I'm a big fan of the new Korean Director that has been in charge of Mabinogi for the last 3 years. Most of the updates he has been in charge of have been amazing, everybody in Korea likes him, he listens to players feedback, and even cares about the NA Mabi community. Mabinogi is in good hands right now, the game has been doing great lately. It is important that the unique look and feel Mabinogi has now will stay unique when we upgrade to Unreal 5 but I think the pics of Tir and a character shows they know what they are doing. As for the housing system I think it would be cool if the could make housing areas look similar to the way they do now but to make player housing relevant again they are likely going to need to make some big changes to it. Homesteads are tolerable and won't need much adjusting but we can't deny the actual player housing system just plain sucks.
Mabinogi is a game for everyone. I have never found another game where I can spend hundreds of hours ignoring combat, leveling life skills (gathering, crafting, etc) and when I eventually jumped into combat...I had stats that helped me survive long enough to learn how! And there are so MANY styles of combat that are completely different from each other, too. This is an MMO where people had ideas and just...did it. I'm hype for Project Eternity!
I don’t think Mabinogi is a game for everyone with the UI it currently has. I only got into Mabinogi this past month but it took me a while to get used to the UI and navigating around. There are hardly any good tutorials or beginners guide on RUclips as well. Even if you find some they are outdated. Blaankd’s quest is the real tutorial of Mabinogi, but I’m not planning to complete it just taking my own time doing other things.
@@hido... I do agree about the UI and stuff. I meant more, whatever you're looking for in a game, Mabi has something to scratch that itch. I'm hoping the graphics update will make it easier to play for new people. Blaanid helps, but she also throws EVERYTHING at you at once which generally is more overwhelming than not. It would be nice to have some kind of "What aspect of the game attracts you most? Combat, Merchantile, life skills?" and give a tutorial for that aspect and a way to go back and pick another aspect when you're ready. Obviously just tossed in a few of the options off the top of my head, even between combat and life skills you'd need subcategories, really.
Mabinogi doesn't need a graphic update. What it needs is to be more fps-friendly. Most of the weapons and armors you can get, you have to pay real money for. Also, it kinda sucks that in the past years the game has gotten too easy, but that's the trend of every MMO nowadays. Still, the game is a great example of how to design an MMO that prioritize fun.
I wasn't aware of Project Eternity til now but this makes me hopeful for its future. Mabinogi's strength today is its freedom and its mechanics (the game mechanics is a behemoth and it's AMAZING how customizable it is when most MMOs & free-to-play games have huge limitations) - the main drawback is graphics that don't necessarily compete with its current market. I definitely agree that the style of heart of it should stay the same with improvements like seeing actual fingers instead of a block hand.
Have honestly been waiting and wanting this for so long... can't believe it's finally happening... I will miss the old look but I'm happy for this rebirth! This was my childhood and I met so many friends there. Been planning a cover of the login theme - maybe it's time? 🤔😁
Mabinogi’s skill system is to this day unparalleled in my book. A lot of the skills have to be earned. As for when and how you earn them is up to you. Take magic for example, there are multiple ways for you to unlock a spell. You may stumble upon a book during your adventures and learn said spell by reading that book(you can literally read it btw). OR, you may have bought a wand which is enchanted with that spell. OR, you may have been talking to an npc and have built up the rapport to the point where they decide to teach you the spell. OR, you may decide to go to school to learn magic. OR, you may hear a rumor of said spell from another npc and start asking around and eventually find someone who’s willing to give you more clue about that spell. OR, you just happen to see certain npc or monsters using that spell. The same goes for other skills including life skills. Sometimes, you can’t grow past a certain point and think you’ve maxed out a skill. But you would hear rumors about a level beyond what you’ve achieved so far and go into a training arc which allows you to improve that skill even further. There are powerful skills that are locked behind main-story quests and bosses. I’m not sure if the modern gamers would appreciate all this, but the level of immersion that Mabinogi was able to provide cannot be found in any of the big MMORPGs today.
And even now, theres a dude in my area that buys every single nexon catd when theyre in stock. Also yeah, pretty hyped for the visual update. Hell with a better visual look we could even hopefully draw in more players with cross over events.
