Ragnarok Online II dated for 2010... finally

They wouldn't be able to create the same quality sprites such as Blazblue's though. There is a major difference. The game is designed to be played isometrically, so they'd have to hand draw every angle of the character while he is sitting, moving, emoting, whatever. Besides, imagine if there were 50 sprites of that caliber if it was possible, all moving and doing something. Hell, Odin Sphere and its Wii cousin Muramasa: The Demon Blades, are all hand-drawn sprites, and the game slows down on the consoles if there's more than several enemies on screen, or fighting a certain spider-like b***h who rules the underworld.

This game wasn't created by the same people who created original RO and thus won't work.

I am honestly at a loss for what I love about Ragnarok Online. I mean if I look at it objectively it is just an awful, grindy game with almost no features. I still loved it though.

Yea but thats also the wii we're talking about. A decent PC wouldn't have the same issues. Not to mention they've come a long way in the use of sprites. There's ways to have computer generated sprites, though technically there not sprites, but they look like it.

Not to mention there's more unique animations in one character of blazblue then all of RO1 (most likely). Its not like they have animations of skills linking together, each atk/skill is one unique animation, then add the fact that alot of skills reuse animations.

True Sol, but part of Blazblue's style is the fluidity that each character has in their moves, which is why its so easy for you to do combos that look cool, when you have little understanding of the game. That in itself involves a bloody good chunk of work. People forgive the old sprites for jagged actions and jumps, but they expect more detailed and fluid animations now if you are going to use them, else its just a cop-out.
And I doubt a decent PC could handle the situation I purposed, yes the Wii and PS2 are somewhat old, games like Shadow of the Colossus pushed the system to the very edge graphically, and to have it run at the same speed as the console on a computer, you'd still need a good setup for it.

Now throw in sprites of Blazblue's caliber, you'll also have to make sure the background matches (and if you haven't ever noticed, Blazblue lags online as it loads the stage up right til the counter hits 0 and the fight starts, then runs good). if you have highly detailed sprites on plain and basic backgrounds, people are going to hate on it right off the bat.

Now if you can design a game that offers such details, runs well even on my old laptop, suffers no lag, and has a background that doesn't look like it was ripped out of every other "ragnarok-styled" game, I'll gladly believe, but I honestly doubt all of that is possible. Besides, we are talking about a F2P game from 2007, probably before Gravity had any real experience with 3D (since Requiem is a nicely done game graphically), give it a break.

And Toy, the only reason I ever played RO was cause it was on one of the thousands of private servers, and friends talked me into it, and since I had only dial up and no money for a better comp, better internet, or WoW, it was the only choice. I honestly couldn't stand the game. I had several alts all between 50-70, but once I hit 71 the grind just became too much for me.
