There's an adage commonly spoken: Good artists borrow, great artists steal. And despite certain companies being major jerks about patents, I think the same applies to videogames, too. There's nothing wrong with having a clear inspiration in mind.

As is the case with Ananta, which released a meaty seven-minute gameplay trailer recently. It's the first major effort by Chinese dev Naked Rain and published by NetEase—a self-described "free-spirited open-world RPG" that seems like it'll be one of them free-to-play gachas trying to corner another bit of the market.
