Holy moly folks. After years of silence, the action-MMO Blade & Soul is finally coming to the West this winter (and it'll be free-to-play). Here's an English trailer for the story setup:
I gave up on waiting and tried out the Japanese version a few months ago. Right off the bat, the movement is smoother than any other MMO I've played.

Also the character creator is pretty dope.
Here's a skill video if you want a sense of some of the chaining skills and such:
