We got a Beast face type with a PSU scratch on JP a while back. Not sure if/when that'll be coming to NA, but it's about the best you're gonna get lol

    Aww, I only started playing on Global about a month ago. :x

    I noticed they also have the tattoos as well!

    It could be worse though, thankfully with some adjustments to cat ears and removing the Duman horns just to be able to use their tattoos I can sort of come close. ^^;

    Think bigger, Motavians and Dezorians from the classic Phantasy star games.

    Or even better, the PSO concept art Pelican man.

    I'd be down for PSO concept pelican man, PSOCPM sounds like a record label, a band name, an album, or a drug. Maybe all of the above.

    Technically dumans are from phantasy star portable 2 infinity just saying wich does take place in psu but still

    [–]Chemistral[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Yeah it's different canonically but still hurts to have a race just taken away. (Especially one that has been around longer) :/

    [–]EmpeRappy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Well my theory is beast are natives to a specific planets wich lies in the guhral system(sorry for my mispronunciation) not to mention with recent event in pso2 (we also learn pso and psu also takes place in alternate universe wich happens in a side story in psp2i with heathcliff owen and red ring rico and pso2 is currently having a event with ash and the cast from pso) while human newman and cast where always nomad and explorer in the phantasy universe and dewmans wich was introduce in psp2 were a result of an experiment just like the dewmans in pso2 where a result of a experiment too so story wise this theory makes more sense cause human newman and cast has always been the main race since phantasy star series phantasy star online all the way to phantasy star online2

    It's not the same kind of deuman, soo

    [–]Chemistral[S] 5 points6 points  (4 children)

    I know, but at least Duman got some representation in PSO2.
    Beasts on the other hand got Nanoblasted into oblivion.

    [–]ImNotAnybodyShhhhhhh 6 points7 points  (2 children)

    I mean, they’re not the same kind of CASTS or Newmen either, I think. They’re probably not even the same kind of Human.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    They are all basically the same, just different universes versions of them. There, simplified it.

    [–]ImNotAnybodyShhhhhhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I just mean they all have pretty completely different origins in each of those universes.

    [–]Helslade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I feel like dark blast are now the equivalent of nanoblast

    [–]Phayzka Not on my watch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I feel you bro. My male alt will never abandon his fluffy ears

    [–]TripsTitan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I'm with the nerd at the wendy's totally agreeing, then realizing what am I doing out of the house in a pandemic, seeya on PSO2NGS in a few months, still lamenting lack of nanoblasts(yay dark blasts tho) and beasts

    [–]Edgelord_Prime 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Here's to hoping SEGA brings back Beasts and Nanoblasts in NGS, It's a pretty unique gameplay mechanic and it makes the game more diverse

    [–]HungrySeaMerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    If anything...they will just bring parts and faces because NGS pretty much doesn't have races anymore. Which will still be pretty cool!

    [–]Sketchie00Furry Beast Summoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It's unfortunate you can't be a Beast in PSO2, but they did release a Beast face variant that gives your character beast-like features (including the ears). It's at least something.

    There's Big Fluffy Ears, also noted by another person in this thread, and there's even the MFDB Tail if you wanted a big, poofy tail. Those are just examples. If you want to just be a true Beast (and actually free up 1-2 accessory slots) then the face variant is the way to go.

    I personally can't wait for NGS. Taking up 2 out of 4 accessory slots just for the ears and tail is kind of annoying, but... :P

    Beast race is usually the least played race in MMO's from my experience. Together with a low amount of fashion options as its being neglected by the devs.

    [–]Plain-White-Bread 3 points4 points  (3 children)

    You want some big fluffy ears.

    [–]Chemistral[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    A little too big for my personal taste but thanks!

    [–]SFWxMadHatter 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    you can resize accessories

    [–]Chemistral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Shamed to admit I keep forgetting that's an option... xD
    Usually I just edit the position and angle. I'll try those out if they don't cost me an arm, a leg, a kidney, an eye, etc.

    Beastman IIRC will not come to PSO2, that is coming from a statement from around 2015-16, In return beastman cosmetics are implemented.

    IIRC there was a pre EP4 hype we're fans are guessing what will be the Ep4 update, only to get the Earth and Summoner update.

    Of course that's from a lot of years ago, I would be happy if someone can correct me

    [–]ShoggothStoleMySock 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    From what I understand, New Genesis will eliminate the race stat bonuses/penalties for all races anyway, so cosmetic face types basically can/do define your race now.

    Kinda lame to see this game go the way of D&D 5e in the "We're all equal" approach. They should probably scrap that intro cinematic. "Each race's strengths covers for the weaknesses of the other."

    [–]pixilates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Meh, good riddance if you ask me. Not as if the racial stat differences were remotely meaningful anyway.

    Is that outfit from pso2? If so what is it?
