JediBozQ Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Is there an option in JA which you can wield the saber left handed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 At this point how can anyone possibly know that? I will be curious to see a genuine answer to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSurfer Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 They released that information I believe stating you can pick basically every physical feature of your character. That includes which hand they hold the saber in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 i hope so, being a lefty myself i would like the option of having the saber in the left hand of the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalVapor Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I strongly doubt it. It is such a small detail that most people dont care about. I seriously dont imagine that many people will even notice a little thing like that. Also remember that every little detail makes the game harder and more complex to develop. as it is there are already going to be tons of customizing options. you dont want to weigh it down too much.

It wouldn't make the development harder. They're letting you choose your hairstyle and outfit, why wouldn't you pick if you're a lefty or righty. I'm just saying it's possible that they throw it in there with the numerous other choices you can pick for your character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six of One Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I doubt it, as it would require a new set of left hand/arm movement animations and would require a lot more work (I'm not saying it isn't a cool idea, it would be awesome if they put it in). It probably would seem like too much work an apparently small change. -Half a Dozen of Another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 this may sound stupid but, couldn't they just flip the model horizontally? so that right becomes left and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoast2895 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 in unreal tournament they had the option, so it can't be hard to make, but maybe it would be w/ the saber animations cuz wouldn't they need to make new ones for each to make it look right?

Master_Payne Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Take a look at http://www.lucasarts.com in the JA banner appears a jedi with a double bladed orange lightsaber on his left arm (probably just a draw but... who knows?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I personally feel that it is up to raven what happens to this game (as well as lucasarts) considering how we customize the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matariel Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 it'd be a cinch to do, so why not? just flip some bones around, no problem! many computer nerds are left handed, so give the option! Also, i wanna suggest that ppl who post in this thread actually give their handedness, because i rekon the ppl who are against it are those no good predgedous rightys (im left by the way ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I think it'd be really neat but I've played with a right handed character for so long that I think it may throw me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky_Baccy Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Posted by Boba Rhett I think it'd be really neat but I've played with a right handed character for so long that I think it may throw me off. I'd have to agree - I'd love it to be an option (being a lefty myself ), but I also think it might make things more confusing, having become used to playing as a right-hander... Still, it'd be a neat option to have, even if it made me feel queasy and ruined my aim (which is crap anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediBozQ Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 Well......to have have a character wield the saber on the model's left arm doesn't mean you have to use your mouse with your left hand, yeah? But I don't really count wielding two lightsabers on both arms count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettingShadow Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I think it would be great, and i doubt it be very hard too do. Though being a righty = I wont use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvocca Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 i would love to have the option to be a left hander in the game (iam left handed it would just feel right the be left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithcloak Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 I'm sure that the animations wouldn't be a problem considering that they have already confirmed the ability to use two sabers. I think that it would be a really cool option, I like variaty. (I'm right handed, but it would be fun playing a left-handed character. ) Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediBozQ Posted April 8, 2003 Author Share Posted April 8, 2003 Well, everytime I go shooting with my friends in counterstrike, i must be sure I choose Left handed mods, I dunno why. But I just feel like it. Downside though, when others see you, its still on the right.....but what the heck. Since Jedi Academy almost has it all. Single saber, Double saber, dual-bladed saber, im pretty sure you can have it on the left. Let's hope a new screenshot will clear things up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 whatever. I'm righty, but I don't really care one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Being a righty, it isn't a big deal to me. It would be a nice option to have, but I'm not sure how it would effect all the animations, development wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
