Class in the Phantasy Star Online series determines a player character's abilities and team role.
Phantasy Star Online[]
- Main article: Class (Phantasy Star Online)
Classes in Phantasy Star Online combine a character's race, gender, and one of three focuses: melee weapons (hunter), ranged weapons (ranger), or elemental and support techniques (force).
Your character's class cannot be changed in Phantasy Star Online except by recreating the character.
Phantasy Star Online 2[]
- Main article: Class (Phantasy Star Online 2)
Classes in Phantasy Star Online 2 are independent of race and gender, so any combination of race and gender can be any class. The four starting classes reflect a focus on melee weapons (hunter), ranged weapons (ranger), fire/ice/lightning techniques (force), or melee and ranged weapon hybrid (braver).
A character's class can be changed in Phantasy Star Online 2 through the independent progression of your character in each available class. Both subclasses and new classes (fighter, gunner, techer) can be unlocked as a character progresses.
