its already shutting down
Luther and Shiva should've won if that's what NGS became.
Luther and Shiva were right all along,
Frick Sega
Kek
ass too small
PSIV was the last true PS.
A dev leaked that it was shutting down soon-ish on the official discord
That also might be why Gwiz left as the main CM. Sega wanted to keep them.
>Sega wanted to keep them.
SEGA really is moronic
Keep in mind that's pure speculation, but it's the only thing that makes sense to me.

yup. talk about literally anyone else you want. mention ***z and you win a surprise vacation.

who?
Didn't Gwiz leave to be a CM on Hyenas?
thread meme
This was my alliance during PSO2's Global run. I think this was around Episode 3 or 4. Not sure.
Here's what was left of them one month after NGS' launch
I miss my alliance too, brother. I don't have any of the full alliance screenshots saved on my PC anymore, but god they were so cool.
If anyone here was in Toblerone, you guys were real ones.
Did this game ever get any real content at all.
It got open zones with nothing to do with them besides grinding for an ultra rare weapons that would be made irrelevant next patch. Also Dark Falz Aegis and Solus were added I guess
Good. I'm glad I was right in dropping this. My homosexual friend continued to play it and do dailies every single day without fail while complaining how soulless it was.
Your content is slapping the same enemies you fought before 1-2 years ago but with more HP.
They make to much money from scratch tickets to ever shut it down
This. They already announced that they won't be releasing any major story content for at least 2 years. That means no new NPCs, no new enemies, no new places to explore. Any other MMO would die but this game has just enough fashion-addicted idiots that will still spend hundreds each month on w/e bullshit fashion gacha they push out. It's a fashion simulator now more than an actual game. Which is a shame since I enjoy the NGS combat. Most MMOs have boring click-and-wait combat or hotkey spams. This one feels more interactive.
I hate how this game killed PSO2. NGS is literally cancer.
its funny because Sega tried so hard to kill PSO2 to push people to NGS but it had the opposite effect where they killed both PSO2 and NGS.
>release ngs alongside pso2
>new games are always lacking in content, but new players could play pso2 while waiting for more ngs content
>instead they kill pso2 and don't release any content for ngs, leaving both games to die
How the company is still alive with smart business decisions such as these is beyond me.
>Introduce star gems and a confusing story where Earth is somehow connected to Oracle that was only "good" because of how much the characters were walking memes
>Get on the news because you put the Imperial Seal on Yamato and you have to beat up Yamato
>Have a huge gap between Mother and Deus Esca's EQs with literally nothing to do
>Introduce a busted class that fricked up balance for the game, a shitty quest type and an isekai world that looked ugly and only served to serve as the game's exposition on what happened before ARKS was established
>Make Alis, the first Phantasy Star protagonist look ugly in your isekai story
>Eventually fix the balance but kneecapped Force over Phantom
>Rush the final episode's story because of covid
>Crash the economy with no survivors to pressure people into playing NGS
>Last hurrah was making a dedicated Gunslash class that almost everyone loved
>People still loved PSO2
Imagine making a lot more mistakes than what happened between EP4-6 within the first year.
Ep6 was fine, demoted the previous content manager and put ysok in charge. It was 4 and 5 that was the start of the end and now he's back directing NGS and surprise! Buster quests 2.0 for an entire year (lmao mining defense) and a decaying playerbase yet again.
Seriously the amount of people that quit over back to back isekai bullshit long after SAO stopped being relevant and popular and butchering of the story was pretty intense in JP, but then again Sega is always one to chase a trend too late. Just look at their attempt to become Genshin complete with lifting their chest mechanics for red boxes, and releasing a cel-shader THE EXACT DAY blue protocol was set to launch. They were terrified of it succeeding.
Now they're just coasting on their whales and re-releasing previously free PSO2 furniture and charging money for it in NGS.
Absolutely embarassing.
NA gays deserve nothing, and even less than that. Its because of you and microsoft that JP is now stuck with a fricking battlepass.
