When launching the PSO2 launcher apart form the already installed PSO2 NGS you can install PSO2 Data when selecting which game to enter when selecting characters. The PSO2 Data is set as a free DLC which gives you access to the game and older items which can be used in NGS.
When first starting a new game you are given the option to choose the look and class of your character, all changes you are making in appearance can be later changed using a currency called Star Gems (SG) or the Free Salon Ticket. The classes can be changed anytime at no cost. After the game's introduction to the game's mechanics you have the option to do anything you want: Exploring, Story missions, Side quest, World Quest (Ordinal Tower, Cannonball Rumble, Cocoon Towers,...).
The best part of the game is combat, every class has at least two equipable weapons and each one has its own abilities. When leveling up, each level gives you a skill point which can be used to upgrade your class. The combat is fast-paced, dynamic and fluid, with many option to enhance your weapons and armors. All weapons and armor can be earned doing quest or be bought in the Player's Market which is the place where you are going to spend your hard earned N-Meseta (in-game currency) for items with ridiculous high prices.
The Player's Market is a place where other players put their items and price at which they will be selling the item. Here is also where all fashion items can be bought, or at the Player's Market or with Limited-time Scratch Tickets bought with real money. Every single fashion items, especially for female characters costs a lot, so.., if you want to wear something you like, you have to grind every single day by doing Daily and Weekly tasks, yes..., doing those quests is the best way to earn money.
The end-game is literally just grinding for better gear and earning more N-Meseta in order to buy fashion items. Fashion is the true end-game, as many players say. Developers are still to this day continuously adding more end-game content, limited-time events and storyline missions.
All in all, this game offers a good amount of content, many story quests, side quests and challenges, but after completing all of them, you are left only with grinding for N-Meseta and better gear and buying fashion items or waiting the developers to add some more content. The best part of this game is combat, but the end-game is mostly fashion.… Expand
