I was in high school when this trailer came out. Now I've finished college and have a full time job.... Don't even have time to play this fucking game now, 6+ years to release, what a joke.
+Tornado92 do you know how hard to make a good and stable game? As for sure this game really fucking good but it takes time to minimize bugs and cheats... so that is why they need to take time to get rid those bugs..
Sorry, but tits and graphics does not a good game make. I'm not seeing anything special here. now, if and when Dragon Dogma comes out on PC, that's when I'll be reaching for my wallet. Climbing giant monster and stabbing them in the eye with a lance, that's something!
Watching this from 2019, never watched this trailer 10 years later I can defenetly say graphics are best thing in this game, is so beautiful and inspiring ♡
Nah, fuck NCSoft. Releasing to everyone BUT NA and EU. *makes a more kickass game and releases it to only NA/EU and lets other countries watch us play it on youtube for 10 years. Or better yet, make it F2P for NA/EU and P2P for others.* Fuckin' bitches. I'm done waiting for this game, it will never come.
kingdom heroes was a game which finally got released to NA and EU for like 3 years, you can control up to 6 of your own soldeirs or guards and level them up. soldiers such as archers, swordsman, cavalry, and healer/soldier. The arena can go 1v1 or easily 100v100, and on fridays massive clan wars with basically 600 players raping the entire game, and it actually took strategies with scouts guards, and yes guild could build their own kingdom!!! Once they were able to get enough recognition by Devs, this game was the shit, but the game was lost and shit like world of war craft and guild wars continues, i am not exited at all for ESO, it looks 100% identical to most mmo other than first person experience. If a game like kingdom heroes would be remade, and the Devs would actually try to promote it and make it famous it would shit on any mmo, i just hate all these Devs, making almost 99.9% identical games man WTF Devs!
the summoner in the beginning just shows that they never needed to change the class over the past 6 years. Still able to summon a new demon every time.
At least to me, IT IS. It's been out in Korea for months now. It's beautiful and fun, but it does have some issues... But overall it's one of the best MMORPG I've ever played. Very fun indeed. Hope it's released in US ASAP too!
Actually, they've already released the game in Korea. The art director mentioned that it would be released in North America in 2014 in an interview. Probably. I'm glad they're taking their time fixing issues and not rushing it. In the meantime, you could watch videos of the game-play on RUclips.
The beauty of this game is just overwhelming for me I've wanted an RPG to be like this and here it is "blade and soul" I like it I really think I Could get into this a lot great game.
guys =.= this game was only officially released last year in Korean and China. Those five years waiting was when they first announce the game during development. Don't expect it in NA anytime soon >.>
Muhahahaha I'm having so much fun with it. It's really fun game, I got stuck at character creation for like.... 3 hours or something, the customization options is just too crazy. Graphics is sick, game play is fun.
last time i checked she was still alive when it came out last year and here we are about 9 months later and shes still kicking along with the game so...
Chinese version had enter OBT. If you guy want join just google mmosite freedom guild blade and soul. They are the only english community i know and had UI translation. Some of them are Singaporean which are bilingual and fully understand both language. Thumbs up if you want more people to see this
So many things have changed throughout this trailer, no mounts, Bamboo village in this trailer looks 100 times better than it does in the official game, summoners little paint skill *which I wanted so badly* doesn't exist maybe one day they will add it.
***** It's almost like the "Aion: Vision trailer". Too good to be true. Blade & Soul got downgraded in many aspects but still is the best MMORPG I have played so far.
don't remember seeing half the stuff that appeared in this video, like having mounts, summoning demons, some skills, maps, and being able to jump that high without first charging up with running first... srsly tho, mounts would be so awesome.... and of course so will running as fast as the npcs
This is English conversion of Korean version, which was finished beta testing and released on 30th June, 2012. Changing a game's language into English means more complex than simply changing the dialogue and adding in English voice caps, due to language codings, the NPC interaction with players and also to transfer gaming atmosphere, but in English, which means different dialects, accents will have to be used in, and sometimes change the phrase altogether.
