Cool PSO ideas!

[Sapphire87]

I like the idea of adding more action hotkeys, 6 is not enough. However, it would be nice if you could assign the F keys on your keyboard as extra hotkeys. You could assign all the spells on these keys which would make it very useful for forces. Since spells don't require combos, it would just require one quick tap of the F key with one hand to cast a particular spell without having to put down your controller with the other hand. Another idea that hasn't been mentioned yet is being able to play in 1st person perspective. I'd still prefer 3rd person view but adding this option would be kind of neat and a good change of pace.

Quest creation would be far too much work for Sonic Team to include in one single game, they would have to make a special cd just for the Quest Creator.

For the armors, It would be cool just to see them, or allow an option that would enable you to make your armor visible or not!

For the weapons in town, I wasn't meaning to USE them, but to SEE them in town. Like in Diablo2.

Night/Day cycles is, I think, one of the best ideas. It would be decided by the game creator beat time. And I had another cool idea:
why not adding special temperature effects, that would be seen randomly, like cloudy or foggy days,raining(i know it rains in forest2, but why not on seabed or jungle?),etc

Ok, the summons idea isn't too great, but we definitly need MORE MAGIC! Why ST isn't checking D&D books to see cool magic attacks, or counters, or even bigger combos?


A new class would be welcome, like a fighter that is specialised in close range combat, without weapons, using martial arts that would be unlockable as you gain levels, or maybe archers,dwarfs,etc. On the other hand, it would make PSO fa too much like an Everquest ripoff

Some nice ideas in here... I'm not sure if I'd like armor to appear on my character though. PSO has an advantage in designing characters over most PC RPGs in that you really have a pretty huge selection of colors, clothes and styles for your character. In most PC RPGs, it depends greatly on what armor you're wearing... which is cool, but I think I prefer PSO's good ol' system. And if armor appeared on your character, it'd somehow have to cover all that clothing you're already wearing... = on a FOnewearl, this would be downright bizarre.

well u coulda have your colors on the outside of the armor....or it could go with ur Sect. ID

Mags that come with specially earned abilities usable in battle, alike the SP system in Eternal Arcadia with PB, but doesn't waste all of it. These abilities should be something like, Casting Paralysis as a technique, with very high chances... or maybe cast 3 continuous foies, etc... maybe sacrifice HP to cast Megid, and etc...

They could also be self enhancing... like Androids can cast something like giant trap, where, the range effects triple or they have access to one Rafoie spell.

I wanna jump attack. Like a Delsaber or a Sinow or a Hildewhatever. An' I want to be able to paralyze enemies with techniques. An' I want to be able to bounce techniques back. That could be cool...a rare armor to bounce techniques. Ob Lily spits Megid, boing, boom.

Poisoned weapons...for some reason I don't remember if those already exist...

Hm. More ideas. New classes would be nice, but they'll have to either add a new race or add a new type entirely soon to keep doing those...but before they do that we need HUnewm and HUmarls. For everyone. Not just the exclusive-to-Xbox one, whatever that's going to be.

Adding of new races would be...icky. It's going to raise the question of where they've been all this time, which I suppose is possible to answer if the rumors I've heard about Pioneer III being mentioned in a quest are true...it also carries the possibility of further refuting the idea that the Coralians are Palmans. (Which I dislike, as the evidence in favor of it really doesn't seem to carry that well, in my opinion) If they add new species, and it's like the Motavians or the Dezolians or however that was spelled (I forget) then fuel will be added to the "It's a World Ship!" theory; if not, then...well, I'm sure people will STILL argue that it is, but it won't fuel it directly.

Oh. Direct refuting or confirmation of that particular debate would be nice, too.

This should be an equipable item used in one of your 4 slots. It would be a permannant reasuurance of never having to warp back to P2. Though since it'd be SO DAMN useful it should be used as Lv: 180+ ONLY =P.

Ifrit Fist

stealing teh idea of devil may cry...it would be an arm attachment that makes ur forearm on fire and creat massive damage ^_^ they could also make ice fists and such.

