This will be the first official info on the old job balance change along with guest from Quell(One of the contestent from the PSO2 tournament)
And future update info~

Also if they have time, they will answer player question submitted through tiwtter with the ＃PSO2質問 tag

Now that more awake, and rewatching KMR part with more etail


Movement related
- Increase the range of Meelee weapon step - Will have the same range as HR, but the same time and same invincibility time

- Step Attack homing improved

- Movement type PA increase range, will mainly improve PA time, Speed improvement, Il-Zonde tech and other tech will be the same

- Rolling(Shooting job) can use Step-jump ring

- Mirage dash Range and "turning" improve (TheTe buff?)

Basic Damage up
-Normal damage rate increase (Hr normal hit is almost as strong as it's PA, unlike old job, in which PA deal majority of damage)
- Hit Pause*The pause when a hit connect* decreased to make attack faster
-PP recovery increase from attacking
- Increase damage of some PA

And the specific of what KMR said is as follow

The planned change is to make the old job control smoother, even after all the balance change, it wouldn't be as easy and strong as Hr(Most Jp player don't really like KMR for this reason, since he's supposed to be here to elevate player concern)
Regarding buffing old job, we'll take player concern into consideration after this balance change(Late october) and decide whether to buff them some more to decrease the distance between old job and advance job.

Although the current Buster Quest is geared toward Hr, but we believe after the implement of the late october update(Balance and new quest?) the situation of HR #1 will be alievated, although only after one month, we see the situation of everyong nearly going Hr, but that should only be a phase in the 5/10 year total game plan.

The goal for Hero was to be strong and fun to control is our plan for Ep.5, we were worried if it was not strong enough, it won't get player interest, in the past, when new job was introduced, player flocked toward it, we believe the HR situation to be the same.

IMO~~
KMR way of talking is kind of not serious, and say what is on his mind, which some player don't like, since they feel not being taken seriously~ Most viewer on niconico and ingame felt Hamazaki should have done most of the talking

HR is fun, to play and control, but IMO~ shouldn't have been the only advanced class, even for a fantasy setting, it should have been 3, one for each Attack type focused. having even one more, would have alievated alot of player complaint, since now most people feel forced to play Hr to compete in current content.
-Increase damage of some PA
