I'm getting tired of Pilla. It doesn't make sense to me...PB energy is released, and I get this weird thingie which shoots a pale imitation of Dark Falz's energy blast attack? As for Estlla, it makes even less sense when a dolphin comes out of nowhere and attacks.

Mags store up photon energy and release them in a blast, right? How much cooler would it be if the PB blast came as an actual blast of energy shooting from your mag and laying waste to everything in front of you? For example, what if Kama were to emit twin beams which do the same damage as Estlla but look much cooler?

What if my Nidra (scorpion thingie) were to jump off my shoulder, use the PB energy to increase in size and act as a guardian Scorpion for a limited time? That is, imagine a large Nidra (about the size of a Gulgue) running around beside you, whacking things with its stinger and claws? Or the Nidra could cast a PB which has a chance to halve the life of every monster in a limited radius and afflict a poison status?

Could Sega do something like that? I suspect that Sega cannot because there would be conflict problems of some sort between the Online and Offline modes...

Yeah I'm ready for some new photon blasts. Arrr.. too bad there aren't patches or upgrades.

I agree PSO needs new PBs. Pilla is nice against enemies that are in the air but doesn't do as much damage if they're on the ground. Mylla & Youlla are only useful for androids or low level characters. Leilla is a total waste; like what force wouldn't learn Resta by that point? Estilla requires careful aiming to be effective. Golla only hits one target. And Farla (although my favorite PB) is notoriously weak compared to the other offensive PBs. A good idea for a new PB would be one that makes you temporarily invincible whenever you summon it instead of just being a special ability. Another cool PB would be one that freezes all the enemies within range for an instant so everyone in the team can gang up on them and have at it.
