New Class for Ep. 5: HERO class (discuss and thoughts)

[ralf542]

Hero = Offence based class (Hu/Gu/Fo)
Guardian = Defense based class (Fi/Br/Ra)
Diviner = Support based class (Bo/Su/Te)

Hero + Guardian = Savior
Hero + Diviner = Redeemer
Guardian + Diviner = Angelic

Savior + Redeemer + Angelic = God o.oa

Guard Stance Hero and Limit Break Guardian?

Best defense is to make sure no one is able to damage you meaning killing them first?

Offense is the best defense.

[Moffen]

Yeah if you enjoy thorougly getting 1shot killed by everything or combo'd to death unless you run automate.

Now that we have the Hero class, I demand that the next class we get be Demon Lord! Or Villian! Maybe Mid Boss?

More seriously, the name Guardian has enough history in the PS(U) mythos to be the name of a potential advanced/expert class in future, so I wouldn't put it past Sega to consider using it. I'd like to throw out that they could name the final class something like Esper, and have the older fans kinda fangirl/boy over it.

I think they jumped the gun a little too far naming this class Hero though. Might become a Title Arms Race in future at this rate.

Then why not just lvl 75 and try UQ Amduscia? it also got a main + sub class requirement just at lvl 75 instead of 80 Which also means my question applies to those quests with a main+sub requirements

The lazy way without messing with coding an exception in the game would be a 2nd phantom class in the game data that is automaticaly loaded as subclass for Hero and copy it's level. Let's call it .... "Villain" or "Doppelganger."

Spoiler!

Joke aside, that is what Square-Enix did with the FFXIV's Heavenward expansion when they added new jobs, but without base class.

Oh something just crossed my mind : since Hero can't have subclass, how are you gonna participate as Hero in the rematch quests that require BOTH main and sub class at lvl 80 ?

Maybe the CO to unlock level 80 for Hero will require you to have three level 80s (striking/ranged/technic)

Don't joke like that. Even though I've just about reached that point, there would be riots in akihabara.

I think they want more people to play Hero, not less, so requirements will probably be lower rather than higher. Can fully expect an army of baddies in XH wearing ungrinded unaffixed Luxe / Tagami units swinging around a +0 Revo Sword

[DrCatco]

I just hope that the requirements to unblock the Hero class are by character, not by account. That would be a good restriction to enter the expert blocks.

Doesn't phase me as I got Gunner, Ranger, Hunter to level 80 and Summoner to level 78. BRING IT ON
