Don't worry Mermaid, I'm not mad at you or anybody ^^"
This week has just been stressful for me so I'm a bit on the cranky side..Sorry o×ω×o

But what I was ranting about I meant. It took me a while to adjust to the gun idea and not when I try to picture the girls with other weapons it just looks bizarre.
I mean, from how they fight in the anime suggests something almost DBZ style...I just always thought hand-to-hand was best suited for the girls, but I guess since everyone else has weapons they should too.

The pictures I posted were just for visual refference, those obviously aren't the guns they will have. Although for the pictures of Healer's guns I really liked that style. And the reason why I chose the types of guns are as follows:
Fighter: I thought of a sniper or a rifle type weapon would be best because she could shoot a single, powerful laser beam( Much like her SeriousLaser but in one beam).
Maker: He GentleUterus is a bunch of energy projectiles so I thought a rapid-fire weapon, like a gatling gun, would be able to diplay a similar effect (shooting an onslaught of energy bullets). And I thought of a large-scale gune because she looks as though she could definately handle it.
Healer: As Artemis said, the Femme Fatale. She's got the personalty that suits the wepons perfectly. Plus When I was thinking about what her laser blasts would look like I pictured bursts of spark-like energy so automatic pistol-things with a burst fire function instantly came to mind.

This post is getting huge...
I basically just wanted to say that we should think about the girls' fighting styles and individual personalities before suggesting a weapon.

And Mermaid...I can somewhat see the whip for Maker now that I'm not I ticking time bomb ready to blow up ^^"
But I still think that the girls' weapons should be similar to eachother..Hence the variations of guns.

But we'll let Chains decide everything xD

YEAH, that's what I'm talking about. At least, no matter if he decides not to go with the guns for the others, Healer would just look all wicked. She can even have them strapped to her thighs. It would suĦt her just fine. Sailor_Star_Healer_Transform

We could always just go the the Chrono Trigger route and not give these characters weapons, but instead designate bonuses to attack power after every couple of levels. I remember Aya at level 99 had her weapon changed to "Golden Fist" which did 9999 damage on critical strikes.

That looks so awesome. But Mars already has a bow, so I don't if that would be a good idea.


Anyhow, I didn't read all the posts ;P so I dont know if someone said this already. I like the idea of the guns, but I don't think they should look like guns guns. Maybe like modified versions of the originals and like white with trims of the colours on their suits.

Yes, I agree, modified guns/weapons that match their fuku/jewelry/accessories style are the best choice. ArtemisSit

I was thinking that, if they had guns, you could give them different types of ammo as upgrades instead of replacing the weapon over and over again. Ammo would be unlimited of course(just a way to upgrade). I figured it would be way easier on whoever has to sprite everything.

Well, this is only if we use guns to begin with.

Well, based on the poll, the general consensus is to go with the guns.

Ammo is what I had in mind, although I don't know how that would work for lasers. Maybe some kind of energy-creating cartridges?

if you don't use shells to contain all that energy and then fire it, you have guns that can only fire slowly due to recharge times. Either ammo, or some sort of battery are required for rapid fire. cartridges are faster, but batteries can allow for continuous beam. You could do both if you hooked up to a giant generator, but that's cumbersome. At least, if you're using metaphysics. I have a friend who's way into sci-fi so he kind of went on a tangent while i was talking to him about this.

Of course, you have beings that run on magical/spiritual energy here, so there's no problem no matter what you do.

I suppose maybe you could give them like a type of crystal that creates the beam, and different crytals will do different things. Using a crystal to create an energy beam makes some sense right? ^^"

As far as beam-types go there could be things like Paralysis laser, explosive laser and multi-laser(hits multiple targets), a laser that could damage an enemy's MP or absorb it etc. could be used.

Pretty much any type of add-on that a laser could get would work, the possibilites are endless for beam upgrades xD
I'm excited to see what you'll come up with VenusPose

I had been thinking on how this would look so I make a mock up of a possible scenerio.

The Healer sprite is made by me and the Chibi Usa one is from Another Story porovided by these lovely people. http://www.la-soldier.net/Graphics/Vgs/vgsprites.php

I know it sucks. But I was just trying to show how guns wouldn't have to be a bad thing. And I picked Chibi Usa, cause she's my least favorite character.

That's not a bad mockup. It would be a bit flashier than that, but not bad. XD
