@ReignOfMoE Because it's about Roleplaying, that's the experience, not just what you see on the screen. The Character you play defines what you act like.
@ReignOfMoE That's true, but what I'm trying to say is that they're not focusing on the whole Roleplaying side of things, it seems the online reason they choose their characters is because they look pretty.
The creation looks like it has depth-gonna pre order this next week and jut signed up for the BETA. Good time to be an MMO fan-this, B&S, GW2, Earthrise goes F2P, Aion goes F2P, The Secret World, Age of Conan goes F2P and even more in 2012. Can't wait.
@BoboTheMushroom I would say because as it being a RPG, we can always choose to play how we want to play and that's the beauty of RPG games. You might have heard of DrakeDog ( he's the only famous RPG player I know of) and his evil doings, but that doesn't mean that he is actually villain.
I find myself agreeing with you word to word.. I'd like - for a change - to see my female character properly dressed. As a girl I feel like the female's are made to look more like damsels/whores in danger than strong women fighting for a good cause - or why not a bad one?
@falatajion I'm glad. There are too many people conditioned to think a Pay-Per-Month is required for quality gaming. It's industry brain-washing, and is completely untrue. This is why the F2P model is being adapted across the MMO spectrum. I would not be surprised if the next big Blizzard mmo is a F2P/B2P game. The pay-per-month system is archaic, and even the president of Arenanet said at E3 that anyone trying to tell people that it's required for server upkeep is flat out lying.
@MechaShadowV2 This man speaks truth. The female designs usually just have a much more detailed/interesting armor, outfits, styles, etc. than the male ones. It's not nearly as much a male vs female thing or wanting to play a female as much as just being able to actually customize your character a lot more. Male character designs are usually really boring in MMOs and lack a lot of the details. And the guys who DO play to pretend to be girls, just know that is NOT the majority.
@iLunaki It is an automatic thing I put at the end when replying or chatting on UA-cam. Too many folks get offended when someone has a difference of opinion. Nice talking to you Falata.
@DarkCryo777 Again, you missed the point. "I was simply stating that everyone bases their rating of the game and how well it will do solely on the "hotness" of the characters." We're only doing that because that's clearly what the developers are doing.
@Dire327 seem reason there are female game players that play male characters on the games, for the most part, and i admit that to some degree i play female characters for the obvious reasons... its also in large part because the developers spend more time on the female models, armor, and stuff, as such there more detail/oprions, and i really hate being limited, so, yea, for me at least, its 90% about customization, the armor, and how cool/detailed it all looks.
Game Price = 60 dollars, (maybe) PC Cost = 4K TO 10K depending on what kind of graphs and textures you want to have while playing and if you want to play it without lag
love oriental games because they are full of details and fine arts made with fantastic design. Besides having good taste in terms of hair style and clothing and armor. Who has a sense of beauty and has a good mentality not bothered with stereotypes placed by some.
I think Oriental is still a legitimate term to use in some countries and not seen as being old fashioned or bad in any way, of course whether or not there from a country where that's the case, idk.
@Dire327 Threre are two reasons for me. With the third person camera i have to look at the back (ass) of my char all the time and most outfits just look better on female chars, mage robes for example. And yes i do have a girlfriend.
@DarkCryo777 And not that's not the point of an RPG. Especially a fantasy one set in a medieval theme. You role play the reality in which you're seeing. As in, I want to believe that a female is going to survive an onslaught of orcs with swords and arrows. What you're wanting, and what we're seeing, is the point of Second Life - my friend.
