I came across these banner while browsing anime sites on the net.

I can't find the storyline in game? Can someone help point me in the right direction? I'm a huge Asuna and Rin Tohska fan so I'd like to experience their story. Much appreciated in advance.

    those are limited time events that happened a looong ago;; mabi tends to do crossovers with anime's every once in a while. they're not usually brought back sadly :c

    Problem is some ad sites do not update the ads and/or use false advertising.

    But yea, once in a while there are anime crossover events.
    There was a vocaloid event as well a couple years back.

    As was said above, they were limited time events, however you can still try to get the outfits and wigs in game by buying from other players, if you have enough gold or something worth trading :)

    So I can no longer access the story? Aw that suck. Guess I'll uninstall then. Thanks for the info. Is there a reason why they don't just keep it around for newcomers who are fans of those franchise?

    Licensing. :/ You can still buy the outfits from the event though they're scattered amoung players and may be quite much for a new player. Though the game is pretty good by itself so you may still have fun.

    One simple word explains it all: Copyright. Also they weren't actual storylines, just events, minigames, and outfits/weapons based on the anime. Some had little extras like character titles or that one crossover that had a giant chicken pet thing.

    Outfits and weapons are still around on the markets in every server. Even the old Miku stuff from years ago can be found if you look hard enough.

    So if you stuck around, you could have eventually obtained the items needed to be Kirito or Saber or whatever.

    ...still waiting for that FMA crossover though. One can dream.

    There wasn't much story to either of them anyways. SAO was like some NPC hopping, a bunch of pointless dungeon runs (not even SAO specific dungeons...normal Mabinogi dungeons repeatedly), and then a fight with Heathcliff that lasted all of 2 minutes. People only cared about the costumes, weapons, and of course the adorable little Yui

    rgBApNc.png

    the Fate Stay Night was just a mission where you protect a crystal from waves of enemies, and a board game minigame. Homestead miniatures

    t6Hn9PT.png

    The Utawarerumono event was even more lackluster. it was ONLY a gachapon sale and a clothing shuffle gachapon. but there was the most adorable bird pet.

    The problem with 'keeping them around' is they'd have to continuously pay license fees and royalties to the creators of the series. That's how this stuff works. If you joined only for the story you would have been gravely disappointed. Judging by your post you literally only were attracted to Mabinogi for these anime event.... now you're not giving the game itself a chance at all. that's rather lame. goodbye, my friend

    I can understand the disappointment from getting hyped up by the ads just to be let down by reality lol it would be nice if they would do some more crossover stuff, even if it's not the same stuff. Alas, it takes money to secure copyrights.

    Honestly, I did. But I'm not really digging the progression mechanic. I mean I got to like lvl 41 and I barely got any increment of a few points across the stat board. Skills are a grindfest.(Tried to do blacksmith but still stuck at rank f) The only guy talking keep spamming something about gold over and over again and won't answer my question. Everyone else ignored me. So I gave up. Hope we meet again someday sometime somewhere on the vastness of the net.

    Don't join the hate-wagon plz. They're not so bad if you gave them a fair shot. Especially fate. Sad story. Quite an emotional ride.

    You literally dove in head first to one of the hardest to rank skills in the game and second you were talking to a bot.

    LMAO xD I'm sorry... I can't help but laugh, but that's true. Blacksmithing and other life skills are usually hard to train. Basic combat skills tend to be easier. You earn stats from ranking skills in this game, not from leveling up... that's why we are able to rebirth to gain more ap to rank more skills up.

    LOL

    to be fair the poster doesn't seem to have really researched the game much so them being disheartened by it is understandable however the bot thing sorry but that's just amusing.
    Still ASUNAXRIN in case you didn't know this already you aren't locked into a class in mabi so you can do another freely so i implore you to try another class and see if you enjoy it.

    Are there even any Mabinogi advertisements? The only thing that counts as advertisement I've seen in a very long time was a 30 second video on Facebook and even that has disappeared. They really should do more advertising.

    We need to get rid of all these bots. They're ruining first impressions.
