Episode IV released! (56K WARNING!!!)

[ghost_stalker]

Have like a "sniper" mode for rangers where different areas would be more/less effective<br>

<blockquote>That's not true. Their AI is not the same, and they can use Techniques. Big change there.</blockquote> <p>Their attack patterns display the same rotating strategy until they decide to attack. And when the leader of the pack is killed (Gue/Zol) the whole pack is affected. The fact that they were given techs was a small addition, even though they are not "new" techs that have not been seen.<p> <blockquote>The basic one, yes, but there have been improvements. They can use fire and ice weapons now, they don't fall from the roof, can teleport, and have a cloaking device. <br></blockquote> <p>-Fire and Ice? Because Rafoie and Rabarta are so new....<br>-Don't fall from the roof? So how they spawn has changed...yay....<br>-Can teleport? So can the Sinow Beat, except you can see it.<br>-The Sinow Blue can also Cloak itself.<p> <blockquote>Hildebear just jumps if he's far away, and shoots something at you from time to time. As for the rest, he just attacks without stopping. <br>However, Gibbles jumps even when not far away, and can defend (!). <br></blockquote> <p>-Bad example perhaps? But you get the jist of it.<p> <blockquote>Delbiter does other things aside from just attacking. He tries to give you abnormal status. He also runs at you even when not far away. </blockquote> <p>Dark Bringer also gives status effects, such as loss of TP. The dark bringer will run at you from not far away, after he shoots at you. Which by the way he has 3 shots that the Delbiter also has.<p> <blockquote>However, you forgot these guys, with unique AI: <br>-Merillia and its female form <br>-Mericarol <br>-Gi-Gue <br>-Epsilon <br>-Ill Gill <br>-Recobox <br>-Recon <br></blockquote> <p>Is what your saying that we know about every single new enemy in Episode 4? Do you think they have released every bit on information for us to know?<p> <blockquote>In the end though, your arguement doesn't mean much. <br>Why? Because Episode II wasn't sold separately!<br></blockquote> <p>And Episode 4 will be accompanied by 1&2.

With wolves, you could never get damaged if you watched your back. Not so with Gibbons.<br>In Ultimate, they can even use Megid because of that.<br> <blockquote>-Fire and Ice? Because Rafoie and Rabarta are so new....</blockquote><br>The ability to use them is.<br> <blockquote>-Can teleport? So can the Sinow Beat, except you can see it.</blockquote><br>That's not teleporting, that's duplicating, a wholy different manoevre. Being able to see it or not is also a big difference.<br> <blockquote>-The Sinow Blue can also Cloak itself.</blockquote><br>That's not Sinow Beat, but point taken.<br> <blockquote>Dark Bringer also gives status effects, such as loss of TP. The dark bringer will run at you from not far away, after he shoots at you. Which by the way he has 3 shots that the Delbiter also has.</blockquote><br>Draining of TP is not a status effect.<br>The Delbiter doesn't give three shots. It continues until you whack him.<br>Dark Bringer is not Chaos Bringer. And it's part of a set, predictable pattern.<br> <blockquote>Is what your saying that we know about every single new enemy in Episode 4?

You were comparing Episode II to Episode I.<br> <blockquote>And Episode 4 will be accompanied by 1&2.</blockquote><br>That's where you're wrong. Episode IV is sold separately, and you can bet on it that it will also be the case for the English release.

<blockquote>Those are still new abilities that make a difference. With wolves, you could never get damaged if you watched your back. Not so with Gibbons. <br>In Ultimate, they can even use Megid because of that. <br></blockquote> <p>We see this one 2 different ways....<p> <blockquote>The ability to use them is. <br></blockquote> <p>That is true. But whos to say an enemy in Episode 4 wont be able to use Razonde?<p> <blockquote>That's not teleporting, that's duplicating, a wholy different manoevre. Being able to see it or not is also a big difference. <br></blockquote> <p>The beat has a trick where it can slide itself across the floor, much like a seen teleportation. Not like the teleportation in Episode 2 is anything special, as you can see a fine blue mist when they re-locate. So in essence..I don't see it as teleporting.<p> <blockquote>That's not Sinow Beat, but point taken. <br></blockquote> <p>Blue does cloak. Swings twice, jumps back, then cloaks. (Swing twice and jump back is another trait adopted by the Episode 2 Zoas).<p> <blockquote>Draining of TP is not a status effect. <br></blockquote> <p>Perhaps thats based on judgement?<p> <blockquote>The Delbiter doesn't give three shots. It continues until you whack him. </blockquote> <p>That I did not know. %) <p> <blockquote>Dark Bringer is not Chaos Bringer. And it's part of a set, predictable pattern. <br></blockquote> <p>The Delbiter is a pattern as well...perhaps not as justified...but its a pattern.<p> <blockquote>Don't change the subject. You were comparing Episode II to Episode I. <br></blockquote> <p>I am stating examples to show how Episode 4 is being seen wrong along some lines.<p> <blockquote>That's where you're wrong. Episode IV is sold separately, and you can bet on it that it will also be the case for the English release.</blockquote> <p>We'll have to wait and see.

<blockquote>That is true. But whos to say an enemy in Episode 4 wont be able to use Razonde?</blockquote><br>That's not the point...<br> <blockquote>The beat has a trick where it can slide itself across the floor, much like a seen teleportation.</blockquote><br>That's a glitch in PSO Ep I & II, that didn't appear on Dreamcast. What it is actually doing is duplicating itself in multiple images, who all attack together with him. You have to figure out the correct image of him.<br> <blockquote>The Delbiter is a pattern as well...perhaps not as justified...but its a pattern.</blockquote><br>Yes, it's a pattern, but less predictable.

[Mage1]

So then, who is satelite or a Yowee?<p>Are they tough?

[Neo48]

<blockquote>That's not the point... <br></blockquote> <p>Its exactly "one" of the points. Where you have to asked yourself. If an enemy is given a new skin, and a "previously known" attack...is it new or not?<p> <blockquote>That's a glitch in PSO Ep I & II, that didn't appear on Dreamcast. What it is actually doing is duplicating itself in multiple images, who all attack together with him. You have to figure out the correct image of him. <br></blockquote> <p>A glitch eh? That I did not know.<p> <blockquote>So then, who is satelite or a Yowee? <br>Are they tough?<br></blockquote> <p>I would also like this question answered.....

[Benoit]

<blockquote>Its exactly "one" of the points. Where you have to asked yourself. If an enemy is given a new skin, and a "previously known" attack...is it new or not?</blockquote><br>It's all about the combination.<br> <blockquote>So then, who is satelite or a Yowee?</blockquote><br>Guys, read!<br>The Satellite Wolf and the Yowee are monsters of Episode IV.

[Neo48]

<blockquote>It's all about the combination. <br></blockquote> <p>Which I guess is by personal judgement again.<p> <blockquote>Guys, read! <br>The Satellite Wolf and the Yowee are monsters of Episode IV.</blockquote> <p>Haha! I don't even know the names of the monsters :p

[Benoit]

JonathanF's post was quite obvious...

[Neo48]

Guess I just didn't grasp it.....
