I'm a huge fan of action, reactive combat and what we have in New Genesis is sheer potential. The rest of our entire alliance has disappeared too. My brother was hardcore addicted since global launch and he played NGS for three weeks and was like okay? And he’s been playing other games since then. I played NGS enthusiastically and have done everything in it with six different characters, but I have never felt quite the same level of addiction that I had to base just because there’s not that much to be addicted to. I didn’t comprehend at that time that the game was basically over. I started in January and was super into PS02 in May. The same sort of hard-core people who played JP base probably could have played on the Japanese servers if they wanted until then. I would’ve been very happy if they had released NGS in Japan, extended base for global some of the content we never got and then caught us up with Japan at the Winter update. Apparently, they really needed to release something in Japan since Ep 6 had been done for months. I think part of the untold story is that the development was screwed by the pandemic. So if you can’t give us new NGS content use the already existing pso2 content we haven’t gotten yet. At this point the only thing keeping people if they haven’t tired of pso2 yet. From what I can tell we are missing all kinds of events and items that JP got to experience so why not let us experience those in between major NGS updates. They should never of started taking services down in pso2. It was amazing with tons of new things to do at a quick pace for the year but now that we hit NGS it’s PAINFULLY slow. Another big mistake was plowing us through 8 years worth a pso2 content. I doubt many would of been upset if we knew it was gonna be released in small segments over the year. Their biggest mistake was not telling us. I’ll never understand what the developers were thinking they they released NGS so early with barely 2-3 hours worth of content excluding leveling. Over all I’d have to say NGS but that’s if I cut out 95% of pso2 and only try to compare the first 20 levels and first zone to each other. I cannot wait to see what they do with trigger quests and the next desert area. I loved Wired Lances and Bows in classic and I love them moreso now in NGS. Building up tornados on Double Sabers then consuming it with a Deadly Archer is a lot more engaging. Gunner has gone from my least favourite class due to its jank to my favourite now thanks to the changes to Chain Trigger and removal of the gear gauge. I really hope they bring back seasonal EQs to break up the grind.įor me, NGS made me love class weapons that I absolutely dislike in classic. Nex Vera brings back flashbacks of Jamada, and Mining Rig defense has really nice music. Magnus.įor EQs, I love Pedas Vera when you have a decent group. There is a lot more verticality too, especially with areas like Souther Aerio and Mt. There's other details like how the water from Halphia Lake flows all the way through Aerio to the western sea. Stumbling upon red boxes while tracking down cocoons and towers was actually really fun for me. There's a lot more detail put into the world and its allowed them to hide secrets like red boxes and lore related stuff like the boat in Southern Aerio. In terms of the world itself, it definitely benefits from being hand crafted rather than being randomly generated out of chunks. The battle music is just amazing and fitting considering it borders the penultimate Volcano area. When Photon Gliding the piano picks up in intensity and changes key. Stand still and you just get some calming tones, but start running and a piano as well as vocals are added. Halphia Lake is the only area in PSO2 history where the calm music changes depending on how you move. Resol Forest's night battle theme while pretty repetitive, adds an environmental gimmick where the small glowing trees add to the music with their own sound effects and piano (though that tree is outside of the forest so not the best example). Pedas Vera's music is just so triumphant and is incredibly fitting for taking down a commander of DOLLS. Aerio Night's battle theme is absolutely amazing for an environment where the odds should be against you due to the Day Night Shift. While the dynamic music has been downgraded somewhat, the actual music itself is a league above what classic had. The music in NGS so far is incredible in most cases.
