So some people are actually playing it, in some sort of beta I assume? The news about B&S rarely comes to the US. I haven't really heard anything about it in a year or so. Be nice to get an actual update and see if it was coming to the states or not.

Same here. Its the Asian Beta of course (can't quite remember which region, guessing Japanese beta). Definitely liking the background of the shot.

The first closed beta was done in Korea recently, which shows the game's prologue/tutorial and a bit more.

It's made by NCSoft, so I'd say there's a high likelihood there'll be an English release (eventually), though I think it's likely China or Japan will get their release first. Such games usually performs much better in the Asian market. The Western market as a percentage of NCSoft earnings is very small.

It's supposedly coming to the states, but it will be like any other port, it'll be about a year or more after it launches in Asia before we see it.

Calling a Lyn a "child" is something of a misnomer.

They're cute midgets, not children. :p They do grow past the age of 13, y'know...

It's definitely on my radar. My first intial impression of this interesting title is a hybrid of Soulcalibur and Street Fighter, adapted for the MMO sensibility.

This is a game I am seriously debating getting when it launches on Korea despite the fact that lag/not being able to read anything/having to deal with the possible IP lock will be a pain. IT'S JUST SO FREAKING PRETTY! That and it does seem pretty fun too, but that comes after how pretty it looks.
