AOI - extra mode?

[DoubleJG]

Has there been any word yet of AOI having an extra mode? I mean, the story mode for it offline is cool, but extra mode is what I know many offliners are probably hoping for.

[Hucast-Kireek]

Story mode will use your own character, not Ethan or Laia, I wonder how that will work.

as for Extra mode...maybe its an unlockable like in part one?

i think he knows that but what he wants is extra mode which is totally different from story mode as in it doesnt really follow a set story structure like psu episodes 1 and 2

[Zorafim]

I am going to assume that they are going to fuse Story Mode with Extra Mode. I don't see why not, seeing how our current extra mode is simply story mode without Ethan.

[Chuck_Norris]

I wonder if they'll give our character a voice for offline, That would be sweet.

[Zorafim]

I believe it will work similarly to our current online mode. Our character will do all the work, then Laia's ego will blow us aside allowing her to get all the glory and screen time.

[Niloklives]

as in speaking? not likely, but it would be nice if they would have voices like they do in japan.

Sounds like a smart guess, and if I had to guess that would be mine as well. I just hope that they actually include a decent handfull of rares and such offline this time -_-;

Only having A rank claws and doublesabers should be criminal. Why did sword, fists, sabers, and most especially daggers get S rank variations when spears didn't? And the poor claws, only having one model... Not to mention doublesabers not even having an S rank.

[DaRkWoLf30]

Hmm, I hope there is an extra mode to screw around with.

[Rashiid]

no S rods either offline >.>

double sabers have S rank in offline, Crea Doubles drop in the HIVE.

[Zorafim]

You're... Wait, what? Since when? Give link now!

if there are offline for AoI, it better be 10x longer than the first offline mode of PSU!!! Should take like +200 hours to pass the game...lol. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

PSO offline for gamecube lasted for more than 500+ hours, so I cant see why PSU cant do it for its offline mode.

Sega Team need to follow with my pets now!!! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

First time I'll disagree with you, bunny, and hopefully the last. I feel I got my money's worth for story mode. Each chapter took an hour or two to complete. It took me a good week or two to complete it, and I was very content.

If you're speaking of extra mode, though, I'll agree. The only way I'd feel well about it is if my goal was to get an S rank in every mission. So, I did that (with the exception of mad beasts. 1:50 for an S rank? Though I finally did at lv50+), and got my S ranks and lv100 easily.

disagree all you like, it is not like i am a close-minded person that wont listen to others' opinion. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
Well anyways, the offline mode only matters so much to me since i will be playing the online mode more often than offline, so i guess whatever Sega Team has for us for offline mode of AoI is fine with me. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
I only wish they have multiplayers offline so that i can play with all my brothers and sisters. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Most this forum is, though (including myself).
I myself want a good offline mode, simply to enrich the online mode. It's much more rewarding when you have memories of it, I'm sure you know.
And I second multiplayer

[danny_o]

Will you character have a voice over? I hope so... Those damned text only section bore the crap out of me.

[JAFO22000]

I thought it was already stated that you'd be able to transfer your offline mode characters from PSU to AoI. It can then be inferred that there will be Extra Mode offline content.

[WrathOfMegid]

Good point Jafo.

I would also want to know whether we get any screen time offline. I wouldn't mind having a preset story and character personality if I'm actually playing the main character and not just a grunt who kills everything but gets no recognition.*cough*Laia's a screen hog*cough*

And I mean a story that revolves around our character like it did for Ethan. If that dummy can save the universe, so can my characters.

I can think of far worse things to be than Laia's bitch.

Sorry, but I HAVE to quote Kevin Spacy on this when he said

WROOOOONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Show us proof and offliners like me will be ecstatic.

I believe they meant that your character won't be deleted when you get AoI, like they did when you went from DC to GC. Instead, they'll be saved, like they were from V1 to V2. Who knows if your online character will actually be saved to story mode, since that can make it too easy for those who play online mode and too hard for those who don't.

[sash_phoenix]

It Took Me 29 hours to finish story mode :S this sucks a little...
