Following the recent Gravity Festival, some new information, as well as a new video showcasing the new Norman and Ellr sprite designs and other features, has been released.
Firstly, because everyone loves videos, here is the link. You will notice alot of changes if you've seen the previous TGS trailer.
Nextly we have a interview between Gamespot and some Korean guy who is stated as Pak Zero. Most of the interview is unimportant, so to save you the trouble two more major parts have been totally translated and un-enrgishified for your viewing pleasure:
GameSpot: The wait for Ragnarok Online 2 information has been long, but finally news seemed to be close. It was believed that this showing would showcase the new parts of the game and might have given the possibility of seeing new features. Instead, it was a more informational showing. Can you comment?
Pak Zero: Although there was not much information on features, the showing spoke positively about Ragnarok Online 2. We have fixed an open beta test for December and also made it known of the various leaps in development. Currently it is ahead of (Requim maybe? I can't read it) and is preparing for the end of the prime development. All in all, it is about 85% completed to a point where it can be released for Open Beta.
GS: In Ro1, when registering, the selecting of your gender would determine what gender you were for all characters on that account. Will this decision be the same in Ro2? (Simplified: If I choose female, my characters are female)
Pak Zero: Selecting the correct gender is something we want to have in Ro2, because it creates a more realistic community. In Ro1 this worked well, although it was eventually abused by some people and worked around it by faking their gender in the registration. With Ro2, we want to make the reliability of people having the correct gender very high. There has been talk of using your KSSN to determine your gender, even.
There may be more information and images that will be released, but for now this is all we have found. In a shameless plug, you can checkout A Ragnarok Tale for more in-depth discussion on Ro2 as well as a fan analysis of the new trailer.
Cheers!

No worries!Some more information was released earlier today. The Ellr and Dimago, the two races other then the human Norman characters, will not have classes, or jobs. Instead, there will most likely be another system, although that has yet to be made public.
The system requirements have been released as well and are as follows:
Minimum system requirements:
Pentium 4 1.4Ghz
512 MB Ram
GeForce 3Ti, Radeon 8500
Win 98/ME/2000/XP
Adviced system requirements:
Pentium 4 2.4Ghz
1024 MB Ram
GeForce 4Ti
GeForce FX5700
Radeon 9000
128 MB minimal video memory?
Win 98/ME/2000/XP
Some images as well. Here and here are images of several headgears and new hairstyles, and here is a image of the new GUI, as well.
Enjoy!
Now if they put some quests in there and some good gameplay, Gravity could have themselves a power-hitter. It looks very good and if that music is really in the game, then I'm already wanting the soundtrack because I like scottish and irish music because it's part of my family history.
Here's to hoping they get it right and don't mess it up.
