It seems like it has more features relevant to an Elder Scrolls game.  Action combat, mounted combat, housing, seamless world, plus the aesthetics are similar.  It has a very western, almost Tolkien-esque look.

They need to work on character models animation and combat skills before I would even call that western influenced personally.

You could always tell them on facebook. Even though they are a korean company, they actively reply in English and answer any questions and feedback on their game's progress.

I at least have to see one Korean MMO that doesnt suck, then we can talk about the future of MMO's.  Yes ive seen all the turds that have come out of their dev houses, and still waiting for ONE that doesnt A socially creep me out, B insult my intellegence, C bore me to tears, D hurt my eyes to look at or E have the movement control of a pregnant cow.  At this pont they need to stick to making cartoons and point and click browser games.  And Im pretty sure AA is going to disappoint a boat load of people as well.

Why do you make it sound wrong that a Korean developed game has Eastern written all over it?

And if by 'work on their animation' you mean make them more stiff and grounded to the Earth to simulate realism, then HELL NO.

Everything else in that video looked horrible, except for mounted combat, which of course almost made me start up Mount&Blade again.. But yeah, over epic animations, super skills and the whole action-JRPG package = not my cup of tea.

Long story short: Looks nothing like TES.

PS. Now that I went through it again quickly, I can instantly tell that those bright flashes with every swing of the sword give me a headache. Oh god if I would have to suffer such for a good 1 - 5 hours gaming session. :(

PPS. Actually, the mounted combat looks too fast and twitchy button mashing, instead of strategy, skill and execution.

You mean they dont move like a hunched spastic like TESO characters?

The graphics engine is horrible - the way objects pop in and out as you get closer to them (to swap textures) is horrible.

Also the flickering textures, in the distance... yiykes.

Not good.

Archeage is CryEngine3 which is about 100x better than whatever crap is used in this game.

AA is also on rails quest grinder, with tab target combat  1+2+3+4 spam that crap has been in MMOs since EQ, No ty.

Almost all upcoming MMOs have actipny combat.

ArcheAge doesnt look that impressive if you watched some streams from open beta you would see that game is nothing like trailers charachter models are also bland and boring.....

I will take Black Desert anytime before AA, and it has more sanbox elements than AA.

Um.....Err....No......? The character models don't look any more eastern than they do western..they're proportionate and look ultra-realistic. Are you assuming they won't have any sort of character customization so that you might make characters who look oriental vs caucasian etc....??? Because otherwise I don't see what you're saying about them having eastern written all over them.

This is why every western release of the past 3 years has played like crap. I don't want life like models at the cost of life like game play.

Teso=test

BD=BD

I see no similarity or attempt to plaigarize the elder scrolls franchise here.

On a side note BD doesnt look that bad. Korean mmorpgs>ALL. This is what 2012/2013 has taught me.
