this game is infamous for loading the region mag sound from continents away because these devs have always sucked at optimization and were better at instanced games as they re-load everything in a map on every map load, pso2 was the peak of segas own innovation and they ruined it like the idiots that they are

They stopped active development on the game four years ago. It'll stay online until the cost of modeling a few new bikinis every month is greater than the money they get from the handful of whales still playing. Either they've been making a new Phantasy Star game since 2023 and they're going to try again in a couple years, or they're just going to play it out until it's no longer financially viable.

now that phil spenser has called it quits hopefully that will be soon, after gathering all the negative feedback through two player surveys done to ensure it was no fluke, they are almost certainly setting up this story to fail to prove that they can shut the game down
>Either they've been making a new Phantasy Star game since 2023
there is no secret game in development, these dinosaurs want to run this cushy "game" until this series is all burnt to the ground, its basically the largest ponzi scheme
>>2258387
and thats how you get a tourist game that only supports tourists that stop by every few years to see if its improved and nothing else inbetween. if you keep telling people don't like don't play, then everyone follows that and the devs are forced to do endless recycling e.g. alter realm retem because nobody played the content. your entire game is on repeat because of your smartass advice. funny that the player character WOULD be the one to break this sort of cycle, BUT obviously the player character is not the same and we are playing a phony game otherwise that would have happened already.

That's just not how a business works, even one in complete shambles like Sega. NGS was shit from day one, but it obviously had a fully-staffed development team working on it full-time up until the end of 2022, at which point they very obviously pulled off everybody except a tiny skeleton crew that finished some of the in-progress projects (Creative Space, Leciel) before getting shuffled off and wound down further.
AFAIK Sega hasn't made the news by firing a whole development team, so they're still employed, and they're not paying them to do nothing, so they're working on something, and it clearly isn't NGS.

It's very possible that they moved them to work on those Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, etc spinoffs they announced, but they almost might not want to let one of their more historically successful franchises die just because it released one terrible flop.

you might be right that they are giving up development on the game, but it definitely did not start its complete downfall four years ago. after a string of pso2es/sonic collabs nobody cares about as they are part of sega, 2026 started with a cast collab that nobody cares about either. effectively theres been a FIVE MONTH COLLAB DROUGHT ongoing, and because there is only a single collab for april-may and jun-july and aug onwards on the roadmap, there will be TWO and THREE MONTH COLLAB DROUGHT. jun-july might not even count if its sonic shit again. contrary to what the defenders are saying, they are putting even LESS effort into the game. it was never that dire until recently.
>>
>>2258460
You measure the development resources by looking at the content the game is getting, not the cosmetics. Look at how small and half-baked Stia was compared to the first three regions; they obviously decided to pull the plug partway through its development, which would have been mid to late 2022. It then took them more than half of 2023 just to finish Creative Space and Leciel. After that there's really been nothing; Nameless City is cobbled together from existing assets, other additions to the game have just been floating rocks in the old existing areas, different lighting effects, old enemies with a different symbol on their head. The only thing left is, what? Maybe one new Dark Falz fight a year? It's not in active development.

Collabs are just more cosmetics, which don't really require a development team and get replaced with original outfits if there's nothing to do a collab with.
>>
>>2258500
>You measure the development resources by looking at the content the game is getting, not the cosmetic
if nothing is funding or advertising this game, the development suffers as well. its inseparable for this game. despite how much shit people give the fashion, it is the only thing keeping the series alive. the only problem is none of that profit has been channeled into the game and now nothing is funding it.
>It then took them more than half of 2023 just to finish Creative Space
they cited created space updates will depend on the popularity of the mode and it was like 50% or something because duh they didn't even offer a finished product and most pso2 stuff have no sound or are uninteractable to sell paid idle motions.
> It's not in active development.

