Doesn't help anyone? Or it doesn't help you specifically? You are not everyone else, you cannot argue for everyone else. Maker is way better in the sense that it allows players to get better equips than Neo Tokyo because more people can use it. The only advantages I remember are that the one handed sword is fast(4), and reverse equips can easily surpass the others with a few levels, something that, though the Neo Tokyo weapons appear to do, they don't, last I checked. The only stupidity in this thread is from your own arrogance, everyone that argues against you is not stupid. And where's your logic when you say we won't get Ninja Castle? The existence of Neo City does not affect the existance of Zipangu, Showa, and Ninja Castle, Neo City and the Japan World Tour areas are completely independent of each other, there's no real logic there besides your own assumptions.

We've heard no reports suggesting that Neo City has any particularly useful training spots or other benefits for individuals of any level; given Nexon's track record, the opposite is more likely.

I may be missing something from this discussion, but I might point out that the Neo Tokyo equips are Maker-able, although not in the usual sense. The weapons may not be as powerful as reverse or timeless equips, but they confer a number of interesting benefits- namely a chance at inflicting status effects, though there are also other notables, such as the lukless wand and the faster 1h sword.

As for Ninja Castle and other foreign content, it is not unreasonable to assume that Korea will continue working through other world tour areas for theme dungeons; and since we are now getting Kerning Square and Neo City in place of Formosa and Neo Tokyo, it's not unreasonable to suggest that we have a decreased chance of seeing other world tour content in its original form.
