Ah well even though they closed the servers, it still is a great legend and wonderful that fans of it got priceless moments playing it
it really is the most creative and open minded game in the franchise. very underrated and think under better circumstances, it could've been a great success.
(though yea the mainstream sure have bipolar tastes, they overrate some games and underrate other games.)

yea sure its graphics weren't perfect, but it still has an aura of charm to it.
with refinement and better budget and resources it could've been super gorgeous
but even with what they had, the developers clearly put a lot of passion and detail to it.

the battle system is one of a kind too. while not as flashy and fast paced like God Hand,
it has a lot more depth, variety, and epicness to it.
plus combined with an open world shared with other players, even spectating other people's fights is a profound experience.

so really just commemorating one of the unsung masterpieces of the industry, all masterpieces don't have to be mainstream,
or the best eye candy of its time to be outstanding.

would say its one of the most underrated games ever, yea even though I didn't play it, seeing archived videos of it and the small community it had, there is clearly a lot of one of a kind entertainment values its fans found in it. and they would still play it if it was supported.

its a shame really, just like also Dragon Ball Online, that despite even having a lot of great things, didnt get a big enough reception to keep going, but its also the developers/publishers fault keeping it within the asian regions. it could have gotten a larger following in NA and EU. some japanese and korean devs largely underestimate how much larger and hungrier the western markets are for mmo and multiplayer games, especially if they are different from the usual western stuff.

found some epic videos with audio! really amazing sound effects and music and brutal techniques!