How come Global is dead while JP still has players in the 5 digit range? What went wrong?
>>
>>2259801
they have a higher tolerance for eating shit I guess
>>
>>2259330
>>
>>2259801
The game still gets marketed to the jp player base where as global's marketing branch has completely given up, and allegedly actively conspiring to sabotage it given the many times they've completely lost the plot and fucked things up from a marketing stand point. It should not be hard to market anime space game to weebs.
>>
>>2259589
The answer is always gacha games
>>2259718
Literally 1984
>>2259801
Jp has 10 years of attachment while global only has 2. They actually think that supporting this shit game is "thanking" sega for pso2.
>>2259848
The real reason is that the japanese are downright vicious and nasty in negative remarks...but only behind closed doors. So sega of japan gets to run a meat grinder machine that many unsuspecting players fall into because the sheep auto silence themselves instead of bleating. Example of absolute vile closed door critism that the devs will never hear:
https://rocketnews24.com/2026/02/24/2653445/
So basically hiro was in effect redundant all along because the japanese generally won't air the dirty laundry on social media out of respect for the company, instead directing other players to use email feedback that goes nowhere. Player number doesn't matter. Turnover rate and whether people stay does. Just because phantasy star disneyland gets visitors everyday doesnt mean that the park is getting good updates. It just means the playerbase has become so geriatric theyd settle for dext base slop even after cradle slop. Tower of Fantasy made scifi anime mmo real again and laid back sfter two years like every gacha game. Sega hasn't picked up the slack at all now that its back to the only anime space scifi mmo on the market.
>>
>>2259901
>Sega hasn't picked up the slack at all now that its back to the only anime space scifi mmo on the market.
Which goes back to the real root problem as far as global is concerned. "How the fuck we undo all of the damage done to make the game marketable to global side of things?" Again it should not be hard to market an anime scifi rpg to weebs, the same shit they use to pander to the Japanese works all the same, so there's really no need to cater to western standards or tastes, that shit was thrown out the window everytime China blatantly shows that by ripping off literally any and all unapologetic Japanese anime tropes known thus far, westerners both weebs and even normies will eat that ahit up no problem. What's been done to pso2 reputation is a serious problem for the game as that no matter how you slice it is a mass access of revenue they need but can no longer properly tap into due to how horrible the reception is and virtually nothing in all that time has been done to fix it. I imagine this notion that "global is unsalvagable" how everyone over seeing this disaster is still holding on to their jobs, but someone needs to call them out on this and tell them "that's bullshit. You had like 4 years to get this under control"
>>
>>2259917
The window to "undo the damage" was the first six months after launch. That chance has been gone for years.
>>
>>2259954
No even after those first six months they still had time hell as >>2259917 even stated, the fact Pso2 by the some unexplained phenomenon, Pso2 is back to being the only scifi anime mmo on the market and really action anime mmo in general means they still could actually be working to fix this mess. It isn't a "they had one chance and they blew it" kinda thing. It's more of "the longer this wild trash fire burns, the more the house gets caught on fire." That's and even worse and more urgent scenario because this effects not just pso2Ngs by itself, but the whole IP of Phantasy star and then even further than that, Sega's credibility itself.
>>
>>2259962
I meant as stated here in>>2259901
>>
>>2259962
No, it's a "they had two chances and they blew both of them" situation.

They had one chance when the game launched, but it flopped.
They had a second chance to say, at some point in the first ~6 months, "We fucked up, and we're going to fix it," presented with a clear plan of action. They didn't do that.

Games don't turn around when they flop out of the gate and then continue doing the things that made them flop for the next year, let alone two years, let alone two years of the same shit followed by drastic reductions in content production. It doesn't matter if it has some unique selling point or particular niche, and it wouldn't make a difference even if Sega somehow decided to restart full production on the game.
>>
>>2259984
>Games don't turn around when they flop out of the gate and then continue doing the things that made them flop
That's basically my point. They have well more than two chances to correct the course, they still get chances even now. But my point is the longer they wait and continue to do shit. In only gets harder and harder and harder to repair the damage. You are dead right they can't just start over completely and make a new game. That was what I meant when I said the longer they keep NGS like this, the worse it will be for any future Phantasy star title.
>>
>>2259999
No, they HAVE to start over and make a new game (if they want Phantasy Star to continue being an active IP, which they may not). NGS will never do any better than it’s doing now, no matter what they do with it.