@TreborMarg I honestly wasn't aiming that comment at anyone is particular. I just go around on random youtube videos, and post random fucked up shit. But its funny to see you get worked up over a single word comment. :D
I don't get why people are questioning the lack of armor... the enemies in this game and other characters make it pretty obvious that there's magic. Who's to say that there aren't any magical barriers covering up what's being left out? Less armor would make you more agile anyway. And less armor is good to distract people too. :3
@Josh350 I Think we both agree on the slutty clothes thing, but I have hopes for the in game clothes since it seems there are set of armors which goes toward too slutty and other less slutty which are acceptable.(5:40 1st and 2nd sets seems fine/not bad, 3rd a bit stylish I guess for people who want different look, the 4th set is totally slutty...) Well, every MMO got grinding but with the free aim system seems it gonna be fun and with friends I bet there will be priceless moments! =P
Ugh... can't character designers see there's a difference between "feminine" and "ridiculously slutty"? No person, male or female, human, elf, pink demon, rock person, or animal fetish-thing would go into battle against GIGANTIC MONSTERS in that kind of clothes!!!
@mhaneline thats true.. but the only difference with that is i cant control what they see when am out.. but i can when am home. eh i get what u mean though..
@Eggfriedmice It still excludes features to some players by having a cash shop, I like an MMO where you can all have a chance to obtain an item,cosmetic,costume etc. Without having the need to buy it and most pay to play MMO's feature this. It's not like I said I wouldn't give it a chance read my previous posts, when GW2 does come out I promise to buy a copy and give it a go so I can see for myself how the free to play system works for it, since I never really liked one before...
It's not the eye candy that's the problem. The problem is that there is little to no variation in armor. It's a hentai fantasy with no options for people who want to look different.
Why on earth does the head have so many customization options, but the body; none? Given we're hardly seeing the faces of our characters when we play, I don't understand why the body has been given no customization detail at all when it's what we'll be looking at nearly all the time. That doesn't make sense O.O
i just assume u kno alot bout tera and id like to know is that game worth paying or is cod blackops 2 better when you have friends?! id like to buy a better arouter and that game for xmass Or buy sme gmaes fr consoles but idk what to chose
@LyeLye completly agree with you,I never see comments about male chars,and some games do have hot males,like Guild Wars 2 and this one.But it have to be a combo of face and body lol
@DarkCryo777 AWESOME POST. This whole game is bright and beautiful and there's a whole race of ugly huge people if you find that beautiful. This game has a race for everybody. I can't wait to escape in this world.
@FluffyWesties By the way you didn't come of as racist its just your preference in beauty, everyone has one they just don't say it out loud as much :).
@LostFaceify Actually, I am. Just because I sit in a chair for a few hours doesn't mean I don't work out. Or take care of myself. Keep thinking that. It'll get you messed up one day.
@mhaneline lol i do.. jus pay attention to everything.. plus all those things u called off they dont see.. we live in the bahamas.. so yea.. its very limited on what they see and hear.
@Dire327 for me it's just for kicks and giggles. My mains are always male but i almost always make 1 female alt for a different experience. I DON'T think a guy should only play as female characters though... use a male as your main if you're a dude... so much less weird that way...
Taking this from a professional stand point it would be perfectly normal. Since everyone needs to understand even before mmorpg's, Asian RPG's have always had beautiful girls (Tifa in FF) and pretty boys (like Cloud, Sephiroth and Squall) on the list of characters. Basically the women in the game are the kind of women the gamers wished they met in real life and the men in the game are the kind of man the gamers respect or wished they were or looked like.
@everx7 man you have issues.. this is the best looking characters I ever played.. And I'm a gamer from the beginning of the mmo age.. Can't wait to play this one.
@iLunaki Had to reply to this. You are spot on. If anyone is offended by this games character design, then do not play it. Well said. However, this is NOT high fantasy. If you want high fantasy you should take a look at the art work by Larry Elmore for the Dragonlance games. The game is fantasy with all the usual trappings, but the costume design is no where near high fantasy. Not talking down to you or trying to be a prick. Just wanted to point the above out.
@Dire327 and also, i've only known a few guys to actually pretend to be a woman when playing a female character, most of them are rather young guys, so yeah, in that case its probably mostly just to get close to girls, sadly, giving the rest of us male players that play female characters bad names P.S., of most of the guys i play mmos with, most of them actually will play both male and female characters, just depending on the character/game/setting or whatever.
