That's all it is, a generic mobile "mmo" with mabi graphics slapped on.
The gameplay completely different
Gear system completely different.
World completely different
Not even the same game at this point.
= No interest.
is been from last year that steparu website doesn't get updated i thought that cat died...
Well this mobile version isn't being made/hosted by DevCat/Nexon. They just sold the rights to this Chinese company to service this region (mostly).
This game I believe doesn't factor in the decision making of what happens with the current Mabi.
Pleione Engine is just too outdated for that, and devCat/Nexon will probably not update it as that would require a lot of coding.
Mabinogi's Code is, as i was told, a steaming pile of garbage to the degree that the current Devs are having trouble updating old content. We see the Dungeon Update as lacking, but if the Interview i've read is true, they spent a lot of time figuring out the Dungeon Code to even do a small update on Dungeons.
To Update the Graphics of Mabinogi they would need to rewrite the whole game on a new Engine, this would mean that for the whole time that takes there's no new Content, just recycled Events and Gachas to even fund the whole rework.
At that point it would probably be easier for them to scrap Mabinogi as a whole and pick up the Mabinogi 2 Idea again.
Personally i feel there's a certain charm to Mabinogi. I think i wouldn't like hair suddenly having physics.
The pragmatic approach is basically this. It's far better to just create a new game than it is to change the engine on this. Too many things are tied and bound in this to ever work elsewhere.
If I knew, if Nexon told us, that they were rewriting the game and to not expect new content in the meantime, I would happily wait and maybe even throw them a dollar or two. I totally agree though that mabi 2 is the easier option at this point.
Natural flowing hair to match the weather?
Dripping sweat that glistens in the summer sun?

It just seems very very wrong that Nexon would release another mobile mabinogi game in the same quarter as their official one. Granted these are different regions but companies tend to be very picky with their IPs.
I've played a lot of Rebirth and it feels like L2 Mobile with a mabinogi skin. The only nice things this has over other mobile MMOlites is that it retains the idea that skills needs to be trained and that all skills contribute to your stat total. I'm heavily hype for Mabi Mobile, but this I just feel is still breaking a law somewhere.
I've had my suspicions about that too. I mean...what if those documents and everything presented at that conference is fake? I wish we could get confirmation from KR about this...
"They just sold the rights to this Chinese company"
Wow I missed that part somehow, sorry you had to point that out lol.
But now we're kinda wondering if this is actually for real or are the chinese making bootlegs again...
Anyway, the OBT is over at the moment so we'll see what happens.
As i mentioned, Pleione Engine is just that crappy. It's already huge they managed to create the SAO-Outfit Action :^)
