I’ve been wanting to post this for the longest time but I keep forgetting, hehe. Gravity, developer of Ragnarok Online, signed a contract with japanese composer Yoko Kanno. She’s famous for her work with various anime titles like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in a Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Yoko Kanno will be making more than 80 tracks for Ragnarok Online 2: Gate of the World. Talk about going all-out, eh? You can check out the full article at Gamespot’s Ragnarok Online 2 Soundtrack press release. Speaking of Ragnarok Online 2, let me give you guys an update on the latest developments.
Ragnarok Online 2 had their first Closed Beta Test sometime late last year which focused more on the look and feel of the game. After getting the inputs of their play testers, Gravity went back to the drawing board. Come February, they did Closed Beta Test 2, this time having featuring new maps, skills, and weapon advancement system. We’re still waiting word for Closed Beta Test 3 and 4 before we finally hit Open Beta.
You can check my previous posts on Ragnarok Online 2 for the trailers released by Gravity. I’ll post the latest trailer coming from CBT2 though. Hope you guys enjoy!
I’ll try to compile all the trailers and make one big post sometime this week. ‘Till then, Rok On people!

This is great news! Anyway, is there a possibility of the game to hit the Philippine shores this year? Would love to try out my hand on the new races apart from the Norman.

Well, we’re pushing to have it launched Open Beta sometime Q3-Q4. It really depends on how fast Gravity works. Go Gravity, go! Lol.

Hey, Carlo, Guild Wars 2 will reward players for their accomplishments in the first Guild Wars. Will Ragnarok 2 do the same for players’ accomplishments in the first Ragnarok?

I don’t think so Mike, but we can make custom packages that will cater to Ragnarok 1 fans. During my talks with Gravity, they’ve made it clear that RO2 was made not to kill off RO1 and we will launch RO2 as if it were a completely new game.
