It used to have its own identity, but now its identity is whatever is dying at the moment. If Lostark, Aion, or FFXIV or any mmo is dying, Dongmin and the general director are going to release updates that imitate those games. Because mabinogi isn't its own game anymore, it's a coffin collector.
It collects the players of dying mmos, and tries to get them to stick around with small bits of familiarity after they've quit those other titles for their own reasons.

It's like the Spirit Halloween store. It takes on the image of the games that are in decline in hopes of attracting those players after they've suffered mismanagement from other declining titles. Mabinogi is essentially a crossroad graveyard, and it will try to take advantage of the misfortunes of other live services by imitating short lived 2nd-hand nostalgia from those titles.

    I don't think you understand, it a catering response to other declining titles in hopes to catch the disgruntled players with a big enough net. Rather than use Mabinogi to appeal to anyone, the game is being tarnished while imitating other declining mmo's to try to advertise itself in their image. You'll see alot of the mimicry with the gear system since New Rise imitating Lost Ark and Dragonnest Especially.
