Maples most random classes

Hey,

I seriously don't get the relevance of several MapleStory classes. These are:
-Beast Tamer (wow, some girl can suddenly control animals! What.)
-Kanna (some princess with a fan from some unrelated Japanese thing?)
-Angelic Buster (Some girl gets mystical powers from something and fights monsters?)
-Jett (Okay what's even going on there? Someone please explain)
-What even is the Demon Avenger and how is it different than the Demon Slayer?
-Hayato (again, something about Japan here, which is irrelevant for the rest of the game?)
-Kaiser (some hero from long ago and, oddly enough, another planet? Wow, so original and unlike any of the 5 (now 6) hero classes)

They just seem so random and weird.

Thoughts? What do you think about my list, and can you make your own?

[quote=Owlert]There are way too many stories going on at once in this game, and the result is what we have now. Nexon is going full on ADD mode packing as much as possible before they finish anything which leads to dozens of classes that contribute to an ever growing power and spectacle creep. The disconnection between all the classes, other classes, and the game world is because MapleStory was not made with the intention of a progressive storyline. It used to be all about making your own story, but now they're trying to cram as much "lore" as possible into a game that doesn't support it.

Here's to hoping MS2 won't go overboard with the lore, and that they'll set the game up with a foundation that can be expanded without going "LOL GAIS FORGOT ABOUT THIS CLASS. AND HERE'S ANOTHER CLASS PEOPLE FORGOT ABOUT. OH LOOK, THE LONG LOST CLASS OF THIS NEW GUY. BUT WAIT, THERE'S THESE NEW PEOPLE WITH THIS ONE HERO. AND NOW ANOTHER SUPER AWESOME GUY PEOPLE FORGOT ABOUT. OH YEAH, HERE'S A FEW MORE. BLACK MAGE IS BAD K THX BAI REMEMBER TO BUY NX."[/quote]

Wow, I have ADHD and I was so offended by the use of "ADD".

Just kidding, I really do have ADHD but I lol'd when I read that. And I agree completely.

To the person who said Mihiles are random: At least Mihile is a Cygnus Knight. But I don't know why they'd make Mihile AND Dawn Warriors, and not make a job branch for any of the other chief knights. It is weird, though.

[quote=MeerCats]I personally don't see how Zeros fit into much of anything.[/quote]

thats cuz u dont follow the story as a whole.
but i'll explain it simple, zero is a trascendent (there are 3 of them: time, life and light) the goddess of time rhinne was the trascendent of time, then zero inherits the trascendent "position". more details occur in zero's story.

Every game has its moments. I mean..you can't just stick to the originals ALL the time. Plus, keeping a game fresh with new content is what keeps a game alive lol. Even if it's different from the entire game itself. That's what makes a game more interesting and new

Nexon just makes the story up as they go along. Too many plot holes and cover ups.

But seriously, by the looks of your reasoning, you clearly didn't read all the story which is probably why you don't get it and it seems random for you.

demon has 2 options when he escapes from chicken egg:
1. build up demon fury and become 1337 super demon again (demon slayer)
2. screw demon fury and become a boring tank class (demon avenger)

They're all different "classic" stories of how someone becomes a hero. I don't know why MS has so many different classes though.
