[JapanMS] Official Kanna PV

WHY IS JMS SO MUCH COOLER THAN EVERY OTHER VERSION

[Link]

Nexon JP uploaded a commercial about Kanna.



There's a very, very tiny snippet of gameplay at the very end.

[Endgame]

So, I don't get it. Why are they spending so much money on developing content for just one region of the game?

[Jamesie]

Much more interesting than Hayato in my opinion.

@Endgame; Not like JMS has traditionally had the most unique and thought-out content of all the regions or anything. You make it sound like a shock that JMS is getting interesting "exclusive" content.

because the japanese love them some maplestory. if im not wrong they make the most money in japan, korea and china.

Nexon HQ is in Japan, right? Tokyo?

[Oaysis]

So much want. Kanna>Angelic Buster

[Endgame]

Nexon's HQ is in Japan because they pay less taxes in Japan than in South Korea, but they're still a korean company.

The PV disappoints.

But I'm sure the class will be better.

Also, that...pause at the end. Was it really necessary? I mean, if he was in the midst of battle, or preparing to launch a lazor, sure. But just pausing for the sake of pausing, without even blistering fury, it just comes off as cheesy. The Hayato trailer was better.

Actually I think the reason why they make such awesome content in Japan comes from the fact they are a potency in the gaming world. There are many resources (studios and developers) and the quality standards are higher than, say, North America or Europe, not to mention in animation. They are on top in that one.

Anyway awesome trailer. She seems slow so I wouldn't be surprised if she could break the DMG cap bounds as Angelic Burster.

Except the team creating the content is Korean. Apparently, Japan just gets what is arguably the best dev team. And playing favorites is terrible.

If only there was just one version of Maple, with each region having its own dedicated servers. Like GMS used to have an east coast server in addition to the west coast servers, before they pulled a bait and switch by moving it back to the west coast in secret. One version, multiple servers, no favoritism. Like GLOBAL MapleStory should've been from the start.

We need to get confirmation on that JMS' content is developed by a KMS team. It seem pretty fishy that while other versions struggle to get even exclusive events, JMS is getting their own branch of classes with these Children of the 5 stars.

The argument that it is because JMS is 3rd in making money for Nexon from all versions is invalid, otherwise then CMS should have a whole lot of more of exclusive content on its own, not DragonWarrior. Whatever KMS does for JMS, there are JMS' hands involved in it.

In short, it's not done by a KMS Team. It's done by a team dedicated to the Japanese version of MapleStory inside Korea.
