On PSO I had a RAmarl with Lv 20 shifta/deband/resta. Would I want to pick out a hunter or force on PSU instead? I prefer to keep my distance but don't like too much item management/refilling.

You could play FFXI.

Joust is 100% right.

You can multi-class now, but I still haven't found anything that totally explains the exacts of doing so.

On the 360, I guess I didn't think of the PS2 version at all.

Can we have a MMO Jet Force Gemini? I really liked that game.

There are three 'advanced' classes -- same as the base class, except for increased caps on weapon rank and tech. levels. Fortecher (advanced Force) is the exception, as they also gain access to max level bullet arts -- but the only S-rank guns they can use are bows (giving Forces an exclusive ranged weapon is weird, but whatever). Three 'hybrid' classes which merge two classes together, and one special class which is like the hunter/ranger hybrid, except they trade S-rank weapons for max rank traps.

Just from the numbers, Fortecher seems too good. It's the only class with max level techniques and they gain max level bullet arts too, along with a S-rank ranged weapon? WTF?

So it seems like "Wartecher" is the closest to my paladin-type class. Still stupid and convoluted, the whole thing.

Meh, how many sociopathic gun games does one person need? Gears is going to fill that shoot-your-fellow-man-in-the-face niche completely until Lost Planet comes out in January.

I came back from Best Buy today $6.50 poorer, but with a copy of WoW in my hands. I guess I've made my choice.

Now watch me break down and buy PSU and try to juggle them both at once.
