Icons of future weapons and units

The reskins are going to be full-fledged separate weapons. SEGA's laziness knows no bounds, as all the reskins in PSU have shown us.

You're being dumb about this. SOA has reskins but it was exactly the same weapon model. PSO2 now atleast changes the color. Which some weapons look x10 better a different color anyways.


Also, sword users might like this.

I'm fine with recoloured weapons in PSO2, as long as there's also proper new weapons as well.
Also, so far recolours usually mean stronger versions of weaker weapons, which in some cases means being able to use possibly nice looking weapons with actually decent stats, instead of some weapon that may look nice only having weak stats.

Hey, at least they actually change parts of the model alongside the color.

(This is in stark contrast to the original PSO where they really were just straight-up recolors all the way!)

But 'laziness' is a bit harsh anyways, there are multiple reasons to use recolors wherever possible. It increases visual variety for very little cost (cost being a big factor here), it allows them to prevent old weapon models from being completely deprecated as the level cap rises, and it creates a palpable sense of advancement as you see the same weapons getting more powerful variations.

Outside of adding a method to re-skin weapons, it's the best way to re-use weapon models that people enjoy but have stats that are too weak to be viable.

Edit: I see I was ninja'd here. Twice. Oh, well!

All of this was datamined by Agrajag.


Also, I don't see a problem with the same weapon models and a different color.

Red weapons, awesome!

Although,
It'd be cool if they made them the same models as the Red series from PSO. But, oh well.
Red weapons, still cool.

Incorrect, but even if you were right, you'd still be way ahead of me, and everyone else, in that respect.

SOA? No, it was PSU in general. It's just that JP PSU had a lot more weapons to choose from, so it seems like a more moot point there.

Also, I'm talking about enemies as well. Unless you're going to foolishly deny that, too.

[Golto]

I guess with the weapon hidden abilites all these reskins can spread out the different abilities.

I don't see Guld Millas, making this very useless.

Though we're talking about weapons and units, not enemies.
