Sprite

Grand Fantasia, for one reason, is very unique because of its Sprite System. Sprites are basically a pet, that follows you around, helps with combat buffs, and more importantly, they can craft your weapons and armors !!

Sprite System is a huge part of Grand Fantasia, so instead of making 5+ posts on just this topic, I decided to link to a very good guide about it. This guide has the various functions of a Sprite, detailing almost every aspect of it with pictures.

Click here to get a very detailed guide about Sprites.

Character Creation

In this post, I will be covering the details of the character selection screen.

1) Name : Basically the name, your character will be famous or hated for, so choose wisely !!
2) Gender: Pretty obvious,  the gender of your character.
3) Eyes : The types of eyes you want, like raised eyebrows, calm looking eyes, or even closed eyes.
4) Iris : The color of your eyes. *Warning* You can't pick an iris color if you chose closed eyes.
5) Hair : The style you want your hair to be.
6) Color : The color for your hair.
7) Skin : Skin colors.

*Tip* Refer to my post about Sprites before choosing your main sprite. 
8) Sprite : The name for your main sprite.
9) Class : The class for your main sprite. Different classes have different skills.
10) Style : The style of look for your sprite.
11) Eyes : The type of eyes you want for your sprite.
12) Skin : The color you want your sprite to be.

On the right side, are the subclasses for you main classes. Each one shows an armor worn by that class along with a weapon that the class can use.

History of Grand Fantasia

So every RPG game has a history, story, or something behind it.

For Grand Fantasia, the history goes like this.

In the world of "Saphael", mythical creatures(sprites) of the nature lived together with the humans.
Then the humans do the whole "Its not you, its me" thing and break up with nature.

Then comes along certain humans who could communicate with sprites, called Sprite Messengers.
All's well until, the Messengers go rogue and have like "I am better than you" complex.

As you know, that always ends in a fight, and in this case  " THE GREAT SAPHAEL WAR !!!".
The fight lasts generations, so basically just a really looooong war.

Then comes the great-great-great grand children of these Messengers, who wants to be the good guys and restore peace :D

Now whether they achieve that goal or not is up to the players going through the storyline of the game.

Grand Fantasia

Well to describe Grand Fantasia in a sentence....

"It is the best anime-style MMORPG with a great community of players as well as GMs that kicks every other MMO butt"

Yeah, I know, I'm biased. But in the following posts, I will be proving to you why the above statement is true.  Keep coming back to view more information, as I plan to give you tons of it !!!
