Aion consistently amazes us with these video flybys of the various zones in the game world. Poeta, however, is exceptionally jaw-hinge-swinging due to its -- and we say this with a supreme amount of joy -- Final Fantasy XI and Guild Wars influences. Specifically, the music has a certain "Eff Eff" feel to it while many of the more tropical zones took us back to Maguuma Jungle in a wonderful way.
Sitting in the most northwestern portion of the world, Poeta is certainly going to be high on our list of "must explore" zones once Aion is released into the wild stateside. Big Download has the video, and you can check it out just above this post, too.

Feels like I wasted my money on darkfall when I first heard of AION... That game looks really amazing... wish I wouldn't have spend money on darkfall :(

Looks like North Kryta Province. A pretty nice looking environment but not so very extraordinary. If I'd choose something to be taken from the Guild Wars world it'd be the Kodash Bazaar with surrondings, and especially the floating trees really good looking.
Compared to other areas the area looks as good, but creativity felt lacking. In the end it still looks much much better than most other, if not all, MMOs that've been, or are going to be, released.

So folks, help me out here. Is Aion going to be like L2 or L1 or are they taking a different approach on this game?

Gorgeous zone!
MrGutts - Aion will NOT be like Lineage 2, or Lineage 1. It is a different franchise in it's entirety. They are focusing heavily on story, and quest progression. There will NOT be monster grinding like you found in Lineage. Aion has unparalleled character customization, as well.
There will be sieges and goal oriented PvP as well if that is your thing. (Think Warhammer, World of Warcraft)
