Line 7:
One of the most unusual aspects is the "Rebirth" mechanism, which enables the player to reset a character's age, stats and level while retaining skill development (and the stat boosts gained thereby). Because of this, [[Level Grinding]] is unimportant; and reaches a point of diminishing returns fairly quickly. Due to the ability point system, rebirth is an essential gameplay mechanic.
 
Unlike most [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s, the combat system is fairly complex, requiring strategy and the ability to think quickly. Monsters use a wide range of AI styles and skills; requiring the player to react fairly quickly to changing combat situations, and develop good use of skills and counter-techniques. Autocombat is available, but minimally useful; and macros are generally ineffective (there is no in-game mechanism for creating them).
 
Mabinogi Fantasy Life does have an overarching story, which is released bit by bit in large updates called "generations", which themselves consist of smaller updates called "seasons".
Line 300:
* [[Villains Never Lie]]: {{spoiler|Cichol spends the entire course of G1 trying to trick everyone that Morrighan had turned against Humanity. In G3, he tries to do it again. Whether to believe him or not is up to the player.}}
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: Due to the wide selection of clothing items and the ability to use dyes for customization.
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: Although an overarching story exists, ''Mabinogi'' is far less story-driven than most [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s, and the majority of the game's content is available outside of the main storyline.
** Iria is literally an entire continent for the player to explore and find stuff in, walking from Vales (the Giant's starting town) to Filia (the Elves' starting town) then to Port Qilia (Human settlement) can take nearly two hours, if not more.
* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|Kristell}} used to be a minor example, as she attempted to invoke [[Defeat Means Friendship|defeat means love]] on {{spoiler|Tarlach}} at least ''five'' times before she realized it wasn't working. More recently she's grown out of most of the negative aspects of [[Yandere]], but she's still somewhat obsessive over {{spoiler|Tarlach}}, though not as much.
