I highly disagree that the endgame is any different or more than it's ever been. it's still just the meta people farming for bis augments while everyone else does their dailies or ltq and gets bored. There's 0 actual endgame activities or loops to do other than farming and upgrading which is basically the whole game is anyway. I still enjoy the fashion and playing with friends, but imo if someone quit the game a year ago they're just going to end up feeling the same way if they come back.

[gshorter]

I’ll come back, when and if we leave that planet.

[Rei_Tatekei]

There needs to be an easier way to get more augment protections as a F2P

[kagerisu]

I don't like that NGS Devs decided to kill off the open-world aspect of NGS. There's no reason to explore the field, unless you haven't already explored it. They started introducing quest counter-based Leciel and Nameless City, which have nothing to do with open-world. If they introduced minigames like Fishing to the game to make use of all the unused water areas in the game, that would help revitlize the open-world aspect of NGS.

NGS still feels like a CBT game due to how barren the world is and to me that will always be its biggest negative.

[joeresio]

Lol… when folks only talk about meseta and selling 80% of the time, it’s extremely off putting for a lot of players.

No.

As long as they force f2p to only have one shop ticket per month is not easy to recommend the game. There's no reason to worry about bots infestation when the only way for a f2p to make money is to farm like one.

Also I would rather have them spread base camo and accessories as drops from quest and tittles than limited reward boxes.

[BigBigTrigger]

They should add a dungeon that has 999 floors like Nioh for endgame. Each floor gets increasingly hard, or boss gets stronger if you play with a group.

[RouxBeard]

New genesis killed PSO as a franchise. It looks 20 years dated, no loop content and a story that makes 0 sense.

I loved the days of PS Universe but they are gone and the developers have failed to see this.

[TRILLuminati]

I think the fact that after saying NGS has improved alot, you have to pivot straight to 'it has the new MARS system' is most telling considering that is jus released and is easy bait to get people to come back. I quit playing like 2 1/2 weeks before the MARS was added have never been happier i started playing other games and MMOS. I think most (not all) NGS Content Creators are bad faith actors that jus want to reap the benefits of their channel and connections made off it. So while they click up and get secret trades, deals and buffs for their specific builds, all the FREE TO PLAY players are left slaving away for content that they will never get the way the content creator they watch gets it. So i'd say this game needs alottt more changes before i come back, and i was someone who played liked 10-14 hours a day, everyday, chasing all content. If its even considered content considering its usually a recycled UQ, or a recycled zone, or recycled Armor/Weapons.

I just finished downloading the game and playing for a couple of hours and suddenly realized, "ah, this is why I don't play this game anymore". I don't say this game is bad. But the repetition makes me get bored so quickly. So, I have tried to love this game again. But, yeah. Maybe next time

[kashesk]

This game has nothing worthwhile to do which breaks my heart. I love the feel of combat and the anime style fashion/ art style but there’s literally nothing worth doing. Been playing since NGS first dropped and the hamster wheel of upgrades and becoming BiS inevitably become pointless 😢

[NinTheLost]

No. There’s literally nothing to do. If you want to play dress up simulator with extra steps then sure, but it is nowhere near as good as base PSO2 or PSO1.

[DulksVenee]

Is it worth coming back/starting this game now? I'd say it depends on your play style. If you only sink 1-2 hours a day, then yes, it's worth it. If you like to spend most of your game time on a single game and play solo, then no. However, if you have friends to play with, then yes.

This video popped onto my frontpage somehow, I've played NGS for 1200+ hours since release but quitted like 2 years ago. Maybe I'll give it a try again next week after the new patch comes out. But hearing that endgame grind...yikes, at least I'll finish the main story and see if I wanna continue 😊

[nojkoor]

I have a cool braver ex combo. Sign Shielding, Fortune Sign, Gradual Pressing. Sign shielding gives me a defense boost against enemies and means I can always use resta. Fortune Sign means I can often use resta for free. And with a Braver class skill (Resta Sign PP Gain) I get photon power whenever I use resta. In summary I have high HP, defense, and photon power often at the push of 1 button..."Evil Laugh" (I can also down enemies and resurrect others at a good rate. These support skills are cool, but don't warrant the laugh)

[HangGrenade]

Imma be real, i played up to the first story chapter after the Starless reveal. I realized there was no new class on the horizon(specifically a Phantom adjacent class) and that we were still gonna be stuck on that same damn planet and I just gave up. I was the only member of my alliance that still played and we'd been together since base game launch. Ive not seen anything that would entice me to come back. Maybe in a few years, should it last that long.

[redlion]

2nd chance? Ive goven it 20 chances and its the same dookie-aah money grab its always been. Minimal effort on content, pumping out ac scratches, recycling assets. Its imvu 2.0. the creative space is aight tho...

[dominicevans]

Slayer/Braver combo is so fun, it’s what I play. Nameless City was a great addition but it needs more content to it.

[llmitsull]

End game is still the same as 2 months ago to same as a year ago.
