It seems the new patch will be called 1.5 due to the massive ammount of content being added, one of the new things to look for is the customization feature, which gets expanded once again:

NEW HAIRS


NEW FACIAL TEXTURES

I'd still rock it on my little gnome.

They all look pretty good, tho, 'cept the fro. Which really looks out of place, but the rest of it, especially the facial textures, look great.

Nice looking game that's for sure.  Can't wait to see what the gameplay is like.

For gameplay, Youtube is your friend.

Amazing how much you can find on Youtube for a popular game that has been released over seas for a year, and has had public NDA free Betas in NA/EU.

I'm still on the fence about Aion... might be worth playing till FF XIV comes out...

The NA/EU release is going to be "caught up" to the Korean/Chinese right? Like, if they are at 1.5 it'll release here at 1.5?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Cloud have moved to Aion.

 

No one else thinks that the first hair picture reminds of Cloud from FFVII?

What came to mind when I see some of these:

Cloud Strife

Afro Ninja

Chun Li

Riley Mas*** (parental advisory on that last last name (actually the person in general))

George Cloney

lol

They all look great, but like one said, that afro could look a bit more realistic, but I would still rock it. I was wondering why they put in corn rows, but not an afro (or low cut) in the first version. It would be nice if they did the maxwell afro

LOL, don't forget Cloud Strife, Coud Strive, Cloud Striffe, Cld Strife, Cloud Strive, etc. I think the Matrix Online did it worse....The One, Neo, Ne0, Teh One, The 1, #1,

I'm not sure that's the case.  In fact, I'm not sure anyone knows what version will be released here (and correct me if I'm wrong, if you've read something that details otherwise).  I'm hoping for 1.3.  I would love to release at 1.5 (and who knows, there's still 2 months till release), but I think we'll be a bit behind Korea in the updates, so I'd love to see 1.3 with a move to 1.5 months later, after the game has soaked in a bit.   However, if they're offering look changes (ie. hair, face), then 1.5 would be ideal for a release, I would think.

Giving players more choices ( for *anything* ) is always a smart business move.

Good move, Aion!

Heh, thats the first thing I thought of, and I didn't need to see how they handled his hair in Advent Children to think that either!

 

As for the afro, I can't remember exactly where I read it, but it was a while back. An afro is harder to implement and look great instead of a "circle with textures" simple because of how it looks...

Now, if they had an actual "Afro Samurai" Afro, that would be bloody awesome, but this is fine too, and its not like you are going to be staring right into it all the time...

 

Now if only they gave us a choice of having a small chicken-like yellow bird in it...

And I'd expect the same Puma, I'm sure they've probably been working on different versions of the patch at the same time, or at lease close. It would be great to have the 1.3 patch at release in NA, simply because it seems like a change to help leveling, and in general fits NA nicely. The game isn't that bad of a grind so far, its actually enjoyable having to work to level 9, instead of killing 4 mobs and hitting the next one. And the fact that gathering gives you small bits of xp actually encourages you go for a node if its close. At the start, you get 60 per gather, not node, and each one generally gives you 3 clicks if you are lucky (there is a chance to fail that lowers as your skill goes up).

^^ I definitely noticed that.  After playing games like WoW and LoTRO and WAR, I was thinking that I could just roll through the first few levels.  But, when I attacked those Spriggs, one after the other and suddenly noticed, after my third one, I was about to bite it, I thought, "Man, I haven't felt vulnerable in a game in a long time."  It was refreshing to think that those small spriggs could kill me if one wanted to aggro me.  It was refreshing to -have- to use a bandage rather than just wanting to burn through my bandages.  It felt like work again (but fun - rewarding) - not blind hack-n-slash.

If you think thats hot try crafting after harvesting up around 100-200 of a material, in my case iron ore.  Go pick up a trade skill and sit at the forge getting free exp galore.  Higher levels isn't as easy but 400 per craft, +100 skill,  is still hard to turn down.

Nice little tidbit, the game will release for NA with this patch

 

And I'll try that Vall, though I might end up going with more than one crafting skill if I have the kinah for it, cause im bloody sure I wont hit 200 ore heh

It has to be true, i have internet links.

Totally, I'll probably try this once if they make it easy to change looks (I've heard you can change sex in game).

But looks like I can finally role play as Cloud!