Eren Jaeger Rumor has it Gonzo will be bringing it to the Japanese animation screen in the summer of 2014. Hoping they make it worth watching and not just some excuse for T/A ecchi character design with no story to fall back on.
This is ridiculous. 4 long years and it is still not westernized yet? I get it that you need voice actors and you have to get professional translators for this but really? To top it off the associate producer Devin Myren and the Lead content writer Conor Sheehy who were supposed to westernize Blade and Soul are no longer working on that project. So who is now? The last post that was ever mentioned on the website was in 2012. I thought I would never see a company shit on their community any more than NC has. It just takes 5 min to give a little update from time to time. It is sad really.
Yeah and honestly you dont get answers anywhere else, its just speculation after another and tbh im sick to death cause of it. I cant believe they leave us wondering if this god damn game is going to be released for NA, or hell even a reason as to why its taking so damn long and what they might end up doing instead of being the cowards they are presenting themselves to be.
It's only been an year after the game was released in South Korea:P They said they're gonna open it in 2010 first, but it actually took 3 more years to opening server. let's be more patient
this trailer makes me sad.. it just a reminder of how awesome blade and soul could have been, the animations are better the graphics are smother, the classes are way dumbed down even on just a few of the skill I recognized from here. sad really sad.
Its taking way too long! I decided to start playing the Chinese OBT version, I don't understand a thing but damn is it fun. The combat in this game is unlike any other MMO i've played (Tera, Aion, Perfect World etc). I wouldn't even touch the thing if it was a grind fest like all the other mmo's out there.
God, I feel so Damn sad to have found this game at this time... I'm so hyped about it cuz this is exactly the type of mmo ive been looking for, ever. But I know it wont be released for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.... wish I never found it in the first place >.>
DeathBlazer I did play vindictus, for 400+ hours and it is repetitive af with very limited moves and sad/pathetic PVP. It really gets old especially with the broken economy cuz of botters and the .0003% drop rates
DeathBlazer Lol, the community is filled with people who have ran certain dungeons 80+ times and still have yet to get a rare drop. vindictus.nexon.net/Community/#%2Fshowthread.php%3F378912-A-Proper-Drop-Rate-Petition%26highlight%3Ddrop%2Brate%2Bpetition%26nxid%3D15
Im not saying I don't like the game, I wouldn't have 400+ hours if I didn't >.> btw, ur only lvl 58 so u don't have to worry about any of that yet. when u hit cap, u will have such a hard time getting in raids because they put up stat requirements that are only attainable with Explosive + mael, or +13 weapons (which u wouldn't even get a CHANCE to get without grinding for a long time or speding a ton of real life money)
+Da Sm there's still no game i've seen that has better combat than blade and soul aside from black desert maybe.. but as far as graphics it's still one of the best looking mmos to date!
+Da Sm if time and graphics determine a game good or not, then World of Warcraft already long gone seeing it 2004 or bunch of hit indie game with 8-bit, 2D graphic but they still make a huge hit. As long the game still fun, then graphic not matter. I been waiting for this and i will enjoy the hell out of it.
I remember when I first saw this I was amazed by the graphics. As now, mobile games has even better quality than this, but for its era, was a damn gorgeous game ( and I know devs have updated it to U4). Even the revolution Blade and Soul has a pretty decent graphics now and I'm waiting for Blade and Soul 2. How technology has improved over the years...
yea, There is a Beta in china as well. NCSOFT has not yet finalized beta plans for Blade & Soul, but fans can begin signing up for important information and news by subscribing to the Blade & Soul newsletter.
@irArcangel They are just about to enter the second closed beta so it won't be released in the United States for a while. They are still introducing the other classes and creating new areas. All the quests and dialogue are in Korean so it's not available for other areas yet. The second closed beta in Korea starts on the 29th of August.
Most things like the general quests, settings, log in screen and other essential things to play the game are translated. Obviously not everything since it's a fan project, but it's definitely playable.
That was what I was told by the Game Masters and Developers when I played in the Korean CBT. (that the boxed copy would be released along with an online payment as well to be pay once and your account is yours forever)
I don't speak on their behalf but in my experience, asian gaming audiences (NC SOFT being Korean) tend to put graphics as a strong second and work on the gameplay aspects of an MMO as you can see in this trailer. Graphics may not be up to par for Euro/NA audiences.. but the gameplay should captivate.
