7 years ago I did a video on Aion 2. 7 whole years ago.

Back in 2017, NCSoft had an idea for the game. They claimed it was being built utilizing Unreal Engine 4 - at the time, not a bad engine to be developing an MMO in. They promised a large emphasis on PvPvE, much like its predecessor Aion had, allowing players to participate in what they referred to as "Dimensional cracks," a type of cross-server wars.

However, the faction based warfare between the Elyos and Asmodian's was no longer going to be present. Factions were removed in their entirety - with players being free to choose their race without repercussions. This meant you'd see both Asmodian and Elyos players partied - which admittedly, to me, sounds a little bit confusing.

Also unique to the 2017 vision for Aion 2 was the complete removal of classes. No more Gladiator. No more Ranger. No more Spellcaster. Their belief was that "class segmentation" was too limiting, and they wanted to offer players more freedom to play what and how they wanted.

With this in mind, players would be given the option of wielding any weapon, with the ability to change weapon styles, and thus utility, on the fly. Aion 2, to accommodate this new class-less system, would have an entirely new battle system that was not present in the original iteration of Aion.

Aion 2 was also confirmed to be releasing exclusively on Mobile. But don't close the video quite yet - in 2023, 6 years later, it was revealed that this was no longer the case and they made substantial alterations to the game to cater to the PC player audience. But does that mean the game will be better, or worse?

And what else changed over that 7 year period? That's what we're here to discuss.
