It's not that I hate the hole Gundam look, Its just I prefer the android look. Why? Well, guess being a Mega Man fan is the most best reason....

White/black Racast looks rad.

I get the feeling these guys play their own game allllll daaayyyy.

I'm only halfway through the video, but any idea what the character with blue hair is? So far I haven't seen a decent close up, but they were wielding a sword and don't seem to have any hunter clothing on that I, at least, don't think I've seen before? Obviously correct me if I'm wrong lol.

Edit: Oh, wow, is that a HUnewm, or a HUnewearl with a new outfit?

Took the words right outta my mouth.

I'd really hope so...otherwise, it'll be terrible.

I wish they got someone else to play the demonstration, though. That girl doesn't show me anything I haven't seen in every single video leaked during the Alpha Test. Female Newman Hunter Loli. Hunewearloli might as well become a new class of it's own.

Anyway, that aside, im kind of underwhelmed at the animation work. At first i thought it was very good, and it is; but the lack of unique animation isn't going to sit well with me. Everyone run, jumps, idles, and seemingly even attacks the exact same. I'm going to blame it on "Alpha", but somehow i doubt they'll put anymore attention into it.

Which is especially unfortunate, seeing how everyone on that alpha seemingly picks the same class anyway...which means there really won't be much of an escape from picking something else, which was one of my main reasons for class hopping on PSO. That would be one hell of a detail of PSO to ignore. It would be amazing if i could be a Humar, in a Fomar outfit, except with Humar animations to boot. Although this won't make a difference at all if Humar and Fomar animations are identical.

I'm sure they'll include the android look too just like PSU did.

which was one of my main reasons for class hopping on PSO.

I'm with you on this one. The different animations not only gave the player a reason to try out different classes but also to try out different weapon types as well. It was great using daggers on a Hucaseal since her animation was not only unique but vastly superior as well. I wouldn't mind seeing some classes specialize in particular weapons the same way forces did with specific tech sets, but this is unlikely.
