Class Of Heroes 2 Class Requirements

Most notable is the succinctness and autonomy Class of Heroes 2 exhibits: the menu-driven system shirks the need to traipse around towns instigating garrulous conversations with idle NPCs. Instead, players choose quests from an every-increasing register of errands. And inserting the 'Class of Heroes 2' UNILY. Close the cover, switch your PSP© on, and the game will start up, bringing you to the title screen. NOTE: Do not eject a I-JIVIY while it is playing.TITLE SCREEN MENU At the title screen, pressing the START Button brings up the.

Date: 3/8 2:00AMGame Time: 21:00Start here, if you haven't already:I wrote that impression when I was about ten hours into the game. The next ten hours continued to be good to me. My current party is:Grape, Female Drake, Warrior, Lvl 10Scott, Male Drake, Samurai, Lvl 9Clay, Male Dwarf, Devout, Lvl 9Pug, Female Halfling, Thief, Lvl 9Moe, Male Elf, Wizard, Lvl 10Fool, Male Celestian, Cleric, Lvl 9Of the six, three are set starter characters and three are students I made myself.

My party is awesome enough now that I want to dump Moe and make my own Wizard for no other reason than the fact that I can't stand looking at the name 'Moe' any longer. Also, I really want an Evoker - its the summoning class - to call forth some friendly monsters in battle. I keep finding places in the game to learn summons, but I have no Evoker to utilize them.And no matter how you build your party, that will always be a concern: what can you live without? Although the game gives you six party members, you really can't have everything. There are front row fighting, back row fighting, healing, magic attack, summoning, support, and thief classes, with hybrid classes covering most logical skill combinations. You must have two or three guys who can survive in the front - the 3rd member in the front row doesn't get targeted nearly as often as the first two, so you can live with him being a bit squishy - and you must have a way to deal non-physical damage, and you must have someone with thievery skills, and you must have a healer.

The rest is a treat, and you can form whatever party you like.Drakes have a useful, unlimited Breath attack that is great against monsters resistant to physical attacks. They have high affinity with each other, so I have two Drakes to suck up most of my damage. The Samurai class learns some neat skills later.

The Devout is a white mage who can kick your butt. He's beefy enough to stand in the front line, regens MP, heals like a madman, and currently dishes out about as much damage as the Samurai. Dwarves are best for this class, in my opinion. Gotta have a Thief of some sort, and Halflings get along better with Drakes and Dwarves than Sprites do. Eventually I want to turn her into a female Ninja to increase her awesomeness.

Celestians, being part angel, get along well with everyone, so I made one of those. He is mostly worthless in battle as a Cleric, but he appraises items for free, which is very useful. Then there is Moe the Wizard. I have to get rid of him. I hate his name. I hate Atlus for giving him that name.

Plus, elves don't get along with dwarves. I think I'll replace him with an Erdgeist - an earth spirit race - because Erdgeists get along with everyone and have good magic casting stats. The downside is that they are puny and die easily.So that's my party planning in a nutshell. You can change classes anytime, so I think I'll make my worthless Cleric into an Evoker soon.As for game progress, I'm currently running around the game's 'paths' (which are dungeons) to delve into the 'labyrinths' (also dungeons) deep inside each one.

I have to kill the bosses I find there and report back to the school's principal so he can send my squad of students on a new deadly task. And I thought my school years were rough.I don't usually pimp out game sites, but this is really awesome:. Check out the comics and the fake newsletters if nothing else. It's funny stuff and gets you stoked about the game.

I wish more game publishers did that.Date: 3/13 2:30PMGame Time: 30:30Grape, Female Drake, Ranger, Lvl 4Scott, Male Drake, Alchemist, Lvl 3Clay, Male Dwarf, Monk, Lvl 4Pug, Female Halfling, Warrior, Lvl 4Fool, Male Celestian, Psychicer, Lvl 9Cream, Female Celestian, Wizard, Lvl 9Changing job classes lets a character keep his stats, but his maximum HP is halved and he drops to level 1. If you do it infrequently, the punishment is very small. Switching four students' classes at once was sorta stupid though. Moe was benched and replaced with Cream. My thief's stats were horrible aside from Agility and Luck, so I made her a warrior temporarily to beef her up some.

