@@tvbuu i know your talking about the gamecube version but I actually would like a defintive version with ep 4 and ep 3 intergraded in so that you can share the same character in ep 3. Even ep 3 was a better "companon" game then NGS. Edit: also the single player of course.
Aight, bit of a wall of text incoming. Honestly speaking, no. I cannot in good conscience recommend NGS, it is simply put a bad game. This is coming from someone who's been playing PSO2 on and off on JP servers since 2014. Best way to describe NGS would be bland and boring. There is quite simply nothing engaging to do in the game, something the game has suffered from since its launch a ~year ago. While it has improved over the course of past year, most of the improvements tend to fall in the QoL and social category while the core issues still persist. The game lacks a meaningful, long-term goal for players to work towards. The content introduced has extremely poor longevity and is often dubbed as "dead content" sometimes as soon as a single week after its release. Content has very poor consistency in terms of rewards and profit. You're expected to chase the .0001% drop, something a majority of players who've played since the launch have yet to see. Grinding for weeks if not months and having very little to show for it just leads to burnout. There is no reason to chase best in slot gear because nothing in the game warrants it. Even less of a reason when it is most likely going to be outdated in 3 months. Almost everything the game offers is ridiculously easy and doesn't challenge the player. The 1-2(literally) exceptions which expect more from the player have such poor rewards that they're widely considered to be waste of time. There is no reason to get good at the game because apart from "bragging rights" you get literally nothing out of it. NGS' open world while admittedly quite pretty is barren and empty. At best it contains only meaningless busy work in a form of dailies. It also feels extremely small because the way its designed, the most optimal way of farming is primarily made up from menu navigating, multiple loading screens and running from the same point A to point B and only then you get to actually play the game and press buttons for couple of minutes. Rinse and repeat. Story is bland and there's very little of it. The story almost exists as a separate entity from rest of the, once you've gone through the little the game has to offer it just gets swept under the rug and you forget about it until the next patch cycle arrives. Then there's the issue of overly aggressive monetization in form of constant overlapping AC scratches aka fashion which is the backbone of NGS. While I cannot call NGS pay to win in terms of character power at least, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with cosmetics, even as someone who's not opposed to spending cash on the game. It has just become this endless FOMO treadmill. tl;dr NGS is a bland game which suffers from a severe lack of meaningful, engaging long-term content and is in many ways a downgrade from its now 10 year old predecessor PSO2 despite its attempt to modernize the game. The game never was able to fully recover from the disastrous launch.
I feel bad for all the developers who have clearly poured their sweat and blood into making this game and all their work is ruined because of the out of touch decisions made by the higher ups and marketing department. There's clearly a disconnect between them but the lower level devs can do nothing except make the best game they possibly could. This just came out on PlayStation but the problem is that there's so many games on the PlayStation like Genshin which has high player retention (it remains on the top 10 f2p category since its release) and first party exclusives.
PSO2 NG is still a meme I see. I quit this game before the new snow region, I saw the direction the game was going with how they gated content through gear score which is gated by dailies but don't worry if you do want to keep progressing after finishing your dailies are done you can swipe your credit card for cash shop loot boxes that also have the items you need to level up your gear. So ya it clear SEGA has zero interest in PSO2 NG being the next big Phantasy star game it just SEGA's attempt to join the scummy group of over monetization by intentionally implementing flawed game design into their game so they can sell solutions to said intentionally designed problems they created. When did it become the norm for designers to intentionally break their product so said designer can sell additional options as a means to fix what they intentionally broke?
@@malazan6004 For the most part, yes. The majority of the content is still there, but stuff like concerts, seasonal events and raids are stripped away and significantly crappier versions of themselves got funneled into NGS. It's basically like playing on a private server now.
man, I just wanna hop back into dungeons with my robot and laser sword and grind for a bigger better laser sword that shoots grenades. They have over complicated and un-fun the systems of the game so much since the original pso and pso blue burst IMHO. Even pso2 was just a clusterfuk of urgent missions and getting 1 billion copies of the same loot over and over just to fuse it into some other loot one day later that gets replaced a few months after that. I'm not a big fan of the modern trend of games (besides ESO) that tend to just make all your old gear irrelevant as a form of progress each patch lol. I don't think this franchise will be saved in my lifetime - its fundamentally broken. IMHO :P
So now that after Stia has been released, I'm fairly certain you were right about the Dark Falz fight not having been intended to being released when it was, given how the current end to the story missions play out.