I tried to go back to Classic too but god fricking damn its so fricking ugly now with the ruined lighting
No
I've heard it does well enough and Global is a Microsoft and SEGA effort so it may have a couple years more.
lol hell no
it's one of the only things that actually generates income for them still
>every pso2 thread on Ganker becomes a battlefield of trannies and anti-trannies shitposting
Why?
Remember how Ganker always blames trannies for shit going wrong? For once they are right when talking about the global version of PSO2. The troony in question has since been moved to a different position within SEGA and has been replaced by a pedophile that was known to ERP in Goldshire. I wish I was kidding
>For once they are right
>saints row
>hyenas
>pso2ngs
>exoprimal
the troonytrain prints no money. ywnbaw
This thread has stayed mostly on topic with some mention of trannies
because pso isn't for straight people anymore when it has a stamina meter
>some youtuber exposed a troony pedophile ring and they got mad. six weeks straight of schizo and paranoia posting. every anti-troony post in a pso2 thread is flagged / deleted and automatically assumed to be some eceleb fan
>"eceleb"
Syberbolt you're not even trying
right on schedule
I watched his latest vid for NGS. Laughing at the idea of him being moronic enough to try and drag other stupid ecelebs into the NGS rabbit hole, at best all the heinous shit gets dragged into the light for everyone to laugh at it and make Sega actually get off their ass, at worse it will make people think NGS is filled with scum of the earth people and make Sega shut it down effectively killing Phantasy Star
Base Syberbolt got Gwiz fired
>He doesn't know
*gets fired*
Oh no here comes the NGS drama to shit up the thread

I just hope gwiz kills themselves soon
Looking unlikely

Ah ha
i know who he is. When will it be in the game?
10/11 according to

Nepotism runs deep in global, I'm puzzled why they keep the trannies on board, BlackRocks pockets can't be deep enough to gamble one of your oldest IPs over
He's hitting 30 next year so probably soon.
Gwiz is 31
Remember when this was the FFXIV killer?
lmao
it wasn't even PSO2 killer. They had to pull the plug on everything from it to get players into NGS.
wait they killed base pso2?

Thread
You are not allowed into decent society
could be, only trannies and ERPing degenerates play this still so nothing of value lost.
It's insane how the headlines are always just so abysmal, there's no new content planned, the next urgent quest is FRICKING MINING RIG TOWER DEFENSE, AGAIN
there's not gonna be any new classes, there won't be new regions, just limited quests and a bunch of shit nobody asked for and more gacha to milk the whales. holy shit what deranged person thinks players would stick around for this? it's over. it's so fricking over. it's been over for a long time now but it still manages to get worse and worse and sega turns a complete blind eye to it's dying playerbase. Ummm let's do a campaign called "Try buying AC!" that'll pull em in! now give us money!
>there's not gonna be any new classes
What new classes could they add? They already cannibalized Etoile, Hero, Phantom and Luster, putting some of their tricks into the NGS classes.
Those lazy hacks could add back old weapons like claws and handguns
You're right, they're out of classes to ruin from base. All weapon types are covered. They can't possibly do something new, it'd have to use weapons already assigned to another class and be another Hero powercreep situation and... oh god please don't do that SEGA, not again
Class advancements probably
I was hoping we'd get more Photon Arts to expand how the pre-existing classes work, but then a month ago they shot that down by going "YEAH WE DO NOT PLAN ANY PHOTON ARTS, INSTEAD YOU'LL GET A CUSTOMIZATION SYSTEM TO TUNE THE PRE-EXISTING ONES", and it probably won't even be Type Zero style shit.
These devs had a perfectly workable combat system for PSO2 even if it got power creeped to hell and back, and they tossed all of it out and then decided (or lost the resources) to expanding it further worth a damn. It's laughable.
the only players that remain are mindbroken trannies and paypigs that think defending the game is a full time job. Some of these troonies clocked in over 10,000 hours. The game isnt even 3 years old.
>Some of these troonies clocked in over 10,000 hours. The game isnt even 3 years old.
