It would appear that this week's update is another itty-bitty screenshot update for a few characters (and finishing off these 2-screenshot updates on the Guardians). Namely Ohbel Dallgun, Maya, Nav, and Pete (!). Again, these images are just JPG's linked from withing the PSU site .SWF contraption:

Dallgun (he only seems to have one picture added, which is just a snippet from the E3 trailer we've all seen):

Maya (with a side helping of Curtz):

Nav, the kooky old chap:

Pete (sadly these are just bigger versions of the images we've already seen on various Partner Machinery updates, with lesser dressed Ethan):

The 'Topics' section was also updated with two featurettes 'Games Japan Festival 2005 in Osaka', and 'GameArc'. I'm guessing these are places you can run around and play PSU in/from on the 12th and 13th of November within certain hours. Sadly, the text is within an image, and can't be ran through a translator, but I'm sure there's one or two people here that can probably give it a go..

Makes me wish I was living in Osaka... o_o

So, the PM is called Pete, even ingame.
It does make me more hopeful that we can custom name our PMs.

Yes please. Im not naming my PM Pete. I mean if thats what Im stuck with, so be it. My guess is that 'Pete' is just what Ethan's is called or at least what theyre referred to in Ethan's storyline.

I just hope that that cast, Curtz, is a good guy and that you can play as him in offline mode. I would be very happy if you can. Customizing your PM's name? That would be very cool. Pete is kind of a lame name, but I bet Odin's right and it's just the name of Ethan's name.

Vote Maya! LOL

HAHA Pete...I don't blame you Odin...I'm not naming my PM pete either. Maybe Peter...but not Pete.

Im concerned about Curtz tho. True, you see him next to Maya, but, Curtz is also part of Magashi's group. Maybe Maya is the one person keeping him to the side of good? Only time will tell...

What!?! Curtz is part of Magashi's group? Where did it say that??? Let's just hope Maya's uber hot bod keeps him on the side that we get to play as http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Dammit time! Why won't you tell me!?! LOL

Yes, its true. Go to the PSU site & when you see the different categories for grps, look up Magashi's. Youll see Curtz there. Yes, lets hope Maya can use her newman wiles to lure Curtz to the dark side...I mean the good side! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

God dammit! I was really hoping to play him in offline (there's got to be one male cast you get to play in offline, I wonder who it'll be...) Maya, put your 'wiles' to work and get Curtz' metal ass over to the good side! LOL We'll see how it works out, I guess...

OdinTyler

Well, we dont know that we cant play as him. Remember, you only get a few ppl to play with in the demo & theyre automatically part of the party. That & with the demo, you were Lv15. When we start (offline & online), we'll be Lv1. Not entirely impossible that other chars could join & leave the grp.

But we don't know if we can play as him either...I understand that there were only a few others in your group in the demo. I would hope that as you go on, and the story progresses, more people join your group and thus you can play as more people. Kind of like Dynasty Warriors 4...Any one know what I'm talking about?

Yes & that was my point. Given that its the 1st 'offline' PS game in a long time, expect chars to come & go, including our friend Curtz. Personally, if I have a choice, Id like to keep Maya around. As for Curtz, he just reminds me of the old RAcasts. I understand your sympathy for him as I know youre a RAcast admirer, as am I. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

you're allowed to switch characters offline? thought ST said that ethan was the only playable character and all others were just A.I based.

OdinTyler

Was that said? I should hope we get to control the others. I just meant that others will come & go through the grp, just like any other RPG. If we can ONLY officially control Ethan, that wont be much fun. Im gonna warn you guys again: PROTECT HYUGA, HE BLOWS! LOL

I hope you can switch chars offline. If you can't that's going to suck a fatty! I'm hoping for a male and female of each race offline. Then you'll know what they're all like. And when did ST say offline was Ethan-Only? I hope that was just a thought. All I have to say is that if ST put THAT much of a limit on offline, then damn! Offline has to have a little bit of char variety...

Thanks for the heads-up about Hyuga...I guess http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
