In a sea getting ever more stacked with “realistic” brown and grey worlds, Scarlet Blade is at least looking vibrant, creative and colorful… as long as you can move your character’s breasts out of the way to see them properly. The observation I made about the animations wasn’t entirely a joke and the animation in combat actually looks pretty smooth. The “Elk” you fight sure don’t look like elk, but they have a really interesting design that seems rife with imagination. Of course, like TERA a lot of them look like “cool for the sake of cool” as despite how awesome the weird flying jellyfish in the sky look, there doesn’t seem to be any explained reason why they are there. There’s a lot of interesting detail going on in the environment, and taking a look at the surroundings, not just your character’s “assets” showcases some pretty cool looking designs. And yet, ignoring the “sexy dance” your Arkana does to mount their oddly phallic motor-unicycle, this game is actually quite pretty. The sexual innuendo and not so innuendo THAT. It’s a pretty standard game that would probably hold up well enough without its obvious hook. It’s not terrible, gameplay mechanics-wise. Why? Because despite all the obvious overtly shameless sexual content the game is… competent. Trust me… ask ANY MMO player who plays that game, old enough to know how sex and sexuality works and this is the answer you’re going to get.

Still it seems that’s not entirely good enough, so in its stead, I’ll go into a bit more depth about the game and how I feel about, this time without the backhanded compliments and snarky subtext. You watched the video? You saw an ad or a trailer somewhere? Yes. While I’m perfectly capable of doing just that, as it fits all the criteria is hell of a lot more of an MMO than a lot of the fare I review on this show, the reason I don’t is simply because… You know exactly what this game is like.

((EDIT: I MADE A VIDEO AFTER I SAID I NEVER WOULD!))Įver since my April Fool’s video I’ve been getting a lot of requests, be in here, on Twitter, or wherever to actually do a full episode FRSRS on this game… and… well.
