So I just watched the video

As much as I don't want to say this, I actually liked the little preview they had on their website. I remember making fun of this a few months back with the obvious over sexualization of the females, but WOW, I actually am drawn to the graphics and fighting style.  It looks like Dynasty Warriors and FF and such, which always will have a place in my heart.

 

So what's the ETA on this, how close or far are we from rocking this game?

Did you watch the extremely long video?  

The last one I watched was like 11min long if I remember correctly. 

The game looks damn good, imo.    But, I don't see sexuality bit you were referring to.    Are you sure you weren't mistaken for TERA?  That game is superior when it comes to over sexualizing the female characters.

Not sure if I watched the long one, took forever to load all of it, but it's the video on the home page of the game.

 

I honestly was not expecting what I saw, it actually looks like a lot of fun and exciting.

 

As for the sexualization

Well according to this http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/05/18/guild-wars-2-beta-coming-later-this-year-will-probably-release/

it was mentioned with GW2 for a 2012 release.

I speculate late 2012 for the west.

*Sigh* too far, I guess TOR and TSW will have to do for now

Pretty sure i have seen women that dont have big boobs in this game but that, of course, isnt a problem.

Guild Wars 2 and B&S are both coming from NCSoft.

Guild Wars 2 is more targeted at Western Audiences, B&S at the East. As such, Guildwars will first be released in the West, then it will be regionalized for the East, with a release there up to a year later. Vice Versa with B&S, which will first be released in the East, then Westernized for a release here within a year after it's launch in the East.

Good strategy for NCSoft. The extra wait for B&S in the West sucks for fans of the game here, but when we do get the game, it will have had several months of live time in the East for bugs and balance issues to be ironed out and new content to be added.

For GW2 fans, the B&S closed beta in Korea may be good news. It was hinted that GW2 might be ready for CB before B&S. So, even if B&S is ahead of schedule and GW2 behind schedule, I'm hoping it won't be too long before GW2 Closed Beta starts up in the West.

There seems a solid chance we may see both titles launch in their respective regions in the 4th quarter of 2011.

Well, that's exciting on both fronts!

 11 min isnt extemely long imo xD

 

anyway on the subject, I know too little about this game but it looks cool indeed.

FF9 and all dynasty warrior games are also some of my favs, lets hope there will be a beta soon so we can get a good glimpse of what the game is like.
