I wanna make a Force, probably FOnewm (because everyone seems to use fomar, and i dont wanna be a drag queen and get my items HANDED to me like some guys *cough* *cough*) anyway, is a force really worth it? I know they are fun but when you get to hard through ult. mode, the bad guys have immunites toward certain spells, i.e. The yellow diminains are weak against ice but the pruple ones are week against thunder. WHen i played pso for dreamcast i remember even though my fonewm was top of the line, his tp drained like a bit*h. I never played version 2. HOw are these lvl 30 disks like? WHen you use a lvl 30 magic is the magic cast rate HELLA fast? Do they do serious damage? I also have second doubt about makin a force because thier weapons dont look as cool as a twin blaze, or guld milla. Can i also presume that Forces suck in battle mode as well? IT also does suck to rely on someone to HEAL you after Dark falz does his stupid cheap grants attack and kills you in one hit. If anyone can back these statements up, please do.

Once you get his MST and tech levels high enough, a FOnewm can do massive damage, easily clearing most rooms faster than a HU or RA can.

The downside is that like other FOrces, you'll get smacked around in boss battle, often dying with one hit early on.

It'll also take you a while to build up your character.

While certain areas have enemies that have the same elemental weakness, a lot of area do not or have enemies that have high elemental defense (mostly confined to Episode II CCA & Seabed)

As for Battle mode, FOnewm can handle his own... but, once again, HUmar seems to be king of battle mode.

you'll eventually learn the weaknesses of monsters and bosses eventually...the only downside to a fo is (well,for a FOmar) low defense, hp, and quick tp drainage...but if u master a fo, you pretty much mastered PSO itself

Best thing to do:

Make a mind mag w/ about 170 mind.
Save up 15+ discs you find
Get 125 HP Mats
Get as many mind mats as you can (find your characters mat-limit). I recommend 45 luck & the rest mind, as Force's DEF is low, and preventing critical hits helps.... you'll max your Mind around 120 if you've got a mind mag as well, btw.

With all the things above, you can fly through normal offline in one run, although you'll need a few dolls for DF (God/HP or even a couple of Dragon/HPs will help).

By then, you're level 18 or so
Do the same on hard (again, you'll need Dolls for DF)

By now, you're level 35 or so
Do it again on VH (a few more dolls for DF)
By now, you're level 45-50.

Now clear the first Ultimate Forrest and first 3 quests, then do the Addicting Food quest about 20 times. That'll get you up to level 70 in just a few days.... you can actually get to Ultimate under level 50 in about 10 hours I'd say.

Good luck.

Have you ever been level 30 Shifta and debanded while the enemies got 30 Jellen and Jallure? I was in ult mines and they only gave me 10 points of damage as I was killing them in 1.5 combos.

blah, i'm a prue HUcast nut myself, never really saw the advantages of magic that much, haveing great HP,Attack, and defence really appealed to me but two eats his own

Hey. My Fomarl don't suck. I don't like to play multi mode with her because all my friends use Hu and every time I kill a monster from a long distance they go and get the items! I have to buy a lot of fluids so I get out of meseta easly. I don't recomend them for multi mode. But single mode, I just love killing 8 evil shark with only 4 Rafoies!

[Bloodberry]

It really helps if you know some people to run around with, that way you can at least get meseta and if they find some force specials they'll let you have them. Unfortunately the majority of players won't care what special it is, only that they can trade it.

With a single Foie spell, my level 81 FOnewearl can inflict 730 points of damage to a Gillchic in Ultimate Mines. She even doesn't need to move, she just raises her tiny hand.

Can/could your HUcast, at the same level, playing the same difficult, inflict the same amout of damage? I doubt.

I can tell you that my lvl 93 FOnewearl rules ultimate.
True, FO does get smacked around a lot, but there is nothing better that watching that "Atom Bomb" destroy a whole room of enemies.
I will admit I am legit, which makes it hard, but some of the weapons ARE cool looking, just hard to find, especially if you play multi, people are not nice to FO, think of us as "Glory Hogs", but i'm sure you would love a lvl 30 s/d.
Try it out, you may like it, not too many people stick with it though. Find friends that don't mind mass destruction at a very fast pace.
