[NoiseHERO]

Would want Kuna Jet Boots.

Shoulda got more AIS quests a long time ago, originally planning for that to be a gimmick in one quest would be retarded....... or just a SEGA standard.

But yeah nothing exciting.

[Arada]

At the bottom left of the magazine screenshot, it looks like "Kuna Jet Boots" to me.

[Ce'Nedra]

Bah, rather had it remain a dagger then a JB. That poster is something I been wanting for a while but its going to be serval mils for sure.

[bilun]

feels weird if it's Kuna JB :(

[Kiyumi]

Looking forward to more AIS!

How exactly do they decide what is a "Quna weapon"? I mean, doesnt she only use twin daggers in the story?

[LonelyGaruga]

The character pictured is wearing Zelsius (can't tell if it's actually Quna or not, image quality is too low for me to make out the hair). The JBs are shaped exactly the same as Quna's TDs. Dunno why JBs are coming before TDs, but this might just be a case of an outfit themed weapon. They probably don't belong to Quna, but they're certainly inspired by her.

Also, since the OP isn't really clear on this...we're getting a Facility EQ (which has XH support), but isn't one of the quests that has A.I.S. in it? There's nothing in the OP that actually says anything about the EQ pictured.

AIS is in the g-heaven link, nothing to do with the magazine scan.

Its probably a themed weapon cause the character doesn't has Quna's hair. You can clearly see that by the visible forehead which battle Quna doesn't has. You can also see dewman horns on her head.

[LonelyGaruga]

Yeah I kinda noticed. A.I.S. isn't mentioned in the magazine scan and obviously isn't pictured, so...yeah. I guess I should have phrased that differently.

I'm asking if there's any information about the EQ, besides the fact that it has XH.

So just the same deal as the usual outfit themed weapons, nothing special. OK then.

Except usual despictable ones who can't be happy for anything, who can only get a hard-on by critisizing and who always find a way to insult SEGA, this update seems great !

[Xaelouse]

oh...cool I guess. So nothing about new UQ at all? Some weapons need new PAs too

[GoldenFalcon]

oh...cool I guess. So nothing about new UQ at all? Some weapons need new PAs too

yes, muh dual blades

[Poyonche]

"Hey guys, lets give them more quests with AIS, what about extending those to the two other TDs
?"
"Yeah, what a good idea !"
"I love it !"
"Perfect, the meeting is done, good bye everybody !"


Maybe AIS against [Doube] ? Or Another TD.

[Syklo]

The JBs are shaped exactly the same as Quna's TDs. Dunno why JBs are coming before TDs, but this might just be a case of an outfit themed weapon.

Yeah, I'm confused about this too. I was just about to ask if the Quna TDs were already out after seeing this, but I suppose they're not.

Still, I'm all for Quna JBs. They're probably the only cool-looking JBs out there.
I kind of wish it were a camo though. Then again, may as well LET US USE ANY WEAPON MODEL AS A SKIN D:

[GoldenFalcon]

LET US USE ANY UNIT MODEL AS A SKIN D:

fixed

[Vampy]

I'm honestly hoping that top one is fake EQ for seabed is nice but I just feel wrong changinging twin daggers in to dual blades and I really don't think sega is that dumb. I may joke here or there but really they have to be on something to mess that up,

[Rain Walker]

Why not making them weapons skins instead -_-

[NexusAZ]

My room is going to be overcome with Quna posters.

[Shinamori]

I was wondering when we'd get weapons from the 6. Or is it 7 now?

[TaigaUC]

Been wondering for a long time when they're going to put in Quna's daggers, and now we get jet boots instead.
So bizarre.

Are they trying to drip-feed Quna fans in the hopes that they'll keep playing until they release the daggers or something...

[Edson Drake]

Aren't those weapons "special" in the sense they are unique and have super powers? For example, Regius' sword is not really a sword but a katana using a sealing case so that it "won't destroy the world" or something? And Quna's twin daggers are able to make her invisible too.

If they're really powerful, they're surely going to be end-game weapons, if that.

those are the worst cast parts I have ever seen

[Sacrificial]

Welcome to....Robo... Ship... Man...Cop?

[Stealthcmc1974]

What in the hell? Those are CAST parts?

[DeificEpyon]

those are the worst cast parts I have ever seen

That is exactly what I said when I looked at that picture. Then I scrolled down and saw your post, haha.

I can't even tell what those cast parts are trying to even be. The parts are thin... but then super clunky at the same time. It's like they couldn't decide if they wanted that set to be sleek or bulky, so they just decided on both, lol.

