[WBMike]

So the blog updated here are my notes

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cool-nanotranser.jpg


Mika: Sayaka Ohara (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1376)

You meet her at the end of chapter 1
You can experience this in the demo


Shizuru: Jun Fukuyama (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=337)

His nanotranser holds his sword, it's pretty cool.
I thought nanotranser were just for clothes oh well..
He has another secret...


Braver: Like a mix of HU, Ra, FO, it's supposed to be versatile.
Customize

At the end of each mission you gain type points
The more type points you have the higher your type level
The higher your type level the more extend points you have.
The higher your type level the more ability slots you get and you can add even more abilities
OH wow..


Type Extend

You will spend your extend points on adding additional weapon categories, and change their weapon grades.
For instance a Force can upgrade to S rank swords, so you pick what weapons you want to upgrade.
Remember you are still limited by photon art cap based on your type.
It will be impossible to place S rank grade on all weapon categories even if you are type level 30.


Ability

These are the "HP boost" (Increase max HP by 50), "PP Boost", "Wild Blast" which costs a certain amount of slots.
You can apply whichever abilities you want because there will be around 100 different types.
You are limited by the amount of slots you have (based on type level) you can increase this by raising your type level.


My Room

You can customize your room just like PSU
There will be room goods from AoI and new ones
You can invite other players in multi player mode into your room.


PMs

The Dragon PM will float around and attack with you
The Retro PM is like a cute little retro robot that attacks with you.
The PMs in PSP1 will also be included.


Demo

Mike covered the demo in his thread (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169805), but remember there will be a drawing on who gets selected for internet multi mode. Good luck!

Nostalgic ROBOT PM ACTION! The Retro PMs are small!

So like this dragon PM attacks floating in the air. Sonic is using the shortcut order "Attack Shift"

Sizzle: Jun Fukuyama (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=337)

His nanotranser holds his sword, it's pretty cool.

Hell yeah its cool! For reference I think any time a character makes a weapon go *whoosh* into their hand, they're pulling it out of their nanotranser.

Anyway, all this stuff is just too cool, so much customization!

(Also, I want all of his swords... all of them.)

[Dragwind]

It's nice to see some models in the game that are hardly used/seen being recycled imo, as odd as that sounds.

[Volcompat321]

That first picture looks awesome. Just awesome.

[Touka]

So Mika's seiyuu is known for the older women/oneechan types,intresting.

Anyone else think the Dragon PM looks ridiculous with Grand Cross?

[Allison_W]

Yep, looks like customization is replacing the litany of hybrid classes, what with the addition of being able to choose our own weapon categories and the retention of stat-value customization.

Now the only things I'm really wondering on that front are whether the stat-value boosts will apply diminishing returns to super-specialization (i.e., ATP boosts being more expensive for Hunters than for Forces, but TP boosts being cheaper for Hunters than for Forces) and whether any of the abilities will allow us to raise PA caps that our class doesn't already get clear through to 30 (I could see an ability that allows a Hunter to raise their bullets or techs to 20 instead of 15, for instance, or a Braver to raise one or two of their PA categories to 25, making sense).

[Arika]

He look like someone who could be a worthy opponent for Adult Arika.
I hope he doesn't get killed by that little girl first.

Leek Wand: Ok that was in PS Zero, and I guess pretty much anything can be a Wand so fine.

Twin Leek Sabers: Alright, at a stretch you could use them to hit people, it probably wouldn't hurt at all, but ok.

Leek Rifle: What is this I dont even... How I shot the Leek?



Hey, lookie whats in that SUPER evolution video!

NiGHTS Madoog ftw!

[landman]

The customization looks very interesting, have they said if you can reset those changes? you should be able to reset to lvl 1 and redo the class again. And I wonder if we are free to change class like in PSU, maintaining the class intact for whenever we want to come back.

FINALLY, may "fortefighter" will have whips and shotguns!! :-D

[Akaimizu]

Ooh. I like the Nights Madoog. Anybody who has seen my PSU room would have an idea of what I think about Nights.

So the blog updated here are my notes

All of the above sounds awesome. Sega are really putting alot of effort into making PSP2 best PSU game ever.

I really like the idea of being able to customise a class so that I can carry what weapons I want to, off the top of my head I can't think of any classes in PSP1 that would alow me to weild S-Rank swords, S-Rank Twin Saber's and S-Rank Rifles.

I wonder, since there are around about 100 different ability slots if there is a PSP2 equivelent of God Battle?

I'm not sure what to make of the Dragon PM's. I was never 100% comfortable watching a miniture maid carrying a sword 3 times her size following my character around. On the other hand The Dragon PM does not look any better. I guess it's still cool that Sega are giving us more options as to what our PM's look like.


By the way, Sizzle looks awesome in the above pic. Shame about his name. WTF!

[redroses]

All this info is so great. I really like the Dragon PM a lot. The Nights madoo is so cute :x
Also, I can't even begin to describe how much I love the customisation. Like that it doesn't even matter that there are only four types to still choose from.
The possibilities seem endless. And I can finally use a S rank whip with a other class than AT, and actually use the whip for attacking! Love it!

[WBMike]

I have to change Shizzle's name ;D

[SubstanceD]

I just clicked on the Oct 13 & 16 Blog update thread and I see that Sizzle's name has changed. Thank god for small miracles, still I'm not sure what his new name is supposed to be, is it Shizuru or Shizzle 'cause Shizzle doesn't sound any better than Sizzle ( Shizzle makes me think of Snoop Dog ) and Shizuru sounds like a girl's name. I guess I should not obssess too much about it, if the name sounds too dodgy then the name might get changed when the game is localised for the west.

[WBMike]

It's SHIZURU, I'm just making a joke :D, but if you say it fast it does come out shizzle.

[Hitoshura]

King of Heroes, do you have enough swords?

[Rei-San]

I hope we can get EVERY One of those epic swords as a usable weapon. :o

I love Shizuru's character even more. I totally want him to fight my Ray (a Samurai with ice powers). Assuming he uses fire, the fight will be epic. :D


He look like someone who could be a worthy opponent for Adult Arika.
I hope he doesn't get killed by that little girl first.


Stand aside Akira, I'm going first!


And that Dragon PM is a cooler version of the normal one. I always wanted it to keep Ray's with it's dragon look, but if I wanted it to fight with me, I have to evolve it. Now I won't have too. :)

This entire thread made me smile. :)