I started playing Mabi in 2008 when I got my first Windows XP laptop as part of a scholarship for doing well in class, and it was actually the 5th free MMO that I had tried when I was new at PC online gaming, most other games required online memberships to pretty much do anything, because they all had the "Free" online MMO thing but it was basically free to start, but if you wanted to keep playing you basically had to pay up or you couldn't continue, and the remarkable thing is that Nexon had been pretty innovative during that time, as games like Mabinogi or Maplestory or heck even Combat Arms, they were all games that were truly free and how they made their money was through micro transactions, and at first the things you could purchase with real money were limited, and would not allow you to break the games at the start, which basically made the best time to play those games between 2008-2012, but as newer MMOs released and other developers/publishers copied Nexon's formula and focused on micro transactions, instead of memberships as other games had been doing, that's when Nexon couldn't handle the competition, and they got greedier with the micro transactions, and basically made their games completely pay to win, and as the games lost their original slow pace quirky charm, a lot of players started leaving because they could just not keep up with their peers, or they did not want to pay Nexon for their inferior services, and from 2012+ was when the towns in Mabi started becoming ghost towns, due to a lack of players and the remaining players basically acting like statues, where they would just AFK all day and only show off their fashion or feats with their titles, and they basically allowed the game to end up on life support, because instead of them boycotting Nexon so that they would change the focus, they actually encouraged Nexon since they bought all the new gachapons, and completely broke the game's balance by selling all their "junk" on the game market, because all the items from the gachapons were way better quality, than any of the stuff that people could actually acquire in game, so thats why people didn't really do any of the crafting life skills except for stats, and then the game kept getting reworked over and over again, to basically make itself a DPS race completely losing the original identity that the game had, and proving that Harvey Dent was right all along. I really miss old Mabinogi from 2008-2012, back then I could spend hours just chatting up random people in the game, because the content was pretty tough to just go through it solo, and although it was possible to go solo due to the game having a sort of rock paper scissors combat, it wasn't recommended to go solo since even in the harder difficulty dungeons, the monsters would spawn in big numbers, and since they had multiaggro they would overwhelm you as most skills were single target types, and plus the real charm of the game came up whenever you made a party together with random people, and then had a fun time socializing after you beat whatever it was that you needed to beat, or just dedicating some days to completely chill and enjoy your "fantasy life", because Mabi was a game that was more than just the combat or mechanics it had, and the proof was in all the activities you could do besides the combat, or how cool making custom music scores for playing instrument had been during that period of time. The reason why a game like Mabinogi would not work today, is because people have gotten used to game jumping, they have gotten used to limited content and a bunch of other stuff that creates FOMO, and its the reason why it had to be modified but it alienated everyone that enjoyed the original experience. Throughout the years I have tried to return to the game, but the spark is just gone since I can no longer socialize with anyone random in game due to all the AFK, even after the game had so many server merges where basically everyone is in one server now, so if I do want to socialize I would need to join a discord server of Mabi players, but that experience is not the same and the game mechanics have changed so much due to reworks and stuff, that I could no longer enjoy my original playstyle. I've tried finding similar games to Mabinogi, but the closest one in mechanics and feeling is Craftopia with the Legacy version, but because after they did the Seamless World update in August they made the game very Genshin like, it basically killed ruined that Mabi feeling experience. I would never trust Nexon again though, since their games have always been fun I have played most of their new releases, but they pulled the plug on Combat Arms, Riders of Icarus, Hyper Universe and a bunch of other games, and they have always blamed the community for the "lack of success" on those games, but they barely advertised them and never truly listened to the people in the community. Companies like Nexon and NCSoft, deserve to go bankrupt because they do not realize how fun their games were, and allowed all the potential for their game libraries to be squandered, and never compensated any of their players for all the messed up things they did, so its why they have a poor reputation with gamers in online discussion boards.
I still don't see other games that let you multiclass simultaneously like mabi does. It does what single player/co-op games like Saints Row and GTA do by letting the player explore their own way to play, but in an mmo with a somehow greater range of individuality and expression than most AAA games on the market. Even FFXIV, in spite of all the ways it exceeds the limits of mabi due to our current game engine, pales in comparison to our dye system and outfit motion systems. BDO is the only MMO I know with truly superior customization options, and even that game feels like it lacks the depth of character as it takes itself too seriously to embrace the cartoony and sci-fi and modern style outfits at the level mabi easily does (and always has since beam swords and cheeseburger hats). I've never seen a vtuber community that has collectively "designed the model based on my character" like almost every mabi vtuber. Other games you play as a character in the game, but mabi you play as who you want to be, who you picture the character to be, or even as your true self. And you're encouraged to reinvent that self as often as you like with the rebirth system. How many other games let you change genders freely after character creation, let alone at all? Mabi succeeding would mean there's an audience for games that don't try to put limits on any aspect of play. Of course we have some stuff behind content walls, but for the overwhelming majority of content in the game you can easily just do it. A new character can wield some of the most powerful items off rip. No level limit, no class limit, no dress codes, no caps on growth, no party restrictions, go wild! We've said it all this time, but Mabi gets it on a whole different level. F2P. It's FREEDOM to play, and not because it's free.