Man, comments under Tera videos should be blocked. We finally get characters who don't look like made out of cardboard and all people do is whine how breasts are too jiggly, outfits too revealing and God knows what else. Who gives a damn, graphics are great, combat is fresh and that's what matters.
@Fajjani many young asian women undergo surgeries to fulfill to the 'caucasianized' beauty standards in their countries. as much as 25% of young Korean women nowadays get plastic surgery to make their noses smaller, jawline less wide or their eyes larger. Just saying. Women in manga and such don't look typical asian either and that's pretty much their beauty standard
@Albanian2Be I play SWTOR and am currently one of the top geared/best played marauders on Hyperspace Cannon, SWTOR is 100% like WoW if you put training wheels on boss mechanics. SWTOR is fun up until you get to 50 where poor testing and bugs pile up to frustrate and harass you. Not only that, but Bioware doesn't know a single thing about balancing.
@Dire327 To me it is all about creating roleplay for stories,not pretending to be something I am not.And sometimes,female character fits better then a male one.But if people ask,I don't hide it.My characters,male or female,is all about promoting RP,nothing else.And,what the heck,they are nice to look at anyways.We men are simple creatures,why not have something nice to stare at huh?At least,that is how women usually look at us,right?And funny part is,I have met chicks,RP'ing males!!OMG!
For all the complaining I hear about tits in this game, I'm just glad that, ridiculous physics or not, there's finally a game where chick characters are allowed to have tits instead of being a bunch of kate moss lookalikes. Anyone who drools at pixels has never been with a real woman or prefers the virtual thing, which is their problem - but I appreciate the ability to make a character look however you want it to look. TERA seems to give some pretty good control over that.
@FluffyWesties Well since they are Asian just like you said, it would be normal to be interested in looks that your own race doesn't possess just like in the West some consider exotic beauty beautiful (not necessarily meaning Asian) look at Victoria's Secret. For professional photo shoots I would understand the want for Caucasian models, since sadly rarely do Asians have the height and build that photographers want, but all in all I agree that most of the women I find attractive are Caucasian.
I don't have anything against "oversized" body customization,just I don't like when I pick a female toon and no matter what armor I use,I always looks half-naked,even in HEAVY armor,I mean....what If I wanna look like a normal girl,and not some pornstar,for once?
MY GOD!!!! They're ALL BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! And I love how they look and how the designers took their time. Might play this game somtimes. :)
This has got to be the best looking mmo ive seen lately
@ReignOfMoE Because it's about Roleplaying, that's the experience, not just what you see on the screen. The Character you play defines what you act like.
@ReignOfMoE That's true, but what I'm trying to say is that they're not focusing on the whole Roleplaying side of things, it seems the online reason they choose their characters is because they look pretty.
The priest armor at the beginning was super cute!
The creation looks like it has depth-gonna pre order this next week and jut signed up for the BETA. Good time to be an MMO fan-this, B&S, GW2, Earthrise goes F2P, Aion goes F2P, The Secret World, Age of Conan goes F2P and even more in 2012. Can't wait.
@BoboTheMushroom I would say because as it being a RPG, we can always choose to play how we want to play and that's the beauty of RPG games. You might have heard of DrakeDog ( he's the only famous RPG player I know of) and his evil doings, but that doesn't mean that he is actually villain.
@rayano wow the resemblance is pretty spot on.
I find myself agreeing with you word to word.. I'd like - for a change - to see my female character properly dressed. As a girl I feel like the female's are made to look more like damsels/whores in danger than strong women fighting for a good cause - or why not a bad one?
@falatajion I'm glad. There are too many people conditioned to think a Pay-Per-Month is required for quality gaming. It's industry brain-washing, and is completely untrue. This is why the F2P model is being adapted across the MMO spectrum. I would not be surprised if the next big Blizzard mmo is a F2P/B2P game. The pay-per-month system is archaic, and even the president of Arenanet said at E3 that anyone trying to tell people that it's required for server upkeep is flat out lying.

