Another fun feature in LaTale is the pet system. As opposed to MapleStory, you do not have to buy pets in the item mall. Some of them are purchasable, but every player has a right to the use of the pet system in the game, usually acquiring pets from quests. This system is not completely developed in the version Outspark hosts; however they are testing it currently. Pets do not last for any longer than 60 days (some may become unlimited in the future), however you can always revive them with cash shop items. Pets offer skill assistance during battle, and evolve from three stages as they get stronger: egg, baby, and adult.

LaTale Ely hosts many other interesting features, such as the mailing system, used to communicate with friends while they aren’t online, and the waypoint system, used for easier access to the entire world map.

Questing
I wouldn’t say LaTale’s questing system is that elaborate, but it is essential in every character’s development. In order to level up without hours and hours of constant grinding, players can undergo repeatable exp quests. This makes hunting much more interesting, and of course offers nifty rewards. One can get very rich by completing many quests, without too much trouble. Recently, there were pet quests added in order to test out the system, and hopefully we will see more interesting events through new quests!

Graphics and Sound
LaTale Ely is filled with vivid colors and inciting music. The sounds are average, but the graphics are where this anime MMO shines. Skill animations and character emotions are really well done, as well as the sprites and armors, being very unique. There are some recolors in the monsters department, but otherwise they are very detailed and most are fun to watch. The environments are at some times dazzling and at others just mediocre, but overall I liked them very much; this falls under personal preference. Surely, if you like the 2D genre, the chances are you’ll love this style. Some may find it a little too colorful, but I enjoyed it myself.

Personal Recommendation
LaTale was a really fun experience. I believe I love as many things as I dislike about the game. Firstly, the graphics were beautiful and very unique. Everything was smoothly colored and well done, in my point of view. The music and sound was alright for the most part.
