A collab with those adorably nostalgic little characters~????

The Kingdom of the Winds and MapleStory vibes I grew up with, crossing dimensions

and showing up inside Mabinogi Mobile

was seriously so nice to see!

It really felt like running into an old friend again, you know?

Meeting nostalgia!

That back view looks familiar, doesn’t it? ㅎㅎ

I feel like this was probably one of the very first characters you met when you started MapleStory.

So even from a quick glance, I recognized it right away.

Seeing it against the Mabinogi Mobile background felt a little strange, but also really cool.

MapleStory’s adorably named Pink Bean

A pink squishy little bean!! Even the name Pink Bean is cute~

It’s the kind of cuteness that keeps making you smile even when you look back at the photo later!!

Cuteness really does transcend games.

I loved being able to take pictures with these cute MapleStory characters inside Mabinogi Mobile!

100% collectible-worthy The Kingdom of the Winds deco item gift!

In the collab with The Kingdom of the Winds,

they gave out deco items absolutely overflowing with that classic The Kingdom of the Winds feel, 

like wow!! They were those unforgettable tavern items anyone who played The Kingdom of the Winds would remember right away!

And it wasn’t just some one-off event either—they gave us deco items we could use to decorate our own character or space,

so it seriously felt like the best gift ever~ㅎㅎ

Mabinogi Mobile x MapleStory

Mabinogi Mobile x The Kingdom of the Winds

The reason these collabs with those two games felt so special

is because they brought back the player’s memories too.

My memories of playing The Kingdom of the Winds and MapleStory connected so naturally with my current experience of enjoying Mabinogi Mobile,

so I just kept feeling happy the whole time I was playing.

That’s why it feels like this will stick with me for a long time, not just as some simple event.
