[Translation] Interview with the Art Director

[Mark]

I ****en TOLD YA GUYS!

LAZAR BATTLES!

Btw jamie, thanks. That's a really awesome interview. Aion still has a polishing and work to be done to it. I'm kinda glad I don't have it yet, because I might be disappointed. And I'm almost glad we Americans/Europeans don't have a beta yet either, or we might tire of the game before it's ever released. Colored me excited again!

[Yakuzan]

I am not surprised because most questions people had were likely to be fixed, like he said did you guys except we'd leave character skating? The glows on armor sets and retractable maces thing was particularly interesting.

I get the feeling lots of people will role female gender characters XD.

[GrandKamikazi]

o_O. This interview just got me even more excited. So much customization (even voices OMG) and noobie equipment that looks high end? AWESOME! I alwasy hated being low level and wearing 'frayed' armor or 'tattered' armor. Now I can be noobish in style.

Plus u can customize ****ies...how big can u makem? lawl.

I dunno about the laser turrets tho...kinda ruins it 4 me, unless they fit in with the Aion universe. Not like some kinda Star Wars laser...

[Mark]

Oh course not a traditional LAZAR TURRET. Probably something that looks medieval. We'll see. I expect it to be awesome. Expect me to ***** them and use them against people on the ground, because I'm too lazy to get out of them and fight people.

[Kenshin]

thats some awsome news! best part is the body customization, at first i though of rolling a male but now, with the news am rolling a female asmodian! lol

[Shade]

Screw bricks, I'm going build a fort made of turrets

haha i just can't roll a female char, no matter how good the designers make them.. just feels, i dunno... ecky!

The male chars look pretty cool though, much better looking than other games tend to do

A medieval..."LAZAR TURRET"? How so Mark, plz explain. And yes Rekuja I agree. I don't like playin female chars...its just wierd, that if ur a boy and ure playin a girl...kinda icky, ya know? Plus all the pervs out there who can't get real punami go into the virtual world and strip their female chars and have them dance around cities...scary. (Still have those terrible memories of Stormwind on New Years.) >_<

Not sayin ure a perv Kenshin.

[Marchosias]

I was going to quote pieces that I liked, even started off doing it, but there are too many things in the interview that sound amazing... The customization, the description of how they designed characters (basically sold me on Elyos, even though I was leaning toward Asmo... having heard their goals in designing each race I think they did a phenomenal job, actually), nice-looking items early on that "level up(?)," the balaur design and lineage, and the interviewee seemed pretty amusing, too. I can just imagine his wife slapping him over a bad design, lawl.

Thanks again, Jamei.

First off, think of a conventional gun battery on a WW2-era battleship, complete with seat and fire controls/targeting crosshairs. Now imagine it being made of engraved stone. And shooting LAZARS.

[Knite]

Mark totally called it. Sci-Fi Fantasy Aion complete with PEW PEW lasers.

I like that the Balaur as a race will resemble different 'lizard-type' beings. As he said, Lizard Men, Naga, and conventional western dragons.

[jameinkaiser]

lol i think itd be fun to have turrets. im sure NC will make sure not to make them look anachronic. the interview is with the ART DIRECTOR after all :]

edit: which reminds me, doesnt WoW: BC have 'laser turrets' in outland??
