Season 2 info has been coming out for a month or so now. Decided to give this forum a summary of what's to be expected.

A "female Lann", with a more defensive approach with less damage.

Pet system coming too. Mostly there to knock back enemies and give yourself a slight buff.

Story is set in a new seaside town, with a giant octopuss boss confirmed. And yes, you can enter buildings.

Level cap raised to 80.

Jumping added to normal (non XE) Vindictus.

Changes to existing content:

Lann, Fiona, and Karok will be revamped and Evie and Kai will also receive some tweaks. Skills that weren't used often will have their stats or action improved allowing the players a wider variety of choices.

Added a new system for players to be able to go back to a previously explored area unlike the previous linear system. This new method of moving around dungeons will be related with the new reward system and we hope it provides a more interesting gaming experience.

female Lann -interesting. I wonder when it will come to europe.
