New Weapon Information

Please think about this for a moment

wouldnt 2 weapons make PSU much more easier to play? why because you can essentially attacking pure flying monsters and ground monsters at the same time without the usually effort of swapping inbetween each weapon like with PSO

could you imagine fighting say Olga flow in the elevator and not having to switch weapons for the entire level because you have the basic gun and sword combo

not that im complaining or whatever, i just wanted a challenge with just one weapon not two,

Dang, this game seems to get better and better... and better!

I can't wait!

I am officially not playing PSU.

That's the most incredibly freaking stupid thing ever. -_-; 'lawl no techs unless j00 use this kind of weapon!111'

It also basically removes the possibility of a proper battle mage. XP

...Also, just to be anal. Shouldn't Rod-types and all vaguely related staff-type weapons be two-handed? >_> YOU try fighting with a five-foot-long stick, using one hand to weild the thing. >_>

Yes you're playing. While I must say that the whole have to hold a staff thing sounds absolutely retarded, there is just too much other cool stuff.... too much...

offtopic but i dont suppose you could get me unblocked from dothackers could you? david blocked me after objecting to his 100+ posts he deleted, and me telling people not to bother posting on said thread, funnily enough he blocked me after he made his big statement so i couldnt reply to it - blue023

You know, last night I got to thinking about the NON-Force-type end of things, and came up with the following scenario:

"Ah, crap, I'm out of mates and I need to heal and I'm surrounded by a billion enemies/it's a big boss battle. Where'd I stick that blasted Cane +2?"

Think about that for a second. So... What's the point of playing a human/newman hunter-type? Since it seems that you can either use techs or smack things and not do both at the same time, apparently, why don't we all just make androids to begin with and get it over with? 9_9

I mean, imagine that there you are in PSO with your HUnewearl. Hey, it's awesome, right, there's your Shifta, your Deband, your Jellen, your Zalure, your Resta, your Anti... Except you have to carry a Cane +2 with you everywhere, and you have to switch to it every time you want to use a tech. And then you FSOD with the Cane equipped instead of your 1337 uber-rare Sword. There you are in the middle of a big battle, and you need to heal NOW. Whoops, no mates. Well, there's Resta... That you need to switch weapons for, which takes precious time. Every time a new wave of enemies spawns, you need to change weapons so you can cast Jellen and Zalure on them...

So... Why, exactly, are you even bothering with your HUnewearl when it's that annoying to do anything with her that takes advantage of her strengths? >_>

I'm sorry. It's just not well thought-out. Also goes counter to every system I've ever used in any other game for magic/techniques. Like the MUD I used to play on, where sure, you go right ahead and give your Mage a nice Knife so you can still fight when you run out of mana. Oh and look, you don't suddenly forget all the spells you've learned and trained. Or FFVI's system where sure, Cyan uses swords, but you can go right ahead and give him Espers and he'll learn the spells from them, and wow, he won't forget how to use them when you equip that Esper to someone else. Hey look, Chaz knows Res! And he can use it, too, nevermind that he uses a sword!

I'll give them that they're sure trying to encourage teamplay by making sure anyone trying to solo has as obnoxious a time about it as possible... XP Or maybe I'm just spoiled by my FOmar's ability to simultaneously nuke things, support the team, AND smack them senseless, all without switching weapons or worrying about their type. XP

I mean what, you put your Cane down and all of a sudden you don't remember how to cast Foie? Uhh... Okay. What is this, Materia in FFVII? Wasn't the point of techniques to be something that you could use without any special ability or training in the first place? >_>

Yeah, a limit like that can make sense, but it depends on what kind of limit, and on what. Like, say, Phantasy Star IV. Rune, for example, uses Rods. They're two-handed. You can use them, or you can have him use two shields instead. Now, if you've got him using two shields, he can't attack physically, which makes perfect sense - I mean, it's not like he's going to be beating monsters to death with his bare hands. But oh look, he doesn't just suddenly forget how to use techniques and magic simply because he's not using a weapon. >_>

A vaguely sensible magic system is crucial to any RPG. From the sounds of it so far, this... Isn't particularily sensible. Then again, PSO wasn't particularily sensible with its technique system, so I guess this is just the logical continuation of it.

what? im not rambling

notice that you yourself posted on a thread on the dothackers.net main forum saying theorys and opinions we both discussed, which you happened to put into your article written AFTER the comments were made
