Although I know that the name of the lowest-grade weapon in a class typically doubles as the name of the class itself, I'd say it should've been expected that the Laser Cannon wouldn't fire a REAL laser.

After all, what're the two next steps up? Maser Cannon and Thunder Cannon. Maser is a logical expansion in focused energy weaponry, but what's the deal with Thunder?

Just like my beloved Machineguns. Back in PSO I was weirded out by the naming scheme including Gatling and Vulcan ... I know Vulcan is a buzzword in sci-fi anime, but in the real world the Vulcan is a product of General Electric and is a Gatling gun itself, which are cannons, not really machineguns.

Or the fact that here in PSU, a Sniper rifle is a very very low grade weapon. (I can't remember, nor can I find sources stating such, whether or not a Sniper was one of the normal rifle weapons you could get in PSO)

Anyway ... yeah. You just kind of have to accept that things in Gurhal--and the online Phantasy Star world in general--don't quite match up to the real world. Photons as treated here are more of a handwavium material than actual light particles anyway ...


Though, if there's one weapon I'd like to see added to PSU, it'd be maces.

Eiiiiither that, or weapons that have been considered in the upper echelons of combat technology these days have been improved upon so much by this time in the future, their power pales in significance to that of the weapons you'd recieve later.

For example, there was a time when a Blunderbuss would have been an I Win button, but nowadays, a common handgun is seen as far more dangerous. The 'power' of the weapon, or rather the perception of it, might have changed with the advent of stronger weaponry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QFT

QFT is a three-letter abbreviation with multiple meanings, as described below:

* quantitative feedback theory.
* quantum field theory, the theory of quantum mechanics for relativistic particles.
* the quantum Fourier transform, a discrete Fourier transform.
* Queen's Film Theatre, a cinema in Northern Ireland.
* "QFT", internet slang meaning "quoted for truth". This term applies on forums and posting boards where users can edit their posts, thus the QFT holds the poster to their original statement. It is also used to express agreement with a previous poster's statement and validate its veracity. ** One variation is "quoted for truthiness," an allusion to the word coined by Stephen Colbert.
* "Quite fucking true" is a bastardisation of the "quoted for truth" definition.

I think most of the weapons people want can already fit into an existing class. There is no reason to have an entire separate hammer class of weapons when it can just be a cool looking axe. What they really need is crazier looking weapons in existing classes. Look at PSO they had the Mace of Adaman but it was under the cane class, the Toy Hammer was considered a Katana etc. What they need is more crazy looking weaponry like the Koltova Bazooka, or that Guitar Case GL. I really think we need to wait for AoI before we start seeing the cool looking weapons people really want.

i say each class gets a little special with the A button!

Cast should roll

Newmans should attack with their Rods and wands

beasts should jump, just high enough to get over badiras and some techniques

and Humans should be able to run a little fast when they hold A!

or mabey Humans and beasts abilities should be switched...

I actually think that's a good idea, but maybe class based?

Melee classes should be able to flip about like Link can when he's in Z-lock (LoZ's lock on), Forces should be able to attack with Rods and wands, and er... Rangers should be able to do a little reload animation that lets them regain a little PP?

1. Quoted for Truth
Has the same usage as Quoted for Emphasis (QFE)

2. Quit Fucking Talking
Sometimes casues confusion as it has the same abbreviation as something that means the exact opposite.

1. "The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them."
"QFT bro."

2. "I'LL FUCK YOU UP BCUZ I'M PRO."
"QFT you scrub bitch."

I definately want a wand slap a la baseball bat in smash bros. Also piercing techs should multihit. As far as weapons Ft's need something like a tome(book) that infflicts 3x damage of base techs in an elemental barrage.

A unit that lets you link different parts of PA's for the same weapon together. It needs to happen.