Team Bloodlust is been at total conversion of this game so it'll be available to Western Hemisphere for 6 months, given that if they were starting to make English version on the release of Korean version.
9 years yet this game still can't run properly on my computer with stable 60 fps. Good job. I left this game like 4 months ago and that was probably the best choice I've ever made And to whoever want to play it. You will have fun for first idk, month? If you find friends then maybe few more but after all you will end up raging, doing same dungeons everyday, listen to other players insulting you or crashing. hf
exactly my thoughts, this game is all about running dungeons every fucking day, is the most repetitive experience in any mmo, it had so much potential back in the day
A great MMORPG with a solid story, superb graphics and an interesting combat system. Remembers me of Jade Empire. Too bad it is not available for everyone to enjoy it.
I was in high school when this trailer came out. Now I've finished college and have a full time job.... Don't even have time to play this fucking game now, 6+ years to release, what a joke.
being able to summon demons was changed to a fucking cat? seriously
I was 13 when this was announced! Now I'm 20 and still have plenty of time to play it! YAY!
came here after seeing the Blade and Soul 2 trailer just to see Kim Tae Hyung's art style again
You took too long. It's been 6 fucking years. God dammit.
+Tornado92 do you know how hard to make a good and stable game? As for sure this game really fucking good but it takes time to minimize bugs and cheats... so that is why they need to take time to get rid those bugs..
+Tornado92 11 minutes to Head Start (for founders pack owners) It's been a long ride but Blade and Soul NA/EU is literally minutes away from launch
Wtf men been waiting for a English version for 5 years now I give up
kinda looks like C9, but more refined.
Oh, there's also Tera.
Not even close to those games
Sorry, but tits and graphics does not a good game make.
I'm not seeing anything special here.
now, if and when Dragon Dogma comes out on PC, that's when I'll be reaching for my wallet.
Climbing giant monster and stabbing them in the eye with a lance, that's something!
Ahh nicly said but I don't play new game for the graphics or girl tits play it for new game enjoyment
#1 game for me is vindictus #2 is elder scrolls
Watching this from 2019, never watched this trailer 10 years later I can defenetly say graphics are best thing in this game, is so beautiful and inspiring ♡
When this game actually did come out in the US, no one gave a damn. Good job, Korea.
Once upon a time this game was about Martial arts.
my grandchildren wil surely enjoy this game.
I still remember the first time I saw this teaser. I was "OMG! I WANT IT!". Years later... The hype isn't the same.
The biggest blade and soul regret should be what a great summoner style wasnt implemented
If i knew that this game won't be in NA for the next five years, I would have learned chinese/korean by now. I can even put that on my resume.
why the koreans and japanese, so lucky they get kick ass mmo's like this and we get elder scrolls online....which costs like 200 dollars a year..
take a look at black desert
Nah, fuck NCSoft. Releasing to everyone BUT NA and EU.
*makes a more kickass game and releases it to only NA/EU and lets other countries watch us play it on youtube for 10 years. Or better yet, make it F2P for NA/EU and P2P for others.* Fuckin' bitches. I'm done waiting for this game, it will never come.
At least Sony Gave us Final Fantasy:ARR
kingdom heroes was a game which finally got released to NA and EU for like 3 years, you can control up to 6 of your own soldeirs or guards and level them up. soldiers such as archers, swordsman, cavalry, and healer/soldier. The arena can go 1v1 or easily 100v100, and on fridays massive clan wars with basically 600 players raping the entire game, and it actually took strategies with scouts guards, and yes guild could build their own kingdom!!! Once they were able to get enough recognition by Devs, this game was the shit, but the game was lost and shit like world of war craft and guild wars continues, i am not exited at all for ESO, it looks 100% identical to most mmo other than first person experience. If a game like kingdom heroes would be remade, and the Devs would actually try to promote it and make it famous it would shit on any mmo, i just hate all these Devs, making almost 99.9% identical games man WTF Devs!
the summoner in the beginning just shows that they never needed to change the class over the past 6 years. Still able to summon a new demon every time.