They sleep in their creative spaces doing bed LAs with the game on all night so their playtime gets bloated. Dumb Black person trannies turn your PC off when you sleep, morons
please tell me this isn't real
I play NGS casually and there's troonies in my alliance that do this, yes. A few of them in fact.
No. It's SEGA's most profitable game for 3 years straight. People have been saying
>its shutting down
>an insider said its shutting down
>its losing money its going to shut down
every week since launch, but every SEGA financial report says its propping up the entire company.
they don't have to pay for servers when daddy microsoft provides, of course it would be profitable when they don't do shit
>1700 players
That anon doesn't care about Global.
I have to wonder what the player count is on Xbox or Playstation, since the former still doesn't care much for anime games and the latter was a wet fart of a come-and-go release. I doubt JP is doing much better though, since a big appeal of PSO2 was how being a 2012 game made it super easy to run in net cafes on potato computers, and now this shit barely functions right unless you got a beefy rig (albeit more 2018-2019) with an SSD.
> I doubt JP is doing much better though
Currently doing my dailies on JP4
It's off-hours so everybody but the neets are offline but we're not that much better. Content pops way faster during regular hours and actually gets completed rather than failed by shitters in unupgraded gear like on NA.
What do you need to play JP besides a SEGA account? I'm looking to return but I would rather not go through 100 different hoops to play it.
You'll need a vpn, or you can use the ryuker proxy through pso2 tweaker but I don't really recommend that as slow, unreliable, and it's run by literal trannies that will boot you off of it if you say something they don't like in their discord server.
>xbox
Not gonna reinstall and check the servers but on xbox's built-in system for looking for players to play this game there's only one person. So deader than dead
On Steam, yes. The JP playerbase is much bigger and more loyal and eager to whale because Japanism, they have more ships there as well and chinks play on one of the JP ships I forget which. the western release is actually extremely niche in comparison.
>The JP playerbase is much bigger and more loyal
Huh?
it's hilarious how so many people prop up this idea that JP is doing fine and is sucking down Sega's wiener when the reality is they're probably even more pissed than we are, they just didn't have a community manager hijacking everything to lie to Sega about things being good
Of course they're dissatisfied everyone is. They're more likely to keep playing despite being dissatisfied. That has nothing to do with loyalty. It's like how they will stay at a shitty job their entire lives because muh honor and muh loyalty. It's their culture.
We'll need to wait until January to see how much decline there will be on development plans and available resources.
I'm betting EoS later next year, maybe around summer.
there won't be EoS because servers are on azure cloud sponsored by microsoft and there's still 500 mazed morons who buy $90 worth of gacha every week
So you're saying that $45 000 per week is enough to cover servers, skeleton crew, ones responsible for cosmetics and company's expectations to fund new project?
that's just from global alone
game is way more popular in japan where they have at least 10 times the paypig audience
For $45000 a week you could have 50 Vietnamese devs working on your shitty game plus office rental and still have like 20k left over
frick you sega morons i will not do your mining rig trash and neither will anyone else. they have to have statistics that SHOW that nobody is doing these when they pop up. at most I afk in one by myself to get a clear for the EQ weekly because losing it still counts because baby game padding for sensitive whales. most people would rather do Dark Falz or the Zephetto fight. people prefer boss fight urgent quests, just give us a big ass Starless to fight how is that so fricking hard, literally just make an urgent quest version of Solus or something, what the frick. brainless clown devs led by a bozo director.
PSO was peak PSO.
psp1 was the only phantasy star game i ever enjoyed
you can keep you anime gotta go fast spammy shit, phantasy star died with portable 2 and its gay ass muh dark souls dodge button
Most likely. I just wish we could get a proper Phantasy Star 5 instead of the endless coomer pandering cash shop shit
>playing beyond psobb
you get what you deserve
i liek pso portable 2
>playing ep4
Hideki Kamiya joins Sega and becomes the new director of Phantasy Start Online. What changes?
he blocks everyone criticising the game and nothing changes
>Kamiya
New Episode has a cast of obnoxious superhero types trying to rehash Wonderful 101, it'll totally be popular this time for real you guys.
