An Incoming Cygnus Knight Revamp?

$10 they are going to raise the cygnus level cap to 150, blame it on being pissed that the nightmare showed how weak they are or something, and want to get stronger.

I dunno, some random excuse to give them a wee bit more power. That or 140, just to wear the empress gear.

Knights of ...light..

That's kinda the point. This could be a post-Future Ereve scenario where the whole place has been sanctified. Or perhaps it is the start of such scenario where Dark Mikhail revolts against the dark empress.

The five Legendary Heroes as shown in Aran's intro:



Hmm.....

It's highly debatable how much Wizet looks to that image for reference, or planned ahead when they made it, seeing how Mercedes has a normal bow, Freud is without Afrien and has spikey hair, and the guy in front doesn't really have much in common with Phantom.

But they like fucking Pirates, so.....

Let's hope they don't remember the intro, or read this post and get any ideas.

Nice try...nah who am i kidding. Just...no. You and everyone else read way too far into this image than was intended at this point. I probably did too when it was released, but that was YEARS ago, and there clearly isn't any significance to it anymore.

Lol'd.

Dude they disproved that picture in like 09.....lol

From white-gold to red-gold cape, defiently another sword, the headgear expanded over his face and the wings.

For now, it IS confirmed it has to do with the Soul Warriors. I wonder if there will be updated leaders, too...

Has Nexon ran out of ideas? Looking at the content we have received during the last year, I would say so.

I seriously don't want anymore revamps. Not even new classes. I want some actual new features and maps, I wouldn't mind a big revamp to the current features either.

I feel like you're only fighting against that artwork being Mikhail because there isn't 100% proof to saying that he is, so you're certain no one can prove you wrong w/o having the artist himself tell you otherwise.
(Even though most people who look on the character select screen would see those 5 CKs and assume that they're the same ones in-game, since all of them match enough, except for 1.)

Other people's assumptions don't count as facts.
Unfortunately, this discussion is one of opinions since any "word of god" will come far after the discussion is over.

Your analysis of my argument is flawed though. I'm not arguing that it's not Mikhail just "because there isn't 100% proof to saying that he is, so you're certain no one can prove you wrong". That would imply that I'm arguing just to argue.
I legitimately do not feel that that image is meant to portray Mikhail.
Should I be proven wrong, I'll adjust myself accordingly, but, unless that happens, I will remain believing it's a generic Dawn Warrior.

The only one that doesn't match almost perfectly is Mikhail, and the main difference is just his armor.

I'd actually argue that all of those second set of pictures (excluding Cygnus) are meant to be generic Cygnus Knights modeled after their respective instructors seeing as, to me, they all look significantly younger.

And meh, just for the hell of it:
The 2 main examples of them "redesigning character artwork" that come to mind are:
Dual Blade during Chaos, and Dual Blade again just recently.

Dual Blades are playable classes and, as you'll note, the latest redesign actually resulted in a redesign of the in-game character.

Still, ^ This would be pretty cool. It'd take a lot of work to make CKs be able to hit 200 fairly, so I wouldn't mind a tougher (more unique) branch of CKs that could actually count as "mains" or whatnot.
Actually, thinking about it...I definitely want that to happen =o *crosses fingers*

I'd, admittedly, probably become excited at the idea of playing the new class, but I always am far too conscious of the fact that I'm going to end up training at the same damn places anyway.

Maple seriously needs more training variety...
