Core Technology. If you master this, you'll be able to unlock ancient technology once lost. Things like Astral Cycles (futuristic motorcycles) can be created to allow players to travel great distances in a fraction of the time.
Sean Mackay: Combination attacks provide a continuous, fast-paced attack on your enemies when used properly. It is not blind button-mashing, however, and the combinations must be timed correctly to reach maximum effect. Novice and skilled players alike will get a kick out of the action-based combat structure in cabal alz.

David Hoffman: There are no level requirements for PvP. We have servers dedicated to it, as well as duels by request on the PvE ones. As you level up, your character will ultimately choose a faction to join, and will be able to take part in large-scale guild wars. You won't find any quests for PvP in our game.

Jonric: In the PvE portion of the game, should we expect to face a wide range of different enemies? Are there many non-adversarial NPCs, and how significant are they?

David Hoffman: There is a HUGE amount of computer-controlled opponents and NPCs in cabal alz. The way that they're differentiated from those in other games is through the quest system and actions you either perform or don't. The quests are very immersive, and we tried to shy away from the "go get 10 of these and come back to me so you can go back and get 20 more and repeat" theme. I hated this, and although for training purposes, you will find some such quests early on, they become rare as you level up. I wish I could say this happens in other games, but I have high-level characters and I am still an errand boy for those quest givers. Grrrrrr.

There are more than 300 different NPCs to interact with, battle against and ultimately conquer. Each land in Nevareth has unique AI types made specifically for it, incorporating the game's theme even further throughout the storyline.

David Hoffman: Huge! Do you remember how the story in Final Fantasy affected you? For me, it was huge, and this is the way cabal alz is structured too. The storyline is cohesive and deep. It contains suspense, horror, passion, determination, relief, etc. Again, I'm a fan of having strength in a storyline, and where other games fall terribly short, Cabal dominates.
