About weapons and hitting things.

Do they target the same way as in PSO?
And the main question I have: Does say, sabres only hit one target, while a sword would hit a bunch like in PSO? Or, is that system re-shaped?
I haven't heard anything about it so I thought I'd ask.

we won't know until the people have been accepted into beta play the game. the servers aren't up yet so we can only wait.

You can manually target now. That i do know from playing it at digitallife.

Thank goodness. Unchangable auto targeting is a pain, and has lead to many deaths (Baranz ackkk!).

Also wonder if the Bow weapon only works on airborn foes, or if you can aim at a distant ground target and shoot with a high angle (like in reality). That would be awesome!

Looks like it works on Ground Enemies, but not sure on its range.

OMG bows look so cool. wonder what convinced ST to introduce them into phantasy star...

If I'm not mistaken, sabers can attack multiple enemies now. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Sounds great! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Yeah, Jonathan's right. I went to Digital Life as well. You have a lock on system like Legend Of Zelda, and can strafe around them. I have to say my favorite weapon choice @ Digital Life was the Huge Sword. You can actually knock enemies off their feet in this game. which i've been wanting to do to those goddamn booma's for a long time since they always knock me down on ultimate mode >.<

YAY!!!! course, this also means that the opposite will be true for the mobs. they will probably have a lot that can do multi attacks and stuns. still, I'm glad they put that it.

I'm the lone wolf type some of the time. These improvements on the battle system make a huge difference for me.

Well, hopefully we'll have more information than we can shake a stick at tomorrow. Provided you all throw corporate conviction to the wind and disobey the NDA. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Gloqstiq I can see that happening very easily ^_^

I'm quite looking forward to seeing more on photon arts, crowd control seems to be a much simpler thing with those, so I'm guessing that most enemies will have more evasive or complex abilities.

Cannot wait!!! >_<
