-- What about the graphic changes of RO2:LotS?
Jin-soo: First, think about other 3d MMORPGs. Originally RO2 characters were 3~4 heads tall, but with the renewal they will be 7 ~ 8.
-- Wasn't the decision to go with 3~4 head height characters part of the influence of RO?
Jin-soo: When you express a 2D character in 3D, it becomes tricky. Players that like RO's characters, and like the 2D design, found that when you change it into 3D, those characters give off a completely different atmosphere. It looks cute in 2D, but when you set it in 3D with detailed graphics, you lose the part of RO that was left to your imagination. We found that to best preserve the RO flavor would be to go with 7~8 heads. Incidentally, RO2:LotS's illustrations and story will be supervised by Myung-Jin Lee.
