hey that section mentions stuff like that. binding PA's to your weapon and stuff.

but like how does this work for blades?

I guess each blade can equip one PA at a time. but can you change the type of PA anytime in your Menu, or do you have to go to a shop to assign it a different PA.


So there are Photon Art shops huh? or are they a part of weapon shops?

and what are the names of the melee attack photon arts discovered so far? they do have names right?

So it's sorta like FF VII in a secnce with the materials?
Also not sure if this has been answered but can you only buy them or will they be dropped to?

Photon Arts can be removed as well...permanently. This option exists because you do have a 32 PA limit, which makes it really hard to master them all and use them all. therefore, it'll be a case of picking the ones you like the most, and trashing the ones you don't need if you are multi-classing. If you are sticking to one class, you should be ok.

A 32 PA limit eh?

So Lyrise, are "extended" PA's included in that 32? or do they just count as one for the root PA.

For example - the basic Saber PA is "rising strike" I believe.

After you level this PA to a certain point you get a new PA which you can chain onto rising strike where you dive into the air and slash your opponent to the floor (I'm afraid I don't know the name)

My question is do the extended attacks each count as a seperate PA? or do all extensions (I've seen at least 3 PA's linked) count as one Photon "art"?

"Extended" PAs are nothing but the same PA. It's just that What changed when you get a PA to 11, and presumably 21 is the "Combo" stat from 1 to 2, and possibly 3.

With that said, They count as one, because its still the same one.

Awesome, thanks for that.

wow I wonder how many PAs there will be for each weapon type?

maybe they might bring in some nostalgic special attack names like
"Cross Slash, Air Slash, Ray Blade, Illusion, Vortex, Legion, Burstroc, Disrupt, etc." http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I highly doubt that will happen. My reasoning would be that when those names came out, they were fresh, and sounded cool. I would like to see the same thing happen in PSU, which I think is already off to a great start in that respect; with attack names like Cross Rush, Gravity Dance, SpinStrike, can't wait to see what else comes up.

ya true they will use original special names.
