Bah...felt like complaining. :0 If you don't like me going all ";.; lawl, EMO!" skip this post. If your bored, can relate, or whatever. Feel free to read on. Or just read my eighth n' ninth complaint and laugh.
First...my main is a fortegunner Cast and I pretty much exclusively use twin pistols (grenade launcher occasionally to break up groups). As it's my favorite weapon and with them I can pretty much dodge any attack made by an enemy as long as my reaction time's quick enough. But...with this ranking system I'll never be able to use S rank guns unless I decide to make some...magical Cast. Yeah.
Second...while I was fine when I had my group. But when the PSU community started to die eventually they left. Leaving me. For some reason I just can't find any good parties these days. And with my main being a fortegunner. Well, soloing is hard as hell and takes forever. NPCs are useless...as the point of a ranger is attacking at a distance and they pretty much just stand around you while you shoot things. They do...occasionally take a hit for me, though.
Third...what I loved about PSO was the crazy amount of unique weapons they had. In PSU, it seems like there's no special weapons like the Agito (we do have the "replica"...who makes a replica out of a beam!?), Solid Rifles, and ect. Worst of all, I was really hoping for solid shell guns. A pair of bullet firing pistols would make me explode with joy.
Fourth...is it me or rare items harder to get? You have to first find the Rare board (at the moment all you can do with some boards is stare at it). Then the rare items to make it. And then...you only have a slim chance of actually making it. And if you fail. You just wasted a HUGE amount of money and/or time.
Fifth...why is it my most favorite techniques stop evolving after two moves? On my Beast Hunter I seem to rock with the first single dagger technique. The way it allows you to move freely when you attack gives you a tactical advantage if you know how to use it.
Sixth...we may have more customization then PSO. But I've seen more items of clothing on the Japanese Beta test screens then what's out there right now. That and a lot of items seem to be mild tweeks of the same thing right now.
Seventh...I'm a Phantasy Star fan. The lack of nostalgia moments don't give me the occasional splurge of "ZOMG!" which made me love PSO. Dark Falz. Phantasy Star related weaponry. Remade versions of Phantasy Star themes (the best being the redone Phantasy Star II theme that takes place 6:04 in slbgm_wilds..yeah, I'm a geek). PSU feels more like the spinoff of a spinoff. It looks like the Expansion pack's going to have some nostalgia in it...but chances are the boys won't last that long.
Eighth...Laia gets all the credit and I do all the damn work >0!!!!! ALL SHE DOES IS DIE!
Ninth...why can't Laser Cannon's hit multiple damage points?! It's just an overblown slicer that fails at life.
Tenth...Sega's initial plan was to slowly unlock features in order to "simulate" updates. As the PS2 compatibility prevented them from doing any serious updates. If you ask me, all they accomplished was limiting what you can do in a game that feels incomplete in the first place. They should of given us everything and relied on expansion pack discs to give additional content :0.
Yet, despite all the problems I still occasionally play. Though, for whatever reason, it's bittersweet. x.o; I had a pretty tight group and I sorta miss em'. That and I can't find any parties these days. It's either just above my level, way below, or locked. I've considered renewing my subscription (went with the 6th month plan) to see the expansion pack. But even with the content (like the photon whip, a weapon of PSO lore) I have a feeling Sega will either make it exclusive to a class I don't have or for two months all the expansion disc would be good for is a coaster as they'd restrict the content.