4 years ago. Still not even out of closed beta.
2014 and it is STILL not released for the EU or US. Been waiting for years NCSoft! PLEASE have it out by 2015. I'm begging you.
basically, they took the demon summoning privelage from summoners and gave it to warlocks 😏😂
At least to me, IT IS. It's been out in Korea for months now. It's beautiful and fun, but it does have some issues... But overall it's one of the best MMORPG I've ever played. Very fun indeed. Hope it's released in US ASAP too!

When you realize this video is 7 years old.
when you realize this comment is 3 years old LMAO
@@XelaShade dang, that makes this trailer 10 years old :o
Hyung Tae Kim's work is as good as ever!
guys =.= this game was only officially released last year in Korean and China. Those five years waiting was when they first announce the game during development. Don't expect it in NA anytime soon >.>
I'm too old for this shit now.
+ShokoLied how old r u?
+Ali Snow Too old.
Muhahahaha I'm having so much fun with it.
It's really fun game, I got stuck at character creation for like.... 3 hours or something, the customization options is just too crazy.
Graphics is sick, game play is fun.
last time i checked she was still alive when it came out last year and here we are about 9 months later and shes still kicking along with the game so...
Finally after 8 years of waiting

+AppleberryKitty I think they cut down on the amount of blood also lol
Now it's time to watch the anime..
This is definitely a deferent game from what we have today
don't remember seeing half the stuff that appeared in this video, like having mounts, summoning demons, some skills, maps, and being able to jump that high without first charging up with running first...
srsly tho, mounts would be so awesome.... and of course so will running as fast as the npcs
the demons are part of the warlorcks
omg look at the characters. They look amazing!
cant wait for the EU release
I keep hearing about this.
Now I see NCSoft name in it.
Nope.avi
"keep hearing about this?" this game came out like 3 years ago in korea, almost a year ago in china and probably wont be coming to NA
Elliot Tregoning Im guessing theyre not Korean or Chinese, not everyone is a waifu anime sperg like you

The combat in this is such a far cry from Western MMO's. This looks like it could be a single player action game! Wish this would come to consoles.
COME TO THE US!!!!
Searched it up on google they say somewhere in 2014 or maybe 2015 (correct me if im wrong)
my grandchildrens will enjoy this game
wtf
Yh, apparently it should be out this summer
Eren Jaeger Rumor has it Gonzo will be bringing it to the Japanese animation screen in the summer of 2014. Hoping they make it worth watching and not just some excuse for T/A ecchi character design with no story to fall back on.
Eren Jaeger
Eren wth are you doing here? Go back to killing titans man, this no place for you.
This might be a great year for gaming.
None of thus shown in trailer 2009 is in B&S 2018 year...How the game changed since 9 years...
BOUT TIME

Prisoner A: What you in for?
Prisoner B: Murder, you?
Prisoner A: Aimbot + Wallhack.
Prisoner B: Shit bro.. you crazy. I'ma stay out yo way.
The actual game looks nothing like this even today, nor does it play as good.
Very disappointing
Well... i'm waiting since 2009 and still no eng ver, time to learn chinesee
It's Korean ...
Yes, that's a total different language.
Yeah, it's not like there's chinese ver where you can play without korean accout etc. -.-
Dampero what if I told you there is a chinese version.
HkHeadShot103 Wow, thank you capitan
Wow this looks amazing. Graphics are awesome
my God that summoner at the beginning gave me a nerdgasm. so epic.
Hmm, so this game is not out yet for us.
It will be... oh it will be... can't wait :D
ratede91 this summer right?
kyle suchil The Beta will probably be released by this summer, but I doubt the full release would be.

epic, and absoutley goregous. so glad to be alive to hopefully enjoy this masterpiece
This would have been so amazing 6 years ago. Christ.
Outdated game , outdated graphics, a 2008 game and they released only now. No thanx i will pass there is better games than this old korean game.
+Da Sm no one asked for your opinion
+WALAHAZAH You don't need to ask when there is a comment button. Everything that you post is your opinion.
