While the music and visual part seems awesome, the monsters and the actual expansion, alongside the items introduced look very disappointing. We only have to wait to see the new story now, because if it's just a "NLC Big Bang" with barely 3 visually new monsters, then i can't really look at it without thinking as just an excuse to add those money hungry strategies. :S
When they mentioned something new about equipments, i was expecting the old meaning, weapon and armor sets, something worth hunting for like it was before, not just a ripoff from Potential system. If one wasn't bad enough, another one is just terrible.
Also, one thing became pretty clear. If the new and destroyed NLC replaces the old one and everything is set at present, then it's more likely a goodbye to at least 14 new areas. Because, Affluent Tower won't be able to be acessed if it's just crap, the "hole" in the top of the continent has already been filled. This expansion just looks like they're saying "Have a new area, while we just destroy the other possibilities and the rest of the story". I can't really look at this without thinking this is some sort of final chapter, so they can avoid people begging for Masteria updates and continue with their revamp madness.
