Nice! FoTecher inc ;D

The return of Wartecher!

I wouldn't count them as advanced classes so much as alternate classes. It's sort of implied that you'll be able to mix the two as the idea is that you can choose between a hybridized type or a pure "advanced" type

OMFG YES!

Haha if they give weak bullet as a possibility to ppl who sub-class RA, I'll feel like I felt playing GTA with hacks 10 years ago AAAAAAAAAW YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHH

@ Nilok

This would make the most sense, as in, the first 3 starting classes would be the main class, and the sub-classes can be interchangeable. Which means that you can't mix up any of the these beginning classes together. Anyways, if this is true, I can finally use weak bullet, then fight with knuckles by being a Ranger and then sub-classing Fighter. Hopefully that's true.

sooo… GG problem fixed yet?

:O! this sound awesome …. but we will see a lot of weak point lol

well, your opinion is wrong. because the whole point of subclasses is to have the skills of another class.

and if the hunters can apply their own weakbullet, maybe they'll shut up for a little while and acknowledge that the dev team favors their character type.

As long as I have free heal magic, everything else is bonus =p

I will end up leveling all classes anyway…..

Great news ^^

If I can go Fighter/Force… I will be in heaven.

Opinion is the wrong word. You're making a guess or an estimation. Possibly a hypothesis. You couldn't call it an opinion unless you were saying that you didn't think sub classes should have the active skills available to the main class.

Anyway you clearly don't know how weak bullet works. once they switch off of their AR, they lose any other available shots which means they'll have only 15 seconds to do whatever they're going to do and then there will be 2 minutes of cooldown unless they put more than one point into the skill. but then that will only reduce cool down, the switching off part will stay. Now why would you bother doing that when you have an oversaturation of rangers as it is? "I could dump 9 points into a skill that will scarcely benefit me, or I can take a sub that actually compliments my class and style.

Forces may benefit from such a thing, but when you figure that a good Rod boosts T atk by 500-600 points as of NOW, you're taking a serious hit to damage to run around with an AR. Playing with a Ranger in the party is still the preferred method especially since Techers will be giving forces a skill that boosts PP recovery at the cost of HP. When that skill is coupled with PP revival, the benefits of weakness bullet may not seem as important.

Techer will likely be a favored subclass being able to use techs as a hunter or ranger and increase PP regen for increased PA frequency is a much more desirable subset of skills.

Nice news here!

Guess I'll go Fighter as main and Hunter as sub-class for its passives. I LOVE passives and buffs.

So, basically by having a sub-class you gain its skills, PA, weapons potability, but you won't get its base status?

Weapons are drinkable?

does this mean as a ranger i will just gain force skills? or will i loose ranger skills in the process of taking a subclass

gonna keep some client orders so i can spam them the moment the level cap and sub classes release !!

that's why you should do COs that are around the level of that class, like forest normal for lv1, or cave hard for lv 20, etc.

it doesn't cut exp if it's around your level.

*is nowhere to be found… try proofreading next time

@g_k it's a really good game. it's core has quite a large amount of potential. the combat system they created is close to perfection for a game of this type.

but the bosses are all pretty easy if you put a little practice in, and that's arguably one of the only fun things about the game, soloing the bosses.

it's also lacking a lot of content. even though the game went commercial, they basically released the game with half the content it should have been, if it were a console game in the 2000's (i say 2000's, because if it were a console game today, it'd be released the exact same way, but with dlc shit all over it)

the biggest problem is how simple the enemies are. the most entertaining challenge was definitely the humanoid enemy you fight in the tundra story quest that uses sword photon arts against you, and doesn't get knocked down.

i wouldn't judge this game until the final "gigantic multiparty boss" comes out, because that's speculated to be the end game boss, for now. which will be around early 2013.

if the game still proves to disappoint in terms of difficulty and challenge, then i don't think there will be too much hope, but it seems sega is at least attempting to listen to players, so there's moderate chance they'll change things.

that's the best part about the f2p model though. if you don't like it, just don't play, and come back whenever you like. i think it's more brutal than the p2p model for the company, but it also punishes the company so it has a higher chance of changing, if it upsets enough players.

Thanks a lot for answering my question, well, at least to the guy who wasn't white-knighting the game.

capturing a monster, pokemon? try shin megami tensei's idea. and even then, neither game has you catching something for purposes other than your own personal use.

also, the legitimacy of this discussion kinda failed when the nostalgia goggles got put on. PSO1 was… okay, for when it came out. however, it's age REALLY shows, and if you're honestly going to try to tell me that the PSU bloc feels inferior in spite of how much more refined it was… I fear there's nothing to be said because you're probably thinking on par with the people in the sonic fandom who insist that everything since the end of the genesis era has been garbage.

maybe I just look at it with a clearer head because I've no sentimental attachments for PSO1; my first post-quadrilogy phantasy star game was zero, and honestly even it has improvements over PSO1 in spite of calling back to it heavily. I have to take people's words for it about the PSP games being better than straight PSU/I, due to lack of hardware, but my experience with it(PSU/I) I'll likely remember with kinder words than my experience with PSO1. I'll withhold my tirade on that for now.

the two other things that strike me as stupid here are A: complaining about lack of content in a "young" online game that's just been released not even half a year ago in comparison to a full retail product in the era before DLC hell, and B: this idea floating in the community that the main story is going be wrapped up as soon as early next year, as though you all are so wrapped up in the idea that limited content NOW should mean limited content FOREVER.

October… sigh. Hopefully the game will stop feeling like a beta-test soon.
