he was launched into space by his father and landed on earth where he was raised by humans, Growing up he protected the Earth from the hands of the Evil Red Ribbon Army to the One of their creations Cell which later killed him but just like Superman he resurrected to defeat his enemy and continue to protect the earth.





Yeah probably everybody knows about him but not everybody knows Dragon Ball Online.Yup their making an MMORPG and yes it ties closely related to the series unlike the live action movie (I never watched it LoL! because i know its bad)




Dragon Ball Online will take place 216 years after the events of the MANGA series. So most characters will probably be gone asides from a few faliliar ones like the Nameks who may live for quite some time (Piccolo)


An evil organization called The Dark Eye are time meddlers who are changing the past just like the evil wizard bibid. Members of the organization are under mind control instead of an "M" on their foreheads they are marked with an "X" nobody knows the true identity of The Dark Eye Group



Its the players task to repair the damage in the time stream done by The Dark Eye group. Another familiar character the time traveling trunks helps you with the aid of his time machine





What greatly impresses me is that the story of Dragon Ball Online will be a direct sequel to the true Dragon Ball series written by Akira Toriyama and has complete creative control over the game. All other series not related to the original work will be ignored like the live action movie (LoL! Again)



"Currently there are three races too choose from the following are."



Humans: Which seem to be the all around characters and they also have three current classes available Martial artist, Spiritualist, and the Engineer



Nemekians: From the planet Namek the race of Piccolo they currently have two classes available the Dragon Clan which focused more on healing. And a warrior class that focuses more on melee combat asides from green you can also choose purple or blue Nemekians



Majin: The same race as Majin Buu they live in an unknown planet much is unknown about how this race will play out but it has been mentioned they will be playing as support type characters they have currently two classes Large Majin and Strange Majin

Reaching Level 30 you may choose your master class and transform to you adult form*





The combat system features


Each character will have an indicator for HP well thats simply Health points if it goes down to 0 your deadEP also known as energy points or as you may simply call it mana and RP or Rage Points which is the unique feature in the game its suppose to indicate the characters mental state (???) and accumulates during combat when players complete quests, skills that require RP will also be upgraded. when the RP meter gets full you will be given an RP ball below the meter using RP on skills will increase the effect of power attack skills and extend and improve the effectiveness of buffs

(Phew!)

Not only that RP also has other benefits and uses like, HTB skills once your RP reaches a certain level you may gain a HTB skill if you. If your in the eligible level up to six RP balls can be stored, when casting a HBT skill the number of RP balls will affect the Success rate of the combat so spend them wisely

Rather than explain more of the combat i think it will be better for you to see for yourself since explaining it will probably take me longer to than write my entire Blog all over again

XD






"Chain combos and Chains skills and fast pace combat there's so much stuff going on its not you’re typical hack and slash MMORPG"





Since this is an MMORPG expect there to be different types of armors and weapons both melee and ranged. Likes swords axes and guns and other weapons specific to the race and class there will also be a PVP feature in the game






The game will also feature a number of mounts and vehicles. Maybe its just me but when Goku was still a little kid there more vehicles and gadgets like hovering scooters plains thigh tech motor bikes, etc. Bulma had all the rides I always wished I had those capsules. Throw one to the ground for an instant cottage :D These vehicles can be seen in game again and used as mounts. There are no level restrictions and as early as the game starts you may obtain one for yourself. However the mounts will use fuel so better have money for gas





Dragon Ball Online still is scheduled supposedly for 2010 but will be initially launched in Japan and Korea they have already started close beta so im not expecting a release date soon if Uncharted Waters took 5 years to reach global shores im sure its worth the wait. Or you can always cheat and jump in the Korean servers well that's kinda not my style. But yes this game is a definite play when it gets released and im sure it will be coming soon since its a world renowned title hope its global I hate IP restrictions but since Net Marble is the Publisher expect a global release similar to UWO :D

Big Download + Long wait = Worth it !






"The Client for Uncharted Waters Global has finally been released it was just a few minutes delayed due to some technical difficulty so they say."


Its A whopping 3.20Gb installer and would probably eat about 10Gb of HDD space so if your planning on playing the game on the 25th better download it in advance.


