With too many options there's an awful amount of room to make bad choices:


On PSOBB you'd come across melee FOmarls and FOmars - not quite built for purpose, but they made do even though their ATP was poor.

On PSU you'd get CAST's dabbling with magic even though their MST was over 50% less than a Newman.


You get the same occurances on PSO2 and it does leave me wondering why people do it. To be different? To relish the challenge of having character with awful stats? I can't say that I get it. Perhaps it gets a little boring seeing every force being a Newman or every ranger being a CAST.

Yes you can make it work, and still enjoy the game. But I'd liken it to entering a donkey in the grand national. Yes you'd finish the race, but you'd be going up against purpose bred thoroughbreds who will leave you for dust.