Repairing the damage doesn’t get “harder and harder.” It starts off hard, and then becomes impossible.

It’s dead. It’s over. It’s long past the point where there’s any damage for NGS left to do to the next Phantasy Star game, if there is one. Nothing they do to it will damage a potential next game any further, and nothing they do to it will make the next game more successful.
>>
>>2260036
Okay so let me ask you this, say they do start over and make a new game. If the same people who ran NGS are still their, the reputation and bad taste NGS left is still there fresh in people's minds with almost nothing that shows a hint of being well managed. Why should anyone give any reason to care about this new game that comes out? As it stands a new process would just be another NGS. If you don't make the changes at NGS, your never gonna make the changes ever because everyone will still point the Dumpster fire you allowed to grow called NGS.
>>
>>2260045
Because this scenario happened with ep5 with the same director and ep6 fixed a majority of issues because you need a new director to truly fix the issues of the previous director. Every year has been an opportunity to turn this game around and each year they rot the series to its core instead. This is why people expect better to begin with and why ngs has been doomed to failure because there has always been better than this and sega should have figured this that people will never be truly satisfied because they know this game could be a hundred times better. People who never went through the actual ep5 era and tourists gatekeep this game from ever improving. Left to run the game for 5 years because they kept painting the critics as doomers and look at what the game has become. Anyone who defends the game has lost all credibility.
>>
Game is shit. Sega doesn't care when they put the retard of ep5 in charge. It's a smoldering wreck relying on memories to keep you around.
>>
>>2260045
They have to start over because this is the failure arc which started with ep4 and ep5. Ep4 was executive meddling demanding they make an isekai anime tiein. When that horribleness failed, they returned to the original ep4 plan in ep5. a horrible interpretation of falz origins. This reboot of pso2 called ngs focused on and acchieved both, it was a shitty isekai and a shitty falz reinterpretation if every leader on halpha is a reincarnation of the previous falz. Ngs is the worst of pso2 given form again that has nothing to do with the space faring arks at all that people played this game for to begin with. Thats why people are saying to scrap it all and start with a new game. Even with the same director which godno should not happen but touch wood it would still be better than ngs even if beset with similar problems because this premise is already beyond fucked because sega learnt nothing from the ep4 ep5 episodes.

>>2260098
>Because this scenario happened with ep5 with the same director and ep6 fixed a majority of issues
Why do you think I keep saying changes need to be done at NGS? That's exactly what needs to happen. A new director and new producer. That's the changes that needs to happen and it needs to happen at NGS to show that going forward their will be actual effort being put into improving games from here on out. NGS is where that point needs to be made because that will show there would an actual sincere attempts being made into actually improving this game and future games, as opposed to scrapping this and jumping to the next as the next lazy cash grab

They had every chance to make sincere attempts but stopped making player surveys after retem and stopped making item design contests using a dumb rainskipper creator drama as a given excuse, which explains why they made the global version, to scapegoat all problems and so many sheeple fall for it. There is no "toxic community", they lump RMT and bots as player toxicity to inflate numbers, and presented cases per month as a lump sum of all cases so far to confuse readers into an impression that they are doing anything active about the game. And this afk detection. Waiting at the eq gather spot like a newbie instead of warping via map? Waiting in an open map for a free field boss with others or gigantix during rainy weather like the start of the game? Get matchmaking sanctioned or banned idiot. Yeah I can see segas implementation of anything going well. Remember expert matchmaking that weeded all the bad players? They don't want to create a better experience. They just don't want to manage the game and would rather automate it to death. Ironic, as this is what they are going after.

