Blade and Soul: Grindy?

Let’s face it, the gaming world has more than a little reason to suspect Blade and Soul, the latest offering from NCSoft, Korea, is going to be a grindy. Two of those little reasons are called Aion and Lineage. They’re both grindy games. In fact, those two games are pretty much the definition of grind.

So while Blade and Soul looks like a beautiful game with some awesome combat, everyone really is asking, Is it grindy?

“I assure you, Blade & Soul will never run out of content to keep players engaged in the game. This game will not be a repetitive grindfest.”
– Blade & Soul Executive Producer James Bae

There you have it. Still skeptical? Yeah, you’re not the only one. You’ll still play the game, though, won’t you? After all, those combat sequences look so awesome and it’s certainly not a kid-friendly game.
