We have 5 magic spells, 6 if you count pulsar. We have 5 FS moves, 6 if you count the axe kick.
And, again, the magics and fighting styles are mostly just single gimmicks and stat adjustments. You could put on attack size and damage armor as a lightning mage and basically become a fast earth mage. Or you could put a few attack speed armors on as an earth mage and become a lightning mage without paralysis.
Fighting styles are marginally better, as some of their gimmicks are decent, but there’s less selection, and many are just worse basic combat. (Looking at you, boxing)
Can we do without the Kracken’s spell that appears under your ship? I still have scars left over from AR when I was in the First Sea and the Kracken kracked my ship six times in the same hour.
I’m kind of on the fence on this, plus honestly AO is a game that while fun to play would probably be hellish to replay due to how long it is. Suffers from the AAA game problem of wanting you to do everything at once despite claiming otherwise.