That's exactly my point. That whole post is my entire point. It's why I'm saying no one should be asking for a new pso or a start over of anything, before anything else they should demanding public apologies, demanding mass firings and demotions, demanding that Sega and this time finally take this game seriously before even thinking of moving on and trying to sweep away what realistic, when consider the entirety of pso2's life, a 12 year life span of them fucking up what should have been easy money.
>>
Give it a rest there's no way to salvage this game without completely remaking it.
The biggest mistake was keeping it tethered to original PSO2 which is why we're stuck with the awful mechanics and engine from that game.

We should have got a whole new type of PSO game. NGS is just literally base PSO2 V2 with the same glaring issues it had back from 2012 with slightly better graphics.

they don't even have to salvage ngs. all they have to do is return to fully supporting base pso2. if they are so content with making people go through pso2 again but through a reboot, why not reboot pso2es and idola too? it makes no sense that everyone is getting a third of the original experience, maybe even less if you count pso2comi and the episode oracle animation. you cannot reboot the pso2s multimedia franchise through just a shitty game. do you know why chairs have three legs or more. because you need as many legs as the dimension they reside in to be stable in the XYZ axis. ngs does not even obey the laws of physics. it has already failed.

They can't do that because that, because NGS is considered and expansion to pso2, not a new game. By that logic they are already "supporting" base pso2 and with people want to play base, it's technically still accessible. This makes the situation even worse because the two games are joined together people can easily go play the husk of pso2 base, compare that to NGS and go, " WTF how did we get so watered down, in terms of everything?". This is why people think the answer is to "simply go back to doing base". All that will do is just make people rightfully go " why couldn't any of this new base content have been done for NGS in the first place." There's no way around it There's no sweeping it away and dismissing it. NGS HAS to be addressed and there only options are to mass demote everyone, actually get all hands on deck to finally make the game get back to where it it should have been or they just straight up EOS and live with having to count pso2, as a whole, now being considered a failure when all is said and done, regardless if all the periods of success it's had in it's life time. What ever gets done at this point by now though, it's clear either way HMZK needs to be ousted.
>>
>>2261451
they could backport ngs improvements and pso2 would still be the better game that feels fresh every time because of the random instanced maps and successors that create true new weapon combinations. true leadership is to take the fault of your subordinates and because HMZK doesn't want to admit fault, he isn't the root cause of the problems yet at the same time is the root of all problems, because when he doesn't take responsibility, none of the team take it seriously or put any effort either. they had no problems writing idola off and pso2es and pso2 off, I don't see why ngs needs to have a special exception.
>>
>>2261467
>they had no problems writing idola off and pso2es and pso2 off, I don't see why ngs needs to have a special exception.

