Ya know, for a game that has an “open world” they really lost the focus on it. There no longer any reason to traverse or utilize the open world space other than gathering minerals and fast traveling to farming areas. Really saddening honestly. This game has damn near endless potential and it’s all being squandered for AC scratch collabs for quick cash grabs and adding a new big boss every 3-6 months. I love this game and have been playing it for the past 5 years but I’m starting to really lose momentum.

#NGSHeadline Some minor improvements and additions I would like to see in the future:
- A search function for selecting emotes when registering to the Lookbook. It currently does not have this, and the order emotes are listed in even differs from when selecting emotes to use in the field, making finding the one a player wants to use far more time-consuming than it should be.
- Allow emotes that change when you press a button to show those changes in Lookbook. Currently, only the first part of these emotes can be shown.
- Allow emotes that reflect equipped weapons to reflect them in Lookbook.
- Make more emotes compatible with ARKS ID.
- When moving parts in Creative Space, they sometimes get resized slightly without notice or explanation. Please prevent this from happening.
- N-Outlandish Bikini.
- More weapon camos that start out invisible (like Verschmelz Almati) or small (like Bio Cellular) until the player draws their weapon. Alternatively, an option that allows weapons to appear invisible until drawn.

Every other gaming studio uploads 4k promo videos but NGS can't handle 1080p @ 60fps without turning into a jpeg compression nightmare. Please up the bitrate, heck.

You should slow down fashion.
Bring up and improve exploration world on what todo.

Main mission
Side quest
Tasks
Need over view update’s
People don’t mind the grind or farming.

However there no replay value, it is not fun it’s very boring
We need enjoyable side missions
Task

Literally turned a great series into a mobile gatcha game ffs.

Dark Falz Vael, in Urgent Quest, with no story? Stupidest idea ever.

[saberbladefang]

12:14 nice It's one of the items that I just missed those items. It's good to see make a come-back.

[lukebeakum]

I'm disappointed there's no story quests

[zeuslightingrod]

I am glad there adding more for pso2ng, but if you ask me there not really thinking about solo players, let alone the free to play players, like me and I have been playing it, since it dropped for free on ps, and it's not easy doing stuff solo. Trying to grind for stuff as a solo free player is not easy and since no one wants to help makes it worse. And this is not a lie either been on ship 2 Ur and have had to everything solo since I have no friends or help, other then forced help.

When will you fix personal shop?
As well when will we get trading?

[trig]

What happened this
Play for hours days weeks months years and no matter what items added to the game
Loot rewards will always be 3* items regardless of how high your rare drop rate is. Or how many times you run the target quest. The drops will remain the same.

#NGSHeadline
I think dark vael should of been released
In story mission then qu and then harder difficulty challenges

It will give progression
As well making us see it’s getting hard.
Letting players know a natural way that the do need to improve gear, this will encourage players a bit to improve weapons and gear.

The reverse way you guy’s are doing it feels like a down grade and why improve

[LongGiang]

Still here for phantom
phantom is love, phantom is life

We need Improvement on the open world exploration zone’s.
Why? Dry season and how long take to developing.

adding (ranking) into open world exploration zones.

Depending on your level as well bp.
It will encourage players to better equipped themselves as well improve growth, and the equality of life.

Monster will get harder overtime.

players will have the option ether improve the difficulty level or leave it as they are.

Giving us a sense of power and control of difficulty in exploration zones.

The harder it is stronger monster’s the greater rewards we get.

It also give you a chance to improve the rewards system also RNG.

No new classes or anything to return for

Sega employee 1: "So we just caused mass inflation in the NGS player market by making a seasonal Cradle, effectively locking casual f2p players out of the feature entirely. what now?"
Sega employee 2, holding a slide for the big bang scratch: "what if we made it even worse?"

[Kira_Orochinagi]

Collab after Collab, game becoming more VR Chat than Phantasy Star, more of same thing from other NGS Head Line and nothing about scion classes from PSO2 Classic.

Sadly they won't hear players and will continue do it the same until NGS dies.

[FuIIDiveVR]

The bitrate is so poor I can't see anything

[narcissistchan]

Crafting for weapons should be cut in half, more playable content needs to be added, as do photon arts and techniques, port some old ones over. I need more co-op content, I just dragged 9 friends into it
