While this doesn’t seem like much, this is a large improvement because they attempted the concept of multi-weapon combos in the original PSO2 with the Hero class, which had one very glaring problem with it. I chose to be a Partisan Hunter this time, but I really like Gunner, Equilibrium, anyone?Ī feature that is new to New Genesis is the Multi-weapon system, which allows you to combine two different type of weapons that will occupy a single weapon slot so you do not have to scroll through the weapon palette to change weapons, which then allows you to basically mix and match Photon Arts, creating combos not unlike the Devil May Cry combos you might come across while browsing YouTube. However, factor in the main/subclass system, and the game allows for pretty interesting class combinations. Every class also comes with the usual skill trees which allow you to make your own unique builds, even though as it now, is there’s not really that much skills in the skill tree for that much uniqueness. Another feature that the game inherits from the original PSO2 is the subclass system, which allows you to….well, equip a subclass, which then allows you to equip the weapons for that subclass and utilize the skills and Photon Arts for their respective weapons in addition to the main class you’re already equipped with. To do that, a per usual in MMORPGs, you are provided with classes, 6 of them, to choose from, each with its own set of specific weapon choices and respective skills or Photon Arts that will likely appeal to various playstyles and with more classes coming on the way through future updates. Unlike what you’d probably think when you hear the word MMORPG (where you’d probably think of something like World of Warcraft), its gameplay can be said to be closer to the more modern actionized MMOs like say Blade and Soul and Black Desert Online where your gameplay will usually revolve around hacking and slashing your way through enemies. One thing that is certain, however, is that New Genesis, like PSO2, is an Action MMORPG. It….certainly doesn’t seem to be an expansion since it seems to be a slightly separate entity and your progress doesn’t really carry over from the original PSO2, but neither does it seem to be a completely new game because under the hood there’s still a lot of the original PSO2 in it even though you can say they’re just jammed into that new engine and you do can transfer over some items (mainly cosmetics) from the original PSO2. So first of all, what is PSO2: New Genesis (from this moment on, let’s shorten that to New Genesis, PSO2:NGS, or just NGS), other than that it’s a Phantasy Star Online MMORPG? It’s pretty hard to describe. That said, in the past year, with the aid of Microsoft, PSO2 has gotten its global second wind and turns out that was just part of their plan to finally release……….Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis! And it’s available for both Japan and the global audience, too! Emphasis on “in Japan” because of its first attempt for a worldwide version failed spectacularly due to the mishandling of the game, with rampant pay-for-conveniences monetization method that plagued the game and pretty much every other free-to-play games at the time, something that isn’t present in the original Japanese version.
The Phantasy Star series, with their online MMOs being the more recent iterations they have released, is another one of those successes the first Phantasy Star Online is still being played in private servers to this day, and Phantasy Star Online 2 became one of the two most successful MMOs in Japan, the other being Final Fantasy XIV.
#Pso2 character creation slots series
Being probably best known for the Sonic franchise, it has ironically been failing to hit the mark in that regard, while oddly being successful in several other of its IPs and ventures, such as the Yakuza series and its acquisition of Atlus which by extension includes the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series.
It is one of the few very well known companies out there that is pumping out games here and there with varying degrees of success that just seems completely random.
