Yeah, we already have good evidence that a Steam version is coming sooner or later, I have to hope that things will be sorted out by whenever this launches next year.

So is this a A Realm Reborn situation where it's an entirely new game but with the same name?

It's not yet clear the extent to which things will carry over or how much of a clean slate reboot this really is. They have said clearly that you will get to "keep your characters", but whether that means things like class levels or gear are the same in the new game, or if it's a purely cosmetic thing like Destiny 1->2, we don't know. They are simultaneously calling it a new game and update, sometimes within the same sentence, in much of their messaging.

I kinda fell off of PSO2 due to life and other games but man this looks rad. Hopefully we don't have to wait 13 years for it to come to NA!

They announced that they're planning a global (meaning jp and na  ) release with this expansion.Could be why they're whiplashing through content so fast on NA right now.

The three classes shown off in that trailer are just hunter/ranger/force, although interestingly enough hunter had hero's counter attack. Also yeah, they activate their photon blast on their subpallet and it consumes it when they start the attack

Nemo2342 posted:https://pso2.com/news/announcements/pso2ngsannouncement Really tough spot to be in. If they don't bring over any cosmetics, current players will be alienated. If they do, players of the new game would likely be alienated since ac scratches don't revive often at all and they'd be tied to a game they're not playing. Plus it's 8 years of cosmetics which is a tall order to remake Since emotes are transferring, that's probably where all the meseta is going to be going forward, assuming anyone still cares about meseta when that doesn't transfer over

Website makes it sound like cosmetics (but not furniture) are going to carry over since they're updating the graphics engine for regular PSO2 also. They're not in the list of things you won't be able to use

Video made it pretty clear that your cosmetics are coming over with the system. Emotes etc too. It even pointed out that the new system will allow you to do stuff like have more accessories on your character at once, in whatever spots you want, with more malleable character creation on the newer graphics options, and that the newer graphics options will be compatible with PSO 2 OR New Genesis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbQCZ2j5nZE Quite honestly, my hype couldn't be higher for this.

I don't agree that it's clear cosmetics are coming, emotes are specifically namedropped as are "other registered items" so yeah I can see accessories being included there, probably. But you don't register outfits or outerwear, for example

The main thing I'm concerned about is the whole 'classes may not be in at the start' thing. If it weren't for Bouncer I don't know if I would've kept playing PSO2, honestly. It's such a perfect class for me that doing anything else just feels lackluster, like I'm missing something. It's just too much fun flying around, throwing thousands of photon blades around every second, never having to land, and touching the ceiling regularly if I'm doing the right DPS rotation. And there's even the option of someday learning how jet boots work and actually equipping a pair at some point maybe.

It's almost certainly coming out very soon after NA hits parity with JP, and in fact they're waiting to release it until then. Also the whole "Microsoft bankrolled NG" theory kinda falls apart when you remember that they've been working on this for a long time in JP and it isn't availible on the xbox (or specifically windows 10 even) at all over there

Yeah they're was presumably a large staff cut early in ep5 and now we can start to see where those resources were being spent. I think all MS did was strongarm them into releasing out west with their server plan.

quote:Because PSO2: NGS and PSO2 will have different game systems, some of their respective elements will be incompatible. The following points will summarize what we can announce at this time. quote:Note: While PSO2's graphics engine will be overhauled, its game system will not change. You can play the exact same content that you have until now. quote:Character growth will not be shared between PSO2 and PSO2: NGS.

Oxyclean posted:The game system is changing, but it isn't changing, but also, level again? PSO2 and PSO2NGS will basically be different games that are linked together. The "classic" PSO2 will still play the way it does now with no changes to your character or anything, just with a new graphics engine to match with NGS. NGS will have a new combat system and probably new core game loop and will be the one where you'll need to level again and all that, because it's basically a different game.

Oh, I'm dense. I didn't realize they were saying PSO2 is getting a graphics update alongside the creation of NGS. I thought they were describing a difference between 2 and 2NGS. So it's literally just: PSO2: Gets shinier PSO2:NGS: New game with basically a new start, but you get to bring along some stuff.

I dont think they bankrolled it, chances are Sega was planning on releasing NG eventually globally as its own stand alone game and microsofts infusion allowed them to port over the PSO2 portions of it as well.

So even though NG isn’t replacing PSO2 there’s no way the original gets any meaningful content updates after NG launches right? I assume it’s just being kept online to stop people being completely outraged at losing things that don’t carry over to NG and for Sega to have the option to go back to it in case NG somehow ends up being a massive flop.

Limited human resources mostly. MMOs tend to go into "maintenance mode" if they are successfully replaced by a newer version. But at the same time newer versions might crash and burn and they have development switch back to the older more popular version like what happened to maple story.
