I don't understand why people say this game is fun

I started as a human girl shooter thing. I don't really know what it is but she had Pippi Longstocking hair and that really sealed the deal. Anyway I find it really annoying that in the first mission there are like 12-16 enemies per area that take 5-6+ hits to kill even now that I am at level 4, and because I am a ranged shooter lady I have to run around a lot to avoid getting hit, which just makes everything take longer. Then I have to retarget, and I am still unsure of whether or not this game even has a targeting system or just makes you think it does, and that sucks dick. Half the time the monsters just guard constantly and that's annoying. I had a stupid tiny dog thing guard about 20 times in a row, no word of a lie. So it's basically shoot, run across the map, shoot, run across the map, rinse repeat 5-6*12-16 times. Often more, since it spawns larger enemies pretty often. This game isn't fun. It is an exercise in tedium.

I also cannot for the life of me figure out what the timing is for my gun, or if there is timing, or what. I don't know if I have done it right ever or not. I miss about as often with normal attacks as I do with heavy attacks so I don't know why I'd ever not just use heavy attacks.

If it's really gone back to its PSO roots then I'm going to tell you right now that Rangers are the easiest class but also dull as fucking shit.

PSO > PSU > PSZero.

That's about the long and the short of it.

I'm not suffering overmuch.  Clearing swaths of trash becomes easier as a ranger when you have the Bio Panic photon art on your cannon.

What I don't like is that the best rares come from the top boss of a dungeon with 100 floors (and 5 rooms of enemies per floor).

Also, apparently, if you go somewhere on a quest, you get extra exp, but if you access the field when not questing, you have better loot chances. QQQQQQQQQQQQQQqqqqqqqqqqqqq

PSZ is nearly as good as gamecube PSO. Maybe better. PSU is a goddamn abomination.

Just the loot/exp thing seems kind of annoying too

I was just trying to work out which part of the post you were |:|ing at.

LOOKING FOR GOOD TIPS ON WHICH PHOTON ARTS AREN'T FAT PIECES OF SHIT PST
By which I mean, if anyone has findings about what is effective in this game, please share.  I can't read Japanese and lack the patience to sift through GameFAQs forums.  Also, pso-world is down more often than not.

I only know from HU photon arts, and the list is basically "Force Ride, Huge Cross" and nothing else.

See, I feel like PSO is like the best girlfriend ever, except she died in a tragic server shutdown accident.  Then PSU came along and tried to be everything I liked about PSO, but tried way too hard with too many different things.  And then PSZero showed up and is like that 10 year old girl who is so deadset on being like the aged beauty that was PSO.

I mean, I appreciate what Zero is trying to do, but it just isn't meshing with me.