And the guys who DO play to pretend to be girls, just know that is NOT the majority.
Going Castanic or Human definitely. It's about time I get to customize my MMO character like a Sims character!
@iLunaki
It is an automatic thing I put at the end when replying or chatting on UA-cam. Too many folks get offended when someone has a difference of opinion. Nice talking to you Falata.
Great insight! Very profound.
@DarkCryo777 Again, you missed the point.
"I was simply stating that everyone bases their rating of the game and how well it will do solely on the "hotness" of the characters."
We're only doing that because that's clearly what the developers are doing.
@Dire327 seem reason there are female game players that play male characters on the games, for the most part, and i admit that to some degree i play female characters for the obvious reasons... its also in large part because the developers spend more time on the female models, armor, and stuff, as such there more detail/oprions, and i really hate being limited, so, yea, for me at least, its 90% about customization, the armor, and how cool/detailed it all looks.
the spider like suit looks great
@SaijmonSan 6 lines does not a wall make unless you are 3.
@Meleoffs ok one thing the game isnt out yet how the hell are you playing it? Is this a privet server or you play beta version?
Game Price = 60 dollars, (maybe) PC Cost = 4K TO 10K depending on what kind of graphs and textures you want to have while playing and if you want to play it without lag
@StevensonMark GW2 combat is tab targeting just like improved version of WoW
whats with their shoulders at the beginning
This faces are awesome, there are much more variety unlike elves ones which are all the same structure.
love oriental games because they are full of details and fine arts made with fantastic design. Besides having good taste in terms of hair style and clothing and armor. Who has a sense of beauty and has a good mentality not bothered with stereotypes placed by some.
I think Oriental is still a legitimate term to use in some countries and not seen as being old fashioned or bad in any way, of course whether or not there from a country where that's the case, idk.
@Burntrocity No, it's about 4 months old....
@Dire327 Threre are two reasons for me. With the third person camera i have to look at the back (ass) of my char all the time and most outfits just look better on female chars, mage robes for example. And yes i do have a girlfriend.
Not the lancer! xP She looks beautiful with that armor on her.
Does it make any difference if you choose a race??? Like if I choose an elf does it give me more magic immunity or something like that ???
So I guess the new wow will be GW2 and Terra and C9 are just gonna compete.... Right?
@MediaMaster9000 Those were the randomized faces.
Is there a game after this, or is it just Fantasy Female Maker?
@SoftwareTheft then use the awsome ignore feature and play with your friend... you know your friend..
@DarkCryo777 And not that's not the point of an RPG. Especially a fantasy one set in a medieval theme. You role play the reality in which you're seeing. As in, I want to believe that a female is going to survive an onslaught of orcs with swords and arrows.
What you're wanting, and what we're seeing, is the point of Second Life - my friend.

@XellDincht if that in yen, and not converted into the currency of your country, just so you know a little over 100 yen is equivalent of 1 us dollar.
1:04 is a face from aion mmo rpg
when does this game come out does it have a release date yet? month and day?
Male creation deserves more views...
Dang dang dang thats is wow this makes me want this game just dang.
@mhaneline
thats true.. but the only difference with that is i cant control what they see when am out.. but i can when am home. eh i get what u mean though..
okey... after watching this, i want to start playing TERA online character creation
The random button reminds me of "If they mated" from Conan
@Dire327 I think you don't understand the RPG in MMORPG.
the music is almost like orzamar - dragon age.... love it go inon zur
Okay you’ve got a point there, I don’t like repetitive gameplay much ether. But still for what it’s worth they could have done worse, much worse.
@Eggfriedmice It still excludes features to some players by having a cash shop, I like an MMO where you can all have a chance to obtain an item,cosmetic,costume etc. Without having the need to buy it and most pay to play MMO's feature this. It's not like I said I wouldn't give it a chance read my previous posts, when GW2 does come out I promise to buy a copy and give it a go so I can see for myself how the free to play system works for it, since I never really liked one before...
