Concerto Gate's publisher previews Square/Enix's new MMO
Square Enix just recently released their first trailer for the in-development MMO Concerto Gate. The game is slated as a sequel to the highly successful Crossgate title they've run in Asia for the last seven years. 1up's Jeff Green had the chance to sit with the folks at OnNet USA, the US publisher of this title, to discuss what the general style of gameplay will be like.
In a word, it is unique. Players will find themselves adopting one very specific role within the game world, acting as an adventurer, crafter, or "special class". There will be 15 different classes, but each of them is incredibly niche. If, for example, you've always wanted to explore the world of lumberjacking online - you will now have your chance. It's a free-to-play title to boot, bringing a sometimes-maligned business model into sharp focus. Read through to 1up's article for full details on this decidedly unusual gameworld.
