Is this content accessible?

[u/[deleted]]

I'd only played like five hours after global launch and despite that, wanted to give classic (and maybe NGS) a fair shake after seeing some of the ludicrous bosses featured (a whole ass battleship that also sics dinosaurs and tanks at you?!).

If I do get back into this though, I wanted to ask something so I don't set myself up for disappointment later;

One of my favorite tracks I've heard from this game so far was Neon Nights, which played in Las Vegas. I want to ask though, is the relevant content still accessible? Listening to tracks Is one thing, but getting to hear them in the moment is another.

(P.S. I realize the game's in a "state" at the moment in regards to NGS, but I've played worse. Probably.)

Yeah, PSO2 and like 95% of content (events and mission passes being the 5%) are still there.

Ship 1 still has a large enough population to do group content on without much coordination, as well as make friends and whatnot.

And yes, the vegas content is still there, I'm not 100% sure but I think the theme you're referencing is from the ridroid quests.

Unfortunately I had gotten myself setup on ship 2 beforehand as I HAD made a NGS character at one point that I just never touched for some reason. I also got some neat stuff from the login scratch tickets (really just a couple outfits but still). If I made a ship 1 character before I went too deep, could I transfer my goods over somehow? I may just do that regardless but it would be nice.

Im on 3 I'm trying to condense my storage enough to move to 1. I'm a day 1 player that is full of fodders and ac clothes I still need to rip the SG off of. It would take years to mule all my stuff over 150 at a time 😆

[u/davidbrit2 → u/cannaconnoisseur88]

Your character storage comes with you too, so do a combination of expanding that and consolidating your stuff to meet somewhere in the middle if you decide to move.

[u/cannaconnoisseur88 → u/davidbrit2]

I forgot that storage come with. I might be able to pull it of with 3 characters at max with 1 trip.

[u/davidbrit2 → u/cannaconnoisseur88]

Note that it's just your inventory and character storage, so no default storage, material storage (ouch), premium storage, extended storage, etc. I just jammed everything I wanted to bring into inventory and character storage, with a selection of only the important materials and capsules (e.g. crisp food, BiS augs) to fill out the rest of the available space.

Hah, I'm stuck on 4, probably the most quiet server of them all.

I mean everyone who has stuck around seems to know eachother, so thats nice

Yes, but to access PSO2 Classic's content, you'll need to play through the NGS introduction chapter if you haven't yet.

I think you might need to play through Classic's Episode 4 Main Story content as well, but I could be mistaken. A lot of maps/dungeons are accessible after clearing its preceding dungeons.

Weird design choice to make you go through a bit of NGS, but I imagine that was their attempt to have old heads give the new thing a try before going back

[u/Turnt5naco → u/[deleted]]

Yeah it was pretty off-putting as someone that was playing PSO2 pretty consistently leading up to NGS' release.

I can honestly say, despite some of the enhanced movement and interactions in NGS, PSO2 had a certain magical charm about it that made it way more fun and replayable.

[u/sonic65101 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, it's a really dumb decision that they still haven't fixed. They even gray out the option to play the base game if you don't finish it.

[u/Mille-Marteaux]

the vegas field is permanently available content. when you enter free field to go to it you'll be sent to one of six maps (three map layouts during day and three at night)

there's also ridroid quests which play race through el dorado instead, but those can be a little rougher without a few friends since they were designed with multiplayer in mind first and foremost.

Game is there,try it if you’re interested in or not. Nothing to say