Every other story mission is a Space Harrier section in an AIS, Urgent Quest is also a space harrier segment.
New "Hero" Class that wields specific Multi-Weapons and has a super sentai transformation gimmick, not unlike a Dark Blast.
Pre-paired Multi-Weapon series to suit this Hero class.
I just want a real new Phantasy Star game already
Would you still want that if it was just like a single player NGS? Be careful what you wish for anon
single player ngs would be better than what's happening to shining but it's not surprising how little you know about actual legacies being trounced, reactionary
qrd what's happening with Shining?
Do you really trust Sega to make a new phantasy star given their recent track record for horrid games?
It's not GaaS so they will never fund a non-"MMO" Phantasy Star. Not even a proper singleplayer mode in one of their MMOs since even the story got such a budget cut despite full motion capture for a handful of scenes.
Jesus imagine telling PSO2 players in like 2017-2018 how much worse it was gonna get.
Sega's imploding
PSO2 died during it's second peak with the global release, for no reason other than the same idiotic directors who fricked up several times prior were in charge again. I was sad when I saw how the last festa event in JP was, it was an unmanned booth with a couple of cardboard cutouts. Years ago SEGA managed to fill entire convention centers with fans, cosplay events, live music shows, they even had cafes dotted around tokyo where you could eat foods from the game and get autographs from VAs and the developers. Nobody likes NGS and what it did to PSO2 except for these random newbies who only get on to argue with themselves or jerk off to each others abominations. A considerably large fanbase has effectively been killed so they can do that.
They're happy with the state of JP PSO2 so it's pretty unlikely to shut down any time soon.
Global? Depends on how many people are left by the time the contract with Microsoft is up.
can someone give me a rundown on what happened to this game because i thought it was good from what ive heard
It’s trying recapture the magic of PSO2 but in an open world, with no content and with a terribly written story that isn’t entertaining like the original game
first a little background: PSO2 was Sega's most successful game ever, things were going great in JP until 2017 with the Episode 5 update, where the director at the time, Hamazaki, suddenly pushed for a shitty isekai away from sci-fi into fighting dragons and orcs right after an episode where we fought on an alternate Earth and had modern anime plot hijinks ensue. With that update came the skullfricking that was adding the Hero class, which was so overpowered that people complained, and the director said "just play hero if you want to compete." Devs had to backpedal, power creep everyone, and it started off a death spiral for the game and IP, while Sega took the response and fricked off in secret with the director to make NGS.
NGS comes out, you have nothing but circling combat areas that don't even have end points or dungeons or anything, just to kill randomly spawning mobs and bosses over and over and over. All the classes and gameplay were super gutted in favor of a literal sprint/double jump for all and counter spam. It wanted to be an open world game, could've competed with Genshin if it was done competently, but it wasn't, and there was nothing to do after like.. a day to three of play besides circling areas and randomly spawning weather-based super versions of the same bosses.
Besides urgent quests that have a tiny handful of unique bosses and just supercharge pre-existing ones, and adding instanced content to cut your teeth on for weekly grinding along with 3 more regions, that's still all that really happens, except now you spam one piece of content every single day. No one likes it anymore, it's boring, it's dull, the game has rampant issues everywhere, monetization has gone through the roof, and the fundamentals suck ass while the Global community is a cesspool of garbage on a dying, sinking ship.
> until 2017 with the Episode 5 update
It was declining since Ep4, a lot of people weren't happy about "you're just a video game lololol" to tie in with their failure of an anime release because they were really hopeful about riding that Sword Art Online wave (two years late)
Ep5 was just hmzk doubling down on his moronation as usual, with the Hero shitfest ruining the gameplay on top of the story.
