Fiesta Online
How can you tell it's anime-inspired? You get three choices of hair color: aqua, blue, and violet. The starting town included blades of grass hovering seven feet above the ground. The "tutorial quest" consists entirely of walking from one end of the town to the other. I spent most of the game with no idea what I was doing and what I was supposed to be doing.
There's a mini-map and a large map. If you click on a place on either, you don't move towards it. Quests only show on the large map. You buy your skills at a shop. This means you can't see the skill tree for your character unless you're at that shop.. There's nothing stopping you from buying skills you can't use because you're the wrong class.
Monsters talk to you. They say things like "What's one plus one? Wrong. It's three". Now, I think talking monsters are great. It let's you give them a bit of character and gives a bit of backstory to the ten palate-swapped guys you just made up. But don't make them painfully stupid. Why was I killing them? Because some guy promised me a pair of boots and there wasn't anything else to do. They probably deserved it, though.
