[Zabrio]

i hope these make it to PSU mainly the demo comet and lavis cannon

[xXTortugaXx]

i agree i want the demolition comet back! PSO weapons FTW

[Tomeeboy]

Hmm... Time to die by my face-melting guitar solo! ;)

[darkante]

Kinda wished that i had a PSP with PSP, seeing all those nice weapons. :/

[W0LB0T]

Why is the Guitar a Saber. everyone knows guitars are axes.

[Darius_Drake]

So I must be the only one who wants that skull sorcerer.

[Darius_Drake]

I feel you. Anga Redda would look so right with that weapon.

[Some Guy]

The Skull sorcerer looks like a kaybalde out of kingdom hearts, they all look cool tho

[darkante]

No, you´re not alone. It looks really neat. :)

[Gobolino]

I loved how demolition comet looks like. I really want that wep but on PSU

[Tetsaru]

I would LOVE to have that Skull Sorceror... and it DOES look like a Keyblade, lol. XD
See, it's these cool, GOOD weapons like these that need to be in PSU, not just in some crappy handheld port. And they need to have special abilities, sound effects, and animations too. If Segac could do it in PSO, then why the hell can't they do it in PSU?

[ThEoRy]

Yeah but is the demolition comet going to have it's old school animation? I doubt it. It used to extend ala monkey king bar while the crystals on the outside would appear and then rip enemies to shreds. We'll prolly get gypped though just like we did with the psycho wand in that regard.

[AkumuSky]

Lavis Cannon?!
wooooo! Do i get the feeling that the Double Cannon might be making a re-appearence?! Dear lord i hope so. Was my favorite weapon from PSO. pain in the butt to make... but it was excellent.

[ANIMEniac]

+10 for trueness

[ANIMEniac]

i spent the last 7 months of my PSO career looking for the Lavis cannon, as much as i am happy to see this, i know that when it hits PSU the hunt will continue

[RubyEclipse]

The Demolition Comet works just like it did in PSO. The crystals remain hidden until you swing. :)

[Tekknight]

I was always partial to the Ancient Saber myself. The look, AND the hidden special ability!

[Kaioken]

When the old Xbox 1st got PSO I'm sure I had to be in the top 10 bracket of players who found the Demolition Comet 1st. My section ID was Redria and it droped off the rare red slime in the Caves 2. EVERYTIME I joined a run people were like, "Holy@$%^ what the heck is that?!!" The Demolition Comet was without a doubt my favorite double saber from PSO (Stag Cutlery being 2nd because of the whole Darth Maul look). It extended when you attacked with it and had a MUCH deeper, darker sound effect like the Crea Doubles do now. I'd like to see these weapons port over to PSU but only if they come back EXACTLY the way they did in PSO.

[VertigoZero]

Aww lavis cannon, I loved that weapon in PSO. Red saber was one of my favs. I would like to have it on the console.
