I considered posting this in the "Online" forum, but this doesn't really involve online gameplay as much as just the game's mechanics in general...

Anyway, I was wondering what you guys think of the character classes in PSO. I tried the offline mode of PSO for the first time a couple days ago because I knew I'd be getting online fairly soon and wanted to get to know the game before I did. When I got to the class selection screen, I simply couldn't decide as to which class I wanted to play with. I sat there for a good 20 minutes trying to decide.

I want to know what character classes are the best for what purposes, what the main differences are, whether certain classes work better with a team, what are the most and least commonly chosen classes, etc. Even things relating to online play, such as what class would most benefit our online teams, and what are our teams lacking? I initially tried FOnewm, but I'm not sure how much I like it. Maybe it's better suited to supporting a team?

I'd like to know what class I want to play as before I've logged too many hours into the game already. I know I'm taking it pretty seriously, but I think I only get one shot at this decision. I also have trouble taking FOnewm seriously. His giant ass is just a little too ridiculous for me. :shock:
