The graphics of Fiesta is one of the main reasons people decide not to play this game. It looks as if it were made for a much younger audience than those you would expect to be playing an MMO. The game has an anime theme to it that makes it very vibrant and colorful.
The sound effects in this game are decent and the ambient sounds make the game more realistic, but, the background music in Fiesta is terrible. I have had mine music muted since I began playing.
Fiesta has the option to be WASD control or Point-and-Click. The WASD movement feels clumsy and takes along time to get used to if you are a World of Warcraft user. The interface is fast to learn and easy to reconfigure. Character development is straight forward, simply add points to the stat you wish to increase. Combat is very similar to WoW.
Leveling starts out fast but slows down around 20 and starts getting really slow. To level faster you can purchase exp increases from the cash shop. Cash shop items are all really overpowered so if you have them you will be amazing, but if you don't you wont stand a chance in player vs player battles. The quests in Fiesta are all "Go kill 10 of X and return to me," grind quests which will become repetitive the longer you play. The one thing that makes the leveling a lot of fun is Kingdom Quests, which are similar to a dungeon, you can do them every few hours. There are 4 classes in the game which can advance two times, once at 20 and once in the 50's bracket.
