Ragnarok Online vs Zenonia 5
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
Zenonia 5
Zenonia 5 is an anime action RPG and the most recent sequel to the main Zenonia series. Although the game offers a lot more of the same things (controls and gameplay), it does provide players with a fresh new selection of classes and characters, namely Abel the Berserker, Neal the Wizard, Ryan the Paladin and Evan the Gunslinger, along with a brand new storyline. Due to the use of specific named characters, you'll have limited options when it comes to character customization.It seems like Gamevil leanred their lesson from Zenonia 4, allowing Zenonia 5 to be a much better version. They have even polished up all the typos and mispellings that litter the previous game. So, if you really want to try Zenonia, then Zenonia 5 is perhaps a great game to start the series with.