Thievery skills are necessary though, so I made my Warrior a Ranger (Rangers have weak thievery abilities). The Ninja was also pretty weak and I want someone who can Appraise items, so I made him an Alchemist. The brutish white mage - the Devout - learned the highest level healing magic possible, so I made him a Monk for now. I want his final class to be a Paladin.

Since my last post, I made my Cleric a Psychicer, which is a great class. I might keep him there all game. Once Cream learns all of the black magic spells, which will be soon, I will make her an Evoker so I can play with summons.As far as dungeon progress goes, I have nothing to report.

It's a bit suprising to see that 10 hours have passed since my last update. Time is flying while I play this game. I can now access all of the dungeons in the world except for one, and am still tasked with getting to the bottom of them and killing the bosses there.One thing I am already wondering about is what overall score to give it. I do have a bias toward dungeon crawlers like this. In the last couple of years I have played EO1, EO2, Shining in the Darkness, and now Class of Heroes, and I enjoyed all of them. Sadly, the genre is too dead to really declare that Class of Heroes is Average, Below Average, Excellent, etc.

As compared to other tile-based, first-person crawlers. You know quickly if a game is better, worse, or right on par with the other games you've been playing, and CoH is definitely better than what I've been playing lately, but I'm undecided on how to translate it into an RPGamer score. If I met you on the street, I'd say 'If you enjoy dungeon crawlers with a Wizardry format, buy it.' Of course, if you are a fan of the format, you should already have it pre-ordered. The only other game I've reviewed that I spent a good while pondering the overall score for was Dragon Quest V DS, and I'm still not sure giving it a 3.5 instead of a 4 was correct. Really, I was hoping CoH would either drag or become awesome (preferrably become awesome), since that would help a lot with the scoring. Instead, the gameplay has been solid and consistent the entire time.

That's good for me as a player, but going to make things tricky as a reviewer.Date: 3/19 10:00AMGame Time: 41:06Grape, Female Drake, Valkyrie, Lvl 10Scott, Male Drake, Alchemist, Lvl 11Clay, Male Dwarf, Monk, Lvl 12Pug, Female Halfling, Thief, Lvl 11Fool, Male Celestian, Psychicer, Lvl 14Cream, Female Celestian, Wizard, Lvl 15Having a Ranger be my 'thief' was a disaster. She kept springing traps and giving me game overs. Over the course of 40 hours, I've probably died around 10 times, and I'd guess that 5 of those times came from springing traps on treasure chests. Whoever sets these traps in Class of Heroes isn't screwing around. So I made Pug a Thief again, and might keep her that for the rest of the game, and made Grape into a Valkyrie so she'd learn some white magic spells.

I plan on making Cream an Evoker sometime soon so I can play with summons. Other than that, my classes might be set.I was going to make my Monk into a Paladin, but I noticed that level up stat gains are highly influenced by a student's current statistics relative to her current level. If you have a level 10 Thief and change her major to a Warrior, she drops to level 1, however her stats stay the same. As she levels back up, her stats won't increase much for the first several levels. Her new class will tweak them - in this case, Strength might go up slightly and Agility might go down slighty - but she won't gain stats quickly like she did the first time she leveled up as a Thief. When she hits a certain level, though, her stats will start increasing like normal again.It's a good system. It keeps you from abusing class changes without really punishing you.

Sadly, it means the Thief I changed to a Warrior didn't beef up much at all, which was why I changed her major in the first place, but I like the way the system works. It's unlike the accursed Valhalla Knights 2's system, which forced you to level up characters in several different jobs to get more precious stat points, and being unlike VK2 is always a good thing in my book.As far as progress goes, again I'm shocked that it's been 10 hours since my last post here. I've bumped off a couple more labyrinth bosses in that time, but haven't made a lot of forward progress. I did some side quests, and Atlus's localization of them is hilarious.

I'll just say that they involved an Undead Boss wearing a varsity school jacket teaming with a troll who is obsessed with kitty ears. Wizardry 8 is the only one I played, and the class system is very similar to the one in Class of Heroes. There are a few big differences.

In Wizardry 8, bonus stats were awarded depending upon how well the race matched the job you gave it. A halfling thief would get a lot of bonus points. A half-orge thief would not. Classes were permanent too, while characters in Class of Heroes can change jobs at any time, reducing their levels to 1 but allowing them to keep all of their stats but max HP. Race affinity in Class of Heroes is new to me, but I'm still not sure how it works exactly.So to answer your question, I don't know. I never played Wizardry 6. Well, let me break it down for you (and you'll see why I asked).'