If Unreal Engine 5 actually happens I strongly believe Mabinogi will even give FFXIV some tough competition. Really hoping we have enough server capacity after Unreal 5 cause this game could explode from this update.
Modern mabinogi breaks multiclass, especially arcana that only lets you have one arcana talent active at a time. The arcana is so strong that there is no point in using anything else so it becomes a class based mmorpg.
Mabinogi is a one of a kind game. I played it on EU server years ago, full with hackers. Then it shut down and switched to NA. But it got too laggy and I lost most of my friends. Farming became VIP too. I did pick it up in 2017 and quit 2018. Picked it up again in 2022 but other games were more my interest. I surely can't wait to explore mabinogi in this version. I hope we could see the sky. Camera movements I mean
I remember the time id login together with my friends at night and then go fishing and just chilling and talking shit in game... or the times we hang around a bonfire while listening to random people playing instruments. good times good times..
Any computer that can run Genshin Impact will likely be able to run Mabinogi with Unreal 5 no problem. I think Mabinogi will have lower system requirements than Genshin. So something like 6gb to 8gb memory, 3gb to 5gb Video Ram, and i5 or i7 core is what I'm guessing. Players probably have at least 3 years to start saving up for a PC upgrade if they need one but we likely won't see the exact system requirements for it until a few months before the update comes out.
This is hopeful! I liked the char renders and the ambiance, but the screenshots looked damning. I'm sure they'll work on it until it maintains its identity-- these devs seem to love the game as much as we do!
I miss peak mabinogi days, tarlach server represent. If this update emulates what it was like to hop on mabinogi after class as a kid back then to me as an adult logging in after a long day's work, I'd be happy from a nostalgic point. With the return of Vindctus too, I hope they release a Maplestory 3 or something cus I loved Maple 2 as shortlived as it was. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for Mabinogi Project Eternity for sure. Mabi was sure ahead of it's time. I'm looking forward to the Fashionogi shows at Tir Chonail centre and the busking/performance jamming in Dunbarton that I hope happens again in Mabinogi Project Eternity. Is there any news if we still get to keep our pets and all the stuff we spent money on our Mabi acc or is this a new stand alone game, fresh?
Man i played mabi a lot on the EU version, then the servers shut down and then i had to play on NA but i stopped since the lag made it unplayable. I really miss the game a lot it was a big part of my childhood and the server shutdown was a sad part of my life lol. I might give it another try with this huge update but I will most likely stop again if the lag makes it unplayable, it might be better now since I have a better internet connection but this might just be copium. Hope they consider opening some EU servers.
it was the same for me...but in reverse. I played on NA servers for YEARS (I was one of the people that were sought out when they wanted things made due to my high skill LVs)...but I had to move to EU for work...the lag just made it unplayable. I would love to come back and play this game...I played Black desert as a replacement for 8 years but unlike Mabinogi even after i stop playing BDO I had no real want to return to the game. Mabinogi was different... It holds a specail place in my heart and every time i return to just look at the world for a little bit, It always made me sad that they never truly tried to upgrade the feel or look of the game.
Honestly they owe it to us to get this graphics update ASAP seriously mabinogi is a rare phenomenon plenty games have died from now to when it first came out
If they do, I really hope they create a fresh start server. I remember playing the game 10 years ago on NA, and even then the number of veterans there are staggering. Fresh start is probably what it needs most.
a different time is an understatement, people were spending $200+ on gotchas weekly just to get some dam angle wings, i remember i actaully got lucky and got them from a random box and instantly was harassed to sell them because i wasnt wearing them in the fashion tab (couldnt afford it)
I will be very surprised if Mabinogi will get upgraded. I doubt it since Devcat never finished the new app version of the game. Will I play the game again once it will come out? Yeah, I will.
