Why do Long Twintails cost 20 million Meseta and how on earth do I get that much.

the economy started to collapse when they added Ultra Hard difficulty to Cradle of Darkness, and making that drop 13 star units and 14 star weapons like a goddamned flood. You can turn a 13* weapon into like 3 ex-cubes, and 14* weapons/13* units into five, and then you can turn those ex-cubes into like 30 grinders per cube, and each grinder is like 400 meseta each, and that basically pushed the market past it's brink.

It's PSO3, but they made it an expansion so they didn't have to renegotiate all the crossover stuff they've done for the last decade.

Is this a good time to jump in? I remember there being serious issues with the microsoft version, and all the different versions, I don't really mind starting over if I have too (I was only like level 20)

Yeah, it'll basically be a fresh start since the only real major gameplay thing that carries over is that weapons from pso2 become mid-tier weapons in NGS

Doesn't know the impossible.

Is there anything worth doing on a PSO2 account to try and set it up for NGS, eg stuff to sell, cosmetics to buy, etc? I did see that cosmetics were supposed to carry over, but the website/test creator seemed to imply that PSO2 and NGS bodies/clothes can't be combined with each other?

PSO2 hairstyles should be able to be used with NGS bodies so that would be where I would focus.

You can use all accessories with NGS bodies as well, but makeup and body paint have to be for the body/face type you're using.

to be honest I'm still saying "This is pso2 but the map type is different" cause most of this was more "we wanted to try all this poo poo in pso2, but we were still supporting the PSVita until September of 2020 for some reason" by all technicality, NGS is an extension of Phantasy Star Crew's 10-year plan for PSO2, and they've been on record saying as much.

I'm still a little sour that all of the previous quest content is effectively getting swept under the rug though

PSO2 gets the New Genesis updated graphics, but will still stick around and you can still access your original characters, PSO2 content, their levels, and gear. But New Genesis is basically a whole new do over and you start at level 1, some basic stuff / cosmetics transfer over. Is this correct?

Mostly yes, but also your original characters are also your NGS characters, and you can take a teleporter back and forth between games/time. Also you can port over gear but it's not endgame stuff and they have level requirements so it's a pretty minor boost.

Do you think it will just be better to start completely over and make a whole new character in NG and start at level 1? I have a level cap character in PSO2 for what that's worth.

It literally doesn't matter. The character creator no longer has any restrictions on gender or race and your ostensibly defined race no longer has any stats attached. The only reason to start over would be if you don't like your name.

There's some accessories for going on 7 raid type events before NG goes live. If you want to no life it there are rewards for getting to max level. And if you want to throw real money at the game you can gamble for clothes and accessories.

If you really want to there are probably some easy sources of Star Gems that you can get just by poking around as a new player in PSO2, which is the earnable premium currency and can be spent in both games.

Not necessarily going away imminently, but having some in your pocket will let you rent material storage earlier, which I assume will also be crucial for quality of life in NGS. I have no idea how easy it will be to get SG in NGS.

There’s also essentially a whole-rear end game in the form of pso2 you can play in the meantime, especially since we’ll likely run out of things to do in the new genesis part of the game pretty quickly and you can then go back and play the original in between updates. May as well get a head start on that I say

poo poo right I probably should get on writing up a new OP, I guess mostly from scratch this time since everything's going under the carpet pretty much haha...

I'll keep some PSO2-classic information in the 2nd post or something.

in the meantime hows about the time-honored tradition of thread title suggestions; don't forget the character limit is like, 75? I think?

here's the only one I could think of at the moment:

PSO2 New Genesis: This is (not) Episode 7

a bit of a joke is that the first thread was titled in a similar format

Here's something you might want to stick in the character creation section.



On paper this might be a Male Human, but their character creation data is made up of a Male Human head, Numan ears, Deuman eyes/horn/tattoos, a Female Cast body with masculine proportions, a giant codpiece made with the freeform accessory system, and whatever combination of animations you prefer. Don't be afraid to go nuts.
