The art direction comes from Hyung-Tae Kim who's resume include War of Genesis and Magma Carta, anyone who has seen any of his artbook knows that skimpy outfit on gorgeous anime-ish females comes part and parcel with his art.
I'd be lying if I'd say the cute girls didn't grab my eyes at first, but what has kept my interest is the amazing martial art coreography displayed in the trailer. No western MMO and very little western games in general truely capture the artsy 'feel' of a chinese martial art film.
This game comes pretty close and it will be interesting to follow its conception and birth.
The game is using the Unreal3 engine btw and given that it is NCSoft, there might even be a chance of a western server launch eventually.