Its not the biggest file I Have downloaded but probably the largest free to play MMORPG out and it seems the Japan servers have already released 2-3 expansions so this is small compared to what they got





I cant wait !!! already got me a crew to play on the first day of launching tho I haven't thought of a character name yet that usually takes me some time to think since its something permanent ill post it so if your gonna play, you can be part of my crew and call me captain hardy har har!!!



You can download the game client here

The Ultimate Moster MMORPG From Japan

Hello im back! And just like the servers of Japans "Monster Rancher Online" which shut down last October 2008 they returned to bring back an even better game just this January 2010. Introducing"Monster Farm Lagoon Online" with new avatar features and better graphics and of course new monsters. Sadly I wasn't able to get ahead of the IP block that they recently implemented :(
I was such a fan of this game when It was first released on the Playstation I probably stuck a gazillion discs inside just to find out what kind of monsters are hiding in my discs. The online game seems to have this feature also which is great and from the looks of it the monster trainer is going to be part of fights. One element of monster rancher that I really hated was the short lifespan of the pets it seem that this will be eliminated in the online version too *sigh* such a great game by the looks of it but sadly only in Japan. The monster rancher servers have been up since quite some time why don’t we get any of them heck we get the Playstation versions :( *sigh*

Sadly I can no longer do daily updates but ill still be doing them I want to focus more time on gameing since I recently started Pandora Saga on the Malaysian servers my characters name is “Aliciah” if your interested check out the old entries see you there it’s a grindfest but people are nice and the population is low and peaceful

"Aki of the Kingdom Faction"

Anything more Japanese than a Gundam MMO?

"SD-Gundam capsul fighter online" how cool would it be to be able to use your favorite Gundam from all centuries to battle out online. Well if you love Gundam well then it would be SUPER COOL!!!. Browsing around on my free time (which obviously have a lot of) and looking for those great exclusive games we all want to play I found this game.
The game is very simple really. You are given a Mobile Suite at the start and you battle it out with your basic MS to earn gold to "Gacha" for more suits (Similar to Gachapon or Yujin where you put money in and turn the knob to get a random toy in a round capsule I collect these XD) for more MS, and eventually you can also build your own MS using special plans
The games interface is similar to a MMOFPS with 3 battle modes
Individual training mode: For the Nubs
Group Mission Mode: Yup the game isn’t restricted to battles there’s like armored core missions 2-4 players may be in a group.
PVP mode: This is obviously where you fight other players 7 players may battle it out on free for all or as a team there are also three other modes in PVP the standard mode where you just respawn and kill till the time limit the death match mode where you have a set number of life and the most fun mode the battle ship mode where you can store 2-4 of your MS in your battle ship and use them sort of like a tag battle you can switch Gundams like King of Fighters or Marvel vs. Capcom each Gundam is worth 10 point if there are still MS battling on the time limit the one with the highest points win. this is the mode that requires more strategy and is most fun
The game controls are simple and easy to learn it’s just like a MMOFPS but there is an auto aim function which you can switch on and off since some weapons are better to use with the manual aim
The only thing I really don’t like in the game is the SD "Meaning super deformed" or if you prefer the chibi-Gundam models this game would be perfect if they used the regular sized ones but this game is worth a try ill post a link teaching you how to register if your interested and it also includes a few guides.

My Pandora Saga Weekend

Well today, I’m going off topic and not showing a game but I want to talk about a game I’ve shown previously "Pandora Saga" it’s sort of like a review since I got a lot of views on that topic
I downloaded the client which was about 900+Mb so almost a Gig there was a manual patch for only 5Mb while the game still had to patch it wasn’t so bad just a few min about 10min well that depends on your net mine sucks so it should be ok
I then proceeded to login and created my first character "Aliciah" so if you want to pm me in game sure! Character creation was very simple you just get to choose the hair, hair color, and face I made a fighter since it’s the basic class on most MMORPGs
The graphics of the game weren’t so bad really and I kind of liked it though most of the character models look the same it seem that the most dominant race in the game player wise is the Ekidnu those hell boy looking giants and nobody seems to like using the dwarves
The start was very simple it’s like the early quests are tutorials. yes I knew that there will be little quests in the game and honestly they are very unrewarding they give so little XP and gold your just better of grinding it’s like talk to the NPC when you’re in town and grind you’ll eventually accomplish the quest unintendedly
The in game community isn’t so bad people will approach you to chat i really hate it when your just starting and the noobs are asking for money from you well I didn’t encounter it in the game
Though there was, a low population to where I was seems like it’s the noob town. Yes the low level population is very low and I occasionally see the high level guys just zoom past you. so I guess you’ll see the other people only when you get to a higher level which I kinda like so the map isn’t congested
Well I started to leave town and just swatted some monsters I was doing this while watching season 5 of the office :) so yup i was on anti-social mode and what can I say its a grinding game the Japs do love the traditional RPG theme where you grind go back to town sell your loots grind again well I don’t have a problem with this theme I actually enjoyed it and I will play this game till the game I’m waiting for comes out I haven’t joined a faction yet and haven’t really done much so i guess there’s more stuff to do in the game I just haven’t made it yet but I’m enjoying myself and I haven’t watched season 6 of the office I’ll watch it while playing this :)
I'll do a game tomorrow