@@knightspartan7201 Going through Stia is pretty much similar to Retem in that you're exploring Dolls facilities for a good portion of the story content which ends in you going through the last area finding Dark Falz. The area itself that you're going through is just filled with boss enemies and very light basic enemies, when you do get to Dark Falz you don't even fight it, your party runs out of the facility and Dark Falz ends up getting shot with the cannon that Crawford has been building up. Afterwards you're told that "they expect Dark Falz to show back up after healing but they have ideas as to where that'll happen and they'll be prepared to fire upon 'em again" which would then make sense for the UQ happening in the first place to me.
the game felt more like a beta rto me than a fully released game. I played id for 100H way back a year got stuck on level 20 and realized there is literally nothing to do anymore. I was planning to go back into the game once it had more content and story but seeing as it's been a year later and we still practically have no storylines, I guess it'll take me 10years to get back into this game.
Yeah like actual gambling with real money too. That type of thing is not allowed in other games. Loot boxes have been phased out of most other games but Sega is still getting away with it
@@knightspartan7201 I wish the same could be said for mobile games lol... Can't just let people buy what they want, it just has to be a greedy gacha system
It's like Sega are chasing trends without actually putting effort into the content. They think that if they just throw an open world game out there with some gacha, they will strike gold, it doesn't work like that though. The content of the game itself still has to be good, but it all just feels so hollow. I really hate the direction Sega has taken the PSO series. Phantasy Star filled a market that doesn't really exist anywhere else, but they threw that away and turned it into another open world gacha game, a genre I am not exactly fond of. I just want my sci-fi dungeon crawler back.
I got it on ps5 for the first time and I notice you can play the original within the NG client. So you think when I get bored of NG I should go and play original pso2? glad they added the original and not just NG
my biggest problem with the game as of now is feeling forced to level every class to 60 for the skill add on bonuses.. but that isn’t the issue.. it’s how abysmal the exp gain is from combat sectors.. it’s slowly burning me out and i’m starting to question why i decided to play this game
@@UngratefulBeast it's fine. So you can do it solo. You don't have to finish the quest. Just get the highest score you can get and you should get rewards still. I believe having the modifiers will give you more reward gain but I haven't tested it out. Having an A rank should give you a decent amount of class cubes per run
I agree with some issues on NGS but people forget that the base game has over 8 years of content and starting out it had very little like NGS does, It’s not a fair comparison at all. They had to release the game due to the PR bandwagon they made out of pumping the whole 8+ years of content to the globe in about a year and make some extra cash for development on the next title.
I play about 2 hours a week, about all I find enjoyable at endgame. There's not much to do other than keep up with mission pass and level other classes, but considering the main gameplay loop isn't enjoyable I could only bare leveling 2 classes to max. Combat is fun and character customization might be the best in any MMO out there, but that's all it has going for it. Play it, level to max, get your end game gear and then join the casual club otherwise you're bound to get burned out. My alliance has mostly moved over to FF14 and PSU:Clementine since outside of UQs there really isn't any worthwhile multiplayer content. I'm hoping that at some point they'll improve things, but if they do it's going to take many years and who knows if this game will still be around by then.
I think RIGHT NOW (as of 8/19/22) this is a good time to get into PSO2. Atleast it has been for me lol I started playing a month ago, Brand New, and only played NGS to this point. If I ever get bored with NGS Grinding, I’ll switch over to Base and play that lol but there’s quite a bit of new content or content I still can do. The New Trainia, Ark Records for solo GL, Purple Triggers, Grinding for Add-On Skills & Making Kaizaar Weapons. (probably only doing 2 😂)
@@Misfit626 content is running around in a circle for hours upgrading gear just so you can do the same thing FASTER. Game actually sucks dick. Thx sega
@@suzuya0 i mean, the base is still there, clearly NGS was meant to be a new game, which right now i am enjoying just for its gameplay, but can't blame the game for not having content when it just came out, pso2 base has like a decade worth of content but, i agree, it should've been a pso3 but hey it is what it is
Ya I haven't played pso since 1 on the dreamcast qand having played this for about a month I'm enjoying it but it's lacking big time I'm already at lvl43 with less then 20 hours of playtime but I at least am enjoying my time. Like you I hope we have more content in the future
Wait a minute, this is the first time I'm hearing that it's coming to PS4 and in just 6 days! That's great! No reason not to play it then! I was considering buying Xbox Series X for exclusive games, including this and Starfield. But that can wait.