NGS also had so much shit missing. Player rooms/housing were absent until two years later, and the dev response to people requesting it made it seem like it never even crossed their minds until people wanted it. The Casino that was fun to dick around in was absent and will never see a new version. The new social hub safetown area shit was tiny ass shit where no one uses anything but the basic main road (and there weren't even sitting spots for the fricking benches and chairs at launch, you just had to emote on them). Even almost 2 and a half years later they've mostly patched QoL menu features and shit on top rather than actually fix the severe lack of anything to socialize about but people hanging at the spawn spots. And they even disemboweled progression; PSO2's plot was 100% optional, NGS's plot is mandatory but like a really fricking short anime episode every time it comes out and then you have to wait several months for the next 10-30 minutes of progression for plot that sucked total ass.
Yet the game itself will feed you millions upon millions of EXP just to make sure everyone can catch up to the latest shit and then give you frick all for gearing because the gearing game sucks.
>All the classes and gameplay were super gutted in favor of a literal sprint/double jump for all and counter spam
I'm still livid at how gutted Ranger was in NGS, especially rifles when that had a PA for every type of boss and weak spot in PSO2. I don't think launchers got that ring passive either in NGS that made all their attacks hit like you're attacking a weak spot.
Nope, and we also regressed in design because we don't have the WB ring skill that made it hit where you targetted and not in a trajectory. They could have made it a passive in the skill tree but no.
I miss my launcher uppercut pa, no matter how bad it was it gave me the most joy to just wack enemies with my launcher
Some of my friends became whales who started screeching at anyone who questioned NGS even though all they do is idle in Central City all day and buy outfits.
I lost actual friends over this abomination and I'll never forgive it.

Somehow they surpassed how fricking awful the handling of PSU NA/EU 2 decades prior.

Unironically, they're kept alive mostly by merch sales of things they don't even own
It's not their only SUPER GAME, last year had plenty of people talking about plans for GaaS reboots of Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi.
But they're definitely dead when whatever scared Sega into killing Hyenas scared the shit out of companies like Epic.
>spoiler
What do you mean?
A lot of similarly disastrous announcements have been made by companies other than SEGA today, except he's attributing it to a single root cause instead of thinking for a couple seconds to realize it's the financial quarter.
How the frick do you even make something like Crazy Taxi into a GaaS?
>Crazy Taxi Online
>Mostly a GTA Online knockoff but without guns
>Persistent big city focused on making deliveries, both personnel and products
>Races and time trials, also running from cops / cargo thieves
>Constantly enhancing and custom detailing your Taxi / Truck with cosmetic bullshit
>Can also go on foot, using rollerblades/skateboard because it's also a Jet Set Radio GaaS as well
Wow, that sounds horrrible
Mafia City clone but you run a taxi depot
Why doesn't SEGA just make Creative Space: Quest Edition?
They can feature quests made by players every single week and award the creator SG or something. It would basically fix the content issue.
too much work, not enough budget
they had to literally delay Leciel Exploration, the current endgame "standing quest" for an entire month, because making Creative Spaces were all hands on deck- and now they're just updating pre-existing stuff very, very slowly (4 months just to add new enemies and a warp item to Retem) while they triple down on Creative Space parts and themes plus Alliance Trees.
If they used some money the use to buy and make other games, they could fix the game really quick
But SEGA loves to make a mess everywhere
If they put literally anyone else in charge as director the game could be fixed in a couple of months. A monkey could do better than him just commanding the underpaid sega lackeys with chimp noises. He hurts the game so actively it's insane. I honestly wish he'd drop dead.
Same
Yet the unreal nepotism and incompetence within SEGA will keep sustaining that idiot until the company falls or he dies
Just part of it
>The story is still hot garbage
>Gameplay is still slow, floaty and boring
>The world is still empty and useless
>The characters could just be not there at all
Theres a "leciel puzzle training" room on JP, its pretty cool actually.
Any free VPN with a japanese node, they're not strict about it it's basically just a half-assed requirement by whatever deal they had with Microsoft since they went 8 years without it until the NA buyout.
I quit ngs out of disgust for gwiz.
Weak willed beta men like you kneel to /ourgirl/
Not even wendy's wagies are kneeling that shit
>Everlyn
Based women slamming the troons into the floor.
I fricking hope so. I don't want another F2P PSO game ever the frick again. Just make that shit like Monhun where you buy the game, can play offline or online and have events. No more live service shit I'm done with it.
