  • How’s the game since launch? I was so hopeful for it but it ended up just the same very boring fucking cycle of go to event that spawns a billion enemies, repeat, do the emergency event when that exists, back to stupid event things that are all the same.

    • They've added more to do but the main gameplay loop still involves running around defeating enemies and getting loot.

      • Since January 2023 they released the 4th region Stia, as as well as story that goes beyond that. The areas that they've added since the 3rd region Kvaris have their own gimmicks to use. They've not released any new regions since then as they said they want to focus on other parts of the game.

      • There's a new Creative Space feature that allows you to build some very impressive stuff.

      • The class level cap is now 75 and they've added a load of class skills for each class as well as handed out buffs.

      • Since launch they added the Braver (Katana & Bow), Bouncer (Jet Boots and Soaring/Dual Blades), Waker (summons familiars with their Harmonizer) and Slayer (Gunblade) classes.

      • Leciel is a quest they added that changes its layout, obtainable buffs and end boss each day. Running it gives you near-endgame augment capsules for your gear.

      • ARKS Rankings are now run weekly and task you with running existing content to get the highest score or best time and place onto a leaderboard. What this content is varies each week, but it can involve defeating a boss quickly, or completing a Trainia dungeon as fast as you can, or racing on hoverboards. The higher you get on the leaderboard the more ranking badges you get which you can spend on cosmetics, some gear and other prizes.

      • Alliances can now compete in weekly rankings by collecting points from completing Alliance Tasks (which also give Alliance Badges). The best Alliances are rewarded with Meseta (the in-game currency).

      • It's not really a feature, but downloading the "PSO2" side of the game is now optional if you play the Steam version. It chops 58GB off the total install size if you don't download it.

      There's a load of other features and quests they've added over time that I can't remember off the top of my head. if you haven't played for a long time, I would recommend giving it another try, though pacing yourself is advised.
