- Personalisation. Upon first loading the game and creating my Character, I was actually impressed with how much you could change about your character, the colour palletes you could choose from etc. But after playing the game for a while, I've realised there isn't a huge amount of differentiation between the races - for example you can make Humans, Newmans and Beasts almost look identical, choosing the same haircut and build, and they all have access to the same outfits... seems kinda sucky. I know PSO didn't exactly have loads of personalisation either, but the levels of personalisation offered between PSO and PSU are few and far between.

- Photon Arts. Why only 1 per weapon? I was expecting to be able to learn multiple skills and be able to string them together as combos. Basically you get the good old 1,2,3 combo then plus an extra attack with some prettier graphics. Not a huge leap over the PSO 1,2,3 + Special Weapon attack system, which is actually more satisfying to use.

- "Yes, let's discriminate against Newmans and Beasts by forcing them to wear different sets of clothing!"

I mean, seriously. Beasts actually have unique faces, thanks to their racial attributes, and the ears on Newmans and Beasts are uniqueness enough, methinks. Why restrict the clothing and hairstyles available to them just because they're a different race?

- PA's improve with use. Bladeskill-type PA's can be combo'd into from the standard 3-hit. As they level, they gain up to two additional parts to their own combo, so it's actually: 1-2-3-PA1-PA2-PA3, not 1-2-3 or PA. Also, PA's often deal multple hits (Rising Strike, Buten-Shuryen Zan) for each button press. (Rising Strike's two-string maximum deals two enemies two hits with the first button press, the second of which knocks them into the air, and then a jumping slash for the second press which deals roughly three hits in quick succession to each while they're in the air, for a grand total of an 8-hit combo.)
