Hitlersaurus Christ posted:While a lot of the issues just boil down to questionable game design, I think a good deal of why the game is the way it is has to do with having a small budget and not enough people to work on it. The team was clearly not equipped to make an open world type game, let alone while simultaneously working on the new custom room system. The extra studio in Hokkaido they got working on the game to assist them seems to have gone to the cosmetic side of things rather than assisting the main team with the game itself. in retrospect it almost feels like NGS was intended as an open world tech practice/test for developing Sonic Frontiers

Sonic Team hasn’t worked on Phantasy Star since the Universe games. They probably both were just trend chasing after Breath of the Wild.

I don't think they even share a renderer (seeing as sonic team famously wasted two years redoing theirs in order to use it for Forces), let alone any other tech

Hi, I absolutely love PSO going back to dreamcast days; the spacey, photon weapony aesthetic, top notch for me. I've put literally thousands of hours into the JP server, and have been getting busy on NA recently also. Despite that I feel I'm pretty lovely at the game lmao, need better armor and augments. but my fashion is perfect! Idk, og pso2 and now ngs (sorta) are just some of my favorite games ever to space out to and kill poo poo, in space. On a final note, the absolute customization you can do with your characters has been such a loving huge draw to me also. It just somewhat helps relieve a bit of dysphoria tbh. Getting to be a cute space bounty hunter and customizing her to a T has been super fun for me. If y'all have a crew on server 2 lmk!

There's a link to the Discord we use in the first post. Just join up and say something and it shouldn't take long.
