The thing that's always bugged me most about PSU

[panzer_unit]

BEASTS!

Where the hell are my mota-people... you know, covered with blue fur, buggy red eyes, I think they had feelers on their head or something... yellow robes, live in junk yards?

I can see why ST didn't go there, you couldn't make those things look slutty no matter how big a pair of boobs you stuck on the front... not a good enough excuse for me tho.

Damn dams were impossible go get through... That green damn was impossible without a guide.

And yeah, Motavians are much better looking than beasts. I don't even see how there's a comparison. They could have at least given beasts better looking nanoblasts. Meh, must have been the fanservice...

Personally, as this is Phantasy Star, I'd have much rather had Motavians than Beasts (although it wouldn't really work with the specific storyline they gave PSU).


Stats would go like this:

Dezolians: Current PSU Newmans stats. Bonuses to fT/AT.
Humans: Well rounded for any job type, with a slight leaning toward TP/MST. Bonuses to GT/WT.
Newmans: Well rounded for any job type, with a slight leaning toward ATA/EVP. Bonuses to AF/WT.
Motavians: Current PSU Beast stats. Bonuses to fF/PT.
CASTs/Androids: No changes needed. Bonuses to fG/FiG.

(Yeah, I'm aware the race/class combo bonuses for Human and Newman overlap. Kind of hard to avoid when trying to use all of 9 classes with 5 races.)



EDIT: Just HAD to vote Green Dam. Damn I hate the dams. It wouldn't have been so bad if Rolf had access to floor plans of mission-related structures, but noooo... the government of Motavia can't do that much for one of their own agents...

I wondered about that aswell, I'd of made a beast when I actually did play if thats what they had looked like. Oh well, one more way to make the whore that is the Phantasy Star franchise make a buck. =]

Mr. "Giant Furby" is a lot cooler to some of us than generic-anime-catperson #9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999..., which is the whole point of this rant topic.

And fuck Motavians, where are my Dezolians? Raja owned hardcore. (Hah, no Dezolian lolis, min height for them would be like six feet. >D)

[rogue_robot]

We didn't forget the Dezolians - Panzer just mentioned Motavians specifically because they fill the same role Beasts currently do. And Dezolians fill the same role Newmans currently do - I want Hunter-oriented Newmans back (which means humans then take a very slight leaning toward techs).

[Nai_Calus]

Since the current PSU newmans are such a goddamned insult to real newmans, I would not at all be opposed to Dezolians coming and taking their role. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif (Granted, Dezolians probably are competent hunters, we should remember that Raja was middle-aged and a priest and that your average Dezolian, who is probably gonna be 6'7ish, is probably not going to be a completely weak pansy like the current newmans.)

[rogue_robot]

Actually, the "enemy" Dezolians from PS1 put me under the impression that Dezolians are better rangers than hunters.

[XCOPY]

man...those things look terrible. The "giant Furby" comment is dead on...that thing looks ridiculous. Yeah, I'm happier with the current beasts. It's odd to me how much hate they get here.

Cat people can be pretty damn cool, as seen here (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/Zorafin/FFXI%20junk/mithra.jpg) and [urlhttp://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/Zorafin/FFXI%20junk/Helmet.jpg]here[/url. Notice, the skin is given a fur-like appearance, the nose is an animal's nose without interupting the beauty of the human face, and the tail is almost expected to be there. Giving someone fuzzy ears and a silly nose does not count. That is, at most, child's anime cat people. Considering they are supposed to be rough and rugged, I wish they'd look more like it.
I find it strange that there's such a huge difference between all the races and casts. We get our own clothing, face types, and hairstyles, but we also get to keep everything that the other races have besides clothing styles that look silly anyway and tans. Considering newmen are supposed to be superior humans, it's not surprising that they look so similar, but you're telling me that splicing DNA with animals only changes the face of a human?

And you'd best not be dissing the Furbies.

I don't really see a difference between your mithra there and beasts in PSU... furry ears, dark nose, whoop-de-doo.

If beasts always looked like their 'blast forms (with clothing) I'd be down with that. I prefer the authentic look of natives of motavia in classic Phantasy Star games though.
