"Some exciting news from Shougai PSO! PSO2 episode 2 is scheduled for release this summer! This will introduce new races, new classes, new weapon categories and a new enemy (to both the Arks and the Darkers) known as the "Photoners!" Also, Burning Rangers! And Arks Grand Prix in June!"

Although Shougai didn't say anything of the sort, they did however speculate that Darkers, came from D-ARKS, as in Dark ARKS. Along with some screenshots from the back of a few of their clothes and a clear screenshot of the ARKS symbol/logo on Elder.

Needs a speculation thread, but I'm too lazy to do it.

Come on, this can't be true! "Photoners"!? REALLY?! I was cool with "Darkers", but "Photoners" is taking it way too far! There's only so much damn Engrish I can take!

I am also not enjoying the prospect of new classes (WHY oh WHY can't we just add weapons to existing classes?!), and what new races could they possibly add that isn't just a minor reskin of humans? Oh wait - none, they're just going to add Dumans and consider them a "new race"! Bleehhhhh!

Gripes aside, it's good to know that they're actually building more content for the game behind the scenes. I knew they couldn't be slacking off as much as it looked.

(Though still wary because, y'know, april fools and shit - though they're two days early for that...)

Creating an entire class of weapons, let alone two, specifically for one race would create more backlash than income.

Whats a Duman
In the portables they were some sort of offshoot of humans. Had something to with the SEED... or something. They could easily be worked into the lore PSO2 though given what we're seeing from the aspects of falz and that speculation about Darkers/D-arks/Dark Arks etc.

I still think this is a setup for an april fools joke though.

Imagine, if after they finally got racial balance right with this game (by pretty much giving up on it and making the difference negligible, but still), they went ahead and introduced beasts, complete with nanoblasts. It'd be so Sega.

Too bad nanoblasts will just increase your damage, instead of changing core gameplay, or providing utility/ combat options.

I'm not gonna lie, you can already do that if they just release some eye patches. >_>

The main reason I don't think they would is because... well... they haven't yet. There's a LOT of stuff they could have limited by race/gender and haven't other than outfits for obvious reasons. I know sega has done some dumb stuff I just can't imagine them going THAT far, considering they're going to start giving us skill resets when they change the skill trees now.

After seeing people recreate their characters due to some inhibiting factors (ie. caseals not being able to wear the other female clothes), I wouldn't even doubt that as a possible notion.

As for the reskills, I'm not confident with the skill trees being changed, what with what's already happened.

Then there might be need to bring back Mirage Blasts, and SUV's just to even the other races out.

When I put it that way, it sounds really redundant seeing how photon blasts are now.

Well the Photon Blasts already have a lot in common with Mirage blasts, so I can see that being redundant. SUVs would be cool though, they were my favorite part of playing a cast in PSU. I can see it not happening though considering casts have been out since the game's launch.

photoners sounds like it's either a tentative name, something Shogai came up with cause they don't have anything else to go with, or... possibly... just possibly, an april fools setup. I'm waiting until after april first before I start hardcore speculating about things like that.

They could add race based Photon Blasts.
Humans keep the current ones, Newmans get some that are elemental based, Cast get some that turn the Photon Beast into machine like weapons (here the Photon Beast would look like some mecha monster weapon), Dewman get Photon Blasts were the Photon Beast turns into an energy so that they can do their infinity blasts (when attacking, the energy could have the shape of the beast showing somehow) and the Photon Blast of Beasts would have the Photon Beast merge with them, so they have something like a Nanoblast.

Even 'Emissaries of the Great Light', in contrast to 'Profound Darkness Kin', would've sounded better if not a mouthful.

What if... what if Lilipans are the new race?

ARKS discovers technology on Lilipa to communicate with natives and they join forces with the Lilipans. Turns out they actually have an underground society to fight Darkers already where every Lilipan was trained as one class using specific weapons left behind by the previous civilization on the planet... Of course, ARKS and Lilipans share their knowledge so we end up with 9 classes total.

1 week after joining forces, Lilipans go ahead and defeat Dark Falz. Only reason they didn't do so sooner was because they couldn't get into outer space on their own.

Also I had a dream a while back that there was a water/ice planet announced and big turtle-people lived there. At first they'd just show up in emergency code on that planet as allies but they would be playable in the next update.

Believe in the Turtlemen, everyone!

They could add race based Photon Blasts.
Humans keep the current ones, Newmans get some that are elemental based, Cast get some that turn the Photon Beast into machine like weapons (here the Photon Beast would look like some mecha monster weapon), Dewman get Photon Blasts were the Photon Beast turns into an energy so that they can do their infinity blasts (when attacking, the energy could have the shape of the beast showing somehow) and the Photon Blast of Beasts would have the Photon Beast merge with them, so they have something like a Nanoblast.

that would be nice to see.

