Is Tera inspired by anime/manga?
I'm not saying in general, I've noticed specific similarities to certain anime/manga series.
Particularly, the dark fantasy world of Tera reminds me of Berserk where there's a ton of cults, corruption and big ugly monsters walking around. Elin actually resemble the art style of Berserk, look at how Miyura (author of Berserk) draws young girls, they look just like Elins, I'll find some pictures.

Not to mention the amount of blood covering the floors of dungeons with Lurid display turned on. Then you got a class with a giant sword, a class names Berserker, and you got the little fairies that pop up to give you tips and stuff. If you know Berserk you know what I'm talking about. Berserk also mixes grim and macabre with silly and mischievous humor, same with Tera. Both feature beautiful fantasy worlds that are plagued with the living dead and other demonic abominations. Berserk skews much farther into adult territory obviously, as Berserk is intended for mature audiences only while Tera tries to keep its audience varied, but you can still see the inspirations.
But berserk isn't the only one, there's some obvious references to Naruto. The first was the shadow clone the warrior uses, but that wasn't as obvious as the Ninja class. The Ninja classes uses a substitution jutsu to switch places with a log, yes a log, something first seen used by ninjas in Naruto. Another thing is transform jutsu, in Naruto ninjas can transform themselves to look like other characters or objects in Tera the ninja can do the same jutsu to look like another player character or NPC, this is something Naruto introduced to the ninja lore. You can even see Tera Elins mimicking hand signs that Naruto characters use to activate their jutsus.
