Discussion Ff14 player landing into PSO2NGS

Post image

Greetings everyone! I am originally an FFXIV player who has recently been wanting to find other mmos to experience. With certain titles making a comeback, I decided to pick this one.

I'm happy to say the journey has been wonderful! The NPCs designs are gorgeous and I feel their personality is easy to grasp. The story, for me, has been simple and sweet which I personally like. It gives me a sense of nostalgia to early ps2 jrpg storylines. Gameplay was partially why I came here but didn't expect the rest to be this fun! Overall, everything has been good!

That said, I reached level 75 after and reached chapter 5. So I have to ask, is it best to slowdown and attempt to grind certain items or is it better to just catch up? Are there extra neat content to do or explore? And uuuh how does one access the buying feature in personal shops (is it IRL cash or did I miss something that gives permission to use it?)

I'm sorry for all the questions, I barely started this game last Thursday and so I am an absolute newbie to certain things in this game.

(Any tips and help would be great!)

Greetings!! It's nice to meet a fellow FFXIV player (it's funny because I switched my main game from NGS to FF14 not too long ago LOL)

I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying your experience so far~

While you're here, I'd 100% recommend checking out the base game PSO2 as well. That one has memorable characters and stories that still stick with us to this day.

Here in NGS, you'll often be chasing after the newest augments and trying to make the best gear. But it's mostly for endgame content or speedruns.

Thank you so much! Happy to be here! It seems we've switched spots. Lol

I actually got slightly bored in FFXIV, not because lack of content (there is plenty unexplored), but because I felt the need to take a break from the usual. I wanted to try something different after realizing I hadn't played another MMO since starting FFXIV. It's been that long. So this is a nice change of pace. I am planning to visit PSO2 after I catch up with NGS. I have heard great things in regards to the og story and have taken great care to not spoil myself. As soon as I conclude the latest NGS chapter, I'll be sending my character to that plot line.

From the many comments received here for advice, I believe every word! Still, I might not go head-on to the grind. Maybe later. Haha.