I’ve never cared for Mabi as a game for it’s gameplay, and yet I always come back because of the fashion, music, and community. I’ll be looking forward to seeing my character updated. As for the game itself… I hope the update breathes a bit more life into Iria. If not, I REALLY hope they overhaul Dunbarton. I’ve always felt Emain should have been the central hub area, and Dunby should be where Emain is, as it’s much more bland and lacks the things music players like (such as a dedicated stage). Still, it’s exciting news.
Hey sorry it took so long to reply here! Its an official instrumental cover of the main theme that was uploaded to the korean youtube channel. [마비노기] 어릴 적 할머니가 들려주신 옛 전설 (ver. Campfire)
I've never played Mabinogi. I've been a long time fan of MapleStory, and around 2017, I saw Mabinogi in the Nexon Launcher. I was interested in it, but never gave it a shot. I had some MapleStory friends who did play Mabinogi, and I forgot what they said about it, but I've always been interested in giving it a shot. Now that I'm hearing about Project Eternity, I'm interested in finally giving it a shot. I just have two things I'm not entirely sure about, and would appreciate if anyone could answer: 1) Should I play the game now or should I wait until the Unreal port and play it then? 2) What's the main gameplay loop like? And if there's any exclusive rewards for playing before Project Eternity releases, let me know. I'm a complete sucker for exclusive rewards.
I'm a big fan of the new Korean Director that has been in charge of Mabinogi for the last 3 years. Most of the updates he has been in charge of have been amazing, everybody in Korea likes him, he listens to players feedback, and even cares about the NA Mabi community. Mabinogi is in good hands right now, the game has been doing great lately. It is important that the unique look and feel Mabinogi has now will stay unique when we upgrade to Unreal 5 but I think the pics of Tir and a character shows they know what they are doing. As for the housing system I think it would be cool if the could make housing areas look similar to the way they do now but to make player housing relevant again they are likely going to need to make some big changes to it. Homesteads are tolerable and won't need much adjusting but we can't deny the actual player housing system just plain sucks.
this was the most calming news video I've ever viewed. your voice is amazing!!
This is high praise coming from lightning! haha but seriously, thank you!
Mabinogi is a game for everyone. I have never found another game where I can spend hundreds of hours ignoring combat, leveling life skills (gathering, crafting, etc) and when I eventually jumped into combat...I had stats that helped me survive long enough to learn how! And there are so MANY styles of combat that are completely different from each other, too. This is an MMO where people had ideas and just...did it. I'm hype for Project Eternity!
I don’t think Mabinogi is a game for everyone with the UI it currently has. I only got into Mabinogi this past month but it took me a while to get used to the UI and navigating around.

Blaankd’s quest is the real tutorial of Mabinogi, but I’m not planning to complete it just taking my own time doing other things.

Obviously just tossed in a few of the options off the top of my head, even between combat and life skills you'd need subcategories, really.
Mabinogi doesn't need a graphic update. What it needs is to be more fps-friendly. Most of the weapons and armors you can get, you have to pay real money for. Also, it kinda sucks that in the past years the game has gotten too easy, but that's the trend of every MMO nowadays. Still, the game is a great example of how to design an MMO that prioritize fun.

Good video. I'm going to look into it some more.
Sounds like it's comin on time for a return to Iria's shores. How exciting! :D
I remember the time id login together with my friends at night and then go fishing and just chilling and talking shit in game... or the times we hang around a bonfire while listening to random people playing instruments. good times good times..
One of the big things going for mabinogi right now... It can run on a potato I want to see the specs on the unreal update
Any computer that can run Genshin Impact will likely be able to run Mabinogi with Unreal 5 no problem. I think Mabinogi will have lower system requirements than Genshin. So something like 6gb to 8gb memory, 3gb to 5gb Video Ram, and i5 or i7 core is what I'm guessing. Players probably have at least 3 years to start saving up for a PC upgrade if they need one but we likely won't see the exact system requirements for it until a few months before the update comes out.
Can't run on anything have right now. integrated graphics for the loss. :(
Super hyped about this upgrade. Haven't played since G18 (Nexon effectively banned me), but I'm coming back hard with a fresh account, idgaf.
as someone who was playing mabinogi from 2008 and is playing genshin impact now, that reference to genshin just made me LOL out loud XD
This is hopeful! I liked the char renders and the ambiance, but the screenshots looked damning. I'm sure they'll work on it until it maintains its identity-- these devs seem to love the game as much as we do!
