Multi-Weapons

[Gundam_Alchemist]

so is Haseo the only multi-weapon character? how about other npc being multi-weapon? now wavemasters or healers/warlocks aren't weapon holders they are magic exclusive. does haseo being a multi-weapon character also have the ability to carry staff or whatever healers/warlocks carry now? now what about armor?, what a mean is if you played the 1st 4 games there is light, medium and heavy armor; light being used by any class, medium all but wavemasters, and finally heavy being all but wavemasters, twin-blades and long arms. haseo being multi-weapon is he also multi-armor or is he restricted to light and medium armor types?

and this question is off topic but when i saw the trailer there was a TENSION Gauge, what does it do?

[SnowManZero]

you have much to learn young padawan.

we can assume that haseo's not the only multi.

we only know that haseo can have three form's-twin blade,brandish and whatever catagory the skythe falls into.

anything else is more than i know

EDIT:i'm a noob when it comes to spelling

[KrulMagus]

Just to avoid some really bad confusion Snowman. It might be a good idea to replace "skieth" with scythe. There's a BIG difference.

[Aedgoll]

multi weapon is a class now in The World R:2, so Haseo cannot be the only one. He may have some special things which make him different from the rest (like the multi weapon level cap does not apply to him, but this is purely speculation)

[Umbra]

We know for a fact that haseo is not the only Multi-Weapon in The World R:2, however, we are unsure of whether or not we will see any other Multi-Weapons as NPCs, though I do not doubt it.

While Warlocks and Harvests may be Magic-based, they do carry weapons of a sort; Books and Staffs respectively. The only situation I can imagine a Multi-Weapon being incapable of choosing a Class is if they chose to be a Grappler.

While Multi-Weapons may be capable of carrying Books or Staffs, Haseo is incapable of doing so. It seems to me that he chose Twin Sword, Brandish, and Partisan as his Weapon Classes.

We have yet to discover exactly how the Armour system will work in this game. Haseo seems to appear in three different forms, depending on how far his weapon capabilities have progressed.

are the 8 major characters the only ones that can accompany you in the dungeons? its you a multi-weapon, a harvest, 2 steam gunners, a grappler, a warlock, a blade and a danse macabre. in the original games by mutation you had at least two of every class, you have 3 twin blades by the time you fight Innis.

[Umbra]

No, the eight characters you mention are the Infinity Eight and the story of GU will centre around those eight characters.

In the original .hack games, there was a small number of characters, such as Blackrose, Elk, Mia, and Balmung, who were major characters in the plot. Meanwhile, characters such as Sanjuro, Moonstone, Gardenia, and Natsume took a back seat and were simply there for variation.

I do not doubt that this will be the case in GU and that there are a number of other characters that have yet to be revealed as they have no major relevance to the plot.

In .hack//GnU, one of the girls (Anfini OR アンフィニ) looks like Sakubo but a little less of that glamour and she's a multi-weapon.

[Gundam_Alchemist]

good...no back to my 1st question haseo is a twin-blade most of the time right, what i mean is he is he looks like this, then when he changes classes to use a blade he looks like this and finally when he uses his last class the scythe looks like this(well the one in the middle of the page)

[Tsugasa-kun]

no no no no no no!!! a thousand times F***KING NO!!!

Haseo is a Multi class he has three weapons, not three classes THREE WEAPONS!!!!! and it is not he's this most of the time, its he's ALL THREE all the TIME!!!

DOES NO ONE READ THE DAMN SPECULATION THREADS

Haseo is a single Multiweapon Class, not three classes not 2 classes 1 CLASS

As Tsugasa-kun says, Multiweapon is only Multiweapon. He's just able to use three types of weapons. The only tradeoff is that Multiweapons have a lower level cap.

Hmmm. This is something I'd like to hear more about.

In due time.

well Shinsou Wotan translated this months ago from the first magazine




Update function available only to Multiweapon users
Multiweapons have the ability to use 2 or 3 varieties of weapon which they select while creating their character. However, they can't use them all from the beginning. At first, these abilities are sealed. By completing exclusive quests, these abilities are released, and the character's appearance changes. This is the Multiweapon's "Job Extend" ability. ((Translator's note: I predict that in the English release of the game, the ability will be called something along the lines of "Class Extension".))

Haseo, First Form:
In Haseo's case, he chose twin swords as the weapon for his first form. There is nothing particularly unusual about his appearance.

Haseo, Third Form
The weapon he chose for his third form is a large scythe. His appearance is suitable for one called "The Terror of Death".

Haseo Was Once A High-Level Multiweapon
Once, Haseo was a high-level Multiweapon who had achieved his third form, but when he was data drained, he was returned to beginner status.

Okay first Tsugasa-kun calm down, Gundam_Alchemist is new here. Next Al, Haseo's multi-class is just one class. Its just that it allows him to use three different weapons. About him using a magic weapon if Haseo choose the weapons he has before he was DD I would have to guess when he is back to a lower level we could get a chance to pick our own weapons. But that's just a guess.

[Gundam_Alchemist]

ok sorry but why the 3 different apperances if its the same thing? and i guess it was before he got DD even when he had the twin swords his armor/appearance looked the same in all 3 forms

We have no clear answer to why he has different forms. So we'll just have to wait and see.

[Gundam_Alchemist]

could it change when he is angry or going beserk in battle?

[azure_flames]

It seems to me that his changes in armor are due only to the period in which he was playing. If you watch closely during his battle with Tri-Edge, he has the same armor but switches weapons. His appreance armor-wise in the pics then I would assume is due only to a different time frame, not actually switching them in and out randomly in a battle.

That's why his appearance is different.
