You have to admit the fashion blend of renaissance with victoria's secret provides a unique look in the MMOG space. And it seems like there are some interesting ideas in the game mechanics, not least of which is you control three characters at once. So you can have your own holy-trinity squad of tank, nuker, and healer. How does this play out in an MMO? Does everyone solo their team? What are the venues for player cooperation and community-building? OK, the music video melodrama makes J-Pop look/sound mature, but does it really reflect on the game?

So she then just got back up and said, well that was easier than just telling him. Thanks and you got your work out too.
