What's with the horribly ugly CAST Head?

[FenixStryk]

While I was making a CAST and going through the helmets, I noticed that one of the choices had an enormous protrusion. Now, I like FLCL as much as the next guy, but that face is just stupid. I mean, seriously.

While I personally wouldn't use it, I could see someone else using it. With some of the parts options it could end up looking good.

Boombox head is the best one

[Bleemo]

Helmets, lol. Yeah they did get kind of jipped on the headgear.

sick.. funny... sorta... but sick

[Pandemic]

The same head is in PSO just smaller.

Curiously enough, I found myself liking it on other casts- that is, further away from me and never seeing it up close. I thought 'what -is- that helmet?' a few times... then I connected it with the one I thought was terrible in creation.

I do wish there were more helmets... I shoulda checked out the makeover shop in beta. Just like there are more hairstyles to switch from, I wonder if there's more headgear in the makeover (there was an option to change the helmet when I went in with my cast, but I never tried it).

Female casts has some werid heads too. The table head one is a bit out there. Then there is the Tenten/minne mouse balls with the fans. I personally like the Devil horns one, It goes best with milky white eyes. Rwar!

[Candor]

yeaaa, i thought it looked like a jet engine at first. wonder if it's gonna be popular http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[AnamanaAU]

use boombox head and just shout everywhere.

[FenixStryk]

Too many sympathysers. The head is simply disturbing. I mean, it's a helmet. How do CASTs put that on and still see out of it?

[AzureBlaze]

I am not happy with the cast heads either.
The pointed face for RAcast on PSO was so much more refined/elegant than that giant monstrosity. It makes your dude look mini just cause it's so big. It's also really impractical, cause if you think about walking around like that...why?

Cast got dumped on a bit in here it seems, if you liked original (Kireek) HUcast, you're kind of sunk. Whereas Elenor has a DIRECT clone of her face. Also many of the male heads get looking similar. All they do is re-arrange the cracks around the eyes and put some lines across. It didn't seem like they thought thru making the males "Mannequin" like with different looks of faces like they did the caseals, which is dissapointing.

The shops for androids (at least in the beta) provided NOTHING new headswise. Hopefully that'll change. Also to mind if you pick fleshface cast, it does not (now) let you switch to armor and vice/versa, which is utter trash.

But, I guess they wanted one "wacky" head for each cast type (female being the giant hat thing)...but I mean there's already a "mad scientist brain dome" so...

[Mike]

At least with the giant hat you can see the face on the female cast. That long helmet blocks the faces on the male cast.

[JaiBlue]

So now all of a sudden this look isn't good enouh for people? http://shenmue.planets.gamespy.com/images/characters/foundharbor1.jpg

I believe they CASTs use sensors LOL

Word to that brotha, that head rocks.

[Zato-2TWO]

Man, all you guys complaining about "impracticality" in a video game need to face the facts. If this game were about practicality, Hunters wouldn't exist because everyone'd be using guns and Technics, since logically it's safer and more practical than charging into battle with a sword.

I've managed to whip up some cool looking robo-head male casts in my character generator, even with the metallic pompadour/boomboxhead/whathaveyou. Anyone who can't make a piece of character creation in this game look good just isn't trying hard enough.

[Midicronica]

I like that head selection, personally. I was thinking awhile back that I'd probably choose that certain style if I were to ever make a Cast on PSU. It's the same head that was available on Cast on PSO, but now it has that weird opening.. Not too bad, though.

[RadiantLegend]

The only cast head i hate is the fleshy one.

[Iduno]

the long head is my favourite one lol!

I agree! Who wouldn't love a giant sub-woofer on top of their head. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[-Shimarisu-]

It looks like a penis.

[Zabot]

i have seen some pretty neet casts with that head. and also i agree with the heasdgear, i think there will be more in the final product, but i wish not everything for the casts looked like samurai wear

[Nilot]

That head would be cool if it seconed as an SUV weapon and shot a giant darkness lazer =p where are the eyes on it anyway? it just seems to be a mystery hole... -sticks his hand in-...... IT BURNS!!!
I don' t leik it, it shoulda been more like the beak-head that Racasts had

[1337Beeb]

Worst. Head. Ever.

[Callous]

No screenshot ftl?

I agree. If people want realistic video games, then Phantasy Star in general shouldn't exist.

[Cigaro]

I am highly upset with the inability to make a decent-looking male CAST without using one of two face/helmet combinations.

It made me switch to wanting to use a female CAST.

[FAHR-3NH317]

imho, CASTs look damn cool :>

[Nilot]

besides, they'll add more stuff later on, I'm sure they have something butt-whoopin for them (Maybe they'll release them robot wings ~hot~) =P

[Akaimizu]

I actually think casts look pretty cool. The idea that there's that level of variety in which some will like and others wouldn't, simply adds to the environment. Many of the cast heads I've seen, actively moving around in-game, I thought were pretty keen for their build. Though I can imagine some heads looking completely bad on the wrong body.
