The Sword Art Online X Mabinogi collaboration campaign we told you about a couple of months back came and went, and had overall been very well received.
So well received, in fact, that Nexon Japan has decided to do another tie-up with the immensely popular TV anime series, this time in the MMORPG Mabinogi Heroes (マビノギ英雄伝, also known as Vindictus in the US), which shares the same universe as Mabinogi, but is otherwise a completely different game. For starters, Mabinogi Heroes does not utilise super-deformed character avatars.
Although this cross-promotion collaboration is only available in Japan, the good folks over at Dengeki Online have taken it upon themselves to document most of the cool perks players can receive in Mabinogi for participating in the campaign.
And through their excellent work, those of us outside of Japan who are unable to participation ourselves, can at least catch a glimpse of what the Sword Art Online characters look like, when embedded into the world of Mabinogi.
Asuna character avatar parts (costume)
You receive Asuna and Kirito character avatar parts by participating in a daily log-in campaign.
Klein and Lisbeth character avatar parts (costumes)
Character avatar parts (costumes) for Klein and Lisbeth are amongst a list of rewards that you can earn through a limited-time quest where you’re asked to collect a large quantity of “Giant White Bear’s poop” for Lisbeth. Apparently she needs it to forge some sort of new weapon.
The first picture below is that of the Klein costume, while the second one is of Lisbeth.
Yui character avatar part (accessory)
The tiny version of Yui who acts as Kirito’s fairy navigator in the Fairy Dance arc of the anime series can also be yours to equip if everyone in your server co-operates. The quest to unlock Yui involves having everyone in the server you’re playing on cull a series of eight raid bosses a certain number of times.
Sword Art Online quest characters
Outside of the avatar parts, the Sword Art Online characters also appear — in 2D illustrated form — in certain areas to issue you quests. In fact, the quest to unlock Yui is initiated by none other than Kirito himself.
We already mentioned Lisbeth’s quest, so the only one left that we hadn’t talked about is Asuna’s quest, which has you bringing her several ingredients gathered from the wild in exchange for food items, such as a special sandwich.
For those of you who’d like the full details of the Sword Art Online X Mabinogi campaign, you can head over to Dengeki Online’s story for more info (in Japanese).
The Sword Art Online X Mabinogi cross-promotion campaign will take place to November 21.
