It never occured to me that Section ID's could possibly return.
Alright, I think that we can all just assume that Rares are going to be in the game, PSO, and PSU are both built upon this concept and it is one of the things that brings players back to the series. So in some way, shape, or form they will be back.
This is a question I myself would like to see answered. I think at this point its unlikely, seeing as we got a huge amount of info from TGS, and nothing was mentioned about Section ID's. It is of course always possible, and I for one wouldnt mind them being in the game, but like I said, I personally find it unlikely that SEGA wouldnt have mentioned something like that by now.
Well, in PSO, Section IDs were these colored badges everyone got when they started there character. Your name was the determining factor upon which section ID you would get. The section ID determined which weapon, item, armor, etc you could get from some type of monster. A section ID was placed somewhere on the body of your character and I believe there was 10 of them. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Well, each section ID determines the frequency of certain item types. For example, one Section ID would find more rifles than any other weapon, one would find swords, etc. One, Yellowboze, would find lots of Meseta (currency).
But on the higher difficulties, each enemy type would have it's own 'rare' to drop. But the rare would be different depending on your Section ID. Usually, each Section ID would get most rares but from different enemies, but some items (like Rico's Glasses) were exclusive to certain ID's.
This very site even has the complete drop charts from PSO, showing what items drop from each enemy for each ID.
Welcome to the forum! I just joined like few days ago too I love it, and I'm glad to see people as pumped for it as me too.
I see, that sort off cool, did a lot of people hate it or did add a fun challenge to the game? I can't really tell decide right now if i should be hoping for section ID's or not lol. But I did see a Section ID name generator thing on this site, that looks like it will be handy when making my names.Quote:

I wouldnt mind seeing them come back, but I dont really care either way, it was kind of interesting, but not a requirement for a good PS game (although PSU isnt necessarily good if you ask me, it dropped Sec. ID's entirely.)
Yellowboze had some fantastic Ultimate rares, though.
Spread Needle! :D