Remember when costumes weren't consumables, and you could trade your old ones that never got revivals?
remember having to add money to your account to be able to store clothes because they took up inventory slots
Worth the tradeoff. Being able to sell old shit meant that older items were easier to obtain.
Or, you know, they could have just made costumes not take up inventory slots.
It was a single purchase
Or you could use gems
Having clothes as items was better
Making all clothes one-use tickets basically contributed to ruining the market.
Creative Space seems pretty free form, but I am not learning all the autistic intricacies of it. I enjoy decorating my FFXIV personal house more, and that games housing is a fricking disaster.
>ffxiv housing
>need to use glitches that are against the tos and 3rd party plugins to do literally anything
as shit as ngs is, it wins here. you don't need to win a lottery to have a creative space either, everyone gets one.
test
Either remake PSO or make a proper PSO3 game that isn't a fricking MMO.
It's crazy how Monster Hunter, a franchise inspired by PSO, is printing billions while SEGA can't figure out how to replicate it. PSO should've never moved away from being a methodical dungeon crawler.
>remake PSO
No, they would frick it up and ruin it.
>make a proper PSO3
No, they would frick it up.
ok can we just get a new PSO game at all
No, not with the current people in charge. They had their golden goose with PSO2 being phantasy star's equivilant of FFXIV, but they wrung it's neck and shat on the corpse to follow the open world trend years after everyone else solved the formula.
Well...can we just get a Phantasy Star...not online?
No, Rieko Kodama died last year so the art wouldn't be there and the original team isn't even a thing at SEGA anymore. It hurts to say but let go anon, Phantasy Star is a sunk ship anon.
frick
No, you will live to see NGS Eos and Phantasy Star be shelved before you even see the bastards at Sega re release PSO or any PS after it on pc
Nobody can agree on what made PSO great though. I enjoyed the dungeon crawling and I think instanced dungeons is the best for Phantasy Star if they aren't going to do anything unique with the overworld, but I appreciated the story and atmosphere as much. I liked that you were investigating why an entire pioneer ship of people went radio silent and are missing from the planet, following Rico's bread crumbs. It's spooky ambiance. I liked that the other NPCs had interesting quests ongoing with the main plot, Kireek is iconic because of his scythe questline. I want my JRPG to do JRPG things.
PSO3 should have nudity and sex. They're already selling sex to erp addict trannies already. Why not go all the way and make it a big hentai game? Sex update WHEN
Hopefully they EoS it soon, let's hope they learn from their mistakes and stop pandering to homosexuals, RIP Digger.
crazy to think Capcom is the most hated game company in Japan and not SEGA
what did capcom do to piss the japs off?
it's probably just because they're an actually relevant company and being pissed at sega for so long is just tiresome.
they had YSOK they has GODlike ep 6, but instead the made THIS, FRICK OFF
YSOK kept a job, but he's like some fricking item design lead, which tells me he probably doesn't have much shit to do or say at all given how fricking awful the itemization is in this game
He was promoted back up to a new role since. As of the Ver2 update.
Why does sega have to be moronic?
alright shills off to /vg/ now. your kind is not wanted here
Everyone ITT is shitting on the game
When SEGA and Atlus merged, SEGA shut down Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine as they only wanted one mmo and Imagine didn't print money for them the way PSO2 did.
Fast forward to last year, SEGA suits went out of their way to shut down an Imagine private server, ReImagine, and of course refuses to re-release the game in any form. My favorite mmo of all time was Imagine, and I was having a great time in the private server. I've also been a long time player of base pso2. That's two of my favorite games of all time that SEGA went out of their way to kill and rape it's corpse. Can anyone here relate to how screwed over I feel, how much I fricking despise this company and can't stand what they do?
You know there's a private server for that right? It came out just before NGS.
Please read an entire post before replying to it. Thank you.
Damn that's sad.
>Can anyone here relate to how screwed over I feel, how much I fricking despise this company and can't stand what they do?