I am having a blast on ps4. Its for sure worth playing. I like the story so far. Im in the desert area. The combat is fantastic. I am a dreamcast phantasystar player.
Would other plants help I wounded this I want to get into the game but idk I see people complain about the content but like I see pso2 as a Syfy anime game and well I want space stuff I regret not playing it when it first came out
Imagine if they just improve and kept improvise PSO2 CLASSIC. Sega man. They're so stupid. I'm actually upset at what they did to my favorite game. All my friends quit. Guild disbanded. Been playing since 2015 and I quit bc it's awful now
Haven’t played NGS after maxing out all classes at lvl20. The original PSO2 was the game I played for the longest time, and it meant a lot to me as a person. It’s sad to see what NGS has become after all the original hype 🥲 Every once in a while I still feel the urge to login, but it’s mostly just for nostalgia and my pretty outfits. I remember hopping on the original PSO2 when EP2 was released in Japan, and feeling so moved by and invested in the story. It was a life changing experience. Now the game barely has any story…
I liked pso2 UNTIL NGS. I was so excited for PSO2 for the countless years it wasn’t released in NA. Then it came out finally, content was rushed, and then they destroyed the very reluctant “gift” they finally gave to NA with the release of NG.
so what happens to your character if you haven't logged in since before new genesis was released? is the original PSO2 content just gone at this point?
It's still there and you can play PSO2 if you want to. You use the same character for both games. All it requires is few clicks and a loading screen to swap between the two.
“If you really just wanna play phantasy star yeah you can get in and you can atleast have fun for a few weeks, there’s enough STORY CONTENT for that to happen”. Lmao please tell me you don’t think the story content is why majority play this game. OhhhH no
@@williamknox6648 i don't think that's what he said. he was talking about NGS specifically. then again, i'm not im, so i can't exactly put words in his mouth
PSO2's story wasn't great but it at least had fun characters that people enjoyed. NGS has to have some of the worst characters/character development I've seen.
@@williamknox6648 No, but they need to have gameplay content to make up for it, and NGS doesn't, it's content is stale and pointless and nothing you do has any serious progress with daily lockouts for materials and the baffling decision to keep personal shop locked behind premium. But hey, they can release 4+ gacha banners in between gameplay content updates.
When you need premium to fucking sell something the free to play isn't really free and if your grinding free to play it's a long boring grind I'm at two hundred hour's so ya I played it, you could sell it on the market and get a good price or stay free and sell a million dollar item for 40 or 50 bucks, lol I'll stick with BDO at least you know your being fucked but the market is free.
That's only if you don't get sunk cost fallacy from it. What you say is true but it's similar to saying that you're not in danger for going to a dark alley just because you didn't get jumped. Bit extreme, I know but still
I agree with all of you but mainly with Victor. I enjoyed the hundreds of hours I spent on pso2 as a free player! AFTER attempting to download the game bricked my poor 7yo gaming computer. It ignited me to build a new $1.5k pc so I can play with my friend. Spending that much thanks to a game is ofc my doing but pso2 still bricked my ex-pc
No. Y tampoco lo recomiendo. Los desarrolladores parecen ver más por sacar dinero fácil que por realmente hacer un juego divertido y con múltiples opciones para llevar a cabo en un juego de mundo abierto. Agregando que desde el día uno debió ser un juego con gran cantidad de cosas por hacer (cosas divertidas). El juego te vende cosas brillantes como si fuera oro, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. Es un juego estancado en lo monótono y con una historia para c...rte en ella. Y como punto final, pero no menos importante: ¿BODY TYPE-1 & BODY TYPE-2? Ma.... pro...-- asfdaasfgres.