[Xaeris]

You know, up until now, I'd never seen a cast or caseal set I 100% hated. Even if I hated the look of the whole set together, I'd find at least one of the parts was salvageable to combine with parts from other sets.

Every single part in both those sets is terrible. Like, holy crap, you can't do that by accident; design that terrible is a product of a rare kind of genius. Sega, if you're out of ideas, just start cannibalizing designs from PSU. We'll get over it, if this is the alternative.

[Xaelouse]

Male cast head looks great but that's about it.

[Ordy]

That new caseal body looks great because of cleavage, I just hope that toilet seat thingy is part of the legs and not body (; _ ;)

[Xaeris]

Oo, Black Jack. That could be an okay time waster.

As for those fleshie outfits...well, it's good to have a garbage scratch now and then. Gives my wallet a reprieve.

[Walkure]

Those outfits might be cool. Depends on what color choices (if they exist) are available.

Black Nyack
Best name.

[Digital Pain]

Oh totally forgot we were getting Freedom Wars collab, I hope there not the only costumes were getting though.

[Maenara]

If they actually added an obtainable genesis weapon to the game, I would be pissed off and you should be too.

[Walkure]

I'd chalk it up to time travel, interdimensional shenanigans, and/or just PHOTONS.

Should probably be more mad that since it's a 12* it's probably not even going to be good.

[Anduril]

Well, they could be knock-offs or weapons "inspired by" the genesis weapons, without their special abilities, like having it be Clarissa Repca. Kinda how like designer clothes always have a knock-off that looks almost identical but is made from cheaper materials.

[Maenara]

Lavius: A partizan so powerful it could literally kill a Dark Falz in a single hit. Player version: lol ancient oath

Is this what you guys really want?

[Anduril]

Me? I personally wouldn't mind. Might even prefer it to just be a camo; I think the design is quite beautiful. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

[Maenara]

It really does, because it sets a really shitty precedent any other way.

[Dnd]

Please make the quna boots fi equipable and please give them a good latent and not dark tech charge time or something just terribad

[Anduril]

In what way? It's not like there is a lack of precedence of "uber-rare-unique-in-lore" weapons being available to the masses in past Phantasy Star games. From the first PSO we have the Tsumikiri J-Sword, whose very description of "Owned by Orochi Agito, the blade was made along the same lines as Agito, with a carved seal on the blade," implies that there shouldn't be more than one. Heck, you even have multiple different version of the Elysion, the supposed unique weapon that served as part of the seal for the Profound Darkness in the original Phantasy Star games, in both PSU and PSO2.

[Poyonche]

Please make the quna boots fi equipable and please give them a good latent and not dark tech charge time or something just terribad

"Lets put a light tech charge time !"

[EvilMag]

Since its Qunas weapon it'll be Fi equippable and will have a latent that'll boost a Fi skill. Here's my prediction since Sega is dumb.

Increases Wise Stance critical hit rate by 20%!

[Poyonche]

You are all wrong !

Increase Deadline Slayers by 1.

I'm not saying that the weapons can't be in the game, I'm saying that if they were, they would need to be REALLY REALLY REALLY good. And Sega won't do that.

[LonelyGaruga]

oh...cool I guess. So nothing about new UQ at all? Some weapons need new PAs too

There's no plans for an UQ throughout the entire roadmap, so no surprise there. Still a few months minimum of wait time.

The EQ shown takes place in Facility, not Seabed. It's also official, so it can't be fake.

Quna's TDs are getting JB equivalents, not DBs.

[Macman]

Why not? They did it once already with Anga.

[Drifting Fable]

Quna JBs eh, kinda oversized, but hey I likey. I'll be really hyped if I could gettem HU equipable and with Gran Wave PA attached to it, but that's probably next to impossible.

The sword also looks kinda cool, like an upgraded Coat Edge?

[starwind75043]

I would hope it would be still be on Lillipa. I will want a mech battle with the robots there.

[LonelyGaruga]

The sword also looks kinda cool, like an upgraded Coat Edge?

Probably the same aesthetic as these JBs (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%83%AA%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%96%E3% 83%AB%E3%83%A0).

[Maenara]

I don't think you quite understand how "good" I mean by good.

[GoldenFalcon]

I never really understood the Elysione

[Macman]

I don't think you quite understand how "good" I mean by good.

I sincerely doubt the 6's weapons will be on par with stuff like the eventual release of Eternal Psycho Drive anyway. I'm betting high end 14* or low end 15* at most.