Idola and es, were supplementary extensions. Side content being made with no intention of ever being used to directly influence and change the main game. NGS however is a direct expansion as well as a soft reboot, developed with the mindset of directly taking over to continue pso2. That's why it's can't be written of as just a fluke or one off, the same way Es and Idola can.
>>
>>2261467
Also with those suggestions you had, as good as they are, they just go right back to point of people then asking "why wasn't any of this done for NGS?"
>>
>>2261482
ngs is a tumor designed to remove 10 years of player shaped experience from pso2 and to make everything segas way because to sega "the players are always the problem". and lo and behold sega had no idea what they were doing from start to finish. it should have been buried by now as a gigantic tax writeoff.
>>2261487
nobody is going to care when ngs dies, there are a billion chinese open world games that have already embraced the japanese art style knowing that this is what players want so womp womp if ngs dies.
>>
>>2261549
What part of "NGS is a part of pso2" are you not understanding. People will notice when NGS dies, because when NGS dies, so too does pso2 and phantasy star as a IP goes. My entire point has not been a defense of NGS in anyway, it's been solely highlight the severity of how badly they fucked up with NGS and how big a scale the damage really is. The only people who deny this reality are the naively believe "we can just keep playing the private pso2 server" until Sega makes a new game that's good". And if you're stance on the matter is " Well Sega has shown they don't care about the franchise, it should just die then.", then you should have no problem with anything I'm saying, because all I'm doing is putting perspective on how badly they fucked up with NGS .
>>
>>2261568
>What part of "NGS is a part of pso2" are you not understanding
ngs is like omega and at the end of ep5 shiva closed the book on omega and declared it a load of rubbish. so that should just happen already.
>People will notice when NGS dies, because when NGS dies, so too does pso2
it already died when they did away with the original storywriter ryohei uno who wrote the plot of the game for over a decade and the absence of him shows. there has been nothing other than aina being a whiny brat and saying garoa sucks, like bitch we didn't even get to know him for 0.5 seconds, and from the looks of it calling him a shitty overprotective parent isn't really believable when he was the sole parental figure. and this is the heroine we are supposed to like or something. if she wanted to be arks so much, why didn't she just go to central, dumbass.
>naively believe "we can just keep playing the private pso2 server"
good, because it won't be 200GB updated over and over on shitty maint and several ngs in your face just to play pso2
>Well Sega has shown they don't care about the franchise, it should just die then.
by now its probably dead like they've ingrained ngs for too long that its damaged the reputation so badly there is probably no way they can come back from this. if they don't want to uproot ngs then it should be mercy ended already. if a service game doesn't want to keep improving there is no point in paying a premium subscription for one. pso2 was so good players just chucked fuck you money back at them despite how bad scratch ticket prices could be, to support the devs, and back then scratch tickets on discount could be hoarded and gold scratch set boxes were a thing. if they're not going to bother than why the hell is the game still up. nobody needs to be refed pso2 nostalgia if pso2 exists. its all empty gesturing.
>>
>>2261585
So as I said you should have no problem with anything I've said, yet here you are responding as if you took issue to the things I said.
>>
>>2261590
I actually agree with everything, including the part where the private server people seem like dumbasses because I've seen one developer member barge into the modding server and ask "how do I shoot web" which is not really faith inducing having tourists be in charge of it.

its all just very cathartic to lay it on the people who have called these doomposting and even vanned some other people for realizing all of this and now they can't defend any of it. ngs was really eye opening on how genshin like retarded defender the main game community has become and how people hate change and would rather ngs rot in perpetuity with gameplay that was completed in the beta with nothing new.

so its not just ngs that has to be uprooted. the entire community at this point has to be refreshed. because they are also part of the problem. discords impeding death presents a new opportunity. the time for the real pso3 with a new reborn community is now.

I ain't reading allat globab schizobabble. None of it makes sense and your opinions don't matter to SEGA anyway. JP is the only server that matters and Global will forever be irrelevant.
>>
>>2261630
whats the point when the gameplay in ngs sucks and nobody stays for victory screens because the fights are hollow and the main character is poorly defined in what they do in ngs that you might as well dress them as a cameraman for aina and manon? when was the last time this game got new player voices that aren't collab to liven it up and give inspiration? that time they added 40 new ngs voices and it was just the main ngs cast doing alternate dubs? yuck.

ngs doesn't even do defined hip bones or provide muscular body outside of very choice outfits for men, its androgynous at best. face is shared between male and female unlike body sliders because sega is retarded. and slider rounding is fucked incrementing is by 2 while decrementing is by 1 due to rounding error. also the lighting in ngs is permafucked by accounting for sunlight all the time while pso2 relied on "internal lighting" for everything giving it a distinct anime feel while being 3D and now its just 3D unless you pay sega for rental premium lighting which is stupid. there is nothing more depressing than idling for a few seconds in the city ingame and getting barraged by lookbook likes because the character creator is more effort than its worth to many with how convoluted sliders affect one another that they can't be bothered and can't be faulted for not trying.

what you can do with the free place hair fringe with physics in code vein 1 was amazing and what you can instantly create in tower of fantasy is instantly perfected like "this is my character" with a little bit of fiddling even with its limited sliders and free place makeup is already good enough. thats what the original pso2 strived for and its lost completely on ngs. so no, it is not the best character creator. the dawn of automatic character creation by inputting words or pictures will be soon and ngs needs to do more to stay ahead of the pack. its long fallen behind. ngs did seem like an improvement at first, but it really is not.
