The worst part about trying to let NGS go to me is that the memories of how awesome base PSO2 Global was for that one year have never left me. 2020 was such an awful year, I was laid off 3 times after years of previous steady employment and had a couple family members die of COVID but the bright spots were the time I spent playing PSO2 Global. No other online/MMO/live service game gave me the hook, satisfaction and escape that base PSO2 did and I feel so awful that the intended experience of that game is gone forever. NGS being a bad game isn't what has me feeling so jaded, it's that it ruined PSO2's legacy and destroyed all the goodwill it produced is what has me eternally upset.
I recently went back to pso2 only to find my friends still getting bullied by the whales. If you never make another pso2 video again, this video does a good job sending our collective farewell to the game. Sure, we might make fan art and tributes over the years to commemorate the good times, but that is as far as it goes. They have essentially taken something that could have been great and poisoned it to an extent that turned us into desperate loners who were willing to tolerate predatory micro transactions, content starvation, and community division. Thanks for the content you've done over the years. It was the wake up call we all needed, and I wish you the utmost success in relocating to a country that will truly make you happy. As for me, I'm trying to teach myself digital art and it looks like I finally found a replacement for gaming. It was long overdue lol.
Worth noting at this point in the games story they're very close to coming after the big bad thats kinda responsible for the games whole setting, I'm really not sure what more they could do with this game beyond that. I came back and tried Nameless City for a while, its surprisingly refreshing, game feels different when it's not a constant PSE rush. Eventually it grows tire as well though. What sense really is there in discussing a game that's hopelessly budgeted and can't compete with other games?
Not going to lie, I watched some of your videos and your predictions are awful. Just because you feel some type of way about the game does not mean majority share this sentiment. It is okay to take a break from the game and come back level headed. Phantasy star games do not get to their of end of service until usually after 15 star weapons. Sega also has no problem with shutting down global and keeping the JP servers running as well. If you go look at the latest sega sammy report NGS is doing fine and is not going to shutdown no time soon. Maybe in 3 to 4 years after 15 stars come out.
If you ever go to Asia or going there there is alot going on like NGS too, this game is not cashgrab, it will become cashgrab if you allow it, the point of scratch is just scratch if there is alot you want from that scratch series, if you just want hair then let others scratch it for you and you buy it from market, only buy if you need to buy, if you don't need then feel free to not to buy. That's how you play the game like this, if you have collector/hoarder attitude however this will become sinkhole. And after one year ago ranting it will close down, today it's still going and not surprising you give another prediction it will close down another year, well broken clock will at least right twice a day, eventually the game will close down, no game last forever, is NGS is a failure? It is debatable though, it maybe fail to catch your attention but others may not think the same. Steam chart is hardly parameter on how you decide this game have less/more player since this game can be played on multiple platform. Maybe talk more to people that actually play the game see what they have to say, NGS is not serious game, same from PSO2 previously all the hard part of the game is completely optional, you don't need to clear profound darkness to enjoy the game, definitely doesn't need ultra rare weapon to beat most of things. The thing is this casual attitude is what make this interesting, it's not hard to catch up if you take a break from the game, they give 100 million exp ticket for returning player, this what make it good game to some people that is busy with life. NGS concept is to play at your leisure anytime you want, if you can, if you want to play other game then feel free to play other game, if you're burnt out then, you don't need to be afraid you will be left out in the dust because of not playing. You missed a lot from the last September 2 normal variant and 3 extreme variant of the bosses and now NGS no longer confined on Halpha, it actually go to outer space now with nameless city, it doesn't really matter which ship you on, NGS finally implemented option for all ship matchmaking, this feature still buggy and sometime causing crash if the room is crowded.
i mostly play base but even for base pso2 im not even on it, there just is not as much to do or grind except just mass amounts of meseta, i would usually go on ngs for the daily log in rewards but thats not worth it either i get they need to make money off the games but the scratches are way to much and it is all they care about instead of focusing on raw gameplay and bringing more players into the scene, glad i never went more in depth with this games shitty grind

Wow, sorry to hear about your losses during that rough time and I'm glad you found a way to cope.

Btw I might still make the other episodes of my ship 4 stories we'll see.

I see, yeah seems like they're wrapping it up.
