While some appreciate the streamlined questing system and cute aesthetics, others criticize the story as bland, juvenile, and overly linear, often feeling like a mere backdrop to the gameplay rather than a compelling experience. Overall, the narrative is seen as a missed opportunity, with many players expressing hope for a more robust story in future iterations.
“The story was enjoyable to read and I really enjoyed playing as a priest.”
“The storyline for the main quest, and most of the world quests can read as very juvenile, but it's totally supposed to be.”
“I'm really enjoying the story and exploring everywhere I go.”
“A major problem with Maplestory 2 is that this game does not feel like Maplestory at all.”
“The game is fun, but the story seems very lackluster, especially when there are a ton of cutscenes and no voice acting in them at all; they do a bunch of work to make the cutscenes and then just add subtitles.”
“Silly storylines with no meaning and terrible writing slapped together because 'screw you, we don't have to make a good story cause we're Maplestory!' It's a lot of backtracking to the same places over and over, with overly tone-deaf lines during supposedly serious moments.”