Personally, I'd like to see separate skill trees for various classes. For example, weapon skills with the HU classes, special weapons (not just traps) for cast/caseal races, etc. PSO Ep1&2 did help improve the differences between classes and races, but there's still so much that can be done!

Even though it'd be a bit far fetched due to story reasons, what about other PS races like the Dezolians and Motavians? I wouldn't mind having a beserker Motavian ala Gryz again.

A better weapon curve wouldn't be bad either. While my RAmar, Solid Snake, can use a Sniper now, he's only finding Rifles in the Caves. u.u;

A bigger Pioneer 2? Heck yeah. While it covers all the things needed to function, some extra areas for the sake of making it more city-like couldn't hurt, like bars, or other social hangouts.

A better rare monster system. Perhaps have three levels of monster rarity:common, uncommon, and rare. Commons would be, well...Common, duh. Uncommons would be like your unique monsters in Diablo II, they're tougher, worth more EXP, but aren't likely to give you a super rare item, maybe a few nice recovery items or something.

This would be GC only, but how about just having the pad handle shortcuts, and letting the C-Stick work as a camera control? It'd be nice to be able to alter your perspective to your own liking, perhaps an overhead to see a battle, or zoom out while using the chasecam to watch your back? PSO's camera isn't too bad once you get used to it, but c'mon Sonic Team! It's like Yoda says:Control, control, you must learn control! And in this case, it's Camera Control.

More variety in mags, anyone? Perhaps they could gain offensive abilities for when their user is in danger, or have Photon Blasts that temporarily allow them to launch a barrage of enemies while you attack as well.

More "Set" items, like the Delsaber Buster and Shield. I rather liked how combining the two resulted in a huge stat boost, how about making other equipment that does this?

A use for Photon Drops offline, I hate that they take up space and don't do much for offline players...

Tournament ladder support for Battle mode, this'd be great for setting up a series of one on one tourney bouts!

Manual team setups for Battle mode, just cause sometimes you aren't on the right team...

I'm sure I could think of more, but this post is getting long enough already... ^_^

You know what would be a good Idea?

"PHANTASY STAR ONLINE:THE MOVIE"

(Geez,I almost thought I was talking about StarWars for a minute there,lol)
Anyway,Yeah I know Bad Idea so far I mean cmon People WTF was Resident Evil!?. You call that a freaking movie?. The FIRST RE game was better than that!.I wasnt too happy with that movie.We need someone really good to pull it off,It shouldnt be too hard.But still even if it did suck (Final Fantasy,lol) Id still buy it,and do you know why?,Because Im a (Stupid) But Loyal fan of Phantasy Star *_*

Personally, I'd rather NOT see Dezolians and Motavians included. I wouldn't mind having aliens, but I have serious problems with the theories that the refugees MUST have come from Palma originally. It's a possibility, I suppose, but I feel no real need to have PSO linked up directly with the older PS games--I for one feel it stands up rather nicely without that setup.

A bigger Pioneer 2? Heck yeah. While it covers all the things needed to function, some extra areas for the sake of making it more city-like couldn't hurt, like bars, or other social hangouts.

Hell yeah. Not that a bar would be much use in offline mode, mind you. Even with four active players, it'd feel kind of empty...but in my imaginings of what Pioneer life would be like, I always include a bar frequented by Hunters to discuss their exploits and adventures...it's just the sort of thing that would HAVE to be there, with a society like the Hunter's Guild present.

More "Set" items, like the Delsaber Buster and Shield. I rather liked how combining the two resulted in a huge stat boost, how about making other equipment that does this?

Weren't there some new ones introduced this time around? Not many, I'm sure, but I could have swore I heard something about that.

A use for Photon Drops offline, I hate that they take up space and don't do much for offline players...

Sell 'em. Or don't pick 'em up to begin with. I save mine, on the off chance that someday I'll get online and have a use for them. I think it's good that they have some stuff useful in online quests, to encourage people otherwise content entirely with the offline mode (me, for one) to get online and meet some of the other players, but it WOULD be nice if stuff like that could be dealt with offline as well...

For those that didn't know already, go adventuring in Battle Mode to experience some friendly fire.

Gives it a little 'kick'