One of the most fun parts of Wizardry 6 comes at the beginning with character creation. The user leads a party of at least two, and no more than six, custom characters.

There are many races of creatures from which to choose, many of which are unique to this game. Some of the common races include humans, elves, dwarves, fairies and gnomes. Hobbits and lizardmen are bit more obscure, and the races of mook, dracon, rawulf and felpurr are unique to the Wizardry series.' Classes in Wizardry 6 are: Fighter, Mage, Priest, Thief, Ranger, Alchemist, Bard, Psionicist, Valkyrie, Bishop, Lord, Samurai, Monk, Ninja.Races in CoH: Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Erdgeists, Halflings, Sprites, Felpiers (felpurrs), Drakes (Dracons), Diablons, Celestians.Majors in CoH: Warrior, Wizard, Devout, Thief, Cleric, Evoker, Ranger, Alchemist, Psychier, Monk, Samurai, Valkyrie, Paladin, Kunoichi (female ninja), NinjaStartlingly similar. You're right.

The only race differences are where Wizardry had more half human, half animal choices while CoH went the angels and demons route. The job classes are completely identical though, except where Wizardry has a Bard and CoH has an Evoker.Wizardry-stle games continued to thrive in Japan while they died out in the Americas. They have many spinoffs and clones there that we never see.

Alongside the exhibit will be cars from Mickey Thompson's fleet, including his original Assault 1 and Attempt, and tributes to his Pontiac Catalina and two-cylinder dragster with the original engine. . World of Speed's Zero to 1,000 mph exhibit showcases the history of the land speed record. On display will be the Triumph Castrol Rocket model and, for a limited time, the actual two-wheel motorcycle that seeks to break the 400 mph and FIM motorcycle land speed record. World of speed museum hours.

I'm glad Atlus USA is finally bringing another one over here; it's been several years since Wizardry: Tales of the Forsaken Land. Did the bug have something to do with them accidentally turning the once proud dwarven race into furries?Har har - and completely true. When you do a group attack, all of your party members' faces flash on the screen.

When the male dwarf's pic flashes, I always think it is my female halfling because they look sorta similar, especially relative to the other races. If anything, the male dwarf looks cuter and more girly than the female halfling. Poor dwarves.Also, I have to go through Mac when I complain about games I am reviewing. Trust me - I often whine about things that aren't real bugs.

As far as I know, he never passes such information to the publishers. Only RPGamer staff will know all the horrible things I said about Valhalla Knights 2 while reviewing it.EDIT: Proof!

During group attacks, it's a zoomed-in face pic, so it's harder to tell the dwarf's gender. If you look at just the faces, the male dwarf doesn't look discernibly more masculine than the female halfling. I've been following the blogs at Atlus website on this one, the latest mentioned being able to have multiple partys going in different dungeons at the same time, and the possibility of using what I read to be up to 100 characters. I see you seem to have stuck to one party for your playthrough, I'm curious if you might have played with this some in the postgame, and had a chance to check out other races/classes? It sounded like their might be some advantage to having multiple party's, there was mention of using the recycle bin to get items to a party in dungeon. I completely ignored that feature. It is as you said - you can have more than one party and flip between then as you wish.

The most useful result of this is that when a party dies, you can have another party find its pile of corpses in the dungeon and revive them. When my party died I always reset the game. In that sense, I didn't play the game like you are 'supposed' to, but I saw it as an option for a more hardcore gamer than I am. It wouldn't take too long to level up two parties at once if you rotated them in 2 or 3 at a time. For a game I already spent 100 hours on, I never cared to maintain multiple parties when the only real payoff for doing so was bringing back my dead party. Reloading the game brought back my party much faster.EDIT: And about trying out more races or jobs, as the blog here details, I switched around my party members' job classes frequently and ended up with a solid group.

The weakest link was the Alchemist, whom I kept around for his support abilities outside of battle. Had I needed a stronger party, I could have replaced him with someone more helpful in combat if I knew I was headed into a tough fight. I really feel like I could have spent much longer on this game than I did, and if I did try to complete all the postgame stuff, I might have needed to create some new students who could all pull their weight against the game's hardest foes. I'm seriously considering buying this game and then starting over again. In part to support Atlus, in part because the review copy doesn't have a case and looks ugly, and in part because the review copy has bugs in it.
