New V-Jump scan - nanoblast, SUV weapons system

[EspioKaos]

GameFront.de (http://www.gamefront.de/) posted a new scan (http://ranobe.sakuratan.com/up/src/up77452.jpg) today from V-Jump magazine. This one details the beasts' nanoblast and cast's SUV weapons. Doesn't seem to be any new info, but there are some good pictures of Leogini's beastform, Tonnio starting to transform, and Lou with some really, really big guns.

Later tonight, after I get off work, I'll do a proper translation to make sure there isn't any new info.

DUDE TAHT IS SWEET!!! now i really cant wait for it to come out.... http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[DeathMachine]

OOH! Really BIG guns! Makes me want to be a Cast more than ever! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[PhruitBaskit]

Wow, some of those attacks that the beasts do when they transform are pretty nuts. He's like throwing tornadoes. And that top most thumb nail looks like a different beast...Not Leo! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif That's pretty cool if that's what it is. I want to see what some of the different nanoblasts that they have. And Espio wasn't kidding when he said really, really big guns. God damn those things are huge. They don't have weapons like that on tanks! So casts get super giant gatling guns, huh? Not gonna complain 'bout that. Kick ass! One more reason for me to make my main a cast. Those SUV guns are awesome. Thx for the scan Espio http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif That's really cool. Can't wait to hear some translations...

[OdinTyler]

All I gotta say is HOLY SHIT! THOSE GUNS ARE HUUUUUGE! I figured youd port in some decent weps with the SUV. With SUV likes that, who needs an army? You ARE the army! LOL Man, Im glad theres gonna be some casts in the guild. As for beasts, a series of tornadoes? Man, I cant wait to try out that & any other atk that beasts get. This game is SO gonna rule! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Alisha]

makes you wonder what a female beast will look like in beast form and theres a female of the beast race in the story

http://pso-world.com/images/psu/characters/liina.jpg it says her age is 22? makes me wonder if beasts age slowly

[OdinTyler]

They do. Theyre the opposites of newmans. Newmans age quickly, beasts age slowly. Its to help them endure harsh conditions while they do the dangerous manual labor they do on Moatoob. As for beast females, they shouldnt look too different. Youll be able to tell theyre female, Im sure. I just hope that unlike Leo's transformation, you can retain some of your original coloring from your char, when you transform.

[Neith]

Yeah, I hope the female beast Nanoblast is different, would be a bit wierd turning into that male one XD

Loving that SUV for droids though, that's awesome http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[OdinTyler]

Yeah, tell me about it. A hermaphrodite beast? That aint happening! As for the casts, yeah, I think Ill have to make one just to play with those SUVs. Maybe a real small android so the guns look even bigger? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[DeathKnight]

haha, looks sweet. just another perk for playing a cast in my mind. one thing i wonder is what SUV is supposed to stand for >> either way, just something more to look forward to http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Uncle_bob]

Come on. Big guns are fine, but that's a little absurd. :|

[OdinTyler]

Not sure, but, the S probably stands for Satellite as the SUV is beamed down to you.

[Parn]

Everything about Phantasy Star is absurd. 17 year olds being masters of martial arts, weaponry, techniques, and being able to save the world is all far-fetched, but hey... that's part of the fun behind videogames.

After all, if you want something more realistic, that's what sports games and Grand Theft Auto are for, heh...

[OdinTyler]

Given that alot of RPGs take place in the middle ages & ppl were lucky if they lived past their 20s back then, its not exactly absurd for there to be teenage heroes. Also keep in mind that when RPGs were created, they were created by younger ppl with younger ppl in mind. Farfetched? Not at all. Understandable? Very much so.

P.S. If you really dont like Phantasy Star, why are you here?

[Korashimo]

Parn dont be a poor sport just lighten up and not critisize the way the game was made, even though it is very unlikely. If we wanted something more realistic then i guess we wouldnt be playing this game as terms of killing giant monsters on other planets.

