Lost Ark looks exactly like all those asian MMOs to me.
I don't really get what's so special about it.
And yes - a lot of asian MMOs look better than D3, but as far as I know, none of them were ever really that successful
Honestly this...
This game is more of an MMO than an ARPG. Even the commentator stated such in the video that this game plays more like WoW even though it may look like Diablo graphically. As such, I personally have no interest in this game.
People always get hyped by shiny Korean gameplay videos and then it turns out the game is just another MMO with some added mechanics. It was the same with Terra online back when it was being worked on and eventually released - Sure it's a good MMO but still an MMO and not anything close to what it looked like in the beginning, more resembling an ARPG. Also, take a look at Lineage Eternal... The game was announced like 5 years ago and the beta is supposed to start in 2 days? I dono, something like that... Those Korean studios know how to make flashy videos that's for sure but i wouldn't get my hopes up unless you really like MMO's.
I have played Asian MMOs, both JP and KR. One of them for 5 years, 40-50 hours a week.
They are not games, they are second jobs.
Many fellow D3 players complain that bounties are a chore... good luck transitioning to games where you have a list of daily chores that may take 2 or 3 hours of your time before you start doing any actual preparation to go do something else, which may take another hour if you are not organised enough.
Unless much has changed in the last 8 years that is what Asian MMOs were about. Every small advancement was achieved through hundreds of hours of effort sank into the game in the shape of one thousand daily menial tasks and endless, grindy competition for spawns that had an 8hr window and loot with a 1% chance to drop.

Good luck blizzard, they can shut down diablo servers once this releases.
Lost Ark is at least 2 years away from release outside of Korea.
