Phantasy Star Classes?

Postby Abominae » Thu Apr 30, 2009 4:37 pm

No, not for school.

Character Classes (Jobs, for the FF fans), such as were assigned in PS2 (Rolf - Agent, Nei - Leeching bum, Anna - God knows wtf a Guardian does, etc.)

So if PS were to make more than PSOs Hunter - Ranger - Force, what kind of classes do you think we'd see? Please try to include more than just the name.

I don't really see what you're getting at. Most of the games had a class system. But, if Sega were to take some cues from past games, I suppose they could do worse than starting with PSIV.

PSIV laid them out pretty well, as I recall.
Hunter
Wizard- Never entirely understood this distinction since Rune and Kyra
had similar spells.
Esper Similar to Forces, except they don't suck.
Android- An droid, the droid, whatever.
Scholar- Hahn, Seth, and I guess Hugh would fit the bill, too.
Warrior- For big strapping characters like Odin or Gryz
Priest Raja is basically the only true example of this, isn't he?
Numan (Being unemployed in PSII makes more sense though, yeah?)

Oh, and a Guardian is an agent that tracks down rogue biomonster hunters. In the Japanese version of PSII, she's a "Counter-Hunter". It's been a while since PSII, but doesn't she join in time to fight that Tiem guy?

Well, I can see where this is headed. So, it goes from races: Human (Palmans), Numan, Android, (Motavians?/Dezorian?). For a total of 5 races.

Classes: Hunter, Wizard, Warrior, Priest, Force, Scholar, Guardian, Esper... Man, this really doesn't leave much room for work.

Well, since you want to get technical about it, there's also: Agent, Soldier, Doctor, Biologist, Wrecker, Thief, "Systems Controller"?

I think these were meant to be more of a "what I do as a career" rather than combatant title.

I'm gonna have a lot of work cut out for me... :cry:

I'm just interested to know... but why would agents track biomonster hunters?

Only the ones that went rogue, aka not following any standard guidelines that have been set up or making decisions outside of the normal for group.

So umm... what does an agent do?

And if that IS the guardians job, that leaves a nice big loop-hole for why-the-hell did she come to the party in the first place with the party having no biomonster as any particular objective. Does this mean that Anna and whomever else she was working with knew about niefirst?
