First Thoughts: ROSE Online

So I finished off my free 7 day trial of ROSE Online, leveled up a bit playing, did what I could and now I’ve been having trouble deciding what to say. Normally it isn’t really that difficult to say a game is good or isn’t, but I’ve been having trouble here because, well, the game is good, but it also isn’t. Yes, that’s a contradiction and I apologize, but I’ll try to explain it a bit.

First of all, it’s very similar in presentation to Fly for Fun from Gala-Net. That being said, it may, graphically speaking, be even a little smoother looking, but the general style is the same. Now, given, the translation (or the fact that it isn’t I suppose) makes the English text for quests/NPC’s etc. much more natural, where as Fly for Fun has some…odd sentence structure.

I’m really not overly fond of comparing the two games so closely, but when it comes down to it, they are very similar so I really can’t think of a better way to explain things. Now, for the thing that I really hate to say..I can’t recommend paying for this game. Given that it has a monthly subscription fee, and Fly for Fun doesn’t, I think Fly for Fun is the better deal. It’s (at least) as good a game as ROSE Online (possibly better) and it’s free to play so when it comes down to it, the investment you make into FlyFF only needs to be time, and ROSE Online requires time and money.