Soul Edge is awaiting you
@falatajion Yeah we'll see how that theory holds up when GW2 comes out and demolishes the MMO status quo.
Asian MMOs. Where no one is average looking and everyone has fantastically creative hairstyles despite being impractical to their profession.
Humans have the best music :)
the female characters (human.castanic and elves) are pretty similar to lineage 2...like super hot dark elves (castanic)
It's not the eye candy that's the problem. The problem is that there is little to no variation in armor. It's a hentai fantasy with no options for people who want to look different.
Some of those randomized faces were hilarious.
Why on earth does the head have so many customization options, but the body; none?
Given we're hardly seeing the faces of our characters when we play, I don't understand why the body has been given no customization detail at all when it's what we'll be looking at nearly all the time.
That doesn't make sense O.O
i just assume u kno alot bout tera and id like to know is that game worth paying or is cod blackops 2 better when you have friends?! id like to buy a better arouter and that game for xmass Or buy sme gmaes fr consoles but idk what to chose
Is this using the Unreal 3 Engine? It looks like it...
@LyeLye completly agree with you,I never see comments about male chars,and some games do have hot males,like Guild Wars 2 and this one.But it have to be a combo of face and body lol
@DarkCryo777 AWESOME POST. This whole game is bright and beautiful and there's a whole race of ugly huge people if you find that beautiful. This game has a race for everybody.
I can't wait to escape in this world.
@MrCarnages You also played with barbies as a kid.
Great graphics for the game. I hope that the gameplay is good so I can at least do something else in the game other then starting at my toon XD
The body sliders dont change nothing.
@FluffyWesties By the way you didn't come of as racist its just your preference in beauty, everyone has one they just don't say it out loud as much :).
@PunkBuzter I agree as well, its just that simple.
Those weapons seem really impractical.
@LostFaceify Actually, I am. Just because I sit in a chair for a few hours doesn't mean I don't work out. Or take care of myself. Keep thinking that. It'll get you messed up one day.
@BlankShadowz Took your advice and checked it out, pretty solid graphics might try it when it comes out :)
@lolpwnutzlol Pretty sad this game's randomize button is better than the best character we could create in Skyrim and Dark Souls combined.
1:02 girl already perfect
@mhaneline
lol i do.. jus pay attention to everything.. plus all those things u called off they dont see.. we live in the bahamas.. so yea.. its very limited on what they see and hear.
you can say things about this game but graphic is flawless
@Dire327 for me it's just for kicks and giggles. My mains are always male but i almost always make 1 female alt for a different experience.
I DON'T think a guy should only play as female characters though... use a male as your main if you're a dude... so much less weird that way...
@falatajion well, caucasians invented the medieval-europe styled roleplaying games
@ReignOfMoE I'd rather be a brutish type of character, what better way to start than being a man?
@falatajion So, what about Guild Wars 2 then? Oh right, its free 2 play, and the only microtransactions are for aesthetics.
Taking this from a professional stand point it would be perfectly normal. Since everyone needs to understand even before mmorpg's, Asian RPG's have always had beautiful girls (Tifa in FF) and pretty boys (like Cloud, Sephiroth and Squall) on the list of characters. Basically the women in the game are the kind of women the gamers wished they met in real life and the men in the game are the kind of man the gamers respect or wished they were or looked like.

@MechaShadowV2
what i read thats the price they pay in Japan
0:12 - 0:13 perfection
@Dire327 and also, i've only known a few guys to actually pretend to be a woman when playing a female character, most of them are rather young guys, so yeah, in that case its probably mostly just to get close to girls, sadly, giving the rest of us male players that play female characters bad names
P.S., of most of the guys i play mmos with, most of them actually will play both male and female characters, just depending on the character/game/setting or whatever.
TERA wins on concept character design.
is it in english?
what game is this ?
@DarkCryo777 wonderfully said. meow.
god i love the blue spider suit:D

I want to know can u play offline

She kinda looks like Anna Faris towards the end.