Lucent heart a zodiac based game in Japan (Best Rookie MMORPG)

"Lucent Heart" another amazing MMORPG from Japan this game has been very successful there it even won the best rookie MMORPG and they have recently started there servers full time (meaning it’s not in the beta stage anymore) and launched this game in Taiwan also
The game focuses on the Zodiac system think "Saint Seiya" or "Final Fantasy Tactics" and makes very well use of this unique feature which I will explain later on first i want to do the basics of the game and the job classes here are a list of available classes in the game each basic class can choose from two branches once they reach a certain level
Physical Attack:
Fightercan advance to either:
  • Gunner (ranged attacker)
  • Knight (melee attacker)
Knightcan advance to either:
  • Paladin (defensive melee attacker)
  • Templar Knight (offensive melee attacker)
Gunnercan advance to either:
  • Ranger (party supportive range attacker)
  • Sniper (offensive orientated range attacker)
Magical Attack:
Mage can advance to either:
  • Priest (supportive)
  • Magician (offensive)
Priestcan advance to either:
  • Prophet (enhanced buffing skills)
  • Bishop (enhanced healing skills)
Magiciancan advance to either:
  • Wizard (offensive orientated caster)
  • Sorcerer (party supportive caster)
Other Basic features of the game are the "Pet System" which is common in almost every MMOPRG but this is more complex since the pets are all unique from each other in the sense that they level up and have different skills and evolve almost like a "Pokémon" another one is the "Mount System" which you can share with your partner another feature I will explain later on since this game is very complex.
Okay now here is the unique feature of the game the "Zodiac System" or the Horoscope if you prefer you get to choose preferably your own "Constellation" this affects you characters in many ways and also affects the game play , such as daily luck, the constellation story, individuality and emotion. The daily luck is more or less your astrology forecast for players. These, in turn, will affect the combat ability, relationship, crafting luck, element and item drop rate for the player.
Not only that, different constellation elements have different set of talent skills too.
Every horoscope has different types of ability boost and special skills, which match certain classes. An example is that Leo is able gain 60% more critical damage in return for 5% less critical chances. Some of the other skills include a skill that adds 20000 defense for 30 sec at the cost of 1% HP and MP per second. Of course, judging by the name, Leo should resemble a tanker kind of role, which means that these skills will match nicely with the player’s desired constellation.
Casting a spell on the enemy or hitting him with an element is also quite complicated if you cast a water spell on the enemy it will cause an element change casting fire on him will cause reduced damage while electricity will increase damage
Another advance feature in the game is the "Cupid System" which you can see other players Zodiac and see if your compatible are not the (Japanese really are into this thing even blood type matching)
So meaning there is also a marriage system in the game and by looking at the screens it looks really well done with a ceremony and kissing XD
Having a partner also gives out unique skills and privileges such as being able to enter date dungeons and bonuses during party battles. The skills though still have to be unlocked by obtaining cupid points so expect to share a lot of time with your partner you can share a mount and hunt together all day roaming the lands XD
The graphics of the game look really good. Characters have expressions which are also affected by the day and zodiac there is also dancing and emotions you can do the game has almost everything even an auto loot system the even small map is done very well. This is definitely one game I want to play on an English server hope we get one soon
"Or if you can read and speak Japanese heres the link to register its free to play also for those who just don't care and wanna try it XD (no guide this tome :( )"
