I'm not defending other decisions they made, because they made plenty of stupid ones.
The JP BB servers shut down in early 2007 and there were definitely games that allowed respeccing at that point (Titan Quest comes to mind), but it still wasn't an incredibly common practice.
Seeing as Blue...
This is not a valid argument.
If you can name me a game from 2000/2001 that allows you to respec, I'd love to hear it.
Baldur's Gate 1/2 doesn't, Diablo 1/2 doesn't, Planescape Torment doesn't, Divine Divinity doesn't, Arcanum doesn't, Gothic doesn't, Sacred (2004) doesn't, the list goes on...
Does that mean there's even less reason to use anything but male CAST or FO now?
Also, what is the reasoning behind removing classic entirely? I don't care for it personally but I'm sure there's people that are purist enough to want to play that way. Even if it's just changed so PSO2 mode is...
Hey,
I'd greatly appreciate the following:
Cladding of Epsilon x1
De Rol Le Shell x1
Kit of Sega Saturn x1
Launcher [Spirit] [0/0/0/0|55]
Holy Ray [0/20/20/0|0]
My in game name is Zaraxys (with 3 spaces, I think).
