A: I want to say thank you to the users who have loved Mabinogi Mobile and stayed with it for a long time. The end of the Mabinogi Mobile service was by no means something that could be taken lightly. We importantly referenced the experience and user opinions gained while continuing the service so far, and that experience became an important foundation for preparing Mabinogi Mobile. Rather than simply being a sequel to Mabinogi Mobile, Mabinogi Mobile was focused on developing the fun of the Mabinogi IP a step further into a form suitable for current MMORPG users.

By introducing the 3 core combat styles of 'switching, combo, and enhanced attack' that maximize class-specific individuality, we broke away from uniform hunting and enhanced the fun of control. Through the server-wide shared 'costume' and 'OOPARTS' systems, we lower the fatigue of raising sub-characters, and combine user-driven pet growth and strategic party content to provide a high-completion play environment where you can immerse yourself for a long time, which is the biggest differentiation point. Ultimately, the direction Mabinogi Mobile aims for is 'a familiar Mabinogi, but definitely a new MMORPG when you play it'.

A: What was considered most important in Mabinogi Online and Mabinogi Mobile was indeed the identity of 'Mabinogi'. Cute and cheerful characters, unique gag codes, a bright and friendly worldview, and Mabinogi's unique sentiment naturally felt while playing were tried to be maintained as much as possible in Mabinogi Mobile. Elements where users who experienced the original can feel 'Ah, this is Mabinogi' when encountering the game were actively inherited.

It is difficult to provide current users with a sufficient experience simply by bringing past elements as they are. Therefore, graphic completion, interface, movement, combat structure, growth system, and overall aspects were re-designed to fit modern standards.

One of the parts I felt was important while servicing Mabinogi Mobile was content depth and long-term play motivation. In Mabinogi Mobile, various growth systems are organically connected, allowing players to feel a long-term sense of achievement through not only characters but also various elements such as pets, costumes, and OOPARTS.

A: The setting of 'New Shiltz' was prepared to continuously show 'unfamiliar familiarity' while respecting the existing worldview. There are elements connected with regions, characters, and monsters that you have familiarly seen in the existing Mabinogi. You will be able to feel somewhat different relationship changes while being similar. What the production team considered important was not explaining everything to existing fans, but giving the feeling of 'It's a place I knew, but something is different' while playing. In other words, we wanted to use familiarity as a starting point and provide the fun of discovering differences within that familiarity.

A: We configured it so that you can naturally experience the worldview of New Shiltz through the main story. Rather than explaining information about the worldview in the story, we focused on the method where players directly move through regions and perform quests to discover what changes have occurred between the past and the present. At first, familiar elements are seen, but as the story progresses, questions such as 'Why did it change like this?' and 'What is the relationship between Shiltz in the past and now?' arise, and this curiosity naturally becomes the driving force to explore the next regions and stories.

A: It is difficult to leave out these interesting elements when talking about Mabinogi. Elements that can show Mabinogi's unique cheerfulness and casual sentiment were intended to be brought to life as much as possible in Mabinogi Mobile. However, rather than unconditionally implementing existing elements in the same form, we worried based on the criteria of how showing them according to the current game system and play flow is the most fun. It is important to include parts where those who have enjoyed Mabinogi for a long time can feel gladness and elements where new users can naturally experience fun together.

A: The five classes of Knight, Jester, Archer, Mage, and Cleric were selected first because they represent Mabinogi while creating different combat experiences. We did not base it solely on popularity in the original, and we considered it important that the combat method itself feels different for each class. We made it the core whether each job can show a different play style.

For example, a certain class focuses on the fun of continuing combos, and another class focuses on situational response through switching. There are also classes that utilize enhanced attacks at the appropriate moment. The goal is to give the feeling that the play sensation itself changes, rather than feeling like 'the same job with just a changed weapon'.

A: This is one of the parts I want to emphasize most when explaining combat in Mabinogi Mobile. We wanted to break away from the structure where all classes use skills in the same way. We configured the individuality of classes focusing mainly on three combat styles: switching, combo, and enhanced attack.

The Knight pursued the fun of continuing combat based on combat stability and situational responsiveness, and the Jester pursued a more brisk combat sensation through fast movement and linked attacks. The Archer was made to feel the pleasure of area combat through the fun of creating attack timing while maintaining distance, and the Mage through powerful skills and attack links. The Cleric was configured not to stay in the healer role, but to appropriately utilize support and attack according to the party situation.

The important thing is that a specific class does not use just one style. We focused on implementing the fun of combining skills according to the situation centered on the core mechanism each class has and finding the optimal timing. It is designed so that even the same class can have a different play sensation depending on user control and growth methods.

A: We are leaving various possibilities open. Since what is considered important in Mabinogi Mobile is the differentiation of combat experience by class, the new class must also show different control and combat fun from the existing ones. Specific details will be introduced separately at an appropriate time.

A: Costumes and OOPARTS play an important role in the growth structure of Mabinogi Mobile. Rather than the method of simply 'acquiring a high grade increases combat power', we considered it important that various growth elements are connected to create long-term goals.

In addition, server-wide sharing was applied to reduce the burden of raising sub-characters. If a significant portion of previously invested growth must be repeated when wanting to play another class, it becomes difficult to experience various jobs. In the acquisition and enhancement process, a structure where growth is possible through play is the basis.

