I liked PSO2 very much, I even liked NGS for a time, but the sheer amount of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in my inventory keeps me from returning to the game, if I ever do return, I will most likely skip my entire hoard and just play regular old PSO2 from level 1 -> infinity on a new ship where i don´t have to clean up instead of playing a game I recommend the game if you plan to play PSO2 original, and you´ll even have fun in NGS untill you quickly run out of content, but your inventory is a game by itself, a tedious drag of figuring out what does what, where to put it, and why the hell you even got it in the first place The gameplay is worth trying out, combat is quite good and fun, leveling up and participating in raids is a thrill, I can´t recall how many times I´ve relentlessly hammered that poor ghost battleship down, and the red dragon got an unfair amount of beatdowns too PSO2 is old now, but it did have and still have some basic things that makes it a pleasant ride and a place you´ll want to explore more than once
Phantasy star Portable 1 and 2 was better than whatever this game is now

I've been playing PSO2 for awhile, even on the original JP servers. It's got some of the best character creation ever. But ffs, they launched NGS and just screwed us. I'm the type of guy who prefers gameplay over story. I could forgive the whole-lot-of-nothing story NGS has and the fact that the story updates are basically 30 seconds of forgettable characters talking about ♥♥♥♥ you don't care about (I overlooked them screwing the story of the original when ep4 dropped iykyk), because the combat and creation was fun. But there's no real reason to play beyond dailies. No real story quests. Nothing to do in the open world (one of the regions being a ♥♥♥♥♥ to even get around imo), Bunch of quests with rewards that aren't worth it. Relying on limited-time quests with a ♥♥♥♥ all chance of getting a good weapon. Weapon/armor upgrades that imo are more trouble than worth to go for, just to do it again on the next patch. The only thing worth getting is cosmetics from the player shop, which costs a ♥♥♥♥ ton of meseta. If this game just gave some missions to play, PSO2 style, with a boss at the end, and rewards an amount of meseta that's actually worth considering, I'd be satisfied. If the Mission Pass could be leveled by tasks outside of dailies, I'd be satisfied. Give us SOMETHING, man! I love this game, but I can't recommend it to anyone tbh.
worst trash ive ever played
its not really worth the play unless you just wanna play dress up with your person, game plays not really difficult unless you're constantly changing your class, but ill still play it cause i'm a loser chud, i say "where winds meet" if you wanna play a better mmo (im talking for new genesis not OG)
Used to work. Then updated and will no longer launch. Shame really.
my weapon camo was gone i played not only 13 hrs in this game and now it says 13 hrs i dont fkn know where was my old account or what even happened
Bring back Firefall
I didn't like it when I played it. I couldn't put my finger on why exactly. But I did fool around with a friend using the social features and a person's avatar had a HUGE ASS for some reason lol
they lost their way and it's not the same anymore if you want to try it then only play the base pso2 game new genesis is just genuinely not worth it
