I know I said I was taking a vacation, but I felt inspired today! I did a list earlier about games I thought would make good MMO's. This time around, is my wish list for games I'm waiting to come out. This is my top 5:

5: Dragonica

What is it: Dragonica is a chibi-style, 3-D side-scroller MMORPG that recently just got done with it's closed Alpha II. It has the look and feel of a Chibi-Style RPG game, much like Wind Waker,with real time fighting, combos, constant action, and enough other features to keep you constantly involved in game play. The story line isn't half-bad either, featuring unique ideas that are based on classic RPG games without being too much of a cookie-cutter. The graphics are very clean, the game play is smooth, and even though it is a bit of a grinder like all MMO's, it's not really that boring and offers a lot more then the usual click/kill/repeat method.

Why it's on my list: I'm a big fan of RPG games, and although I didn't quite appreciate games with the chibi-style for a long time, I see how nice it is now. I admit, when Wind Waker first came out I was upset that it wasn't more realistic, but as I dust off my Game Cube now and play it again, I see how truly great the game was/is. Dragonica is a game I believe will be great as long as they continue to offer it as a F2P and not cut out most of the content to the Cash Shop Only. The customization is really nice, despite it only offering 4 starter classes. A game doesn't have to offer a whole lot of content to keep it interesting as long as what it offers is high-quality.

4: Ragnarok II

What is it: Ragnarok II is the sequel to the highly successful Ragnarok Online. While the original version was a simple-design, yet in depth, game, the sequel ups the price tag on it's development. The models are very detailed in somewhere between chibi and anime styles. I would definitely put the styling in the Manwha (Korean Manga) category. The expressions are no longer cartoon bubbles that appear over the head, but detailed facial expressions and emotions. Although it's a sequel, it's hard to even tie the two games together because it's that much of an improvement.

Why it's on my list: RO II is really an amazing project. It would be ranked higher if not for the fact that it's still pretty much a grinder (very reminiscent of the original game). The colors are bright, but warm, opposed to other MMO's games that practice the art of spells and actions that look like strobe lights in a night club. As I mentioned earlier, if you weren't being told that it's a sequel to RO, you couldn't really tell.