Some products or BM-related parts are designed in a direction that does not harm the player's growth experience. Specific sales methods and product composition will be guided in detail along with the service time BM policy.

A: Garders, equipment, and pets are elements that create long-term growth of characters while playing different roles. In particular, pets are quite important in Mabinogi Mobile. Rather than ending with acquiring a high-grade pet, we combined evolution and option transfer systems so that they can be created in the desired direction.

What the production team guarded against most was a structure where all users eventually use the same pet and the same options. Therefore, we carefully adjusted the probability and reward structure so that randomness is utilized, but the result leads to the expectation of 'What kind of result will come out this time' rather than stress. Equipment enhancement was also designed so that players can feel a sense of achievement in the long-term growth process, not just a numerical increase.

The basic direction for BM is also to prevent core growth content from being resolved simply through payment. Detailed product composition will be specifically disclosed at the time of launch.

A: Contents such as collections, achievements, titles, and reputation are basically systems to give the fun of experiencing various activities while playing the game and recording the results. Creating a structure where these elements must be filled only by making payments does not match the direction we aim for. We configured it so that players can naturally collect and achieve by playing various contents, and through this, feel a sense of achievement of building up their own play history in addition to simple combat power.

A: Party dungeons wanted to create a structure where each person's role and cooperation affect actual raid strategy rather than simply gathering many people and catching bosses with strong attack power. The number 4 is the result of considering a point where the role of each class is sufficiently revealed without putting a big burden on party composition.

Traps and gimmicks are placed in dungeons in addition to combat. Someone attacks while another user manages survival, and in specific situations, everyone responds to gimmicks, making each other's movements important. What the production team wants is not 'a dungeon that is easily cleared if there are many people', but a dungeon where 4 people cooperate and raid while watching each other's play.

A: Since the exchange is an important system that creates economic activity and item circulation between users, it is important to design the game economy so that it is not excessively distorted. It is not a form where all items can be freely traded, and tradeability is distinguished according to binding status or item characteristics. Specific policies such as goods and fees required to use the exchange are planned to be announced along with the entire in-game economic system.

A: Since workrooms and abnormal trading acts can damage not only the game economy but also the experience of users playing normally, we are viewing it quite importantly. We are preparing a system capable of continuously monitoring and responding to abnormal account creation, repetitive play patterns, and abnormal acquisition and movement of goods.

We plan to continuously analyze patterns appearing in actual service after launch and continuously supplement detection standards and response policies. We think the workroom problem is not something completely solved by introducing a system once. Therefore, we view steady management during the service process as an important operational task.

A: The biggest competitiveness is bringing together 'Mabinogi-esque fun' and 'the depth of a modern MMORPG'. In the recent MMORPG market, high-level graphics and vast content are emerging as important elements, but I think the fatigue or entry barriers felt when first encountering the game can also increase accordingly. Mabinogi Mobile tried to provide sufficient depth in combat and growth while maintaining the casual and cheerful sentiment of Mabinogi.

The combat method for each class is clearly different, and with pet inheritance and growth, various party dungeons, and field bosses, I think the differentiation is creating 'a structure that can be started lightly, but the longer you play, the more you discover'. Above all, Mabinogi is an IP loved for a long time. The goal is to provide existing fans with the experience of meeting memories again, and users encountering it for the first time with the experience of discovering a new casual MMORPG.

A: We view optimization as an important development task to play comfortably on both mobile and PC. Since MMORPGs frequently experience situations where many users gather in one space at the same time, optimizing only the graphic performance of the client is not enough. Server load, network environment, and stability in situations where a large number of users gather in one region are considered together. Recommended specs will be specifically guided by play environment at the time of launch.

A: Payment-related parts including the web store are not at the stage where specific forms or schedules are confirmed, so it is difficult to speak definitively at this point. However, we are reviewing various possibilities open so that users playing on various platforms are not inconvenienced. What is important is that users receive the same game experience on any platform, rather than the payment method itself.

A: What I want to say first is stable live service. While achieving good business results is important, enjoying the game stably is the top priority. After a stable service, we will actively listen to user opinions, quickly improve necessary parts, and steadily add content.

A: After launch, we will first focus on stably presenting the content currently prepared. Afterwards, we are considering the direction of continuously adding content with combat styles different from those previously presented along with new classes. We plan to continuously expand content where users cooperate or compete with others, such as party dungeons, field bosses, and the Battle of Challenge, and develop growth content like pets to provide new growth goals. Global expansion is also one of the important directions. Since regional service environments and user tendencies must be sufficiently considered, we will reveal it through official channels later.

A: Thank you to everyone who has waited for Mabinogi Mobile. The Mabinogi IP has meaning beyond just a game to the production team. Making a new game with characters and a worldview loved for a long time itself was a task that required a great deal of responsibility. Accordingly, we worried a lot between keeping the original sentiment and developing it into a game that current users can enjoyably play.

I think the world of Mabinogi Mobile is finally completed when players directly enter and experience it. I hope that the gladness of meeting familiar characters again and those encountering Mabinogi for the first time will fully experience Mabinogi Mobile's unique cheerful and joyful world.
