new Character Creation video! + more!!

[Saner2]

whoa!!! that's incredible!!!! O_O<p>http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=7714&type=wmv<p>just saw the movie. whoo hoo!!! this will rule! <p>you know I was amazed that players can dance now. lol! that looked pretty cute. <p>not sure about those animated portrait expressions though. hopefully people dont abuse those if everyone can see them. there must be some catch to triggering them, cause I dont see what purpose they are used for. <p>wow the rooms look even better in motion than screenshot (of course). and those new 'mags' look pretty spiffy. but man, I would preferred if we didnt depend a % of our stats to some flying machine. ack. this probably means we have to feed them like the mags and stuff. <p>ah well. it sure beats the tedious job system in FF11. It was annoying going back to level 1 at least two times. once to level your subjob. and again to level your advanced job!! *throws FF11 out window*<p>they say lobbies are in all planets and Guardians' Colony too. and each lobby has 4 sections, I forgot what they were but they are basically floors. one of them was a transportation floor I think. and all lobbies have escalators and real-time elevators!!! drool!! (well of course you knew that. <p>http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=7714&type=wmv<p>

This is really shaping up to be the game of my dreams !!! haha I can't wait to get online with this !!!

[Saner2]

hopefully the human females can wear leotards. I wanna make Mieu. ^_^ although I would have to make her 'human' because in PSIII cyborgs can use techniques, whereas in PSU Casts dont have TP I think plus they dont appear as human as Mieu-types do. <p>

[Lord Khyron]

Please.. Casts look Human!<p>There is even a CAST that looks human. Her name is LOU.<p>Lou <p>Sex: female (appearance) Race: Cast <br>Age: unknown affiliation: guardians <p>Part of the guardians synthetic investigation department. Her body is specially equipped, unlike your general guardian, to undergo spy missions as well. She is controlled in a way to not show an excess amount of emotions but is this because of the special missions she undertakes? She frequently shows up to give Ethan various information but it seems like she holds even more secrets that aren’t that she doesn’t reveal… <p>With all your fanaticism Saner, you missed this point? There is even another human looking one with the little boy!

[Neo48]

They should look human, the more advancements there are, the more they will look human. Thats the ever traveling trail of technology....<p>They could incorporate this idea into games? Thats a great thing, it adds more substance of the real world. Do you think the robots of our world will always be dumbfounded, blockish, camera dependent, slow moving creations? Don't think so...

[Saner2]

nah . Casts like Norphe, while have human appearance, still dont look 100% human like Mieu does. <p>I dont like the 'horns' on Norphe, or the pale place with those whatchamacallits. <p>Mieu is cool cause although she's a machine on the inside she looks totally human on the outside but at the sametime her technology offers the advantages of a machine whole laso being able to use Techniques with good skill!!!!<p>Casts in PSU will unlikely use techniques at all or be pretty poor using them. <p><b>it's all about role playing. I could make a human and pretend its a cyborg, so there. </b>

[Lord Khyron]

I'm talking about LOU with no horns.<p>Did we forget that detail?<p>You can see her on the char page, she has no horns and looks VERY HUMAN. <p>I hate having to show proof that someone could just go look for..<p><p>OMG! Does that look Human to you?<p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1127365252[/TIME]][/size]

[Neo48]

It does look human...which is the whole point of technological advancement. Its the goals that humans have been trying to reach, to make androids look human. Its the goal that our own world would try to reach one day.

[Lord Khyron]

Yet Saner says that Casts can't look human in PSU..<p>

[Parn]

In video footage, Lou's face has two distinct lines going through it, giving her something of a doll-like appearance.

[Saner2]

yeah that's right. Lou's face is just like Norphe's. their faces are not 100% human looking. their faces still feel like masks because of those 2 lines. <p>but anyways Mieu excels in techniques and Casts as we know either cant use techniques or are not that good with them. <p>so I would rather just role play a human as a cyborg. <br>but first hehe I would need Mieu's leotard or at least something similiar. ah well, we'll see.

[Lord Khyron]

That video footage is also grainy and done with a bad compression ratio.

[Parn]

So what? Here's a screengrab from a version of the video that wasn't compressed to death:<br><img src='http://members.cox.net/jasonwalton/lou.jpg'>

[Saner2]

aaaah. see. those lines would look good on a Wren model. but on a female, that's unacceptable =P <p>anyways Im still sticking with my human}cyborg idea. now I just wonder if the costumes includes a leotard somewhere. or lets me combine shirt and legs clothes type to form a leotard looking costume. <p>

[Neo48]

Personally, I think Lou is a bad designed Cast. Magashi is much better, he really has that "Kireek" feel to him, don't you think? Lou in my opinion looks like a Fonewearl, all strangely dressed with make-up. <p>It just seems uncreative, so I agree that Lou is not a very good character design. But Magashi was very well created to follow the footsteps of old androids.