+Da Sm And you are absolutely right.
+Da Sm there's still no game i've seen that has better combat than blade and soul aside from black desert maybe.. but as far as graphics it's still one of the best looking mmos to date!

I been waiting for this and i will enjoy the hell out of it.
6 years been waiting since you :D
All i know is that, if this game doesn't come out for Macs too, after waiting this long.... Heads will roll
I remember when I first saw this I was amazed by the graphics.

Even the revolution Blade and Soul has a pretty decent graphics now and I'm waiting for Blade and Soul 2. How technology has improved over the years...
Been waiting for 2 years for this game
yea, There is a Beta in china as well.
NCSOFT has not yet finalized beta plans for Blade & Soul, but fans can begin signing up for important information and news by subscribing to the Blade & Soul newsletter.
Am I the only one who likes this because it looks FUN AS HELL?!
Dat Combat
omfg plz let this game be out!!! I want to freaking play this so bad!!!
the artist is the same guy who did the graphics of magna carta; its distorted but pretty in it's own way. Has to be be your cup of tea.
Cant wait for this! haha a friend showed me this and fell in love with it just within a few seconds :))
NcSoft: This is still in development.
Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
the shit is that 4 years later its technology and graphics are still apealling today
so hyped till NCSOFT
This is amazing! Never been so psyched!
if you play B&S right now, not all feature in this video are available in game.. :)
@irArcangel They are just about to enter the second closed beta so it won't be released in the United States for a while. They are still introducing the other classes and creating new areas. All the quests and dialogue are in Korean so it's not available for other areas yet. The second closed beta in Korea starts on the 29th of August.
The amount of badass here.
this game looks so bad ass that I am surprised it is not out yet
i remember playing this a year ago or smth on a private server in beta it had many bugs but did so much fun
this Trailer Torment me for four years, its finally gonna be release this year, YEAH! maybe?
Most things like the general quests, settings, log in screen and other essential things to play the game are translated. Obviously not everything since it's a fan project, but it's definitely playable.
I hope this game will be out in NA for my grandchildren to play before they die :(
this type has been renewed!!!and added some cool few characters!!!
You must be new here. I've been waiting since 2008. :S
That was what I was told by the Game Masters and Developers when I played in the Korean CBT. (that the boxed copy would be released along with an online payment as well to be pay once and your account is yours forever)
that detail.. >. >
man this taking so dam long, but I'll wait for this shjt ...its too epic
I don't speak on their behalf but in my experience, asian gaming audiences (NC SOFT being Korean) tend to put graphics as a strong second and work on the gameplay aspects of an MMO as you can see in this trailer.

Just give them some time guys ^~^ im sure its going to be so amazing it will be worth the wait
Team Bloodlust is been at total conversion of this game so it'll be available to Western Hemisphere for 6 months, given that if they were starting to make English version on the release of Korean version.
Hyung tae kim's design... you shouldn't be surprised ! :D
Latino América esta rogando por este juego! :(
it might not be released untill 2014 in america and europe, but they are working on it right now
9 years yet this game still can't run properly on my computer with stable 60 fps. Good job. I left this game like 4 months ago and that was probably the best choice I've ever made
And to whoever want to play it. You will have fun for first idk, month? If you find friends then maybe few more but after all you will end up raging, doing same dungeons everyday, listen to other players insulting you or crashing. hf
exactly my thoughts, this game is all about running dungeons every fucking day, is the most repetitive experience in any mmo, it had so much potential back in the day
I'm gonna start upgrading my PC for this, and I hope by 2012 it would be powerful enough to handle this game in best quality.
A great MMORPG with a solid story, superb graphics and an interesting combat system. Remembers me of Jade Empire.
Too bad it is not available for everyone to enjoy it.
NcSoft: This is still in development.
Me: I'm playing!
I'm dying for this game to come out in the USA. I got money saved up just to get myself an epic video card for max graphic settings.
YESSSSSS blade and soul will come out in 2014 person whp created it stated that in a interview!!!! So pumped!!!! :-D
just too awesome please release now xD
