I mean, their Maple warrior animation is AWESOME an they even developed a new type of weapon for the whole class. I mean seriously. Why doesn't any other version of MS get something this amazingly original (well compared to everything GMS has gotten in recent patches, this is completely original).
Isn't this developed in Korea anyways? They've simply decided to allocate more resources and "exclusives" to Japan, which makes perfect sense, seeing as that territory is twice as profitable as the Americas*. No surprise here.
That being said, keep in mind that this year GMS got the NLC "expansion" and Jett. While they aren't very original nor terribly interesting, a good sum of money has been poured into here. Not to mention a lot of work done on the back-end, what with server merges and overall stronger attention to game stability, bug fixes, and such in the past several months. That's all in addition to the constantly accelerating pace of KMS >> GMS porting schedule. I'd say it's been pretty damn fair.
