If Humans and Newmans had Special Abilities, what do you thi [Archive]

Human Special Ability: Bureaucracy
The Human player sends each nearby enemy a Hero party Attack Permission form that must be filled out before attacking the party. If the enemies are able to fill this form, the processing time of the form will still render it unable to attack the party for 2-6 days (real time).

Newman special ability: Super Hearing
A Newman's large, pointed ears can hear the vital organs of an enemy, enabling him or her to pinpoint said organs and destroy them in the most gruesome yet precise way imaginable. Also works on machine enemies for some reason.

Newman Special ability: They Really Are Horns. See? I Told You So, Rika!
The Newman's ears can bend in a way that they point forward like a bull's horns. These horns can be used in conjunction with Space Elven Speed (only usable with this special move) to gore the enemy. The Newman player has the choice to either toss the gored enemy into the air for additional damage, or leave the enemy stuck on the horn allowing teammates to whail on it. One enemy per horn can be stuck at any time.

since ff8 was my favorite, i think that hunters should pull some bad ass squall moves like leaonheart or however its spelled and forces should be able to summon monsters like ifrit [which looks basically like a beast] or there was this game i played on dc called power stone and when you get to a certain point, you can transform and use a totally different fighting style and eather you could launch out some badass attacks or you could use all the power to do a really special move!!

Rare underpowered Photon Blast items that go in the armor's Extra slot for all races and classes. All races could have the option to use PBs they find, but they would be less effective than Nanoblast and SUV for balance and fun.

Human special ability: Ecodisaster
The Human player can use his special ability to adapt to and horribly pollute any environment to make their surroundings completely inhospitable for all life forms other than the user's party and cockroaches. Even the SEED cannot withstand the Humans' terrible powers of ecological deformation.

Human special ability: Cheap Manufacturing
It turns out that Casts and mechanical enemies (and their assembly lines) were made using cheap materials and half-assed labor. All mechanical enemies and Casts, friend or foe, suffer from a random amount of damage or status effect.

Human/Newman special ability: (Cute) Animal Compassion
Beasts and animal-type enemies (not infected by SEED) become charmed by the Human or Newman calling them cute names and petting them. Enemy animals become friendly and docile (until the petting stops or the party kills them and carves them). Beasts are able to retain their Nanoblast form for a longer duration so that the Human or Newman player can continue petting them. Does not work on slimy enemies or insects.

Seriously, Humans and Newmans should have Photon Blasts at least 3 different ones.
Like Mylla & Youlla type , Pilla type , and something else... some nostalgic aspects from PSO like that would be really cool.
(*crosses fingers* "...please have more than just Rappies...)

IMO is kind of sad that Beasts and Casts have their onw unique special attack (nano-blast and SUV's respectfully) though humans don't have anything similar? *slightly* sad. but ah well. The different weapon PA's are still kick-@##.

Human: Nanoboost
Boosts all stats of the player for a limited amount fo time. Kinda goes through the old boost that mags use to give before bosses.

Human: Berserker's Folly
The player uses a combo of all photon arts on the weapon equipped making it a devastating attack.

Human: Kongfu King/Queen
Puts the weapon away and shows us what kind of fighter he/she is. Unarmed ownage.

Newman: Silly Soup
The newman creates a potion infront of the enemy and thows it on him. This will give two or three random status affects to the enemy, without damage, but hey, it's the effetc that counts.

Newman: Project Hammer 2
Get ready, the newman's gone crazy! The player can use any weapon in any hand, whatever the weapon may be for a limited amount of time. And it's 'holding' only takes one hand (even two swords).

Newman: Where did every1 go?
Throws out a huge attack, kinda like the Oroagito's special (but much much better).

Newman: Gelid Time
The enemy(ies) is(are) frozen for a limited amount of time and whatever spell you use, they don't unfreeze.

But really, under my opinion Humans and certainly Newmen don't need Photon Blasts, they are already battle gods as they are. Between spells and allover capacities they both rule.

Newmans: Temp. Infinite TP and spell effectiveness doubled.

Humans: Temp. Invincibility

That or Photon Blasts.

Aside from these two, there are so many other possibilities that Sonic Team could have used. It's really unbalanced when two races have a super ability and two others don't. Hopefully this is corrected in an update/patch or something.

Newmans should have like faster PP recovery and Humans, well, umm. I dunno. or better yet, beasts and casts DON'T have any special attacks.

but then Beasts would just be stronger Numans. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

its great they have Nanoblasts.

the Casts SUVs are great too.

Humans and Newmans don't need special abilities, people will use them anyway. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Newmans used to have the unusual ability to level faster than everyone else (Damn you Nei and Rika...especially Rika) I think that since Newmans will be weaker physically than humans that this old fashion ability be brought back, in some form or another =

Newman Hunters, woot ^_^

Humans: Expert mode (Dual class)
Newmans: dammage taken goes to TP

Humans will be the only ones with a Neisword, witch is the superior weapon and always be the leaders:)

Saner

Aug 18, 2006, 04:03 PM

that is a neat idea about only Humans being able to dual class.

there's no TP, now Photon Points are used for techs, etc.

