Wow. the environments look really great, the art direction is fantastic. It seems the sequels (factions, and now nightfall) will really put prophecies to eternal shame on the graphical artistry department.

I don't think any winged paragon is shown there... there are for winged monsters, one looks like a harpy, another like an angel/demon with wings of light, there's a spirit-like monster, and a griffon. No winged paragon, tho.

yeh i wish the paragons had alike a short period of glowy wings when they cast spells. I really thought that was going to be their animation, not this one they have that is way too similar to elementalists

Looking nice! Good thing we saw different desert environments, or it wouldv'e screamed Cyrstal Desert(unless they're linked). Lion's Arch must've also gotten their fountain design from Elona, or vice versa.

And I assume those rhinos are charmable?

We can only hope.

They seem too large to be charmable though...although the bear turned out to be useless so one big pet would be nice. (The moas were tall, but not really *big*)

Ooohhh, you said that in the beginning. I missed that, man I'm slow @_@

Nonetheless, the game looks pretty cool.

This is why I think it's more worthy of buying than Factions

Oh god they advertise to the Squirrel farmers before the rest of the worlds players... I guess the bots need to find a new Mo/W district before we get there...

Looks sort of like a mix of Turkish/Arabic and Egyptian, quite nice. Hopefully much more open spaces as a result (should be more like Tyria just from the region/settings alone)

As it has a more African style theme to it, should be possible to have grassland areas too (savannahs) rather than just all being rock/desert. Those buildings look nice though.

When I first heard about Nightfall taking place in a more African Enviroment, I was sceptical. "We basicly get the Crystal Desert. As a game?" Was my thoughts. But looking at that, and knowing the game isn't even really prepared, really removed all doubts that Anet can't pull off the Nightfall enviroment.

Ooh, I like. The environments look really nice, and I'm excited about the possibility for more wide open areas. It seems like a lot of Prophecies and Factions are made up of narrow passageways leading from one outpost to the next, with little room to branch off. Because of that, the Crystal Desert is still one of my favorite areas in GW because of the big, open zones like Diviner's Ascent and the Arid Sea. Bring on the savannahs, I say.

Hopefully we get a bit of a challenge this time. Visually it is great though.

So you thought Africa is just one giant desert?

Probably just didn't know better. In fact Africa on planet Earth has a wide variety of landscape; sandy as well as rocky deserts, jungles, savannahs (think prairie if you don't know what that is) swampland; even has snow in some parts at times...

I hope Elona turns out a bit like that, with large open spaces, without falling into the stereotype Africa image (i.e. has more than just desert)

Did anyone else notice the Emperor from Cantha was in the opening scene? He is on the lower left with two female retainers in blue. In front of him are 4 guards.

hmmm strong Faction tie in perhaps?
