What other games have mind shattering creatures of the uncanny valley lurking within? This image from an RPS article about the game is pretty hilarious: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01/26/ncsoft-seek-to-prevent-us-release-of-tera/ Because it's how pictures of this game make me feel.
Supposedly the Elin and another race were custom tailored for tastes of Japanese audience, since Korean games had lot of trouble with gaining any foothold there. Japanese apparently prefer very cute characters in their games. Allegedly it worked, as these two races are the most common choices for Japanese players. Given this supposed success i'm not sure if it's as much "terrible character design" as opposed to simpler "oh, Japan".
What I want to know is if that's an actual character design or exists purely for mockery. The fact that this is a question I think shows just how fucking ridiculous character design has gotten.
Mini gun barrels rotate pretty fast. You can't hold it on part of the rotating barrels part. I'm giving that costume an F. Also, why is the dude in Keldroc's pic wearing heels?