[Tenlade]

Lavius: A partizan so powerful it could literally kill a Dark Falz in a single hit. Player version: lol ancient oath

Is this what you guys really want?
They weren't exactly impressive in the story missions where you fought the council members, and most of them broke/lost thier power anyway. Didn't said partisan get wrecked by a falz in the first place?

Y'all are overhyping these dumb overdesigned things way too hard.

As much as an excuse it was to fill drop tables with duplicates, I actually liked the pso1 concept of multiple different replicas of a legendary's hero's weapon, all with different manufacturing years and stats. trying to get a colleciton of agito models/flowen's sword was a nice diversion when bored.

[Shinamori]

I seriously doubt the 6's weapons will have OP latents or whatever.

[Dnd]

I seriously doubt the 6's weapons will have OP latents or whatever.
They'll get terrible ones then 15 months later get the latents they originally should of had

[Shinamori]

Probably, yeah.

[Maenara]

Lore is pretty important, guys.

[Vampy]

Lore is pretty important, guys.

Not as important as you might think. Most times it holds no bearing on the actual gameplay itself very little does a game's lore actually play a critical role in a game like this.

[Maenara]

I bet you skip all the cutscenes.

[Vampy]

You are confusing gameplay for story those are two completely different things.

[Xaeris]

This seems really easy to get around; call the player available versions replicas. Boom, done.

[Anduril]

This seems really easy to get around; call the player available versions replicas. Boom, done.
Yep. Just have the description include something like "A(n) *insert weapon type here*(or Weapon Camo) modeled after the Genesis Weapon *weapon name*. Although unable to rival the true weapon's power ... etc." Ta-Da! No lore problem there.

[Exiled_Gundam]

Sometimes the lore do foreshadow the weapon's latent. For example the Ely Sion weapon description says "it hold enough power to cleave through even a planet" which somewhat later (in the EP3) reflected by the addition of the latent for Overend damage added to it.

[LonelyGaruga]

They weren't exactly impressive in the story missions where you fought the council members, and most of them broke/lost thier power anyway. Didn't said partisan get wrecked by a falz in the first place?

That's part of how it works. The partisan breaks when used but is one of the most powerful weapons story-wise, and can be repaired.

Main thing about the Council of Six's weapons is that they're, story-wise

1) one of a kind
2) select their wielders
3) ownership qualifies the user to be a Council of Six member (this is how Zeno becomes a member, spot number 4 was vacant prior because nobody was capable of using the GS at the time)

So they can't just be ordinary weapons, because they actually factor into the plot rather importantly, and don't just have lore going for them.

But there is also some story precedence for the potential of knockoff versions. We have the Claris Clones' mass-produced Clarissa IIs, and if I recall from when the real Clarissa is taken to Zieg for repair, he seems to imply that he has seen other fakes of the weapons (which he assumes the real Clarissa is).



I'm not even sure why I'm still going on with this. Guess I'm bored since there is no work this week.

[Maenara]

Cause you're 'mirin' those fancy-ass genesis weapons hard and you're gonna keep rationalizing it to yourself so you can hope they'll be player obtainable eventually.

I want Nanaki as much as the next person, but I also know it wouldn't make sense if I ever got it.

Actually, I would never use any of them. I don't use Partizans, Knuckles, Swords, Katana, or Gunslahes, and although I use Rods, I don't particularly like the look of Clarissa. The only one I might use is Casra's Talis, but even then, unless it was a camo, I would probably never bother to hunt for it.

Also, the fact that they are making Quna's TB into an obtainable weapon, albeit JBs, means they most likely will eventually.

[Maenara]

Don't deny it! I can see it in your eyes!

[Anduril]

Don't deny it! I can see it in your eyes!
You...can see my eyes? Oh God, not again.

[Maenara]

I am not in the air vent. I promise.

[Drifting Fable]

Regius can keep his Yonohate for whatever canon reasoning, but I want dibs on the Akatsuki Fu/In(blue bias, I know) oxo b.

I'm sure a similar case can be made for the others.

Knock-offs aren't out of the question, but they're knock-offs and not the actual weapons proper. A knock-off would be no more unique than any other weapon. It'd be the best way to go, but it's different from actually implementing the weapons as something that can be acquired.

Zieg is a weapon genius and is probably the guy that repairs Maria's partisan (unless she does it herself). Chances are good that he can do repairs for any kind of weapon.

[Maenara]

I sincerely doubt the 6's weapons will be on par with stuff like the eventual release of Eternal Psycho Drive anyway. I'm betting high end 14* or low end 15* at most.

They are the strongest weapons, period. All other weapons are reverse-engineered from them.
