PSU Expansion: PA cap raised maybe??

[Maxurion]

Just a thought, but since the expansion will be adding more photon arts into the game, any geusses as to whether the 36 PA cap will be raised? I know it's just speculation at this point but...

And uhh, a little off topic, but will the expansion add new stuff offline as well? Voice-overless online story missions and a near useless extra mode are getting a little stale...

[Kaydin]

Don't count on it. The beta didn't, and I'm hoping they don't raise it.

Yes, AotI will have an offline story mode.

[Soukosa]

They stated they have no intentions to ever raise the PA limit. It's at 36 so people will specialize in certain areas and not be able to do everything. Though, they could also bump it up to 40 just so it's a round number

Since most people that whine about this limit tend to play mulitiple classes on the same char... They did not intend for people to be hybriding 5 classes and exceling at each one of them. The only reason you can change classes is so you don't screw your character up when you decide you don't like your current class, not to change class when ever you feel like it.

[Kimil]

Heh, With the Limit at 36, you really learn which PAs you love... like Resta, Shifta, Renkai and Buten

[Niered]

The 36 PA limit is pefect as-is. It requires you to think ahead and actually plan what kind of character your making, as well as adding another way of differentiating yourself from the crowd.

Honestly I have only around 22 PA's, and only about half of those are maxed. Im not worried about it in the least, and I like having options open. Anyone that complains about not having enough is obvioulsy trying to get one character to be good at everything, and thats simply not how this game is played.

[ZeldaSerenade]

Agreed. There's a reason that they allow you to make four characters instead of one.

I don't want an increase in number of PAs you can carry....I'd MUCH rather have the ability to put two PAs on a single weapon a la Forces. They could easily use the Action button (pick up item button) as a second PA button.

Hmm... good idea. Would be nice if guns could have two bullets equipped at once, and fire them differently like you use two Techs on the same wand. I could finally use both Ice Twins and Mayalee Twins without taking a third of my palette.

If anything they should lower the PA limit down to 30 or 25. That would really screw with peoples heads.

A full Forteclass can have access to every PA available to them. Hybrids are only affected by the 36 pa limit or if you keep switching. Pick a hybrid that will prepare your character for a Forte-job.

Like a Guntecher should prepare being a Full Ranger eventually. Wartechers can pick between Full Force or Full Fighter. Figunners are in preparation of Full Fighter. But that's it.

Anymore than that and you have to replace certain PAs that a completely opposite job can't use then all that work leveling it goes to waste. Plan ahead and stick to two maybe 3 jobs max on one character.

Just make a 2nd or even a 3rd character if you really want to specialize in different jobs. I will eventually have a Full Force, a Full Ranger, and a Full Fighter from my Wartecher, Guntecher, and Figunner. It doesn't take too much to do 2 characters - esp since your ALT can use your Main's Hand-Me-Downs and S rank missions give such insane MP.
