Kotaku's Hands-On Preview of Aion - Page 2

I like the fact that slowly but surely NCSoft is finally moving into the Western phase of the game.

Kieron, is NCSoft planning on releasing full music tracks for some of the tunes included in the game? I love the samples you guys have at the main site, but they really leave you drooling for at least 10-20 seconds more of that amazing music!

I honestly don't know what the plans are, but I will certainly check into the plans (or lack thereof) of an Aion soundtrack release.

Nice!! That would be awesome, this game has, by far, one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard (well, besides the Final Fantasy ones, which are Pwn..hehehe)

dalin · 08-15-2008, 07:05 PM

^^agreed... i would definitely buy the soundtrack for Aion...

assuming of course its not a part of the CE, which i have a sneaking suspicion i will be buying...

Aion alone will be like christmas, add in the CE and it's like christmas two times.

That was a fun-to-read article with great fresh steamy screenshots!

I haven't seen the new asmodian wings in these screenshots though, are they not implemented in that version of the game yet?

I'm falling in love over and over again.

I like his skeptical view on things ^^

There have been a number of comments about the appearance of the Asmodian wings in recent screenshots and videos. As noted, dark and feathered wings were introduced for the Asmodians in the most recent CBT but they are not the only wings available to Asmodian characters. There are wing customization options available for both factions and you can expect to see these options appear in future screenshots and videos.

Sure about that ? I know it was intended but as nothing has been revealed on the subject for a while...

dalin · 08-18-2008, 11:42 AM

well thats interesting... i think most of us assumed the wings had been entirely replaced (either from beta feedback, or just a change in artistic direction)...

its great to see that it could just be a matter of player choice...

Wing customization?! Hurray!
What Elyos can do? change colours or types of feathers?
