Finally! A remastered Blade & Soul that actually addresses some of the clunky mechanics of the original. If they’ve truly improved the UI/UX, this could be a game-changer. Hope they keep the core gameplay feel though!

Hype is REAL! Blade & Soul was my first MMO, and I have so many fond memories. If NEO lives up to the hype, I’ll be diving right back in. Bring on the nostalgic feels with a modern twist!

They better not mess this up. Blade & Soul had a great foundation, but it was let down by some performance issues and outdated graphics. I’m cautiously optimistic, hoping this NEO version delivers on its promises.

I’m a bit worried about them changing too much. The original had a certain charm, and sometimes remasters lose that. Hoping they strike a good balance between modernization and preserving the original’s unique identity.

Enhanced graphics and performance optimization are crucial. The original could be quite laggy at times. If they’ve addressed these issues, then NEO has the potential to be truly amazing. I hope they add a better storyline this time.

More responsive combat system? Yes, please! The combat in the original could feel a bit clunky at times. If they’ve improved that, along with the UI/UX, this could be a major upgrade.

New dungeons and PvP modes sound awesome! The original had some great PvP, but it could use a refresh. Really hoping this adds some new depth to the competitive aspect of the game.

I’m not convinced. NCSoft has a history of disappointing updates and abandoned projects. I’ll believe it when I see it. Will wait and see actual gameplay before I get my hopes up.

Graphics upgrades are nice, but gameplay is key. If the core mechanics remain uninspired, even the best visuals won’t save it. Hope they haven’t sacrificed gameplay for eye candy.
