    Race and Gender

    A detailed alpha report has popped up on the PSO2 homepage. Many more graphs are provided than the ones featured in the earlier Tokyo Game Show presentations.

    You can find additional information on this topic inside Spellbinder's thread on the forums.

      Yeah, it probably has more to do with custom boob jobs.

      The sad truth.

      I don't find it a "sad" truth at all. It's not my, nor anyone else's business what people do on any game (unless it's piracy, hacking, cheating, etc.). More power to them for wanting a 12-year-old with E-cup breasts.

      When it comes down to it, 9 times out of 10 I'd just rather stare at T+A than make a proverbial "badass" character.

      We temporally lost our supremacy due to no photon blasts / ultimate moves currently.

      The breasts size are fine, as long as I can see where I am going and not get killed. Also, considering there will be far more female avatars than males in this game, hopefully, the cast will balance it out later on with much better character designs. Whoever drew the casts, it would be nice if it was more humanoid (ie. Rahxephon/ Gundam/ Zone of the Enders, whoo) etc. Imo, the casts looked a little too stiff.

      No surprises here. Outside that miscalculation that Humans would end up being the highest populated instead of Newmen females. Still, a heck of a lot different than PSU, even without the beast numbers.
      The low male count will mean that if I go FOmar, I could be the few the proud. The still beautiful males of the game. However, I have this distinct feeling that the Western distribution of numbers may skew quite differently.

      It doesn't need to be someone's business personally to find something sad.
      Anyway on the charts, not many surprises. Gender chart, no surprise and hey Sega knows their audience. On Race, I can see Cast % Shooting up if they end up having the better stats and/or 'Special.' (True for Humans and Newmans as well I guess, but I see that more likely happening for Casts...)
      The one chart with a Pet choice was interesting, wonder if they mean Mags or something else like a PM? Though didn't seem to be a popular choice either way.

      What got my attention other than the not so surprising G.I.R.L statistic, was this graphic: . If what little Japanese I know is correct the graph on the left shows that 50% of all players are using just the gamepad. If so, how are they communicating? Are they using a mic, if the capability exists, or does it have an on screen kb like PSO did?

      lol you could be even fewer and prouder with a FoNewm at this time with how the statistic are currently...

      I would of been a Cast a long time ago, but the customization for them just isn't as good in my opinion. This seems like its going to change though.