I miss peak mabinogi days, tarlach server represent. If this update emulates what it was like to hop on mabinogi after class as a kid back then to me as an adult logging in after a long day's work, I'd be happy from a nostalgic point. With the return of Vindctus too, I hope they release a Maplestory 3 or something cus I loved Maple 2 as shortlived as it was. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for Mabinogi Project Eternity for sure. Mabi was sure ahead of it's time. I'm looking forward to the Fashionogi shows at Tir Chonail centre and the busking/performance jamming in Dunbarton that I hope happens again in Mabinogi Project Eternity.
Is there any news if we still get to keep our pets and all the stuff we spent money on our Mabi acc or is this a new stand alone game, fresh?
Mabi had this unique "innocent" feeling that no other games had, even those with similar settings.
I CANT WAITTTTTTTTTT LOOKS AWESOMEEEE
Man i played mabi a lot on the EU version, then the servers shut down and then i had to play on NA but i stopped since the lag made it unplayable. I really miss the game a lot it was a big part of my childhood and the server shutdown was a sad part of my life lol.

I would love to come back and play this game...I played Black desert as a replacement for 8 years but unlike Mabinogi even after i stop playing BDO I had no real want to return to the game. Mabinogi was different... It holds a specail place in my heart and every time i return to just look at the world for a little bit, It always made me sad that they never truly tried to upgrade the feel or look of the game.
Honestly they owe it to us to get this graphics update ASAP seriously mabinogi is a rare phenomenon plenty games have died from now to when it first came out
If they do, I really hope they create a fresh start server. I remember playing the game 10 years ago on NA, and even then the number of veterans there are staggering. Fresh start is probably what it needs most.
i can't wait unreal version nao...it's so beautiful!😍😍
a different time is an understatement, people were spending $200+ on gotchas weekly just to get some dam angle wings, i remember i actaully got lucky and got them from a random box and instantly was harassed to sell them because i wasnt wearing them in the fashion tab (couldnt afford it)
For all of you guys project eternity is supposed to come out sometime 2024.
oh, This is great news!
ooooooooo I am sooooo going to come back if it goes to the Unreal engine.
I will be very surprised if Mabinogi will get upgraded. I doubt it since Devcat never finished the new app version of the game. Will I play the game again once it will come out? Yeah, I will.
what is the music that's playing around 5:09

thank you @@TheMabiNerd
I feel like Palia is the next closet thing to a modern Mabi
i am excited for this!
I’ve never cared for Mabi as a game for it’s gameplay, and yet I always come back because of the fashion, music, and community. I’ll be looking forward to seeing my character updated. As for the game itself… I hope the update breathes a bit more life into Iria. If not, I REALLY hope they overhaul Dunbarton. I’ve always felt Emain should have been the central hub area, and Dunby should be where Emain is, as it’s much more bland and lacks the things music players like (such as a dedicated stage). Still, it’s exciting news.
Game still looks amazing to me, but if this update with bring people to this game go realize it’s greatness then I’m here for it
does anyone know any aproximately release date? im planning to play eternity as my first mmorpg !
At the beginning what ver of the main title mabi theme is that
Hey sorry it took so long to reply here! Its an official instrumental cover of the main theme that was uploaded to the korean youtube channel. [마비노기] 어릴 적 할머니가 들려주신 옛 전설 (ver. Campfire)
I've been through the rebirth of Dofus, and its spin-off Wakfu; I can't wait for the rebirth of Mabinogi with Project Eternity.
I've never played Mabinogi. I've been a long time fan of MapleStory, and around 2017, I saw Mabinogi in the Nexon Launcher. I was interested in it, but never gave it a shot. I had some MapleStory friends who did play Mabinogi, and I forgot what they said about it, but I've always been interested in giving it a shot. Now that I'm hearing about Project Eternity, I'm interested in finally giving it a shot. I just have two things I'm not entirely sure about, and would appreciate if anyone could answer:
1) Should I play the game now or should I wait until the Unreal port and play it then?
2) What's the main gameplay loop like?
And if there's any exclusive rewards for playing before Project Eternity releases, let me know. I'm a complete sucker for exclusive rewards.
Wonderful video!~ I was wondering how the community is for Mabi streamers. Is it pretty tight knit?
Its kinda in the middle, a lot of the streamers know each other but its also a very welcoming community for new folks too I'd say!
u might wanna lower the background music, it was competing with your voice there
thanks for the heads up! I'll be more mindful of that in the futrue.
man's got drip I'll give you that much
I try man! Thank you! lol

I am about to CRY

You did not explain the games overall premise well, maybe in another video?
