Well you're both owned by NCSoft, I don't see why some of the lineage 2 artists and graphics designers can come over to Guildwars to help with creating better environments/items/characters.

Would you care to explain that? There's nothing about GW's assassins that reminds me of anime.

Well duh, there's ninjas in anime, and assassins are clear ninjas, so assassins are anime, which results into the GW is anime!!1

Logical.

My reasoning comes from the fact that one can rarely move three feet before being confronted with a Naruto themed assassin. I actually thought "Hey these are some clever names" until my guildies told me that they were just stolen from some kids show.

Oh yes, because assassins simply don't exist IRL...

or in movies, or TV shows, or comic books...

Yes, they are directly and strictly anime. Right, gotcha.

NO! Fool! The names are not taken from anime! *lips continue moving*

Oh wow, since some silly narutards name their charas after the show they like, the whole GW turned into animefest?

There has been "anime-themed" names for ages before assassins.

L2's arts and graphic are not anime, but they lot more asian, like as in FF11. Lots skinny sharp jaw guys with pretty skin. GW is a bit in between, thought you can still see the influence of asian style in it as well. They might of share some art resource with NC soft, which explain the transformation from WoW-style to current style.

I think the two game should be differnt, else it would start overlaping each's market share.

But I won't mind banning all the Sasuke or Orochimarus.

If we're going to ban names, please start with all the names that are bracketed within letters. Those bother me a whole lot more than names based upon characters I've never heard of. (No anime for me thank you.)

On the other hand, sometimes I amuse myself by talking to those people.

Thank god, or who ever you worship,
Chapter 1 team is working on next chapter, factions was as much "anime" as I can take.
A-net don't let the factions team work on a chapter again without some reorganisation (as in Bigfoot's boot)

I know what you mean. Orange is a terrible colour for an assassin. Black all the way.

Factions was not anime themed. It was asian themed. Big difference. And just because they have assassins with ninja stylized armor means nothing. Why must every asian themed thing be associated with anime?

Please note the difference between "Anime Style", "Asian Theme", and "Asian Influence Art Style".

1 thing, Naruto isn't a kids show. The American version is kinda, all American addaptations of Japanesse anime are kinda kid stuff. Watch the Jap version and you'll see there for a maturer audiance. On topic, some of the Linage weapoins and armor is kinda cool, other than that, that game sucks.

There is nothing 'anime influenced' in Factions. The style, decorations and such are mostly from Chinese/Japanese culture, architecture and style in general.

The only 'animu' in Factions are the player names that people have chosen, thinking they can be as c00l as Naruto/Kakashi/Whoever was in that 'tarded show.

Here is how I see the differnce.

http://www.yale.edu/anime/imgarchive/Naruto/group2.jpg
Anime Style
Where character propotions (mostly the eye, face, and hair) are distorted to bring out more characterization. Also the coloring style tend to be more cell shaded.

http://www.gabeeltaeb.com/images/teentitans.jpg
Anime Influence Style
Mixture of western comic style with japanes anime style.

http://www.ramacorp.org/roseon/screen017.jpg
Anime Styled Game

Now, Anime style can be argue as part of the Asian Art style (or a branch of it), but can not be say it is the whole of it.

http://computers.livedoor.com/livedo...arkElf6000.jpg

http://lineage2.gameamp.com/modules/...ploads/333.jpg

From Lineage II, more toward Asian Art style, but should no be call anime style.

Compare to a more Western style
http://www.gamasutra.com/gdc2005/fea...0310/fable.jpg
(From Fable)
http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/daoc-dr/ss-002.jpg
(DAoC)

Can see that there is a differnce. The face tend to be finner (especially on male character), the skin whiter and smoother, and body more thin, with the 7 head body propotion. A bit less realistic than that of western style. Also there tend to be more rich patterns and/or layer of cloth.

Can see the influence from the old Japanese style of art, such as this.
http://www.rhodesigns.com/Wendy/imag...aintingMat.jpg

Other game of similar style could include L2, Silkroad, Granda Esperda, and Final Fantasy, etc.

So you see, cann't really call L2 style as anime style.

Because GW certainly doesn't have its share of ridiculous breasts.

I rather not see that happens. Linage 2 are WAY WAY over doing it. Those bows in there don't even look usable.

I already starting seeing Guild Wars start having weapon art that's over done. Typically zodiac bow and felblade, they are way too big to be swung with efficiency.

Er so you dont like good looking weapons.

Get a default Sword with 15^50% and stop going against creativity.

This thread is pointless and full of off-topic posts.

Just because a thread has a stupid topic doesn't mean other forumers can start talking about irrelevant things. Please refrain from such off-topic posting temptation in the future.
