Why I believe the 3 new classes are simply upgraded versions (PART 2)

[Dinosaur]

Notice how the word "change" is used. If you're picking up a sub class...why would you "change" to it? A sub-class as you define it would simply mean tacking on the abilities of a second class, correct?

That's true but I couldn't imagine Hunter being without Step Attack and Just Guard(or RA without Weak Bullet, FO without Charge PP Revival).

Perhaps stronger alternatives are provided in the new trees? Or your advance class retains a skill tree from your base class? The former is still hard to imagine. The latter seems more likely, but at this rate, who knows...

[Renzer]

I think they are just advance classes too, and even though starting at level 1 is going to be a drag, I'll probably end up switching to the advance ranger class anyway. I just hope SEGA adds low level versions of their new weapons they are implementing to make the new class change worth while.

[TheAstarion]

It's likely that both subclass and flavoured classes will be available concurrently. Someone would be able to make their own pure advanced class by mixing the two with the same root, or futz around creating hybrids.

A Wartecher in PSU could be emulated with any combination of Fighter or Hunter, and Force or Techer. So, Huntecher, Hunterforce, Fightecher, Fighterforce, Forcefighter, Forcehunter, Techfighter and Techunter are all combos that hit the prerequisites... but will all play differently.

For pures you just have Rangegunner and Gunranger, for instance. That's more clear-cut, do you want to stick with your weak bullet specialisation and have gunner weapons merely available, or do you want to specialise in your new gunner weapons and keep the ranger weapons as backup?

I can see hybrids using the unlockable classes as being slightly more powerful in the long run. And there's room in the data for even more classes; specialists for speedy attacks, item usage, or status effect abuse would be great subs, even if they were strictly sub-only. The system is already an interesting framework, I'm excited to see what they can do with it.

I really have no idea at this point. Between having the fill in the blank, and the wording of Sakai's blog post (assuming that was translated correctly), it could go either way. :/

Still: better to sit back and wait it out.

[Xaton]

hmms how about this prestige class just like dnd. yeesh or freaking multi class sounds more liek the dnd style you level up base class fighter then prestige into weaponmaster or what ever.

[Angelo]

To be honest, from his description it doesn't sound like sub classes.

The fact the he cock-teased us with "_ブ_ラス" is kind of a dick move on his part.

The be more specific the hint is closer to being _ _ B _ _ R/L A S S

'the fuck else could it mean? Tube Grass? Noob Harass? Boob Glass? Love Plus?

[Kondibon]

I still believe there's going to be a subclass system at some point. But as I've said before, these don't have to be them.

[Kylie]

Well-played.

I feel like shit for planning my Mag to be a hybrid.

Oh no, Kylie, keep on keeping on because, chile, sub-classes are coming!

Yeah, no.

I think they *might* come anyway, but I don't care at this point.

It seems like people are too tangled up in thinking Subclasses will be specificity subclasses, not that a subclass is a "normal" class you sub with.

Yeah, at this point I am hoping this. Would add so many more options than just allowing Fighter, Techer, and Gunner as Subclasses. Personally, I'd prefer to Main Techer and sub Hunter, that is, if Techer turns out to be what I think it might.
