So Donkey was right on in that conversation he had with me the other day... your own character is the main character. Wow, this should be interesting.

Sounds like PSO. Now I get to be bossed around by NPCs and being told not to go some where and actually listen to them.

Well if the title screen of the beta tells us anything, there will be an offline mode.

[Zantra]

Hmmm, so PSU is trying to go the PSO route... this could be interesting.

Well, as far as "playing as your own character" is concerned, anyway. I get the feeling story mode will progress similarly to the original PSU's anyway, though--as in, an linear narrative with cutscenes.

It'd be nice to have a little more involvement (a la Seat of the Heart or Soul of Steel), although I don't particularly mind the inevitable "silent hero" treatment.

I know that, silly!

Anyway, is this going to be a prequel of sorts, to the online mode, considering the fact, that Sega said that online mode takes place a year or so after the offline story mode. Or, does this only apply to the original game?

I'd just like to see how they can pull the cutscenes off, with the character sizes, shapes, and clothing options already being so varied. I know it would be using the in-game engine, but would the camera zoom in on smaller characters, and zoom out on bigger ones, is what i'd like to find out.

Well, at least you can outperform them, and Shiro will be able to impress Maya with his awesome skillz that are far superior to Laia, Ethan, Hyuga, Leo, Tonnio, Lou, Renvolt, Mystery man, and Dulk Fakis combined.

[AlphaDragoon]

*ahem*

BWAHAHAHAHAHA, you're not Laia!!!! Woohoo!!! Yeah!!!

*ahem* ...I'm and pleased and excited about this.

[Akaimizu]

They'll probably do the cutscenes just like they did with the current online story missions.

One thing I do kind of want (which will most likely not happen) is a dialogue choice for your character. The *mute* lead character is one thing, but I do find myself just saying, "No way my character would just let that go unspoken." in the game.

For one, I want the playful but therapeutic tension between Tynselle and Laia as Tynselle asks (yet again) for a piggy back ride to their next destination. (Given the size difference and Tynselle's more playful and smart-alec attitude, it would be a tough one to resist)

More realistically, I would actually love a little choice for rebuttal. Not everything is going to be smooth and obedient with Tynselle, outside of a mission that is. She'll support in-mission, of course, but she makes comments and speaks out.

So does this mean that like Nougami is going to have the chance to be a hero??? *snickers*

And this does sound interesting. I wonder how they're going to do it...?

[Zantra]

Has there been any updated info on the offline mode, since this thread was posted?

[gundam0079]

the website has been up there for like 3 months. -.- >.> <.<

[Ether]

Who wants to bet that the new offline story mode will just be the current online story mode with maybe a few CG scenes added, and rebalanced difficulty

The fact that we're playing as our own characters and not Laia seems to hint towards that IMO

[Dhylec]

I hope that you get your answer. Make a new topic if you want , but don't bump older threads. As you can see, it totally disrupts the flow of things here.
