    I'd like to thank HMZK for endlessly draining all my care for PSO2 since he pushed NGS as the future of the game, where scratch tickets and limited events are the entire focus and story continues to take a backseat behind any other ideas the rest of the team work on

    I logged into NGS for the first time in a year just to check things out. It was PACKED! That said people apparently aren't here because PSONGS is good, they are here because everything else is worse. Apparently the gatcha games aren't doing it for a lot of people.
    I don't mind that it is limited time it's just that they aren't doing much permanent stuff. Would really like them to make new concerts... god I miss those. New Aelio areas... can you believe it's been almost 2 YEARS since stia. They so many mostly unused areas too. I miss the space station aesthetic of OG PSO2.
    Least you can still pop into PSO2. Despite it being deserted compared to NGS I love that it is still running. They really didn't have to keep it on. They have that rockin music replacing the main theme right now too. Just wish they rotated all the old concerts.

    but im uneasy with the fact that there is no story updates announced , i hope we get surprise updates at least in mini episodes format.
    PS: get ready to play card games mounting Rappies

    I squealed when Gal Gryphon’s theme started to play during the first half of the July update video. I’ve been wanting Gryphon to show back up for awhile now. I’m hoping it sticks around as a regular enemy after the event ends. I assume that’s what that Drill quest will be that we get trigs for; at least I hope it does.

    That August/September block is one of the most packed segments I've seen in ages. At least Gal Gryphon becomes a trigger after, where it'll stick around. It also seems like Malevolent Aegis is becoming something of an anniversary event quest, returning with higher levels and more up-to-date drops. (Tbf, this is with a sample size of 2).
    I hope the MARS system makes me enjoy the Crimson Realm more because I genuinely don't care for it as it is now. Even if it doesn't though, I'm surprised we're hearing about expanded areas in Stia after all this time. :D
    Masq is easily one of my favorite bosses... basically ever. :D
    I want to know what they're thinking on story too, since there just wasn't a story section on the roadmap (as opposed to an empty one). The MARS system is supposed to come with a bit of story to explain it when it launches. I'd leave a pheedback on the need for info on story plans at this point, but Azr beat me to it, and hit pretty much every point I would have made already. Guess we'll see if they have a response to that eventually.

    Additionally, regarding story, roadmap already skips M.A.R.S related story sequence mentioned by Kimura in Dengeki Interview. So guess we will see when the time comes c: But it kinda leads me to speculate story was not included in the roadmap because we are not getting Story Quests, but instead, probably Task Driven Story, Short-CutScenes, Mini-Episodes and the sorts o: (Chapter 6 Treatment; which only got Story Quests at the start and its end; although they did not name what we got recently as "part 1"; so who knows. guess we will see).

    Interesting that the Gal Gryphon is back as a Ruinus... Which has some interesting implications for it in the PSO2 lore over-all. Ruinus are stated to be made from Falspawn, but without a complete genome, it's hard to say how accurate they are. I initially thought the Gryphons were native to Harukotan, but that it's back as a Ruinus means it may not have been, and was actually a Falspawn? Just what the heck was Luther doing? Why would such a big bird type Falspawn be on Harukotan?.. New mysteries to be sure... I wonder if we'll get answers?..
    As for the story not being mentioned... It would be an awful long time to go without a story update, especially since we just got part 1 of Chapter 7... Could it be they're not mentioning when they plan to release story updates so they don't put themselves under too much pressure and can give the story the time it needs to be as well written as Ch. 7 Pt. 1 was? And when it's ready, that's when they'll release each part to possibly surprise us? My thinking to this is that there's some mystery collabs in the roadmap, usually they say what it is even if just vaguely. To be placing "?"s in there either says they haven't fully nailed it down, or they're trying to really keep us guessing. That and there's gaps in collabs too, HIGHLY irregular. I do think we'll be getting story updates when they're ready as based on what I've researched, base PSO2 is the exception where the level cap is 100 and the game is "finished" there. This despite the final boss having a level 200 version and no way for players to close the gap now. I kind of doubt they'll end NGS so soon with the story ramping up as it is. True, the rumor of a successor to PSO2 and PSO2 NGS being in development is still out there, but when I first heard of it about last year, the rumor said NGS has 5 years left. That's a lot of time still, and it's not often that a gap in the PSO series is greater than a year or two, even if the game doesn't go global. We'll just have to wait and see though.

      @Shawn_Faris 27 днів тому

      I’ve always wondered about Gal Gryphon’s lore. Wasn’t it the result of an experiment by a scientist from the first PSO (Altered Beast if I’m correct)? As for them being native to Harukotan and existing in base game(I remember reading about that as well), how did they get from Ragol to Harukotan? Don’t PSO and PSO2 take place in their own universes/timelines?

    • @strikerevimus
      @strikerevimus 26 днів тому +1

      @@Shawn_Faris I don't know about all of the PSO lore, but based on what I do know, that sounds about right.
      For your question, yes, the games take place in different universes. They do however share elements and concepts. Like Rappies, Techniques, a few assorted monsters and so on. I always assumed, after reading up on it, that the Gal Gryphon in PSO2 was a natural creature that could show up in Harukotan on occasion(It's pretty tame in appearance compared to some bizarre native creatures on the planets of PSO2). Seeing a Ruinus variant though makes me wonder about it's true nature though. Otherwise, I just think of it like one would think of Chocobo from Final Fantasy, Optimus Prime from Transformers, Fox McCloud from Star Fox and various other series that have different timelines. The origins can be wildly different, because different universe, but the natures of such will typically be the same. That's how I view alternative universe things anyways.
