JapanMS Summer Update Teaser

http://maplestory.nexon.co.jp/campaign/s...update.asp




"MapleStory : In 15 days" is what the logo says, I think.


In any case, this looks great! I can't wait to see what it is! So much anxious... so much excite... cannot contain self...

I want to know what all the writing says on the right and left corners.

Love the font too.

expecting....

JMS exclusive content is always interesting. Perhaps an exclusive class? Seems to be the in thing these days.

This may actually be a new area. The sound track they used on the site isn't found in the game in any shape or form. I recall that JapanMS used the Neo Tokyo tracks as the BGM for their teaser page before it was released as well.

Taking a look at the MP3 file, the size and length are comparable to recent BGMs (roughly 2 minutes in length, 1MB or so). The bitrate is also identical at 80kbps. What's really interesting is that they left the "Contributing artists" tag on as "StudioEIM". Is that the third-party that Nexon goes to for their soundtracks? Everything points to a new area of some sorts.

The page looks "Asian".

Seems like it is the company that Nexon has make their BGMs.


Anyway, I wonder what this could be... I hope it's awesome/comes to GMS.

Lmao. NTL is a part of that list. NTL is the developer of Dragon Ball Online. I guess that means the same people who do the music for MapleStory do the music for Dragon Ball Online. :f6:


All of the JP players are speculating this is a JMS-original class. It's certainly not far-fetched with what we've seen from GMS, CMS and TaiwanMS as of late.


The most popular speculation is a Samurai class, as a warrior (of course). If that is to be, I have 37% STR (34%, if it doesn't use shields) that I can use on it. That would be extremely convenient.


Another interesting speculation is that it's an expansion to Kaede Castle. That would be nice.



F'ucking lol. Suggested skill by a JP player :

切腹 [マスターレベル:1]
腹を切る。

"Seppuku [Master Level : 1]
Cut open your stomach."

Looking forward to this. I always enjoy seeing JMS Exclusives!

Samurai sounds awesome.

For Samurai, it would probably be a Two Handed Sword wielding class considering Samurai uses both hands to wield Swords/Katanas.

Reminds me of Okami.

A traditional Japanese area done in brushwork style would be really cool

The right bottom part looks like a japanese traditional boat to me, I don't know the name but my dad had one.


Compare the left part of this one and the right of the image, and look that in the JMS image there is a flat darker ground but there is some smog in it (the clouds) so i'd be a sea/lake.

So, I vote for another Jett/Dragon warrior but with better design and probably not a total copy of corsairs and buccaneers.

I'm pretty sure no one cares but StudioEIM creates music for Vindictus and possibly other games.

あと拾伍日

...after the 15th day?

-shrug-

edit: it seems to be written... -old-like, I've never seen 15 written like that and I've studied Japanese for 5 years.

Maybe I'm just stupid, could be.

Edit 2: I cheated and put メイプルストーリあと拾伍日 in Google Translate:

"After Sun XV maple story"
or just "After Sun XV"

In my mind new music = new area. Making this teaser one of the most promising exclusive content pieces of the summer.

new area maybe is where "some class" has born so...

Well that teaser page didn't spoil much... But the BGM is awesome.

Manji as job instructor!

New Exclusive Content for JMS? About damn time! Happy to see that they were working on something after all.

I hope it's not an exclusive class...especially if it's a reskin of that shitty class TMS/CMS got.

That would be real funny