Yes, SEGA have consistently fricked up time and time again with premature EoS/Maintenance modes for PSO, PSU and now PSO2. This on top of completely abandoning their beloved IPs that are not Sonic. The feeling is more mutual than you think.
Rieko is dead and Naka is in jail for insider trading. What a timeline we live in.
>Naka is in jail for insider trading
He got a suspended sentence actually, but whatever career he may have had in the game industry after Balan (if he even had any at that point) is pretty much over.
>Can anyone here relate to how screwed over I feel, how much I fricking despise this company and can't stand what they do?
If you were here for Phantasy Star Universe, you'd probably have wanted to rip their hearts out and commit a ritual sacrifice.
Why do you keep making these weekly threads? You already know the answer
>advertise the game as a scifi hack n slash with mechs and technology
>its just coomer shit
>the graphics are fricking ugly and the characters look like anime mascot costumes.
this shit should be illegal how false its advertising is
It's partly the playerbase's fault. They could be anything, but they chose to be titcow fat assed anime girls.
Happens when a game is gacha.
for every sony/nintendo/valve/Microsoft doom thread, there will be an sega one composed of laughably embarrassing shit from antisonicbros making headcanon fiction that lizuka cried or sum shit about whitehead not installing more reused levels to ensure the nostalgia crack licking trend of the 2010s wasn't moronic enough
>just your everyday chat in a city hub
on jp nobody talks in lobbies. overly polite culture plus english speakers not wanting to encroach on japanese speakers. talking in all chat in english there is likely to get you blacklisted instantly, not only by jp that don't welcome english speakers, but by english speakers that think you're a moron for talking in all chat. it's very different.
Bullshit they're chatty as frick over here
Its just conversations between people, not spewing nonsense into the void (usually)
You must be thinking of the old days of b7 and all that. There is no equivalent of that in ngs. all b7 troons switched to global when it released. All the populated lobbies are either dead silent or might have some chatter in japanese.
I'm not talking about westoids i'm talking about "nobody talkes in lobbies"
Also i'm on ship 4, not 2's cancerous pit
If you mean chatter in japanese then yeah they're plenty chatty amongst themselves but they'd never say shit like this
Do global troons not know that whispers exist or are they just so far gone that flagrantly talking about fetishes is the norm
it's the same playerbase as na xiv.
>coomer talk 24/7 vs dead silence with coomer talk in whispers
MMO's will never go back to the good old days, frick.
Too bad the game fricking sucks, I really liked playing as a cowboy robot...
Most veterans moved to FFXIV, it's really dead now but the remaining 10% is enough to keep it in the green.
why did xiv become a retirement home for old pso2 players? they're doing the same shit there anyways, a lot of fricking nothing, and fricking.
It's where all the trans kids hang out.
>devs that care
>more lenient rules
>a lot more people to interact with instead of the same 5 morons causing drama
>devs that care
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>more lenient rules
right, ERP is legal, I remember that official statement.
>a lot more troons to interact with
so people just flock to whatever's popular with mmo's and will blindly defend what enables them, sounds about right.
>durr they dunt say it so it unlegal hurr!
show me one person who got banned for ERP, that's what lenient means gay
cry about trannies on your dead echo chamber for all I care
I wasn't being sarcastic mate, they literally said you can erp in xiv as long as it's in private and consensual.
He's making fun of you because you actually care about ERP being allowed you doofus lmao
It has more mods for fetish shit
the only reason you'd keep playing PSO2 is because of ERP or degeneracy shit
XIV has a more active modding scene and better tools for that shit
PSO2's gameplay was really good, anon. I'm not even joking, the MPA quests where you had 3 parties of 4 and had to kill bosses or complete objectives were really fun. I played a techter, specifically te/et or te/ph depending on the fight and I really liked it.
a certain plugin turned xiv's western community into modern day second life.
SEGA deserves everything bad coming at it
final troontasy is just as bad as pso2 tbh
both are degenerate japanese games filled with coomers that are basically on maintenance mode with nothing to do
xiv trooners pretend their game is better because yoshipiss fake crying and because more people play it
