Check out this screenshot. This is one of the disk shop screens, listing eight different technique disks that you can purchase. Going from top to bottom we have...

Agdeal
Barta
Rabarta
Defdeal
Zonde
Razonde
Resta
Regene

The two new ones, agdeal and defdeal, are listed as fire- and ice-based techniques respectively. I get the feeling they're not attack techniques, however. Some may recall a couple of consumable items called agtalide and defbalide. Agtalide temporarily increased your ATP like shifta, and defbalide temporarily increased your DEF like deband. Assuming the prefixes used here are meant to reprensent the same thing, perhaps these two new techs are the new names for shifta and deband?

Taking things even further, I wonder if the other consumable items in that category (zodialide, retialide and megistalide) will have castable variations?

EDIT: Changed the subject since now many more than two new techs have been revealed.

cool

[Nisshoku]

That'd be quite interesting if they indeed were. In the terms of Support Techs, we haven't seen much in PSU so far...

[DarK-SuN]

That's definitely very interesting!
Let's see if we learn more about them, and if they really replace Shifta and Deband in PSU, in the following days.

Lol yes we will

EspioKaos you so got me thinking about the possibilities of a full Expert Force having a megistalide buff.

The interesting thing about this (if your speculation is correct-- no offense) is that the support Techs are now distributed by elements. So, if they benefit from that whole "matching elemental Techs" system at all, that means that you can't just slap all your support techs on the same Cane or Staff; you'd have to pair them with your attack Techs as well.

This also throws a monkey wrench into my plans to have two Forces, one who specializes in Fire, Lightning, and Light Techniques, and the other who specializes in Ice, Earth, and Dark Techniques. They may not be able to fully support the party in that case. Well, we'll see what happens when the game comes out, I suppose. Neat find.

Nisshoku just pointed out to me that the image board I found that at had been updated with a few more pics revealing even more techs. Here they are:

One of the -deal tech descriptions is shown, and from that, it looks like I was right about them being support techniques. Zoldeal, the description shown, is an electric-based support technique which temporarily decreases an enemy's accuracy and evasion.
