Lots of screenshots ahead

Soooooo started over with a new char on Siel this time! Jowah got a copy and we both joined a legion with Tay/Genko and a couple of their friends! Ended up making generic purple-haired girl with too much makeup again. I’ll work on a better char for retail, lol. Jowy is pressuring me to make a male, but they all end up looking so bad D::::::::::: All the male hair is… metrosexual.

Hope for lesbian weddings in-game! >.>

Anyway! On to the screenshots of doom!

Obviously, NCSoft stole FFXI’s amazing clamming system:

Dukati Mine, in the second noob zone:

Giving Jowah a private show:

Aion0691

Or… not so private show:

Aion0687

Jowy hiding her face! She forgot to put emo makeup on like me:

Aion0710

Finally tried crafting! This game makes me hate FFXI more and more. You get to keep a complete list of recipes you’ve “learned” and can craft multiple times in a row and afk without a bot.Also, you can actually make useful shit and not just throw money into it in hopes of reaching the max level and HQ’ing.

Some character creator fun… yes, I’ll probably buy FF13 solely because Vanille is adorable.

Aion0736

OMG LIZARD AWWWWW

Aion0744

Did a little lvl20 “raid” into Krall territory for the storyline quests:

Aion0760

Cool zone!

Aion0765

Way more fun actually grouping up and fighting your way through shit that can own you solo, rather than “sneak, invis, run to boss lulz”

Aion0768

HOLY FUCKING COCKPUNCH I LOVE THESE TURTLES

Aion0777

Back to raiding:

Aion0779

Some Belaur:

Aion0781

…and done!

Aion0787

Well… let’s take a break and play with character customization some more!

I really suck at making male chars… here’s Satan:

Aion0797

And a mulatto alien about to be smited by the first quest NPC:

Aion0809

…and George Lucas.

Aion0805

Let’s throw some (sorta, think she’s like 20?) loli into the mix:

Aion0822

Okay, back to the game! Some random Asmo attacked Jowah, so I nuked his ass:

Aion0827

AGOR SCOPEN

Aion0831

We went exploring a bit towards the end of beta. First major find was… this um… Cowbearpig?

Aion0834

Cool-ass mob… note the actual face below the false one:

Aion0841

More Asmos trying to attack us:

Aion0849

Where did they come from? Oh, hi thar:

Aion0853

Let’s see where this rift goes… HOLY SHIT VOLCANO

Aion0858

Fuck… you are fucking awesome, lizard. Wtf.

Aion0863

So godsdamn COOL

Aion0870

What the fuck is this… I don’t even…. huh?

Aion0876

Why do I find this shit cute?

Aion0877

Raped by an HNM crow… fun. I just just minding my own business when a shadow the size of a fucking F-22 passed over me.

Aion0883

boooooooobs.

Aion0885

Teleporting to the 4th or 5th zone for more exploration:

Aion0886

I fucking love the mob design in this game…

“Oooga booga ooga booooga!”

Aion0893

Cool-ass farm full of zombies and ghosts and more, bigger zombies

(Jowah got turned into one and tried to bite my ankle)

Aion0901

Yeah… not venturing any further into this place.

Aion0908

Found a weird umm… dome/force field of leaves near the outskirts of the jungle, full of tree-people and badass earth elementals:

Aion0923

Don’t move. He can’t see you if you don’t move.

Aion0935

…but he can.

Aion0939

Yup… beta ended with giant monkey rape! Oh well! Was fun. Nothing much new since last post; just providing some pretty pictures!

    Looks like your having a good time with this game!

    Keep em coming Kerb. You’ve already convinced me to pre-order. If the next beta weekend proves to be enjoyable I’ll probably be leaving FFXI as well.

    Is there anything you aren’t liking so far?

    I’m hoping it has some of the same “pull” that kept me logging into FFXI for the past 6 years.

    Gameplay-wise, I’m absolutely loving it. Although my only frame of reference is FFXI, so take that as you will. The story is pretty interesting, and all the little quests can be fun if you enjoy reading the dialog. Combat’s fun and active and there’s always something to do.

    My major concerns are the PvP aspect, which I’m not a massive fan of but trying to keep an open mind to, and the community. Aionsource forums are full of 12 year old A’murkan tards. I’m hoping that site is just Aion’s “alla” and a more mature community will evolve after launch. But hey, millions of kiddies didn’t seem to affect WoW too badly.

    If the higher end of the game is any decent the community thing will probably solve itself.
    In WoW you get around the maturity level by simply actively ignoring the majority of the playerbase. The US servers were a lot worse than the EU ones though.
