@zaffy2005 I wasn't even aware you only get 3 characters free.If not for skill tree reset that we got for free I would have been screwed without paying more money and I feel you on that mag situation I also screwed mine up because I didn't know what was going on or what I needed for my class. the other guy mentioned its not a problem with the founders addition thats something im not getting for a while, its 60 additional dollars. and premium is annoying because even at the cost of 1100 ac you still are forced to pay bare minimum 20$ because theres no in between ac purchase the minimum amount you can get is 1000 for $9.99 plus tax. so you're still forced to buy a larger package or 2 1000 packages. you make a lot of great points and all of that is hella expensive especially for living in NY. I agree with you

@landman if you mean moving from on room to another I know that I mean like having multiple rooms in side one "room" like have a bedroom as well as the space they give you. also I haven't heard or seen anything of larger rooms but what I was trying to say is that you cant align things down the center of a room without there being more space on on side than the other because of the square count and spacing and the way they work. also now that I'm thinking about it as well, it would be nice if wall items didn't take up floor space and it would be nice if items for example like stone replica could be placed next to each other but directly next to each other where they touch. or it would be nice if you could flip the room 90 degrees so it would be horizontal.

there isn't much I want t say here, I just want to ask that the fototage/square spaces of the personal quarters and items inside so that you can allign things symmetrically and items can be placed amongst the quarters while not looking strung about whilly nilly. and maybe add multiple room extensions purchaseable within the quarters or makle different types of quarters purchaseable like some with different floors or designs

I agree playing on your own or with NPC's should not punish dying with a pay wall it would be nice if you could give NPC's moon atomizers or something so that when you die on your own you aren't forced to quit or pay up as opposed to when you are playing with friends who can revive you. the story on hardcore is already longer and more tedious than it needs to be.

@zaffy2005 said in PSO2 feels like a cash grab, heres way to make it better:

I'd like to add to the list of things that are basic, free functions in other games that shouldn't be "premium" (or just absurdly expensive through "in-game" currencies) is changing colors. Bungie has been missing the mark on a lot of things with Destiny but one thing they've got right is the "Shader" system, which allows us to swap colors on the fly and free/cheap, and I felt even that could have been better. (namely not having to "buy" individual, consumable shaders for every color change). A Color Change Pass is virtually impossible to get in PSO2 without either spending real money unless you want to spend several million Meseta buying AC scratch card cast-offs (or Recycle Badges) in the Personal Shop, just for a single-use consumable for a one-time color change on one piece of gear. That was my "should I even bother to get invested in this game" moment, when I got a Riad Falco outerwear piece and wanted to change the color to match my preferred look.

I agree

@WhiteKnightBlsm said in PSO2 feels like a cash grab, heres way to make it better:

So ive played alot of mmo's in the past. FF14: ARR, elsword, aura kingdom, elder scrolls, warframe, trove ect.

PSO2 as the tittle says feels like a huge cash grab. This game is coming out in the west, you cant get away with some of the stuff you get away with in the east.

For example, locking skill trees behind pay walls is going to instantly turn players off.

There are regular skill tree passes issued in the JP client which reset all of your trees at once, so I've never found this to be much of an issue at all.

My second gripe is with another basic feature in literally every mmo, trading. I can not remember a single mmo that ive played where TRADING IS GATED BEHIND A PAY WALL. Again your trying to get a western audience to spend money before they hit lvl 20 like this?

Its not going to happen. People wont bother.

And yet, loads of people seem to have bought it anyway, judging by what I've seen. That said, I agree. It's one thing to have trading passively gated on a free to play client, and have the ability to either pay your way in or earn your way in. It's another entirely to first require that people subscribe (as in the Xbox gold pass) and then still require the monthly premium set to get access to the store system. I personally think, given the price of the Xbox gold pass, that users who play on the xbox should have certain premium features unlocked by default as a result of having to use the gold pass to even play the game in the first place.

edit:

I should qualify this statement a little. You can access the shop system to purchase items, but not to put items up for sale. You can also get three day shop passes through the fun scratch, but they're exceedingly rare. Selling items on the market is also the fastest way to get money, and therefore get into the endgame, phashion star online 2. Yes, the endgame really is farming meseta to access the best customization options via the market; some costume parts regularly exceed 40million meseta in price, so it will take upwards of 6 months to get enough meseta to complete that set you really want if you don't also have access to the market to sell your old and unwanted costume parts and gear.

I agree there shouldn't be a double pay wall for premium features for the xbox players, when the game drops for PC they not only will be able to play the game truly free without having to be subscribed to xbox gold like xbox players but the xbox players will have to fork over additional money that which could be put towards the premium and not be double paying to access basic features of a free game.

I agree this sucks please allow freedom to transfer between ships without having to start over

I agree, I believe that we should be able to downgrade photon boosters. Especially as a sumoner I have far less use for photon boosters as I have for photon spheres, I can at least put photon spheres towards pet supplies shop items and exp boosts, instead of the photon booster shop basically having a bunch of weapons I can't use

@Mattwo7 the point is its a concert inside of a game, and I'm sure even if we were boring and limited it to one style only (because the possibilities are endless) she still could have more than one song. they could perform oldschool japanese city pop, or rave music which doesn't even require vocals, or jrock or jalternative, or like you mentioned even j rap. the whole point of my suggestion isn't to critique the artist or to ask to get rid of her performance, I love her performance. my suggestion is simply to add more/mix it up, and with that I gave options I could think about off the top of my head. and in reference to the side note I'm not super familiar with the artist herself, but I'm sure not every song is the same tempo and the same exact style with different words. she could easily have a song outside of her norm as just about every artist does, she could be featured in another artists song which maybe incorporates her vocals over a chorus or remixed and mastered into some sort of beat for multiple genres of song. again I could make up a million scenarios but the point is that the possibilities that could be played around with are endless and it would be nice to get some variety or even mix it up just a bit so that its not the same thing repeatedly.

I would like to weigh in on this discussion after having experienced my first concert yesterday. I've been heavily grinding it since its NA release, and I've been loving every bit of it. Quna was great without question but it was very short lived and I'd like to add some ideas that you may or may not already be thinking about. 1.) make it longer/give more songs to be performed at the performance, and as a sidenote to that give her multiple types/genres of song to perform. 2.) put more songs in the arsenal of the performers so that each concert isn't the same as the last (so I'm told from a friend who made the last concert.). also maybe have multiple performers perform in 1 sitting or some other sort of way that I'm basically asking to mix it up and make it last longer haha. also maybe have a special area for the concerts and change the lights and scenes/scenery so it has a more subversive real concert like feel to it. mix up the tempos and add some spice in the mix.
