Not one game in the world rivals GW on how many hot chick characters can be created from each and every profession. And kudos to the armor designers as well for their excellent work on making sure that the female characters are worth playing for 2000 hours, with little chance of getting boring to look at.

I'm so looking forward to having Jora in my party! Move over Koss. This new hottie's got the job.

Oh and for Factions expansion(2008), I'd like to see a Female Ele hero and something skimpy for Acolyte Jin to wear. My wishlist is endless on this subject.

[[email protected] Knez: Pure speculation on my part. Wishful thinking is good for the soul. If you look at all 3 continent maps, there's room for expansions. If you think that GW1 ends at GW:EN, I beg to differ. It's gonna be IMPOSSIBLE to retain player base beyond mid-2008 with only 1 expansion unless GW2 is ready to ship in 4th quarter of that year, which I highly doubt, considering how much they got on the table for that game. So I speculate that Cantha and Elona will no doubt each have a new story of their own. Ask me the same question in March, 2008. ]

MORE FACES pls. Nightfall was a wee bit dissapointing in the Female Face department for almost all professions. I could send some suggestions. I hate that only 10% of faces are worth going out in towns with.

And it is definitely Vizu that helps kill Shiro the first time around is it not?
If you watch the Factions Cinematic you can also see that they look exactly alike.

The image I posted earlier has Vizu standing in front of the Temple (why would it be Nika? Nika wasn't there when this happened.)

Seeing as how that image (of Vizu) was used on the cover of the box, it has to be Vizu, there's no doubt about it

The only one of you with a decent arguement is Nuclfus (Whom I can't think of a reply back to XD)

I personally like the face of the 3D High res jora, but perhaps with the build of the refined concept...not too skinny but not too built on her.

Maybe its the lack of wildness in the hair modeling. Despite keeping the locks it doesnt flow and we cant see the really long ponytail - maybe it is still there. The torso armor and tatoo area is designed less well. The model just looks really generic now. While I still like the artwork in the first the best (yes, thank you to whoever posted about Frank Frazetta - that was exactly who I was thinking of when I said "painterly" and classically fantasy), they should have used the third rendition as the actual character model as close as possible. I suppose they tried, but much was lost in translation. Much.

In the original magazine concept preview of factions, the main character protagonist was named Nika.

The Factions artwork on the box, wallpapers, etc. depicted a purple haired assasin. This same purple haired assasin is used in the Factions cinematic trailer.

We later find out that the cinema depicts Vizu.

This does not mean that the box artwork is Vizu.

Because....

In the preview of factions NIKA looked EXACTLY like Vizu does now.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/images/archi...729%21Nika.jpg <--This is the OLD version of NIKA.

Now....look at VIZU.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/images/9/95/Vizu.jpg
Vizu's Ghost matches the older version of Nika.


NOW.....This is the NEW NIKA.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/images/thumb...253px-Nika.jpg
This NEW version of Nika matches the CINEMATIC version of Vizu and the artwork of the purple haired assassin.

Anet continues to confuse us by releasing MINIATURE VIZU.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:MiniVizu.JPG
Which looks EXACTLY like the NEW NIKA.

SO...whats the tally:

Vizu has 3 versions so far.
Cinema Vizu, which looks exactly like Nika.
In Game Vizu, which USED to look exactly like Nika
Miniature Vizu which looks exactly like Nika does now.

So whos on the Cover of factions?

Nika or Vizu?

The answer? It could be either or, since they use the same exact model.