Wait so PSO2 and PSO2 NGS are 2 different games? I remember I played PSO2 when it was released on the windows store, the game was great but the release itself was BAD. What happened to it? Well nvm 😅thanks for the video you saved me weeks of grind 👍

so what happens to your character if you haven't logged in since before new genesis was released? is the original PSO2 content just gone at this point?
It's still there and you can play PSO2 if you want to. You use the same character for both games. All it requires is few clicks and a loading screen to swap between the two.
I love this game
To answer your intro question
No
Played ngs for a day and login back to the original pso2 ....
Still nowhere near a game I can recommend people. The grind formula ATM is not interesting enough atm.
This game needs to add more abilities or something to spice up gameplay. Most stale exp I have had in a whole with mmos
As right now. No, maybe in 2023 the game will stop sucking so hard.
Coping
So just like ESO? If this is bad never play most MMOS you will get sooooo mad.
I definitely saw a cute anime girl and wanted to check this game out 🤣
I play New Genesis for the sexy girls and the combat - even if it is somewhat homogenized.
“If you really just wanna play phantasy star yeah you can get in and you can atleast have fun for a few weeks, there’s enough STORY CONTENT for that to happen”. Lmao please tell me you don’t think the story content is why majority play this game. OhhhH no
I didn't say that at all. People don't play it for the story. The symptom of a game that sucks.
So games that dont focus on the story suck?
@@williamknox6648 i don't think that's what he said. he was talking about NGS specifically. then again, i'm not im, so i can't exactly put words in his mouth
PSO2's story wasn't great but it at least had fun characters that people enjoyed. NGS has to have some of the worst characters/character development I've seen.
@@williamknox6648 No, but they need to have gameplay content to make up for it, and NGS doesn't, it's content is stale and pointless and nothing you do has any serious progress with daily lockouts for materials and the baffling decision to keep personal shop locked behind premium. But hey, they can release 4+ gacha banners in between gameplay content updates.
When you need premium to fucking sell something the free to play isn't really free and if your grinding free to play it's a long boring grind I'm at two hundred hour's so ya I played it, you could sell it on the market and get a good price or stay free and sell a million dollar item for 40 or 50 bucks, lol I'll stick with BDO at least you know your being fucked but the market is free.
Dude sounds just like me! Sonic games are ass! I been a fan for 22 yrs
It's a free game and doesn't have a subscription. I don't lose anything from playing it or not playing it.
That's only if you don't get sunk cost fallacy from it. What you say is true but it's similar to saying that you're not in danger for going to a dark alley just because you didn't get jumped. Bit extreme, I know but still
@@victornguyen1175 Still a better and cheaper game than ff14. Imagine spending $60 + expansions + $12 a month for a visual novel afk simulator! 😂 😂
I agree with all of you but mainly with Victor. I enjoyed the hundreds of hours I spent on pso2 as a free player! AFTER attempting to download the game bricked my poor 7yo gaming computer. It ignited me to build a new $1.5k pc so I can play with my friend. Spending that much thanks to a game is ofc my doing but pso2 still bricked my ex-pc
@@peachparee7647 Imagine having friends to play with, can’t be me.
@@cartoonvideos5 Do ya play league of legends? My user is dy 1n
2024 update
Game still bad
SEGA refused to make the game good
Rip, Elden Ring great tho
@@knightspartan7201 Oh it is. Worth even more in that game.
Was horrible at launch. Uhg
No. Y tampoco lo recomiendo. Los desarrolladores parecen ver más por sacar dinero fácil que por realmente hacer un juego divertido y con múltiples opciones para llevar a cabo en un juego de mundo abierto. Agregando que desde el día uno debió ser un juego con gran cantidad de cosas por hacer (cosas divertidas).
El juego te vende cosas brillantes como si fuera oro, pero nada más lejos de la realidad.
Es un juego estancado en lo monótono y con una historia para c...rte en ella.
Y como punto final, pero no menos importante:
¿BODY TYPE-1 & BODY TYPE-2? Ma.... pro...-- asfdaasfgres.
True and real
@Tanya Shosa try Guild Wars 2
The word is autonomy. You're welcome.
Wait so PSO2 and PSO2 NGS are 2 different games? I remember I played PSO2 when it was released on the windows store, the game was great but the release itself was BAD. What happened to it? Well nvm 😅thanks for the video you saved me weeks of grind 👍
