Seal Online!

[Antagonist]

Wow this was supposed to be out back in 2005. I remember there was a fansite for it called Sealthelove.com but never really grew because the game was not released.

It's called FreeToPlay now.

I played the Japanese version. It was so much FUN. Unfortunately, the partying system isn't really as good as Fiesta, in my opinion. It shares a lot of things in common with Fiesta, but there are other classes (jester instead of archer, blacksmith, and knight).

Pets are expensive, but their stats are amazing. A friend on jSO bought me a Valkyrie. Of course, I had to level it up myself, but having one was a treat.

Combos are fun, although I had a hard time getting my keys to really register. Warriors can do 20-hit combos, though.

By the way, this was due two years ago. I thought they had given up on the English version.

Unfortunately, it's one of those "get to level 10 to change jobs" games and the one where there's stat requirements on equipment, but that just makes it more challenging, I guess. There's actually a method of getting to level 10 in 10 minutes, but it requires 1000 cegels.

Anyway, we had a guild in jSO and we called it SealTheLove. Then Demios made a guild so he wouldn't get accused of being a hacker.

As far as cash shop goes, there are very few outfits, but you can get an advantage when crafting or increase your EXP gain for a set number of hours.

Pets have an evolution system. There are four "seeds" - a seed, which can evolve into flowers, beans, and pumpkins; a piya egg, which evolves into a number of piyas (piya monsters/pets are based off character classes); a bird egg, which evolves into things like an eagle, a phoenix, etc.; and a valkyrie egg, which can evolve into a normal valkyrie or a rare valkyrie with extra boosted stats.

The monsters are bizarre, but they're cute.