Aug 18, 2006, 04:27 PM

I was thinking somthing like...PP point asorption or humans beeing able to tap into some secret power of some sort. Then again, you don't get much more boring then a human. I guess their super power is the ultimate mediocrity that only THEY can posses.

Aug 18, 2006, 06:04 PM

If humans and newmans got a special ability, humans should get an ability that increases their attack speed (or spell speed if theyre fomar/ls) or possibly some "limit break" skill. That was my biggest problem with PSO even with the photon bursts. For Newmans, since they are mainly forces, they should get an ability that either increases their magic attacks (even enfeebling/enhancing spells) or like mentioned previously, give them unlimited mp for a short time.

Realistically Humans and Newmans should use photon blasts. To keep up with the game’s pace photon blasts should be in real-time, almost like the traditional summon, but Sci-Fi-itized.

There is another simple remedy that SOMEBODY has brought up earlier <.< >.>
That certain races; lets say Human and Newman this time, can use certain items that only they can use. Let’s say those race specific items are some of the best in the game and can deal over 1000 damage. Just a suggestion ---> http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=116977&forum=20&48

On a jocular note, maybe Humans and Newman are the only races capable of driving vehicles… well, http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Phantasy Star Universe Ver. 1.2 Patch Notes
New Human special ability added: SUV Weapon
Completely unlike the Cast version of SUV Weapon, the Human SUV Weapon summons a Sport Utility Vehicle that the user can sit in and drive, that leaves a trail of poisonous fumes. It only has enough fuel for 30 seconds of driving (about 1 second per gallon!) but can roll, flip and eventually explode, causing massive damage and Burning to all who are caught in it. If the driver is lucky, he/she can bail before the explosion.
In Ver. 1.3 we hope to add a Demolition Derby mode.

so Beasts have Nanoblast and Casts have SUVs.

if you could choose, what would you come up with for Humans and Newmans?

Humans:

Numbers: Two semi-translucent clones of your character and begin attacking the same enemy that you're attacking. They only do half as much damage as you do, but they cannot take damage, and exist only until the end of the effect.

Precision Strike: All the enemies in your immediate area slow almost to a stop, and you walk up to the closest one. If you're a hunter, you stab it in the neck; if you're a ranger, you point-blank him in the face; if you're a force, you pop him in the face with a fireball. These attacks cause tripple damage.

Newman:

Ancestors: Phantoms appear around you, in a swireling cloud, and tear through everything around you. This deals substantial damage, but doesn't have the best range, and doesn't last for very long.

Damnation: Your characters turns dark, they hover about a foot of the ground, and their eyes begin glowing brightly. Any techniques performed while in this state do double damage, but your defense is reduced, and they cannot perform standard attacks.

Humans:

Mimicry - The ability to replicate heroes from days of lore. Players are temporarily transformed into copies of fictional warriors such as Goku, Neo or Sephiroth; terrifying all who stand in their way with overpowered weapons and Devil Wing mags. The simple utterance of their war cry, "NEONE HV FREE RAREZ PLZ??!1" acts as a ward, preventing Phantasy Star veterans from coming within 25 yards of players using this ability.

Spiky Hair - All human characters have the ability to multiply their power 10-fold when using spiky hair

Newmans:

Lolicon - newman utilize the inherent ability to shrink in stature, giving the outward appearance of pre-teen children. Rare item rate increases for party by 250% for the duration of this ability. Items found by other players are automatically distributed to lolicon-using newman.

How about gender specific special moves, too?

For female characters, I nominate Fetish. This grants all female characters the ability to wear racy, unrealistic costume clothing - such as French maid outfits and schoolgirl uniforms. Since the first law of female video game dynamics clearly states that the amount of clothing worn by female characters is inversely proportional to protection - defense and evasion are multipied by variable factors such as how much cleavage/undercleavage is showing, also taking into account the ratio at which female characters' panties can be seen.

With the dragonzord power you cna't lose!

Human:

Summon Elysdeon.
With a choice of attacks that can be preformed, such as a spin to get a group off of you, or a single enemy jab/slash. With the swing or swings, there should be a cool whisper/hushed talking sounding sound effect of sorts. (And make it so you can just barely hear the wittiness that the sword says.)

(I hope some of the people here have seen that one site, whatever it was called, and the 'Coversations Within Elsydeon.' ^_^ It's pretty witty.)

Numan:

Nei's blessing.
Makes your weapon look like a weapon of Nei, based on what weapon you had equiped at the time. Gentally enhances restoration of PP (Is that what it's called?) of the group, and increases your attack by a lot. If your without a groupie nearby, your defence is lowered severely though, and you know, they need they're defence I hear...

(As Nei herself taught us, don't let your Numans fight alone.)

On a less serious note:

Humans:

Download free mp3s- All machines are rendered stunned do to bandwith usage, and a random tune plays in the background. (Including the old Inspector Gadget cartoon theme. >> And the casino area song from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. )

Numans:

Clones- Detects all other Numans with the name, Nei, Neifirst, or Rika, in the mission/area, and summons them to the spot, combining all their Attack Power and Technical Power into a very powerful single hit.
If none are around, it just combines your attack and tech stat power.
(Those Clone-Lab clowns have done it again!)
