    Default Site Updated 11/14 - All classes info revealed, and more...

    Look like this game is more "logical" than the old PSO.
    1.- Women always have more MST, ATA, EVP than men.
    2.- Men have more POW, DEF and HP
    3.- Cast have more ATA than Humans (of the same profession, that is) again

    TOPS
    HP: HUcast
    TP: FOnewearl(?)
    ATP: HUcast
    DFP: RAcast(?)
    MST: FOnewearl
    ATA: Racaseal
    EVP: HUnewearl

    HUmarl: Lower ATP than the HUmar, compensated with more ATA/EVP. Able to use techniques, an all-purpose character.
    Hunewm: Low HP/DFP, but his excellent EVP/MST make him an expert on close/long range combat.
    HUnewearl: Possesses the highest EVP, and is able to handle both close combat and techniques equally.
    HUcast: An expert at close range combat, possesses the highest ATP/HP, but he is unable to use techniques.
    HUcaseal: Top class ATP/DFP, possesses every ability necessary for close range combat. Can't use techniques.

    RAmar: Mainly uses gun-type weapons, has high ATA that helps him not to miss. Able to handle some techniques.
    RAmarl: Her specialty are gun-type weapons. Top class ATA, she's able to use some techniques.
    RAcast: ATP/DFP grow at a balanced rate, top class ATA, Unable to use techniques.

    Hmm, so non-forces can use techs, but they need to have a weapon equipped that allows for it? Interesting, this supports the idea then that we could have weapons that arent wands and staffs with tech-link capabilities.

    Thats what that means to me at least, their is of course another possibility though.


    Perhaps this time around, their are no weapon restrictions. My reasoning behind it? We've already seen a video of a HUmar using a launcher weapon (unprecedented mind you, in neither PSO or PSU can hunter classes use launchers) and the only "tech-linkable" weapons that we can confirm are staff's and wands. Maybe slicers (they are after all "force weapons" now).


    Who knows, just throwing this stuff out there.

    The Inferno Bazooka disagrees.

    Though you do bring up a good point - we haven't seen anything about weapon types being restricted by class, we've just seen the class and weapon pairings shown to us via press releases, which does include things such as Hunters using Wands and Launchers - things that clearly don't fit inot the whole "I'm a Melee Guy" sort of thing - and the "weapon classification" chart that just lumps weapon types into categories based on how they work.

    ...It'd be a bit weird to see a FOnewearl running around with a Sword or Spear, though.

    ProTip: To damage your credibility, simply call any of the Phantasy Star games "massively-multiplayer."

    I like the sound of that. I hope HUcaseals still have the most ATA out of all the Hunters, that would just be sweet.

    Incidently, you are right. PS Zero seems to be alot more logical than PSO ever was. I never understood why HUnewearls had more DEF than HUmars especially since Newmans weren't well known for the Physical strength or Endurance.

    Edit

    I just re-read the opening post and Casts apparently do have more ATA than thier fleshy counter parts. Still, I won't be 100% staisfied unless HUcaseals have more ATA than HUcasts.

    I guess it wouldn't be FOnewm if it didn't have absolutely ridiculous outfits. =P

    The HUnewm looks a little...lamer than I thought he would, but overall, I do like the designs. ^_^ I am pretty excited for this game. =D

    I just hope the stats aren't too different between genders, or if they are, they're different enough to actually change something.
