Yes. Lore-wise, Adept Rouges are considered a terrible class to play with since you have to level and master each class that you choose separately, and progression is slower than normal. They're essentially a "jack of all trades, master of none" class.

Adept Rogues are meant to be a weaker class in terms of stats, it means nothing as Haseo's stats are a bit different from a normal Adept Rogue as I recall (see Matsu for reference).

As for the original six classes...

Twin Blades became Dual Swords
Blademasters became Blade Brandiers
Heavy Blades/Axeman became Edge Punishers
Long Arms became Lord Partizans
Wavemasters became Harvest Clerics/Warlocks

But true though, Midori might work as the Edge Punisher if they decide not to add BlackRose in. Or Asta, who I always thought was a neat character. I could see him joining up with Haseo when all is said and done.

I always thought Haseo in his second form looked like a Dragoon from the Final Fanrasy series (think Kain or Aranea). I know it won't happen, but it would be sick if Haseo could also use lances. Considering Piros is the only lance user and he's not available until the post-game, having Haseo use a lance would fill that void.

Which classes got cut or renamed from IMOQ? Wavemasters become Harvest Clerics, did anyone else got cut/renamed?
Don't forget in the original Adept Rogues were called Multi-Weapons ^_^

Seems people were limited to what job classes they could choose with a points system incase they gained too much of an advantage over other players http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Adept_Rogue

I'm not too sure, for me adding more connections to the rest of the series would be nice but if it had to be mechanical... would be an improving most of the boss battles. Since having Kite do something than just stand there would be nice.

EDIT: Better yet the music, give me more music

Also on a side note however where's Kuukai in all of this, normally he'd be all over this? Heck with his connections I half expected them to be working with CC2 on this.

Maybe got in too deep and had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, thus inability to participate in the conversation.

I sent him, Sorrow, and a few other people PMs. About half got back to me that they're busy with work but will join us here once they get free time. Nothing from Kuukai, though.

Sorrow knows. We're friends on facebook. Sent him the news the moment it broke out.

:P Yup you are late~

Indeed PS4 or PC, both region free and with both trademarked in the U.S./ Europe it won't matter either way...unless one has a better limited edition should they go that route xD

That Kite novel is really interesting... lots of world-building. Seems Pluto's Kiss was perpetrated by a kid named Warren Block (Brook?), and not Jyotaro Amagi like I had always liked to imagine. :lol: Him and that Randolph character are pretty interesting. I wonder how in-depth this web novel will go.

Knowing CC2's reputation with web novels, though... hopefully this one doesn't take five years to complete. :lol:

Well we did get to see a slight glimpse of Haseo's new form (though he appears to be weilding a Broadsword, so not sure what's happening there since he already has that upgrade)

Also English Trailer already! No lack of localization for us this time! Since that's presumably a new "scream" from Yuri that means he's coming back to the series for voice work as well!

That new outfit also looks really snazzy, I am getting more and more excited about this remaster!

Oh man. This is scary good. They must really be planning on rebooting the series with a new entry after this. It explains the Kite novel as well as the remasters if that's the case. They really want to get as many new people up to date with the series as much as possible for the upcoming project. Somebody fetch MasterZED. I'd love to see him utterly destroy this series again, but in HD!
