Speaking of looking good, Blade and Soul NEO Classic Divine Gems retains its predecessor's rich slider-based character customization system. Every bodily feature can be adjusted with immense freedom, with examples ranging from hideous to hilarious to beautiful. While some games limit the values of such sliders to keep players somewhat visually consistent, characters in Blade and Soul NEO can be modified to the extreme. Even the animal-like Lyn race has tremendous variety: an assortment of tails and ears were recolored and resized for unique results. There's a granularity to the customization system that could keep virtual fashionistas occupied for hours.

As always, fashion is a crucial component of MMORPGs, and Blade and Soul NEO showed off a wide variety of diverse outfits spanning modern and fantasy aesthetics. Martial arts outfits, cute dresses ornamented with bows and ribbons, formal attire, and one standout armor set where the player's joints are replaced with fireballs should give every player cosmetic options to their taste. For players interested in apparel that suits their class fantasy, we saw plenty of options that should help express their character's fighting style.

Blade and Soul NEO is bringing some systemic changes to the table in addition to its visual overhauls. The most immediately noticeable change is infinite windwalking: no longer held back by a stamina bar, players can windwalk endlessly. We witnessed players windwalking through the air for incredible distances from vantage points, while at other times they'd smoothly tread across large bodies of water. With the game's freeform wall-climbing, Blade and Soul NEO boasts mobility not often seen in MMORPGs.

There are also new elements related to the game's gear systems. The Weapon Core system enables players to slot Soulstones into their weapons to improve their stats and provide unique Soul Power abilities in combat. One example was the Infernal Lord Soulstone, which lets players unleash the same fire breath attack as the boss. Additionally, the Mantra system brings a new layer to itemization. Gear can be slotted with a combination of three color-coded Mantras. Depending on the combination, a random effect from that combination's pool can be rolled. Players looking to emphasize certain stats or BnS NEO Classic Divine Gems for sale playstyles can target those with specific combinations, and the UI handily lists each possible outcome.