[ANIMEniac]

to reiterate... HOLY NUGGETS THOSE ARE SOME BIG GUNS! and of course it is like the japanese to try to pack them on the smalest female android they could find.i yonder if they well be fired automaticaly or if u can walk around with them till you decide to unleash the furry. ither way im luvin it.

ps, for those who have minds in the gutter, we meen guns literly, not girls brestisis.

[Parn]

OdinTyler, Korashimo, do either of you like... know how to read at all? Or is your attention span so short that you can't read past the first sentence?

Gee, I wonder if Parn likes Phantasy Star!

Anyone get the feeling Parn has the attention span of a goldfish? Btw thats approximately 3 seconds. Also, Im pretty sure I know how to read as Kora is as well. Not too hard to spot complaining & arrogance in the same sentence now is it? Like Kora said...RELAX!

[Ryna]

All discussion in this thread should be related to the scan that EspioKaos posted. Anything else will be considered off-topic. If some of you have grievances with each other, use the Private Message system.

To get back on topic, that is some very impressive weaponry that Lou is sporting. It makes me wonder how you are supposed to "charge up" your special attack.

[OdinTyler]

Well, Im sure there will be a similar charge for Nanoblasting as well. When youre ready to nanoblast or summon your SUV, as the PSO quote goes:

It 'will tell you to use the power.'

I dont think the SUV needs to charge up, itself, per se. Since its satellite-beamed to you, you would charge up for its use. Once acheiving this, beam down & blow whatever is in your path, away. As for nanoblasting, probably a similar concept, then transform, & wreck house!

[Espilonarge]

The barrel looks rather wrong on that chaingun. If you notice thees 4 barrels (holes) but 6 poly's which looks out of purportion. I would expect 8 poly's for all 4 holes (smoother look when the chaingun rotates) or place a couple of extra holes in the barrel to make it look correct (1 hole in each corner.)

On that note, does anyone here think those guns are looking a little heavy for her to be holding up? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Niki]

Wow?

The Beast. Hm, well, that scan makes me want to start a male and female beast before even trying anything else. Nanoblast=hot.

As for the SUV scans, i'm just glad that it's Lou sporting them and not Renvolt. i mean, a male cast wielding something like that, and you know he's got a problem with his cast jr.

Once again, props Espio and GameFront.

[EspioKaos]

The scan talks about how only beasts can perform the nanoblast, transforming their bodies, therefore greatly increasing their power and speed. Nothing new there. With casts, however, the text describes their SUV-weapons as an "instant-kill skill." (Maybe "instant" isn't the best word to use, as the first character in hissatsuwaza translates as "inevitable," but it's the best fit I can find that's not awkward sounding. Still, I'm sure you guys get what I mean.) Now, about the whole satellite thing with the SUV-weapons. That's caused me some confusion as far as translating goes -- especially way back before we were properly introduced to the verb "nanotrance." Now, however, I think I've got it figured out. Notice in the picture directly to the left of the block that says "CAST." Lou has one of her arms in the air, as if she just threw something above herself. Also note that there is an explosion along with the A-photon circles forming around it. Perhaps this satellite that has been mentioned before is actually a form of a nanotrancer that a cast has to launch themselves in order to summon their SUV weapons? I wish I could say for sure, but the text here doesn't confirm that.

Cat-girls. According to the original concept art shown by SonicTeam at E3 2004, at least.

[DeathMachine]

Looks like I may need a beast as a secondary character, just so I can experience the awe-inspiring NANOBLAST!

EDIT: Curse my inability to spell.

[Espilonarge]

If the Beasts females transformed into catwomen, shouldn't it be called NekoBlast? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Who said it was supposed to be a chain gun??? Maybe it's just a kick ass giant multi-barreled SEMI-AUTO cannon...What Then? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Mr Critical, jeez! Why do you hace to criticize something that just looks so great. Come on and admit that it's awesome, even though it only has 6 poly's for 4 holes http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif And no it doesn't look to heavy for a cast. Dude, they aren't limited by muscles. It's all in the hydraulic pressure LOL

Btw, Thanks for the translations Espio http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

o.O... Catgirls you say? I demand to see pictures and/or a link to said concept art.

