@Jitsu If you started on XBox/MS Store, then linked to Steam or Epic, you are good. From a technical standpoint, it means that your PSO2 account primarily counts as an XBox Live account (ie. you can unlink your PSO2 account from Epic or Steam, but you can't unlink from the XBox/MS Store version).

@ForensicMocha8 With the Graphics Engine Update, hairstyles, head parts, makeup, eyelashes, eyebrows, pupils, and face types will no longer have any lock to "gender"; however, body paint, cast parts, and outfits are still locked to the masculine- and feminine-type bodies, though you can freely switch between body-types in the Salon (in fact, you get 8 body-types to play with: PSO2 masculine humanoid, PSO2 feminine humanoid, PSO2 masculine CAST, PSO2 feminine CAST, NGS masculine humanoid, NGS feminine humanoid, NGS masculine CAST, NGS feminine CAST; they can all be modified interdependently as well).

@Kwars01 All existing fashion for PSO2 can be used in NGS, but no existing costumes/outfits/layered wear will be compatible with the new NGS-type bodies, rather they are only making select N-type versions of certain PSO2 outfits that are (also, these conversions will be separate basewear than the originals, ie. no free upgrades). So, you can use the HEV Suit, but it won't have the new NGS body options, like moving fingers.

@kyamell For me, it was only a few seconds from Join to Manage, though I did have several minutes of loading when I first hit the previews option.

There is not. The Shop and Scratch Listing interfaces are the only ways to view item previews.

@Demo-Hell Whatever platform you are using (MS Store, Steam, Epic Games) should let you use your credit card to buy from them since AC and SG are purchased through those storefronts rather than directly in-game.

@RikaPSO Because, as I said, the "Transfer Augment(s)" option only transfers non-S-Grade Augments (though, you can also add capsules, including S-Grade Augment capsules, to upslot with it), while you need to use the "Transfer S-grade Augment" option to transfer/swap any S-Grade Augments. It's a weird limitation that they imposed when they added "Transfer Augments(s)" for some reason (it would have made sense just to roll the original S-grade transfer into the new Transfer option, but they probably wouldn't have been able to figure out how to do it without making the basic swapping of S-grades use Transfer Passes).

@NekoN7Templr "Transfer Augments(s)" only transfers the non-S-grade Augments. To transfer the Lifesteal, you need to use the "Transfer S-Grade Augment" option at the item lab.

@TURION-MOONSTAR My screenshots were also made on the Global version of the game last night. If you are not able to access your previously cleared Story Quests, then you are experiencing a bug. You should try a reinstall of the game or send in a support ticket.

You will likely need to verify the file integrity of the game. Keep in mind that this may result in the entire game being redownloaded.
