They manages to draw that fresh fantasy vibe, although much too briefly before the average animation kicks in again. If there are some redeeming parts, they are the decent soundtracks and design for the world. Frankly, these kinds of problems shouldn't happen on feature length animation of today's technology.
There's a bit inconsistency with details as well, shadows or texture don't sync well into the scenes. Sometimes the audio sounds out of place as the mixing stutters on some parts, dubbing is the usual sloppy mess, especially for supporting chars. Animation isn't its strong suit, the visual looks pedestrian as though it's from last gen video games.
Granted, this sort of plot has been used many times and it can be to great effect, but Dragon Nest merely stacks them without novelty and hope for the best. It's a dreary development with just about everything one would expect not to see again in fantasy genre. Story is very basic, cue in your typical hero-in-training, alliance with other race, some comedy reliefs and potential romantic angle, then you'll have the 101 good versus evil plot.
It's a dull journey and what few sparks it has, mainly from vista or music, can't save it from mediocrity. Dragon Nest animation resorts to utilizing mediocre antics from many other games or movies, then put it in one predictable story and weak animation. These games are known for social interaction or accessible gameplay, not strong narrative. Building a movie from online multiplayer games is not easy.