[jean-yavon]

MAN THE GUNS SHE HAS ARE HUGE!! The beast form looks
kind of silly to me though.

[Eihwaz]

A feline-ish transformation for female Beasts does make sense. If they do turn into catgirls, perhaps they become very agile/speedy, as opposed to rippling juggernauts of muscle tissue?

Also, the furry crotch has me a bit concerned. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif I do, however, rather like that white tribal-esque pattern he's sporting.

Lou's guns are way too big to be used for anything remotely close to you. Perhaps Lou will be a backup character, standing a good distance removed from the battlefield, toasting wave after wave of enemy.

Well sorry but you can just call me Mr. Picky if you want. I'm just stating the obvious because if it really is a chaingun, the rotation will look uneven since its 4 barrels trying to keep up with an uneven model. If it was 6 barrels or 8 polygons, it may look somewhat smoother when it rotates (prefer 8 poly's since that'll make the rotation look more streamless.)

[Espilonarge]

Now it makes me think, is it possible to make actual anthro's in this game? I mean the Nanobeast form seems mostly like a anthro lion on males, does that mean we can make them have muzzles and a tail when there not going crazy ape on us? http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

You can kind of see it in the E3 2004 trailer. But, here's a better pic (http://www.espiokaos.com/misc/psu_female_beast.jpg). This was taken from the Flash animation SonicTeam had on their site back before the official PSU site opened up.

[Espilonarge]

Woah! Headbangs for the side of the face!? I'm SO there!!! Hopefully they'll have it for male forms aswell since my character would have them. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Lets just hope hair is more flowing then animated. PSO's hair looked rather stupid when it just bobbed up and down. c.c

[AzureBlaze]

I just now noticed but...
The beast guy has a tail with a little fringey-doo on the end of it. Is it a little...wacky? For something like that to have a teeny fringey tail? I mean Saiyans have tails but they were supposed to be monkey-like.
I still want to see a female beast, hopefully she isn't absurd or wacky looking. (or h00rish) Same with female cast that isn't Lou. There's so little footage I wonder if they are under wraps for some reason?
SUV weapons: just one more reason I'm glad to be an android. Those will ROCK on some kind of giant cast with those pointy wing things that one green guy had. You would look like the ultimate badazz of the universe whipping up giant guns from thin air/wherever.
This page is far more exciting then ST's updates where they just showed some ship and that SEED plant thinger we've already seen.

I think the tail is based on a "lion" because not only does the Beast race seem to have cat like features (small indent under the nose flowing from between the nostrals down to the upper lip area, ears looking feline like) but when the male Beast changes, it seems to get a mane of fur around its head. Possible reason as to why it looks rather thin because there tail is as thick as a monkey in purportion.

[Sinue_v2]

Meh - I don't really see the point in including cat-girls when there are already Numan characters, who are already part cat to begin with. Weither directly linked by storyline, or re-invented as a continuation of a popular race - the fact is that Numans were originally designed by Tohru Yoshida to be a mixture of Musk Cats and Humans. Hence, the long ears. If it hadn't been for a last minuite change of heart - Numan females (From Nei on up to Karen Ellas) would have tails as well.

I guess the furries just need something a bit more "feral" and antro-looking.

As for the the gun - it seems to work to me. I only count 5 holes per gun. One for each outside barrel, and one in the middle to represent the spindel the barrels revolve on. (though it may be another non-rotating barrel)

Shhh, Nei and Rika will be offended... c.c;;;

[uhawww]

Android chicks with insanely huge guns...?
I fully endorse this product.

When all the pieces of the puzzle are finally put together, I can see this game such chaotic fun...

Not that I'm aware of. Someone else ripped this from the Flash animation on SonicTeam's site a while back, and they said this was the best quality they could get.

Curses... Damn you sega, keeping us in suspence... *Shakes fist*

Oh well, thanks for the link and the info anyways http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