The datamined info showed them as being glass cannons having the highest s-atk multiplier second highest r-atk and decent t-atk, but their hp and defense multipliers are all below 100%. I dunno if it changed or not but I heard that's what they were like in the portables so it makes sense that they'd stay that way in PSO2.

And please no new classes.... just add the new weapons to already existing classes X__X

If this is the case I might consider making one to be a Fighter/Hunter-Ranger/Gunner hybrid to go with my Fighter-Techer Newman and Gunner-Techer Caseal. How they differ appearance-wise and outfit-wise will be the deciding factor for me it seems.

This. I agree with this 110%. I never got to play beasts (never got to play PSU) and I have a soft spot for dragon-like creatures.

We don't need new classes. Just weapons for the old ones.

I want beasts too, but Dewmen are more likely right now. :/

I feel the same way about new weapons, but I won't complain if some of the new weapons are for multiple classes. I was hoping that about the new weapons for fighter/techer/gunner though.... so yeah.

Maybe dewmen can be any race and becoming one just changes their stat distribution. O_o That'd be kind of lame but normal newmen are just pale humans... Which as I've said before we can already do.

Sorry for snapping at you, I'm just a little on edge right now. Honestly looking at their stat multipliers only their s-atk is higher than every other races. Personally I think I'd be better off playing one than a caseal though since I plan on using all 3 attack stats.

Fighter and Hunter already have much more weapon variety than the other classes, so I wish they would at least add more weapons to the other four.
I mean, seriously...

HU/FI: Wired Lance, Sword, Partisan, Knuckles, Twin Daggers, Double Saber
RA/GU: Assault Rifle, Launcher, Twin Mechs

WTF!?

And the thing about Dewmans is, that's just another race that doesn't really look any different from Humans. Sure, Beasts don't look all too different either, but they're still cooler imo
If I hear a game has 4 different races and three of them look almost identical except for some marginal cosmetic differences then what's the point?

Stats. Honestly I feel the same way though. Newmen and beasts at least have their ears going for them, and casts are robuts. I've already said what I can about Dewmen.

As for weapons I have no idea what to expect after what they pulled with the last three.

This is the reason I'll probably not make a Dewman. If they come with their own unique outfits then fair enough but I don't want 3 races where only minor differences occur :nono:

Mar 30, 2013, 08:53 AM
While it's on my mind. The Elder Scrolls games have actually given me a different view on the whole "Races with only minor variations" thing since there's like what? 3 or 4 Human and Mer races each. The Elder Scrolls games make them feel more like different ethnicities by partly limiting the character creation so you can't say, make a Breton who looks like a Redguard.

My problem with Dumen is more that they can technically already be made with humans. Unless Sega does something else to differentiate them I think most people would end up playing them just for their stats.

Actually, no. They aren't. You can tell that much from the latest boss, Chrome Dragon. 9/10 of his attacks are recycled versions of attacks used by other bosses. So no, their attacks and behavior are not completely different.

Yedis don't have the same skill set though. And in the case of Dragons/banthers I really feel it's just that they ARE the same enemies just recolored to fit the area better. I don't think they're trying to pretend they're whole new enemies. If I need to narrow it down then only the banthers and caterdtan'sa are outright recolors of bosses. The others all have some sort of difference or are just minor enemies.


...again. If you'd fought Chrome Dragon, you would know that not to be the case.

I've fought chrome dragon and don't remember it having any attacks that directly mimicked any other enemies. My biggest complaint about the thing is that it's slow.

The yeti's have a different punch animation go into rage mode for different reasons and have a weakspot on their butt. They're also fuzzy all over and have handle bar moustaches.

I meant the normal enemy dragons Dinnian/Sadinian, Fordorian/Fordoriansa etc. The bosses are all unique except Caterdransa.

Y'know, I think that when we fight Apprentice before the end of the year, she'll show off the female Dewman transformation, and that will give them the ability to implement a special type of "Photon Burst" - one that involves a transformation for a set period of time whilst taking the entirety of a Photon Burst gauge (in essence, just a reworked Photon Blast for them).

However, I cannot be certain one iota of this is true. It's merely speculation on my part.

Also, what if Shion and Matoi are both spies for this "Photoners" group? That would explain a great deal about why things have gotten so fucked up in the Oracle system. I mean, considering that Shion allowed you to REVIVE Falz instead of keeping him sealed (not to mention she seems happy about that fact despite the fact that we're in mortal peril because of her bullshit).

Given the new area. And what I can remember of the timeline until summer(If someone could post a link to that timeline that be great I can't find it anywhere) We have a solid few months ahead of us.

Edit: My personal preferance on photon blasts. Would be them giving us some sort of bar. Each mag just has an avatar not a specific attack. Each type of attack cost a certain amount of that bar and we can choose what attack the avatar does. Should they add race specific blasts from PSU. They also drain from that bar. I wouldn't mind having those kinds of options. So long as they don't wait... Like 5 years to give humans and newmans blasts.
